LOGIC.
BY DEAN COLLINS.
Loclclan Georare. from dav to dav.
With earnest thought and burning
woras,
Casts salt in handfuls at the tails
Of the Republican dicky-birds.
They all attend with deep respect.
And say: "Those views may be cor
rect;" But still the salt so thickly thrown
Just hits them on the funny-bone. ,
He demonstrates, triumphantly.
Republicans are cruelly bound
To follow close at Party's heel,
' As humble as the cringing hound;
"But be emancipated, free.
And cast your next good vote for me ;
Thus will you vindioate the right,
(And bring the Senate into sight.)"
"O, turn a new leaf over, boys,
And, independant now, at last,
From paltry Party's galling chains
' That firmly bound you la the past
Prove to the world that you are free,
By casting your next vote for me ;
Thus will the people get their will,
(And I will be In office still.)"
" Tis true, you've seen no Democrats
Lined up to vote for Cake of late,
But they've been free so long, you
know,
They do not need to demonstrate ;
While you, just loosed from Party's
band,
Must give some proof of where you
stand,
To show the world that you are free,
(Also, to land a job for me.)" .
"The toga of the Senator,
Or so, in sooth, it seems to me,
Is not a partisan affair
That is, not like it used to be,
Before I cast my longing eyes
Upon that mantle as a prize,
(And thought 1 didn't have a show
To get the old thing, anyhow.)"
Thus as election day draws nigh
jjogician ueorge, witn wily woras,
Is throwing salt, in handfuls big,
To catch the festive dicky-birds ;
And calling in endearing notes,
Because, in sooth, he needs the votes ;
Yet, all the salt, so wildly thrown.
Just seems to hit their funny-bone.
