Upon IA carcass, which ihcy MUNICH,

To hep defend hem IN heir 'caws,"
And ean,',iiy and ,wceicn their irpast.
In switzerland the bones wele picked,
Where jonathan got badly Kicked
BEHIND the great Geneva >cleen
Mhcl, hid the Arbitration scene
Of dtpiomais, and other lords OF caste.
Our claims were just ten million score,
Ana Bl am JUS nine miious more
Such heavy suns, and lord, growing old,
They wou,d not i've To count The gold,
And agreed 10 Try another plan
John Bull got mad and rascd umain,
Wen, nome, and thcn came back again /;
Revicw'd The ground AT il>t hr tore,
And then he swole and tore il more,
And with his laii the Islands reund did fan.
The "Arbs. sat smiling ut his rage,
Then wrote another modest page,
And added the Prooco'
Nnich made ten ,honcand then, in all,
Ot diplomatic mappcry, the world ne'er saw |
before.
The news by cable, press, and mal,
Informed thu word that John Bulls TAIL !
Was la;oird now, and hanging low,
And he returned IN srarr QUO;
While Jonathan lay PROSTATE on the hoor.
In Time, i'll feelings all gave way,
And ilIen came o. Ncction day,
Wan Al. lis n,rlgucs, pipis and plans,
And dsviiish wolk OF ku ktuy kaDs
And ID IN DcratS, with Grtclcy on thcir backs. |

Bourbon tracks.
Grant cn,ercd then and view'd the course,
lnen with trump alarmed hi, force;
HIS heroes, nal>haied on Tie pam,
Who never drew their swords IN vain,
Now drew again, and snloic thoee seeking
fame
Before the charge the ranks gave way:
The feds were cleared, aad thousands lay
All p,t,t and sptcchless, cold and >,il,
Wutr flowed thc tide OF sovereign viii,
Their brows all bound III wreath, OF shame.
Great men who'yc garnered earthly spoi's,
Have passed from ear.t, end / 5 turnoils,
Aud icit lhcir lessons 1uf lie race,
To ,cach them how Ia Till Their pace
With honor, such ac few men dare 10 boast.
Where's San,on, SEWARD, pfrctcy, Mead -

Who ovorilowcd lhoir u.c,f IN lame,
And died with weig,u al years, and name,
