EUGENE w. sWINDELLs, CARRIER.

happy New Year to YOU ladies and gents,
Don't think have come for your dollars ana Genus
Though we boys of the press who distribute the he"''
Are little like Grant and we never refuse
what kihd.hearted friend is inclined TO Destow,
With prospect of doubling his money you M Know
AnJ bptter investment you hardly can make
Than a few idle dollars, the HERALD to take
Ana slirrly the tarrier-boy, who delivers,
Fan make Il All right to his generous givers:
He is thick with the editor, owner and devil,
M Inows what is what and his head is all level
So donH, FOR a moment, imagine this call
Is to empty Your pnrses and pocket it all
"Tis only visit Of friendship, to chat
In heirhbory way about this thing and that
And to Know how your business is getting along, v.
Vn homes and your prospects, what right and what wrong
What vou think of the times aid political doings
At home and abroad, of the radical brewings
At AHstin and Washington. Is it .a .bra9th
To nourish the people, or poisonous troth'
1$, knEn ont their vitals and shorten their breath,
T;ll Nothing remains but convulsions and death?
Won don't iiks the taxes? Well neither do |,
IF thew stfe% us much more they will squeeze us quite dry
WITH their tariffs and internal revenue laws, ~,
Tbev reach out and seize everything in their claws,
With tax 6r our bodies, our brains and our Jaws,
On whatever we wear Or we eat, or we drink
While at home, we're forbidden to sneer or to wink
Or to take proper care of 9nr Selt 81, or our lves'
And 10 inst as thev please so they Edmund obey,
And vote for the radical ticket alway.
You think the officials are none Of the best?
That each one is trying to feather his nest,
4nd keen himself warm, while the people at large,
I;ct colder and nakeder under their charge? .l
ffHst # hardly is fair to take half that you make
70 school all the darkies for loyaltys sake?
That i white ntan's as good black and should be
C6isidered his equal in law and as free?
TbAt If matters 90 on in this turbulent way,
There must come, soon or LATER a reckoning day.
With worse than printers poor devil to pay?
Hold UPS how you grumble, lookout hdhest folks;
How YOU chate and get mettesome under your yokes
Yoi iiu3t take it all tasy, and never complain
Of the whip and the spur and the 6lt ana the ren'
Or ULYSSES will thrcsh all the rebels again.
Attend to the Carrier Boys elaboration,
Aid heed Ills adtite on the bad sitilatioh: -.
BE quiet and patient, though Watchful and bold,
Work hard and hold on to your silver and gold;
For the day may arrive, when the bubble will burst
And the GOOD old Republic no longer be curst .
With greeu-backs at discount and stroupdrels at par,
When new light indy gledri 5f eash glorious stst;
And purity, wisdom and Justice shall reign,
Over mountain and prairie and valley and plain,
And a Union of Peace aid Union of Love
Shall be prospered and blessed by the Father alcre
Let the Jonng people marry las, as tast as tle' can
For each pretty gill has a right to man. c,o,
And a true man can bear all the burdens OF lie
With loving, devoted and vlrtous wlfIe'
So marry and multiply, filling the and 4;
With the earnest of soul and the mighty OF hand,
With workers and fighters, if fighting must come
For freedom and honor, for house and for home,
And every seasoh years roll along
Make merry at Christmas with music aHd schg
And he sure that the Carrier-Boy will be here,
To greet YOU and wish you HAPPY New YEAR.
