And now lies buried with the mighty dead. Imposed by custom —as in justice duo— , The Carrier pays his annual call to you; And duty binds him once more to appear, To wish his patrons many a happy yenW: While he attempts the pleasurable tasks, He to his swelling theme attention asks. He sings not war—devastor of our fields — Which mars the bounty Heaven so freely yields: Nor civil broils; nor dire intestine strife— The deep perdition of a social life; — Hut peace and plenty—potent and supreme— With freedom’s cause, shall be our present theme. And may tke year, that just lias fled impart The glowing praises of a grateful heart To all who do the notes of praise employ, To cheer 1 them onward in their lives with joy. But still I stop, to think of years that’s fled, And wake the praises of the-migbty dead. Who with their arts do make our joys abound, Adorn our dwellings, and improve our ground ; W’ho, through all time whiche’er has gone before With fifty-nine, which are to us no more; — When we reflect that all this numerous train Augment our comforts, and increase our gain; And all the labor of six thousand years Around young Sixty at his birth appears, Each with his own discovery, art and grace. To enrich our minds and make our wealth in- crease ; And as we compass earth, and air, antCseas, We tame the lightning and control the breeze ; And at the end of hear six thousand years, Our comfort doubles ds our w"ant appears— Since that morn which did first rejoice to see Young Time spring forth from vast Eternity, When Earth was new, and Sea and Earth obeyed Him who with joy his mighty works surveyed, Who man supplied with Holy Angel’s food, Who formed him first, and then pronounced him good; No land of ours could ever boast ofbliss, With works profound, and privilege like this— Each with bis own discovery, art and grace Enrich our minds, and make our wealth in- crease ; So that the fruits and arts of all the world Into our seaports annually arc hurled ; Our home improvements are the world’s sur- pnse^ As ’bovo them all in majesty wo rise. ’Twas freedom's boon, which God to man has given To brighten Earth, and be a typo of Heaven— And ever free, nor feel the hard control Of haughty Kings, while time and tides do roll; But should the world decree that wo should fall, These States, united, may defy them all. Compare with this the world in early days— When mail' first learned to stray from Virtue’s ways, And soon was spread the blighting curse of Sin— When suffering hard with guilt did first begin — When hoary Winter, with her frosts and snows, j And burning suns on naked men arose— Naught but ap apron Art could then supply. How sad a world!—how dreary then to live! Till Art supplied what Nature could not give; But, having given Columbia, does arise, Above the tears which once bedimmed her eyes ; And now no groan disturbs her tranquil breast, But being free, by Freedom will be blest I Around proud Home, which once controlled the world, What dreadful devastation now is hurled! Groaning beneath the yoke of tyrant power, There’s none to save her in this trying hour— No more her sons, with patriot vengeance warm, Repel the fury of the rushing stortn — No Brutus strikes for freedom ; and there’s now No Cincinnatus at his humble plough*— Disgrace and ruin blast her fruitful shore! Ah, no! Italian greatness is no more— Her glories to the Frenchman sec her trust, Who lays them low as infamy and dust!— In .fiery letters, branded deep with shame, Eternal stigma on her once proud name! My Country! Let then patriots look to thee, Whose heroes willed it that you should be free, Who freed you once of every foreign yoke, And every chain and every fetter broke. Until the fairest midst the fair you stand. The fear of tyrants—freest of all lands— Should foreign tyranny your soil invade, It then would feel the fury of your blade. See Mexico,' who yheds >the -smoking flood, ■ And bathes her sword in .guiltless brother’s blood— She .once shone brightly oh the page of fame, ;< But now li° s wallowingin her gudty shame; ‘, For “order/ Heaven’s first law,” she does de> . Bpisei :V Whilst every faction Against faction rise;—- : Her influence now in infamy lias fled. And marmot glory in her breast lief dead; ;Eor which fair fame inspires, . ■ Within her factions, bosom soon expires. If Bbe’ll be blessed, Colnmbia must her bless, , And decorate herwitli afreemanVdress ■ Of stripe* and tidr?, and join her to oeyt'diorei: I Thus, end her strife, and bid bet sin.no more. Then may Coiombjin’e iVecdom ever shine, TiP[ Nbjtbns prise her blessings so beniga— . . UntUall Europe leave : ,;-j ind‘sory laff : ; -r Our stars of honor, twinkling o’er their head, Shall, like the son's meridian. aplendcuf^hcd; And like that light which once o!er chaoahurTd, Shall raise majestic, many & new-born world. Add now fair froedom’e blessings to maintain, Long may our Country joined in|. one - remain ; In times of trial, let each echoing breath Be “Give us Liberty, or give us Death!” And let the zeal, which made free, Preserve her even as she ought to be. Forgetting every feeling but our love, (Which sweetens earth, and lifts our souls - above,) Come join in chorus with me in my song.;— (Twill ease your cares, and;make your joys prolong,) And let your kindnett now repajjr; my tasks— • Give what you please— (is all the-Carrier atke! THE CARRIER. Jleled ||Wlai|g. Selling tbe Lawyers. On Sunday night last, a stray “ Billy Goat,” who had long beert a'sourco of an noyance to the policy, was picked up by one of the officers of the Sixth Precinct, and conveyed to tho Station-House j where he was locked up in a cell like'any other vagabond. On Monday morning the offi cer thought they would make a little fun out of “Billy’s” capture!. .So they scut word to a noted criminal lawyer at thq Tombs that a client of his, named William Goetz, had been arrested and was then confined in a cell in the Sixth Precinct Station-House. Seizing his hat and cane, the lawyer rushed to the rescue of his un fortunate client, resolved,; If possible, to get him bailed out. On;applying to the Scrgeaht in charge, the following dialogue ensued : Counsel for William Goetz —“Sergeant, I would dike to see one of your'prisoners a few moments.” Sergeant (up to the joke)—“What is his name, sir ?” ‘ Counsel—“ William Gde'tz.” Sergeant—“Ah fyes. Hard case—very bad character. l)o you kriqw him.” Counsel—“ Know him! ■ :Yes, indeed I do, and can. assure you that you are. entire ly mistaken in regard to hia character. I have known him for fifteen years, and ean vouch for hi* respectability. Why, he was once a member of thq Common Coun cil. Sergeant—“ Here, Jim; show the gen tleman to the cell of Mr. Goetz.” Exit counsel down stairs to the cells. Arriving at No. 4, he throws open the door, and calls “Mr. Goetz! Mr. Goetz ! “Billy,” being tired of confinement, and seeing a chance of escape; with a joyful and prolonged rushes-toward the door, and'nuddenly makes Ids exit between the counsellor’s legs, leaving that astonish ed and slightly mortified individual to rue fully reflect, as he sits on the floor of the cell, upon the ludicrous plight into which he has fallen. “Mr. Goetz*’ cuts up sun dry pranks in and about the premises, in commemoration of his escape, while his counsel, recovering his perpendicularity, immediately takes to hi* heels, and shows the laughing policeman a strait coat tail as ho disappears around the corner. Of course, the joke is considered too good to stop at this point, and the, aggravated counsellor must have his‘ revenge,, so he sends another lawyer on the samp errand, who is likewise sold,.and he takes his re venge on a third.
