a Presidential Poem.

Every English schoolnoy knows the poeti
cal catalogue of his couutry's Kings First
William the Norman, then William his son,
and so down. Let American boys try thi:
for their kings:
George Washington first 10 the White ious,
came;
And next on the list is John Adams name.
Tom Jefferson next filled the hUnored place.
The name of James Madison next we trace.
The fifth in succession was James Monroe;
And John Quincy Adams the next below.
Then Andrew Jackson was placed in the chair;
And next we find Martin Van Buren, there.
Then William II. larrison's name we meet
Whose death gave John Tyler the coveted seat
Then James X. Polk was the nations arst choice
Next for Zachary Taylor she gave ner voice,
Whose premature death brought in Millard Fiji
more;
And next Franklin Pierce the distinction wore
The fifteenth was Jenny Buchanan, they say,
Who for Abraham Lincoln prepared the way:
Whose martyrdOm gave Andy Johnson chance
The eighteenth name was Ulysses ). Grants.
And now we lind IN later DAYS
The nineteenth name is r. Is. Hayes.
