Monday Evenfng's Party.

Scott, Carlota Meyers and doubtless others whose names we have not learned in this 
 The entertainment arranged for consists of the singing of the Star Spangled Ban ner; the Tea Drink, supper, toasts and responses; the singing of old "Yankee Doodle;" Drawing prizes for Centennial stock; dancing. There will be very en- joyable time. The courtroom is large, we'll ventilated, and has good floor. By of the ladies, we herewith print ' Yankee DOOdIe:"
 Once on time old Johnny Bull,
 Flew in raging fury,
 And said that Jonathan should have
 No trials, SIT, by jury:
 That no elections should be held,
 Across the briny waters:
 "And now" said he. |" pll tax the tea
 Of all his sons and daughters
 Then down he sate in burly state,
 And bluster'd like grandee.
 And in derision made a tune
 CalPd Yankee Doodle dandy"
 "Yankee doodle "-these are facts
 Yankee doodle dandy:
 My son of wax, your tea pll tax
 Yankee doodle dandy"
 John sent the tea from o'er the sea
 With heavy duties rated;
 But whether hyson or bohea,
 never heard it stated.
 Then Jonathan to pOut began
 He laid strong embargo
 Pll drink no tea, by Jove!" so he
 Threw overheard the cargo.
 Then Johnny sent a regiment,
 Big words and looks to bandy,
 Whose martial band, when near the
 land,
 Play'd Yankee doodle dandy"
 Yankee dOodle-keep 1t up!
 "YaRkee doodle dandy!
 "I'll poison with tax your cup,
 Yankee doodle dandy"
 A long war then they had; in which
 John was at last defeated-
 And Yankee doodle" was the march
 To which his troops retreated.
 Cute Jo1athan to see them fly,
 Could not restrain his laughter:
 That tune" said he, "suits to T,
 1'll sing it ever after"
 With Hail Columbia!" 1t is sung,
 In chorus full and hearty
 On land and main, we breathe the strain,
 John made for his tea-party.
 "Yankee doodle-ho!-ha!-he
 "Yankee doodle dandy
 We kept the tune but not the tea,
 Yankee doodle dandy!"
 N0matter how we rhyme the words,
 Uhe music speaks them handy,
 EA1u WneTe'S Jle I:ilr CaIlC Slng the ali',
 Of" Yankee doodle dandy!"
 "Yankee dOOdle-firm and true
 "Yankee doodle dandy,
 " Yankee doodle, doodle doc!
 "Yankee doodle dandy"
