OUR CARRIER BOYS NEW YEAR RHINE.

Times change changing, and the monotone Of ages
Ever breaking in a rayish of delight;
And alternating pic, : fc's complicated pages,
10 divert IS IN It's darkness into light.
But all sortd sentiment, and give you only rhyme;
Thereu be time to speak of when must;
Life surely rejojcing-is the only licensed time
If we then neglect the rubbing viii rust.
The OF Hfe morta need be striving
To hide his soul beneath veil of night;
There's enough wasted sunlight to keep the world in thriving,
II we'd gather up the fragments as we might.
ACCEPT nv Introduction then snd III proceed telling,
With q candor which my subjects demand
the attribute Of conscience, my FeTacity compelling,
Shall between arbitrator stand
King Policy is monarch whom it's treason to deride,
And his crnginc vassas loter round his throne,
While flaming manifestos in profsion supplied
In a manner that's peculiarly his own.
The exempt with its sacred incense burning
81 Nor the altar free from sauor of its power;
Though ihe pastor in his evor from has presence purnin
And christians doprecate it every hour.
It's better that the pews should be clearly swept and garnished
And the rust that's on the hinges Of the doors
Should od by Devotion than their usefulness be furnished
BY the resonance OF sacreligous SHORES.
Our statesmen so to church and the urchncn go state
All ling arn-in-alm together;
Bringing terror the people overtaken by the fate
OF being crushed between the upper stone and neither
The spirit this monarch sits compacent the banner
Of the nation bidding millions to his court
And many needing his allnrcnens in a
That to mejs very painful to report
The Executive is honest, and the country is at peace,
And our old co,ia smiles again
Which makes it quite embarrassing in view of the increase
OF the salaries, to morally explain.
Bat Ndree says It's justice that be should be increased
John Aionssey sits smiling his assent;
while Butler and Fernando Wood, galaxies Of the East
With their backward pay" and forward" content
We the people, guilty TO any great degree;
We mover have instructed them steal;
Let the guilty take the hint for they must plainly
That cannot their cupdity conceal
But something's out Of joint, for the nations in bubble,
And politicians wandling to and fro,
With expressions of despair, indicating latent trouble,
Which is threa'ning dissolution as they go
There to be pain in the fedy of the nation,
Which diagnostc Congress ought to fnd
And either kill by local application,
Or gentle sudolifc of kind
Each Congressma doctor for they each others Ills
And prescribe fol the Cabinet and Grant or
They take their contagon and roll it into pills

The Changers gathring from every and farm
With their wives, and sons, and daughters in array;
And their pc geany is filing all the people with ALARM
As they view them crowdng i'll from every way
They coming in their might to inaugulate Reform
And restore the equilibrium of laws:
To raise against mOnopoEes counteracting storm,
And dedicate the nation to their
They'll crush the lazy mdlemen who dare to go between,
TO intercept the profits in their trade;
And the campaigning agents viii soon seen:
For the Changers dispensing with their aid
But willy politicians will be counting future fame,
And rejoice and feel as happy CLANS;
Some viii JOIN Tire Changers and go to raising cane
While others will indulge in nursing lambs
And ut behind the Changers stand another of men,
Who are buzzarls in the army OF Reform;
They csH themselves RefoneTs, bu ready when
There's a falls, to eat while its warm.
The Democrats and Libals have sort of bu2zard smell,
Since the battle with Republicans last fall;
