Of slavery, or in fact anything with
"abolition" attached to 1.-THE very
name is distasteful to him. Included
within the bosom Of his estimable fam
lily is a bright little boy-a little black
eyed chap, for whom we predict a bril-
liant future. The other evening, the
little fellow being troubled with chill
blains, wanted some abolition OIL 70

stuff az all. Abolition oil! Pshaw! what
trashy humbug; 'twou't cure anything
Younp America turned aside to sister,
saving, with q sly twinkle IN his eye:
al know what's the matter with Pappy.
II says abolition on the bottle so
"'tain't good for nothin', but if 1t only
said Democrat on it, 'twould cure
everything

The sage brush or the mountain SIDE,
wild storms no longer fearing, smiles
upon the patches brown Of rocks n
earth appearing. Sweet notes from
feathered sougSters wild, we'd ave
DER hill and vale, but ne'er a bird have
we to sing, and jerk his little tail.
Saloon doors are open wide, bar-keeps

nice cooling drinks is selling ice to-day.
For three days longer we are sure with
sunshine to he bles., for the Gold HUI
pigs have all their shouts now steadily
pointed west.
