To La Belle Democrat.
AR To SUIT YOURSELF.

Oh. there lives in our town
A bard of sope renown,
Quite poet, i'll the printers estimation.
He $ wondrous sly old rat,
This La Belle Democrat
Whe sPouts Shakespeare for the town
corporation.
There was once upon time
When bis muse was wont to rhyme,
Praises for the Grant Administration
But through some slight mistake
His fattery didn't take,
And he left very pleasant situation.
Since then he's turned around
And another axe has ground,
To make little popular demonstration.
He's veteran without scar,
He smells the battle from af;ir,
And is freuzied to state of desperation
Though ii goes against the grain
He never will complain,
But consoles himself with songs of adu-
lation.
He's a martyr to the cause,
He understands the election laws,
And prays for the Bourbon restoration.
