whore the Elizabeth and james
Their flowing streams unite,
Within the Fortress of Monroc
Appeared the othcr night
A ghost; but darned if can state
How he got in ut any rate
lie walked straighway to Carroll Hall
And gave the door rap,
Which reused the trousy scu;incl
Out Of his dreamy nap.
Anu made him trcmblc like n leaf
1t was so sudden and so brief.
However, he unlocked the door,
And, Saint Peter, save us,
Tho ghost said, "l'm George Washington,
Come to see Jc!f. Davis.
Row, point his room out rgh, away
be quick, be silent aud obey -
Then George st liked into JcIfy's room
And said, Friend Jef, how arc you?
see they have not killed you yet;
hopo 10 not scare you?"
"Oh, no." said JEFF. "hut pray be seated,
Your visit is appreciated"
"Indeod," said George, I'm glad of that
1t gives me consolation
But tell me Joif, what do you think
About your situation!
hear that Congress, in due season,
Intends 10 have you ,ried for treason"
"Thcrc's not n doubt at ALL" says JEFF,
"They'll have me put on trial;
For since your time tho Yankees havo
Become extremely loyal
Their taxes pay without Il word,
For whic:, they damacd old George the
Third" IN : s.e
s'But tell me, George, how is it you
Arc praised and me dtridcd?
You went in for secession,
And hell slaves rs ,wrllas liI.
must confess | cannot sec .f
The difference lwixt you and me-"
Pooh, pooh" says George, II wonder at
New Englnnd'in my day, held slaves,
And went in for secession
And would have been the same 10 day,
Nut, don'tyou see, it would no! pay.
"Bcsidcs, you know, 10 turn their coats
The saints arc mighty handy,'
And arc as fond OF power and cash, Pa.
As!girls ore fond Of oa,i'ly:
l also found those shoe. peg pelllcrs
A cnnliug set Of knaysh mcldlcrs.

You know it to your COST
They praise mcup because I won,

If they should prosecute you,
Your conduct jus'ifyby mino.

Ii George was right, Jolt was not wrong.
uDut should tho hirots now in power
All human fights deny yor.
Then meet your fate like brave lman,
The world will justify you,
But here our conicteiice must end:
BE candid md b. firm, my friend" ~
Tho ghost then walked out of the room,
With military precision, si4 y r.a
And nwoke and rubbed my eyes,
And found il bpt aHision,
Brought Oh by ,sleeping on my back,
And drinking too much apple jack. ! atl
