S1'TN(i!

We were called upon, IN Frederick a
few days ago to buy book of poems
written by gentleman in a neighboring
town, and as it is never good taste to re-
fuse poems, (of any kind we INDUCED,
that is, put our name down for copy,
and in due course the genial gentleman
who acted as the salesman delivered the
book and we produced the coin. The
salesman departed and we placed the
volume of poems among many others. in
tending at some leisure time to pe,use.
A few hours after the completion Of our
contract, we were accosted by friend
who desired information from US, if we
had purchased book of poems. Our re-
ply was in the affirmative, and he asked
if we had read page 49," and our reply
was "no, not yet" Naturally, our curl
osity was aroused, and we proceeded at
once to see what page So contained
that could be of more Importance than
the balance of the book.
This friend, knowing that our inc!ina-
tons, not to say absolute convictions,
were Democratic, and bid us read the
poem, as it was about the Democrats.
We did and each verse hurt our feelings
more and more. For instance, the first
verse said they were funny brats'
think of it! and the second Verse alluded
to their not being Saints" even tho
"whitewashed " The third verse insin-
yates that they had plots" to be hidden,
as we'll as "blots;" while the fourth verse
wanted them "incased" in "Mother
Earth" and finally he winds up his rhyme
in the fifth verse, after having buried
them, by adding insult to injury, in say
ing "then peace will reign
and country brave will never know dis
honor.
For better understanding we give the
verses as they occur.
The Democrats.
The Democrats are funny brats,
Some animals are grander;
I'll have no bride from such tribe,
They fairly rouse my dander.
A touch of paint may make a saint,
But no whitewash can save them;
Might daily rub, and yearly scrub,
And then you'd have to fay them.
They hide their plots, and all their blots,
Look we'll for an election;
But soon they show, in darkest glow,
A dismal, sad inspection.
Go weave their shroud; far from the crowd
Let Mother Earth incase them;
Do thou forget the babbling set,
Let silence long embrace them.
Then peace will reign, and not stain,
Will fall upon our honor;
Our flag will wave, our country brave,
Will never know dishOnor.
N. B. No. /. The author of the poem
(s) is Rev. Kenneth M. Craig, Emmits-
burg, Nd.
N. B. No. 2. We suspect from that
poem that he "ain't no Democrat.
N. B. No. 3. The man who sold us
that book left town on the first train af-
ter he delivered it.
