A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

NEWSBOY'S ADDRESS

TO THE PATJIONS OF THE

Saturday Evening Mail.

JANUARY 1,1S75.

A CAUTION.

TfeiH morning, dear friends, when you're out making merry, Don't linger too long with your friends, Tom nnd Jerry And ir you don't want to In left In the fog, J)on't dip in too often—that bowl of eggnogg— For 'tis a lnmehtable holiday trouble, That long before night we are apt to see double.

Old VI is now no more, But "75 is here And what it has for us in store,

In due Utne.will appear.

Touch light, aud be wary to-day and to'ilRht, it And see that you start on the New ear all right. 1IE CARRIKit's rEKSONAI-

This is the Carrier's festal day, The day he sells bin rhymes— So, once a year he'll have hl way

And charge upon your dimes.

Now, if his rhyme is not first-rate, Ti* passable, at least: The author claims not to be great,

But craves his annual feast.

His puree is like a blasted leaf, Of substance all bereft Which tills his little heart with grief-

There's not a nlckle left. Let every one of moderate wealth, His currency shell out. And 1 will gaily drink the health

Of each one on the route. How I have faced the driving snow, Near froze full many a time. The readers of TIIE MAIL well know.

Since last they read my rhyme.

The fiercest ray from summer's sun The Carrier Bet at naught, His weekly rouuds were promptly made—

To you TUB MAIL he brought.

This short prelude you must excuse: or self and number one, And dok't condemn my fledgeling muse,

Until my rhyme is done.

THE CARRIER'S DREAM.

Just as the old vear moaned its latest wail, Aud sad, weird sounds were murmuring on the galu— Tho Carrier had a soothing, pleasant dream, (Jood luck was wafting filiu adown life's stream: A lady hailed him as he passed along And ill us she praised the

'lYmpua/itffU, grim and surly Time was on the wing quite earlyLong 'ere Adam rose or fell, Hut, now long, no one can tell. Seventy-four, its woes and tears, Kxpectations. doubts and fears, Have found the tomb of other years.

The staid old Town Clock told the hour, Long, loud and clear It spake The vear was dead, there was no power

The flight of Time to break. Yet, patrons, we are spared—we're here, To see another happy, bright New Year: And 'twould be brighter had we sot to mourn The passage of dear friends to that sad bourne, Which mortals contemplate with trembling fear. And where we all mast finally appear. But, why repine—let sorrow take a flight With the departed year that left last night. Ijeteverv city home resound with mirth— I jet cheerful fires blaze on every hearth, Invonorof this glorious New oars birth. ours to live, 'tis ours to enjoy, w. iull, each blessing, and without allov IjCt withered friendship be revived I,et pleasure rule, and happiness he I,et buoyant youth, and sires old au_ .loin the gay throng and drive "dull care

Tis ours to live, 'tis ours to enjoy, 11, each blessing, and with— lthered friendship be pleasure rule, and hanpl. Iet buoyant youth, and sires old and gray.

Life* tfTfrut short, why should It not be

Why*should not neighbors all their neigh

At home, in banquet hall, or busy street? Huuwhen In cosv comfort, round your fires, The family gathers—children, mothers,

All'snug, and fortified 'gainst frost and snow, Remember, there are homes of pain ana woe— Perhaps where age and want in misery, dwell, Where aching hearts with grief and sorrow swell: To such extend the help you can afford— For this, you know, Is lending to tho Lord And would It not be pleasant, did we know That Heaven to us a few such debtsdldowe. Hoping that you tnay spend tho day In pleasure. We'll tune mr lyre to another measure, And speak of various matters of the town, All worthy, and which should bo written down.

THE BURGLARS.

Oh, d*ar, how we dread tjiom, the nocturnal thieves Who plan wicked robbery under onr eaves Who prowl 'round our houses when all are asleep, In search of an aperture through which to creep. UtilqultoM scoundrels, they come and they tfl), But Just where to And thetri policemen don't know. A fancy they've taken, It seems, to this

LlkTa wolf on the fold the vile wretches come down On our greenbacks, our watches, our fine

Sunday clothes,

But Just how they do It, there nobody knows. .. We know that our money and raiment Dave flown: We feel very sad, for there's nothing our

When we labor we think that its not for ourselves. But all for the robbers who clean off onr shelves. A fee simple title to land Is the best— Thry leave ns our town lots, but take all the rot, We think how we'd "lam" them, and slash them around. If they in our dwellings eould only be found But, supposing a sneak-thief, with pistol In band. Should oorao to your bed-side and make a demand Involving your wallet aud everything In It. Hay, what wauld you answer, how would you begin It That you would be "mum" there is scarcely a doubt, And all that you could do, would be to "shell out." Ah, dear, these are terrible times, when, from fright, With ono eye wide open we don all the

Jurt tfilnk of the shaking, the quaking, and fenr. When the "good man's" away and the burglars are near How the istrew, and Bridget, with pokers well a '*d, Stand sentry quite boldly, though sadly alarmed.

But they are as safe as a bug In a rug, In their nice hiding places, all quiet aud snug: Of course, the policemen dont know where they stay, ... In quiet retirement, all through the day. Some Argus-eyed fellow might bring them to grief, Aud rid this fair city of burglar and thief, la the meantime, be watchful, and wary, and sly, Look well to your powder, and see that it

And then, when a Light prowler dares to come nigh, Be sure that you aim well before you let fly."

BEER. BAXTER AND POLITICS Astonishing, what cunning, scaly tricks Have recently turned up in politicsRepublicans, defeated and forlorn, For saluries and "sicli like" sadly mourn. They didn't stand the shadow of a show, They could not bear the power of tho blow With which rhecomblnation laid them low. Such a defeat, before. I never knew— It bents Bull Run, wclipses Waterloo: The '•Unterifled" are masters of the field—. Only one man (Brave blunter) did not yield He, gallant soluier, faced the motley host Weathered tho storm, and yet retains his post, And Doctor Rice, the eloquent logician, The wild, hair-brained, political physician, Merelv retains his usual home position. It may be right, but yel 'tis very queer That politics is run by lager beer: Beer was the Issue on election day. And that inspiring beverage held full sway. Countless platoons of stumpy, iron-bound kegs, Sustained the Teutons all day on their pegs, And placed the Loco Focos on their legs. Some men love principle, and some love drink Some woishlp appetite, while others think, These two extremes a poll-box battle fought: In which "John Barleycorn" defeated

Thought.

Carrier's New ear

song: ,, Well, liiat Is very pretty, every word is true, Hut I did not expect such rhyme from you: TUB MAIL, and arrler both, are very good— llwre, on this route, these facts are understood ,, Uke tho diurnal light, they never fail, 'Tis well, we could not do without The Mall. And, as to recompense—this annual lay, I think is worthy of quite libernl pay— A dime, what do you say to that, my rosy yoiilti I'd give a quarter, but to tell tiio truth, My purse is very small, aud rather lank, And not one farthing have I in the bank. I'm growing old and wrinkled, as you see— My years Increase, not so my currency. (Jo, little rambler—luck be your's to-day Your rhyming venture certainly should pay: (Jo, literary merchant of the street, And make a sale to every one you meet.

GREETING TO PATRONS.

The Thinkers failed from scarcity of votes, Because their Teuton allies "turned their coats." In fact, the Germans, in a body,"squealed,' And swore the Baxter law must be repealed. Forseoth, that statute took away the right To guzzle at the tippling house all night! Oh, sacred right, inestimable boon— To tarry long and late at the saloon! But there are remedies beside repeal. This ulccr on the statute book to lieal: At nine o'clock let drouthy drinkers rally, Desert the street and gather In the alley— They'll find an entrance can be made with ease: Insert the landlord's secret back-door keys And lo! a breach is mad©—you gain your point, And Baxter's Curfew law Is out of Joint. Then Hops is President, and Beer is KingNothing to do all night but drink and sing, And in the morning, on "repentance stool," Indulge remorse, and vote yourself a fool.

CITY COUNCIL.

The Roman Senate was a power once, In that grand body not a single dunce But no sanhedrim ever known on earth, For legislative wisdom and true worth, Could ever boast administrative men So wise as our immortal, peerless ten, Who every fortnight work in Freedom's cause, Injecting wisdom into city laws. Compared to them Lycurgus was a fool, Solon a blockhead in the legal school Blackstone an amateur in legal lore, A pettifogger only—nothing more. There Is no "knowledge, human or divine, That thought can reach or science can define," In which our City Council is deficient Thev know It all, and that lsqulte sufficient. They know the lex non scripta all by heart, Also lex scripta,—each and every part, Statutes, decisions, nxioras, they know— With ease through every legal mist they go. The knottiest questions iji the "books"they spurn In fact, there is no labyrinthian turn, However dark and gloomy be the way, That's not as plain to them sis open day. Each one of them can frame a resolution They also understand the constitution. Thc'dullest members in the constellation Are ornaments—tin?brightest in the nation: When work is tedious, an«l the hours run slow, When glowing eloquence has ceased to flow, Some -member, with a slow and solemn grace, Erects himself in his accustomed place: While in liiseye the flres of genius burn. He slowly says—"I move that we adjourn.' Tis passing strange, and yet they have a notion It takes a Webster brain to putthis motion And some of them have earned their reputation On this one-idea consideration. May this unrivaled Council always lastEclipsing every Council of the past:

Its breaking up would be a dreadful pity How oould we manage lighting up the cit

ty?

It's splendid now, the brilliant streets look gay— The thief and burglar thread their devious way, In quiet safety till the break of day. The honest citizen, with dread and foar, Quakes as the stealthy footsteps echo near. He pays his taxes, pays for some protection, Yet meets the foot-pad bold in each direc

The City Fathers sleep, and sweetly dreamNot thinking how the streets with cutthroats teem. Darkness envelops all—there Is no light, Except when Luna shines tho entire night. Is this Economy—then what iB life? A bauble for the midnight prowler's knife? The murdercrsshoot their victims,and their flight Is favored by the darkness of the night: You cannot recognise them as they pass— Tho City Council has shot ofTthe gas. The people pav for light, but no such boon Is their's at night, except the silver moon What can't be cured, they say must be endured But there's a remedy, now rest assured— Around the polls let's rally in our might, And vote for no man who's opposed to light.

SOME IMPROVEMENT.

But lately, 'twas a most propitious night, The Solon* "ventured boldly on the light—" Voted that street lamps burn till six A. M., Now, that was splendid, was it not, for them And now the cltlxen. however late. Can readily distinguish his own gate. Twas a good act, and worthy commendation, Entitling them to much considerationBright lamps look cheerful In a brilliant row— The light may be ephemeral and so, In further praisethlsrhyme has no remark, Becausc they yet may leavo us In the dark.

HARD TIMES.

There's no greenbacks 'round us falling, Change Is very scarce. Indeed All tho people wildly calling

For the dimes they sadly need. Business now is d«»HK and slowiy Comes the turn of Fortune's wheel And 'Us plain that most severely,

Lack or I mn the people feel.

Ah dear, such dreary, weary times Twill set us wild, this scarcity of dimesWhy don't our Congressmen put something through— That people all may have some work todot They have nil easy time and pleasant cheer It hurts them not that everything Isdear KlR P»}% flue clothes, the best of drink, Of course, for common people tliey cant think. Yet, maybe, they are not to blame at all. Because our greenback volume Is so small, Tis said our members did their very best In working for the Interests of the West, But that Ulysses, with a ruthless hand. Not carina for the welfare of the land, Vetoed a Dili that would have brought relief And brushed away the nation's woes and grief. However, one thing very well we know, Buslnem is dull, and moves bnt very slow And pocket-books are lean, and lank, and

Work has stepped out, and hunger has

Such scarcely ever knew, Yon can't aSbnl to smoke, or drink, or chow, And as for oysters—either «tewed or fried— Of all tln.*e luxuries we ar« denied. Yet, therete no help,the money is not here We'll fight onr weary way another yearCurtail our appetites—that we can do, And wear old clothes, because we can get new, ..

TERRE HAUTE FEET,

No so with ladles here, in Terre Haute, A place to which big shoes are never Drought: They wear the finest, smallesUef prunellas, For every one of thum are Clnderellas, And in neat fipot-gear circulate around, Like nymphs and naiads on enchanted ground. On Main street you may watch the maidans pass, But look In vain for a big-footed lass— On pleasant Sixth street, girls with little feet, In scores, at every hour, you may meet. In fact, tliey flit with such unequaled grace, With such a fairy, light, and queen-lllce

That^you would doubt their having feet at all, And yet you know they have, but they are small OH every avenue and every street Is heard the plt-a-pat of little feet— The music of their foot-falls is so sweet, You feel like kissing every girl you meet. No embryo lass, or maid of adolescence, Is plagued with corns or any such c.\cresconce Their dainty feet have no such things as bunions— Protruding like a mammoth ,bunch of onions But, with their dapper pedals, smooth and small, You cannothelp but love them, one and all.

ABOUT THE BIG SHOES.

Ha^py Belle of Lafayette, let me tell you

Wreaths immortal decorate the little Carrier's brow: IIow the people spotent flat suddenly went forth, And the huge, colossal brogans traveled to the north. We have lost them, yet our ladies have no cause to fret Just because the priceless jewels went to

Lafayette:

This the Carrier knew must happen, for he knew that here, Feet to fill such horrid brogans never could

Thej^arcfto be sent to Llngle— Llngle of the quill— Llngle says he will present them, and we know he will, To that Belle of sole unbounded, and of mammoth heel Oh, how happy, how exalted will that lady

Here's/tlie way the thing did happen: 'Twas upon a night, In a large and pleasant building filled with brilliant light: There was beauty in that building, gallantry was there, Shoes and gaiters there were many, but there was one pair Of such startling, rare dimensions as to make you stare In these brogans, on tho Wabash, any man could float, And some lady had to have them by the people's vote. Here's the vote as 'twas reported, truthful and correct, But it was a much vexed question whom tliey should elect Lottie Smith and Clara Thompson each got thirty-flve. Miss McGregor quickly followed with her forty-tivc Very lively was the voting, yet devoid of tricks— ..... Lizzie Peddle next came forward, with her seventy-six Hannah Read had near two hundred, still, she lost the shoes, Yet, this fair stout-hearted lady didn't get the blues. Balloting was nearly over, not so with the fun— Brilliant Nelia Hemenover made a splendid run Then she was declared the winner of those leather scows— Other ladies then smiled sweetly-Nelia "knit her brows." 'Twas no wonder that her pleasure was so

very small.

For the prize this pleasant lady had no use at all— Never feet so light and dapper tripp'd It at What, to do, the puzzled lady found it hard to tell, .... So she sent the ponderous present to the noted Be'le Of that pleasant Hoosier city where the the buuions swell. The whole affair was settled, in a trice That Prince of Dry Goods, Mr. W.

S. Ryce,

Provided those two pyramids of leatherImpervious to frost In coldest weather. So, now this pedal business sinks to rest^sa And Lafayette's proud Belle, supremely blest, ... Fondles her shoes in a wild, frantic way, And sings the "donar's" praises night and day.

WATERWORKS.

Now, sleep ye sound, the Fire King's dead, Now, nestle In your downy bed The aqueous fluid, under ground, Leaps forth with swift, untiring bound— And should fall conflagration, bright, Assail your dwellings iu the night, Keep cool and hurry on your clothes, .% Also bring out the rubber hose, Then point the nozzle at the flre, And keep the flames from rising higher: Soon you will hear tins ringing peals, Soon liear the engine's thundering wheels Then draw a breath of sweet relief— The burning roust, of course, lie brief Because there never was a flame That J»nes's System couldn't tamo And our Department never tiresNo, never falls in conquering flna. Our safety has increased ten-fold To what it was In days of old.
