i ii) T CffliM it fe ll fit S*- mm 1 IS TO THE PATRONS OF THE AMERICAN mms. Patrons and Friends, again Vis mine to say, I wish you ail a happy New Year's Oat; And oh, what pleasure could this wish impart Joy to each breast, would fill the printer's heart— Would that it might bo realized by all, The rich, the poor among you, great and small. How much ’lwould cheer him in his humble task,— And lend his labour o'en a smiling mask. But well ho knows that it cannot be so. That sorrow should forsake this world of wo; E'en on a Now Year's day her form she tears, And bathes the cheek of wretchcdness wilh tears; E’en on (his day when pleasure should abound, We hoar (ho wail of grief,.unwelcome sound. Death's angel in his passage o’er the land, Has laid on infancy his icy hand, Has snatched the wife, from the fond husband's side. And made him mourn a well beloved bride; . Has borne the husband from the wife's embrace On whoso pale brow a broken heart we trace; Has quenched the spark that warmed the aged breast, And sent his weary spirit homo to rest; Nor docs the insatiate monster spare youth's bloom, It falls a blasted rose,'into the tomb. But, from this sad picture we'll (urn our eyes away, And hope the Tyrant Death his. hand will slsy; - May those who arc spared, give thanks to God above, For all His mercies and HU endless love. Tho good Old Year, its fleeting course Just run. With plenty blessed our farmers, everyone; And barns well fill'd with corn and wheat, and hay Provide tho farmer 'gainst a rainy day. And turkeys, too, and ducks, and geese, and ohiokcos. So plenty are—the printers get “good pickings." About this time, twelve months or more ago. Appear'd in Congress, a mighty bugaboo; ; Which threaten’d with his meddling tongue and blacken’d pace* To pul an end lo out beloved race. His name Disunion, a faction generation} Who raised a fuss about the color’d papulation. Ho throaten’d South, to steal away their blacks Ano gave the North, some thundering heavy whacks* The House and Senate quailed beneath his eye, Until, to break the Union ho essay'd lo try. Then rose the spirit of the “Old Thirteen, u With wisdom link'd lo scan the scene. Wo are all brothers hero, a love link'd babd, In Union bound, by God's own hand,- - Why lei Disunion, traitor to our cause, At once o’erlhrow.our country and our laws?” Thus spake the sage, & champions rose on ov’ry side, Attack'd Disunion, end with wounds severe bo died. Internal peace once more assorts her sway, Which Heaven grant may end with the fast day. Wo want good men to work our ship of State Like Cass, “our own BuchaHan" at any tale. And let’s have Biaixa, 100, the Governor shall he bo, Join ov’ry one, and vote for him, and this thing you . shall see— Our noble President, who yielded to no mortal foe, Has rendered up his life in deathly throe . . Hts conqueror Death no mortal band can stay, And small and great mast yield before his sway* Wo hope the Now Year '5l will prove, A happy year of blessings from above, . And all our Patrons In our. annual round, With joyful hearts and open hands bo found. The winter winds blow bleak and cold Hard freezing earth and sea, And now the poor your care bespeak^ Now need your charity* Kindness dear friends now extended, Shall be repaid by those befriended. For Holy Scriptures say, you know, Our charities bestow'd below, # Repaid by Heaven shall bo. . . Patrons, Farewell.* ond raoy IhoNew Yeat’srecord, With your good deeds & high resolves be checker'd. And as down life’s winding path wo go, May wo all better* as wo older grow, ' Proy don’t forget when Ibis our sheet’s read o’ot The one who leaves tiio paper at your door!
