I'd now my kind friends please look for tn moral
! this story I'll Tell of . family quarrel
On very large firm
Dwell with his dana
And his children, "a swarm;
Uncle Sam was his name.
There they lived many years,
All together in peace;
They grew rich, shed tears,
And enjoyed life at least
But change came too soon
As change conleth below
A nd as hoar frost in June
Cuts the Howeret low,
So the joy OF this band
Quickly faded away: =
There war in the land
And DEATH wsiked in the fray.
How this all came about
Is it not very plain?
No! Then I'll write it out
Ina humorous vein
Uncle Sam ere this hour
Had great crowd of boys
Who gave him his power
And lent zest Ia his joys
Taere vera Abe and Ulysses,
There were William and Phil,
Thomas Howard and joe
With many more still
Who lived in the North part
OF Samuel's good farm,
And cheersi his old heart
With their loyalty warm.
And there We're Jefferson,
Robert, Johnston and EcGs,,
Who thought tilcmselyes-each one
Mighty smart" you know!
Old Gam they did not love
They said they'd pull his hair
If A be placed above
A Bgea!l-ii-t tn -ridge near there
A this Old Sam just said
Keep quiet boys fuss:
You'll lay You make your bed
Though nerSr 80 bad tn muss.
But the ugly. silly chaps,
To tn warning took no heed
Got mad and took their hats
And swore they woIIi sece te.
They did many foolish acts.
And loudly did they cry:
Ere taking our back tracks
In the last ditch wc VIII die
Then Father Sam got mad
And SPANKED the little brats:
: III show you I'm your dad,
Hou pesky little rats!n
But cut in the wet they went
Swearing the Yanks they'd whip
And every cent !h'y spent
While undertaking it.
And ont there d-eary and cold
For several ycar7 they stood
Till they shat they were sold
Then suddenly good.
To get bread AMI butter
We must so 10 the house
SAID they with dutter-
said sam : AR CON, GerIatS -
When We have Equal Rights
And goa do Is say,
will forget your fights
Aud let yon in this wAyi''
At this turn of events
Once again they got mad.
AID lost what common sense
In olden time they had.
But Uncle Sam moved not,
And the hoys soon got cool
Each darkay cas-; his vote,
Elch young mig Went to school.
So the door opened wide,
And the ooys ioIdiei m
Tai ing seats beside
Their ever loyal kim
We hope they never more,
While in silly pet
Will break good Samuels door
To set out in the wet.
About the late canvass, ere closing my song,
III say few words: it'll not take me long.
The election OF President. YOU must know.
Occasioned a wonderful buster and blow;
Republicans said that GRANT was the man;
The Democrats stcore that s,e-nore lei the van.
The people Granted the former were right.
The latter see-niore, swear worse and get tight.
GRANT & CoLYAx elected the Nations choice
Lot trsitars all tremble let good men rejoice,
And here my friends to all Good day.
Eve spun my yarn too long,
But when the dcrI is to pay
If short, it might seem wrong.
I'm going, now, back TO my case,
But once a week don't fear.
IL. bring the TRIBUNE in hot haste
Through all this Happy Year.
o Make Good Sweet Butter In Winter
There is general complaint at this
eason with regard to the flavor and color
f butter. All this may be obtained with
little care and attention. We make
