THE GRAND ARMEE.


Sung by ex'Confaderate Col. W. H. Roberts, on the
pcept OF his appointment as Codlher Of the laws
nd regulations OF the army of the United states;
Not very long ago drew my sword,
To destroy the Union my soul abhorred.
fought 80 we'll, and gained such fame,
That full-hedged Colonel soon became
SO well did manage my Colonelcee
That now make the laws for the Grand
Armee.
The war being ended I tried my skill
AT dishlng up talk for a newspaper mill
In the newspaper mill showed my sense
BY balancing well on the top of the fence.
The fence bestraddled so carefulee,
That now make the laws for the Grand
Armee,
AS sat on the fence and looked abroad,
saw log blocking the wheels Of Fraud,
Then stralghtway hastened to Ohio,
And rolled out the log to let the wheels go.
Irolled away the log so lngeniouslee,
That now make the laws for the Grand
Armee
Ibargained with Hayes that the solid South
Should hold It's tongue and closeits mouth.
AAhN AAHJ w shVh pIOuilbtu " uUey bnS law
And the troops from the South soon to withdraw,
And both of us bargained so sagaciOuslee
That now make the laws for the Grand
Armee.
The honest people may grumbe as they please
When over their heads rise at my ease,
The reason rise is no other than this,
That know what to do at great crisis
a tJha Y L.
That now make the laws for the Grand
Armee.
Ex.Confederates all, whoever you may be,
II you want to rise to the top Of the tree,
Stick close to the fence. and never go abroad,
Until you can drop on the side Of Fraud,
On the side of Fraud you must drop so free,
If you wantto make laws for the Grand
Armee. -NglO York Sun.

THE improvement in Washington city
since Democratic majority in the House
in 1875, has been often referred to. The
immense assemblage of corrupt lobby
lists has disappeared, and committee
rooms being used as barrooms for bibu-
lous Republicans, is no longer the rule.
Miszer Chandler found the inspiration
for his speeches in his committee room,
and 1t is said old Simon Cameron used to
set up many a bottle of Kreig for the
widow Oliver in his committee room,
The Senate committee rooms are now
very different places under Democratic
rule. Let the temperance people give
US credit.

Longfellow never wrote more truthful or touching
poetry than that inspired poem entitled "Resigna.

"There is no flock however watched and tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no tireside, howsoer defended,
But has one vacany chair.
THE air is full of farewells to the dying,
And mourning for the dead;
The heart of Rachel for her children crying,
viii notbe comforted."
How Plerpont must have suffered before he gave
voice TO that sad refrain:
L cannot make him dead
His fair sunshny head
Is ever bounding round my study chair;
Yet when my eyes now dim,
With tears, 1 turn TO him.
The vision vanishes-he is not therel
I walk my parlor floor,
And, through the open door,

And am stepping toward the hall,
Igive the hoy call;
And tnen bethlnk me that-he is not there!"
