THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Here It is, the Fourth" agin!
Sakes alive, how time does spin!
Don't seem like it's sixty year
Since l first begun to hear
All the loud, tarnation noise
We stirred up when we was boys,
All of us a-wishin' powder
Was lots cheaper and lots louderl
Recollect with what delight
Used to be up half the night
Helpin fire the anvil or
Maxim other sounds of war?
Used to wish the earth was drilled
Out inside and powder-flled,
And that l could somehow just
Touch her off and hear her bust!
Weren't no cannon-crackers then,
Kind o. wish there had a-been-
Then they would "a sounded sweet;
Now they lift me off my feet.
I've begun to think that noise
Was invented just for boys.
Fourth O. July don't seem to me
IT all like what 1t used TO be.
Just as patriotic, still
Somehow I don't catch the thrill
OF the loud, tumultuous joy
Like I used to when boy.
Nothin' dom then but I
Had a finger in the pie:
But that finger, as you see,
Got blowed off eventually.

Sane Fourth Desired,

By slow degrees We are getting
away from the belligerent spirit en-
hndled during cur independence strug-

accustomed 10 burn tons and tons of
gunpowder on every glorious anniver,

selves free and independent of King
George and his tyrannical rule and at
every repetition of our furious joy we
blew OF fingers, hands, noses and ears
with a patriotic disregard of conse.

formed our Fourth, but We are reform.

Il have said, gentlemen, that our

istic, peculiar and altogether our own.
Nothing like it existed in former times
nor was known in the most enlight-

men, connected with our daily opin-

vanced exactly the opposite theory.

ascribed to the German language the
