And, in short, there's the dickens to pavl
Come home, come home. come home!
Sweet Hiram Ulysses, come homel

OF the muddy old treaty he made.
While your half-witted Frederick goes prane-

Ben Butler is cooking his eye AZ your spoons;
Tom Murphy lies out in the cold;
Your bands have stopped playing their Gus

And fear me, sweet Hiram, you're "sold."
Come home, come home. come homei
Sweet Hiram Ulysses, come home.
There's horse in the circus for you and Col

It's the horse that you rode in the South,
The monkey stands ready to leap ON your
backs.
And there's whisky to put in your mouth
So Hiram, dear Hiram, don't feel very bad
When you learn that my tidings are true.
You are better at home with cigars and your
dad,
For the people arc tired Of you.

AT last the squire could stand the dul,

Ruth for Europe.
Time had been when Ruth would have
rejoiced at such change. Bat now she
disliked to leave home, fearing that she
