When dinner.g Jngs shalt sound;
Heroes prove to "paSs" In
To bright historic page, iliYat'i
To march up or to mass in, 1r
Advance, retreat, engage.
Our devils for tomorrow,
Well ''laid," and ON the air
''No copy" nor to borrow - a.. e
A dollar here or there,
No lsw-cBse TO be rended
To find the first pretext,
OF English language blended ~ ue r7
In the tsngie, snarled and Vexed.
The only ''pi" to ''set up" ...4..s.
Well formed aud rocked with cheese,
No o'den tare TO get up, q. Uas .ret

No jubilee to puff up, 'sl PTS. 81 20

No fear that We shall rough up
Our feathers in the whlles
What ifthe Spanish nation

The Poles are not so mild /;
II Stokes escape his halter,
Or Mexico shall fight -rs
If Captain Jacks Gibraltar
Be stormed and set to right /; h
Or, if our "slow" subscriber
Shall miss 10 from bis door.
Or yet, beyond the TIber
The watch dog bays no more
Or still, if revolution as.
Has selZed upon the French,
Til they rend their constitution ~
Upset their Judges bench.

Till ST Louis, sorely sick
Let's our Milwaukee grapple ....
The problematlc trick.
Or, il the railroad netting
That lies across the lands,
A peoples neck is frettIng
With steel and iron BANS;
Or, if the equinoxes
And moon have changed sway.
Till weather paradoxes
And riddles fill the day.
These, brother Quilts, are ours,
Our capital last year, ..
And next, but power of Powers,
They must not enter here,
We sunk without scrupIe
The whole malevened lot,
And pile the earth quadruple,
One 10hite 1Oeek. on the spot.
This aged, mighty river,
That, sweeping to the sea,
With current, curve and SILVER,
Is not more grandly tree,
In birthday garb and glory
Than this array Of QuIlls--
Ready to i've in story
Or in mansions, on green hills.
If there be Bret Hartes waiting
To blaze poetic fire,
If Reeds or Bennets, prating
Of patriot desire

Or Poes. dozen strong,
Forget the songs you've sung us
The burning tales OF wrong.
For, In the next years grinding"
The erist will oft be "tolIed,"
And last years promised, binding,
Before the next unfold ;
For something better, brighter,
Will easier be kept;
If leisure be made lighter,
And the old boards be swept,
Of literary rubbish,
And letters gone. to "hash )"
OF cant and claiter snobhsh,
And fToth and foam and trash,
Till Badger quilts, though pointed
With diamonds in the rough,
Shall trace the words anointed,
That spring from purest stuff.
IT'LL. 81 will tickle you. sir,
And you shall tickle me-"
Like those who trade and ''jew," sir,
Snail somehow cease to be,
The capital to worry
The peoples tender (?) ear.
And help the nation hurry.
Sad and solemn, to it's (beer) bier.
Till fear for bread and butter
Don't turn us from the path,
Ofrectitude, to utter
The tales that lead to wrath !;
'Till the peop4e---bless the hearties,
Bless their pockets full of gold,
Cannot shout "see how these parties
Goose QatllS-are bought and sold.
In parenthesis, (the people,
From mountain unto main,
From steeple unto steeple,
From river unto plain,
Never slig1tted must be Needed,
ReservlLg the Cne choice.
To fight for them if needed,
With oar weapons, ways and voice.
The textbook for the ages
Is the peoples honest good,
Philosophers and sages
Seek to win their brotherhood
We walt to catch their meaning,
Ard shouldering their cause,
With oars, go a-gleaning 6d rs.
And pruning unjust laws.
Then brother Quilts, a greeting
In spite of change or chance,
There's nothing like re treating
Although we mean advance.
Here's to the girls behind US,
And TO the dear ones gone {;
To those whose fetl ers bind us
Who sew our buttons on.
