The Thrashing Machine.

How oft have we heard in the sweetest of song
Of the beautiful sounds which the echoes prolong,
Of the blue, spreading skies and the yawning ravne;
But the best of them all is the Thrashpg Machine!
How loudly laughed on the day when the
Caused the Merrimacs ribs to collapse with slam.
The Monitor scared of that contest the queen,
So we'll shout for her now the Thrashing Machine
Then let combine with the heart and the soul,
To shake this old earth from the center to pole,
And shout, the thunder rolling between
The earth and the sky, for the Thrashing Machine!
Should person encounter tempest in life
Let him neer, like hound turn his tail to the strife
But brandish his falchion aloft in its sheen
And open their teeth with his Thrashng Machine!
When persons who quarrel resort to the law,
How their cash gets transferred to the counseos paw
No lawyer could pounce a client that's green
Did that client fall back on his Thrashing Machine
Let every young boy and each mustached man,
Let woman and maiden unite in the van;
Let thinkers and preachers and editors clean
Combine in roar for the Thrashing Machine!
When the old Alabama set blaze to the waves
With the fire of our ships for the glory of slaves
How stately she breasted the pillows SO green,
Till the morning she met with Trashing Machine
The name of the Kearsatge may live for a time,
But when we are dead and the ages sublime
Refer to that contest, they'll MENTION ween,
The name of our ship as the Thrashing Machine!
Ere Columbus discovered this beautiful land,
His countrymen dubbed him lunatic grand
But here we unite like the peel to a BEAM
To call his old vessel the Thrashing Machine
And leaving the navy, army to trace:
When soldiers retreated with Early in chase
The Star Spanged Banner swept from the scene,
Till Sheridan with his Thrashing Machine!
He swallowed the distance day swallows night,
He halted his forces and wheeled to the right
He sounded his slogan-then Early was seen
To flee like the chaf from our Thrashing Machine!
Huzza! Uncle Sam, with the beard on your chin,
You hug all creation at once with grin;
The grandest invention that ever has been
Isthe thing hatyou made called the Thrashug Machne
The next time we vote for our President great
Let our wirepuling friends from the netherlands watt
And see how we'll sweep all their breastworks SO clean
When charge for the Man with the Thrashng Machinet
How coolly he handled the rebels afar-
How he fought that line as he smoked his cigar

PRETTY SHARP BoY.-One pleasant
day last summer, l took seat in the
stage coach bound from Fall River to
c.
Among the passengers was n little
gentleman who had possibly seen five
summers. The coach being quite full he
sat in the lap of another passenger.
While on the way, something was said
about pick pockets, and soon the con-
versation became general on that inter
estlng subject.
The gentleman who was then holding
our young friend remarked;
"My fine fellow. how easy ! cou.d

"No, you couldn't" replied he ;"I'v'

SHORT DREssEs.-Fashion sometimes
takes sensible freak, and as such
freaks arc few and far between, when
they occur they should be recorded. In
this category we place the present fash
ion Of wearing short dresses. What IL
more disgusting than TO see a lady with
hundred dollar dress sweeping up all
the dirt, mud, and tobacco spit on the
streets. This wrinkle is good thing
for the bootmakers too. A shabby pair
of CATERS or balmorals il discarded at
once. AS we often quoted, It's an ill
wind that doesn't blow good to some-
body"

A RICH EDIToR.-Somebody says
editors are poor, wereupon an exchange
remarks:
"Humph! Here we are, editor of
country newspaper, fairly rolling in
wealth. We have good Office, a paste
pot, u double barrelled gun, two suits
of clothes, three kittens, n Newfound-
land pup, two gold watches, thirteen

LIrTLH GREAT MRN.-Napoleon the
Great, wearing hlgh-heeled boots stood
besides the picture Of Alexander by the
painter David, and, taking out his
snuff-boI with apparent satisfaction,
said, "Ah! Alexander WAS shorter than
am" 1t is curious how many great
men have been short men; the reason
probably is, that where so little matter
is wasted on the legs, there is more to
put into the brain.

that the war, for the restoration of the
Union, was a fraud, a deception to cover
up the real purpose, the freedom Of the
Negroes and laying waste as desert the

doubts. The weight Of death which now
oppresses the true Union men of the
South must be made to release itself by

authors, to eternal oblivion. They have
