THE NEW AMERICAN.

America! Inspiring theme!
Immortal goddess crowned
With jewels brought from every
stream,
Thee sings the world around.
Gainst foreign foe thy sturdy sons
Have never known defeat;
And North and South, behold their
guns
Stacked at the Nations feet!
The eldest, born at Bunker Hill,
With flowing locks of gray
Stood stern beside the youth Of will
AT Santiago bay.
Fourth of July" out DER the main
The Union liners roared,
"For liberty make way" again
The song to heaven scared.
Swift onward to the farthest shore
The grateful message ran,
While all the world bowed low before
The true American.
81 fight to free my brother brave"
Said Washington, "And l,
To free my brother who is slave"
Was LincOln's lofties cry.
But loftier still from Cuban coast
The blessed challenge rose:
"We fight that strangers may be free,
All tyrants are our foes"
And onward still to every cline,
Where er a river runs
That oars may sweep in martial time,
Shall go our men and guns.
While over them shall break and float
The banner of the free,
Till all the sons of earth shall vote
1t full supremacy.
Then shall the heaven-born symbol
hold
No hint OF tear or sigh,
But only Gods great promise told
To man from Sinai.

TOPSY.

We will call him Col. Will
liam because that is not his
name. A few days since, he
called on three young ladies'.
For a few moments he was left
to himself on the porch. A
cat rifle was there as well as he.
He saw it and at the same time
spied a long tapering pairo Top
sy's hanging on the side line
and he didn't do a thing but
shoot seven holes in them. The
next day the ladies were in the
city and went to a dry goods
house and bought one pair of
the best and had them charged
to him. Monday when in the
store and many ladies were
present the bill was presented
to him and as soon as he could
quit blushiug be settled it. But
the next question is where were
the footsy wootsys that belonged
in the hose.

GIVE CREDIT.

Some country papers fitch
large quantities of news matter
and palm it off on their subscri-

scribers read more than one
paper and recognize the deal
aud most editors notice those
things and the guilty ones drop
to zero in their estimation
