WHY THE PRESIDENT is IMpEAcnED-
"Cory O'Lanus," humorous contributor to
the Brooklyn Eagle, gives the following as the
reasons for the impeachment of President
johnson. "Corys" reasons certainly have
some point: SO
''For being Andrew johnson.
For aegravating Congress by referring to
nm obsolete document known ms the Cc,stitu-
.tion. of the United States. ie.p.it@ i,
For insisting that the Union has not bee,
dissolved.
For asserting that Il white man is as good as
Il negro.
For maintaining that tho President has Il
right to exercise powers conferred upon the
| offcc,by the aforesaid Constitution.
Because Alabama didn't swallow the black
drauyht of the Jacobin Constitution.
For violation of the law against cruelty tc
animals, in trying to kick dirty dog out Of

To gather shining dust"
I've trod lifes weary way alone,
OF social joys denied,
And never dared n scnnty meal
With others to divide.
I've felt the stings fpovcrty,
And shivcrcd with the cold,
While sitting on my strong-lockcd chest,
Filled up with yellow gold.
I've wrung the heart Of honest toll
To heap the glitterng'd dust,
And sought to put it fur beyond
The reach of .'moth and rust'
I've never wrought in friendships chnin
A single golden link,
Or heard, in music, sweeter strains
Than silver's ringing clink.
Long years ago, in vigorous youth,
My life and strength sold
My trusting heart, my soul, my NIL,
To bring, deceptive gold.
