THE AMERICAN BIRD,

THE AMERICAN BIRD.
A Great Day for This Dis inguished Biped
"A Rally all Around to Obey Official
Orders and Stuff the Stuffing-SOmeo of the
Public Observances.
This is the day set apart by the individ-
ual land collective rulers of the United
States of America, as the one day out of
the three hundred and sixty-fve in the
whole year, upon which the people should
do honor to the great American bird; and
it is safe to say that no commend of the
rulers will ever be more readily
and more joyfully obeyed than
this. The ease and alacrity with which the
people ''fall to- and obey this command is
strong argument in favor of their dccil-
ity and their desire to do the square thing
by the rulers. It is creditable to the peo-
pie that this is so, and that no draft is nee
essary to be resorted to to compel obedi-
ence. There are no bounty jumpers, no
deserters. Every man shoulders his
weapon and walks bravely and manfully
up to the front rank, and engages W: tn true
devotion and a generous and patriotic
determination to do his whole duty faith
fully and honestly. Nothing delights the
patriotic citizen more than to get into the
thickest of the fight, and if fall he must, to
fall with his feet to the foe. The poet has
sung of its being ''sweet to die for ones
country" If this be SO, how much more
saccharine to lay down ones existence for
the bird of garlic and sage, bread
crumbs and oysters. 1t requires
not the Office of the spirit stirring
drum Or ''the ear piercing fife"
to entice or force the dutiful citizen to
obey orders on this occasion. From the
Penobscot to the golden Pacific shores,
from the gulf to the DEVILS lake the noble
army of warriors throughout all America
will to-day refuse to ground arms as
long as there is a second joint i'll
sight. It's great day. 1t makes ones
bosom swell with pride to see such uni
versal devotion, such an unchanging
determination on the part of the people to
do their whole duty. The American
bird is sleek, well fed animal, and is
the cause of much patriotic devotion. It
is at last resolved into kind of unifying
principle. 1t makes people believe they
| are good whether they are Or not. It's
the same as Mrs. Winslow's syrup, only in
different way. The principle is the same
but the process is different. This bird to :
| day will be shot and carved, and picked,
and pulled in pieces. It will be boned and
toasted, spitted and roasted, and yet it will
come again in three huxdred and sixty.
will march up again in solid ranks and do
their duty then just as they do this year.
This is the one consoling part of the
whole thing and makes one proud of his
r.ce. Long live the American Bird.
