Around iis roots To make them keep,
They'd pile the lyfrer compost heap,
The which has for component parts,
Toned widows tears and broken hearts,

While all creation stoid antzed,
Aud wondered how such thugs could be.
Beneath oar tree Il Liberty.

ContFaetsdhy CsIt country foes
These th rgs the rebeisdone uii brown,
In Phiiaderhial loyal town
The rebels fed the mil wecn
While Andy turned tho big machine
They love thc Union true, they stt
As nature loves the light If tlaS
And 10 keep 1t green fJr them auj you,

Well make him climb so low, that he,
Aclnbef never more will be
Hes but page from treason sent,
Clipped by ttilar Pref lont
1hc rebels fought yon 60 their death.
Then cursed you with their dying b.oAth;
ANA now their ghost stalks through the Land,
T., welcome ynn with bloody hauIs,
And e'cn to-day, Throughout the South.
Foul treason filters from their mouth,
Instead Ui lying idly by,
Eni0; ing their repentance cry,
