Gu sec, pldJ2Ss SlOailS anu SHOUTS OF men,
Allover the Md is mourning for the loved
who have bcef lost-butchered by Burn
side slaughtered for effect
These furs were by him given to vol
ume two of the government, and she gave
him h his eagle; The Lord loves cheer
And while he was fighting, let Us look
after the furs.A Only g. 900, gentlemen.
Before a glass, the Late Lamented peep
ing over from behind, his eyes rested on
the beauties to be seen in the mirror
GLOW beautTul-how beautiful, amt
they, Abey e AOh, these furs were high
ly priced: You have all heard -
Republics are upgTateful," in the olden
time twas writ
lie t's call the noun Republicans, that names
better fit
For it only seems like yesterday they buried
Linceln's dust,
And called his wife, and Tad, and Bob, the
nations sacred trust
A trust aHloyal men would keep while they
his life respected
That never could, nor would, nor should be
neglected.
No need to ask of monuments, that were to
DS OiONlCN%
For Mrs. l.. has not received that fortune she
expected.
A princely fortune twas to be, made up of
loyal dollars
And in her lofty, regal way, why-she just
up and hoilers.
They've heard IN all the papers, (for she does
speak very clear,)
"Two thousand won't support her, and she's
less than that year"
So, soon of loyal greenbacks, if she don't
rake in heap,
Shell sell her '.go-to meetin' clos" and sell
them dreadful cheap.
Fer salei Who'll buy? Dnds rich and rare!
Diamonds, and sBawls Of camel's hair
And laces that queen might wear
And furs from Russia far
Poor Mrs. Government!
How much for the shawl? Oh, one
hundred dollars, and down it goes to Burn
side, to keep him warm, for one hundred
dollars.
Now, gentlemen, Wen offer a gold
watch and four dozen gold spoons, assort-
ed sizes. These are valuable goods, saved
from the war by one Butler, ANONYMOUSLY
called ccek-eye! He was favorite of
volume two Of fthszgoyernment, and as he
first saw her frightful extremity, he liber-
ally gave of his earnings to support her.
These goods are pure gold--no silver
plate. They have a ten-fold value. They
belonged to the patriots of the revolution
to the late rebels-to the people of the
South, which was, which was not, which
is and which amt. They were conquer
ed by Butler and presented TO the second
volume of the government for Il position.
This watch, gentlemen, has been under
the furs, under the laces, under the eye OF
Mrs. Lincoln. 1t has been in the hands OF
the "B. B." and the 81. L." and is
warranted perfect timer
1t is dreadful TO think the government s
widow Is so hard up!
The scowling Loyal Leaguers cry-"She is
some party'S tool!''
And the Democrats. they chuckling say
'.Oh, no she's bnt fool !"
But one things clear and ceTtain-ali parties
are agreed
That tool or fool, she told some truths and
he who runs may read.
Read what thing is loyalty when it's wei
dssected-
! Why the people gave their dollars, and no
one Of them suspected.
! Somebody of them, "'sartain sure" but they
were uisdirected CD,
/ For Mrs. L. has net received that fortun,
she expected.
! She knows she ought to have it, and slit
thinks somebody's got it,
And that's the reason why she makes thi
precious fuss about it. -r-
/ What a chance for a committee, all loyal &
a man,
a. D..
Butler in its van.
They could search this mighty nation till the,
found her greenback heap,
AJld sdue those sgo-to-naectin' clos, - for shell
sell them dreadful cheap!
| For sale! Who'll buy ? Duds rich and rare
Diamonds, and shswls of camel's hair!
And laces that queen might wear
And watches and spoons of choicest ware! I!
Poor 1irs. Government
Next, gentlemen, comes some handker
chiefs valued at two hundred dollars
They are elegant-can blow your nos

bushes of the relict. Oft has she bel
these presented wipers to her face, an
blushed, and said 'EOh don't - oh II
not worthy such presentsl" and eye!
I'll get the office for you - and 'Oh Gel
tainly, I'll coax it out of Abey !" An
''To be sure you can havo the foreign mi:
sion for boxfull efthese 2" And so th
poor woman suffered for her countr
Ny God, gentlemen, but how she snffeI
ed How much for the wiper-lace, lib
