\ mortal challenge we've received
To meet a coward by the way;
But scarcely we would have believed
Such wantou folly he'd display.
Yes, folly OF the deepest dye,
In every thing that he has done
1t matters not how hard he'd Try --->---------
He conld not work his gatling gun.
For never yet has he beheld
That very many muzzled gun;
Nor yet has seen its power to quell
Nor heard it clatter as it run.
There ignorance again he shows
In making challenge for this duel;
We have the right our arms to choose
He's very dumb or else he's cruel.
We think popgun set with wads
And air that well has been distilled
Would match his valor by great odds
And give due work for mind so skilled.
Yes, brother, you're II yet
And one that's hard to beat,
And if it's fight you want, you bet,
Wen be right there your nibs to meet.
And truth will be our own good sword
And Time, old Father Time, our second
And sure we'd conquer on that sward
We will, you bet; so we've reckoned.
But here Wen stop for want of space
For fear the editor will kick,
But count on us to be in place
For with our hog we're sure to stick.
