Our Nez-Pique friend has moved away
No doubt against his will
To where he'll have another say

Wen hear no more of bonny bowers
And prairies grand, sublime,
Where he once spent such sunny hours,
In bottling up his rhyme.
His decoration ode We'll keep
In mem'ry of the friend
Whose spirit broken now must weep
For Nez-Piaue to the end
We saw him but the other day
On entering Clinton's store,
And though he hadno word to say.
His looks we did deplore.
He'd cape and stretch and snore,
And anon ope his eyes
Would look out of the door,
Te swore he couldn't rise.
We thought that he was dragged
BY liquor inward taken
But there we We're humbugSed-
Twas we, not he i'll taken.

The entertainment given at the col
cred Methodist church on Friday and
Saturday nights of last week was well
attended and proved conclnsively that
the colored people are neither devoid
of stage talent or taste in arrangement
if occasion presents itself. The singing
which accompanied the exercises was
also very good, and the applause from
the balcony immense.
