wUEN THIS Old HAT WAS NEW.
Before this hat was made,
King George was en- the throne,
Our Fathers all were rebels then,
And fought with Washington;
The tories cheered for old King George
The Revolution threaghI
And Dragged ,aboat their loyalty,
Ere this old hat was new.
when this old hat was new
The sons Of that base crowd
Revived the cry of "Loyalty,"
And beloved it aloud;
The government our fathers made
Fer them would never de;
And they have tors its bulwarks down
Since this old hat was new.
When this cid hat was new
There was nc public debt,
Ne green backs took the place of gold,
No millionaire had yet
His pile for Seven fhirties spent,
On which no tax was due,
But each man fairly paid his tax
When this old hat was Aew.
when this old hat was new
Rlsctisns still were free,
And every man was thought to have
A right to liberty;
Arrests we're M de by course of law,
Trials were speedy too,
And Seward rang no little bell,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat WAS new
This land was in its prime,
MiscsgenatisH was untaught
Ia all this happy cline;
And white folks then were thought as good
As ssmso, Cuff or Sue;
Bat things have sadly changed about
Since this old hat was new.
When this old bat was new
Th.psor white man was free,
Ard every year bran new boy
Could dandle en- his knee
Bat now fer every child he has,
He's taxed till all is blue;
But thiags tell You were not,e
When this old hat WAS new.
VIXEN this old hat was new
Gold asllars did abound,
Asd not stamp in all the land
Could anywhere be found;
Bat now you dare not kiss your wife,
Unless you stamp her toe;
But thisgs tell you were not SO
When this old hrt was new.

A Woman That's Hard to Please.

She does not like man that's tall;
a maa that's short is worse than all. She
much abhors a man that's fat; a man
that's lean is worse than that. A young
nam is a constant pest, an old one would
her room infest Nor does she like a
man that's fair; man that's dark she
ssnnot besr. A man Of sense she could
not rslc; and yet she could not wed a
fool. A sober man she will not take; a
drunken man her hear, would break. All
tssse she does most sincerely hate; and
vet she loves the married state.

ment as a substitute to the second section

elared free by the Proclamation Of Emanei-
patton and by the recent amendment Of the
Constitution, are now kidnapped and trans
ported to Cuba and Brazil, TO be held as
slaves, and that in this way a new slave
trade has been opened on our southern
coast; therefore,
ResOfUed, That the COMMITTEES on the Ju-
dietary be directed to inquire if any further

ping of freedmen and a renewal Of the slave

He was in favor Of the resolution.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. WADE called up the bill TO give the
consent of Congress to the annexation Of the
counties Of Berkeley and Jefferson Of the
