HIAWATHA TAKES AN OUTING.
This week our muse has gone and left
us,
He is now at far Topeka,
Gone to see the mighty legion.
Gone to see the tearing war-horse,
To behold that serried phalanx,
All arranged in line of battle,
Where the great man Roaring Thunder,
Where the captain Mucha-Big Mouth,
Where the champion Saw-My-Leg-O Of,
With each other are contending,
Seeking who shall be the foremost,
Who shall be the great law maker
For the people of the nation.
