"jIIIF ' j |g ß7v XINE PATRONS : Another year has passed away, The tide of time brooks no delay, We hail again the natal day, Of another new-born year. Now let me ask, for ask I will— W«iat have we done of good or ill, In all twelve months past? Let not your hearts cry peace be still, But stand up boldly, Jack and Gill, And tell out to the last. I could not sleep if I skotjld fail, To tell you here a little tale; Told by my grand'ma who was frail, Because she had grown old. She'd smooth' her cap and wipe her specks As though she would mankind perplex, 112 A trait with all the female sen,) And this is the tale she told. There was a rat sat by a hole, And he was black as any coal, His neck was thick, his tail was long, There never was a rat so strong ; That hole he guarded night and day, And drove all other rats away. This rat was big. the hole was small, So into it, he could not crawl; Vet he could see that down below, Coald hold like him a score or so; He starved until he got at last, .Quite through without his sticking fast. By dint of pulling down below, Of fifty smaller rats or so; And when quite thro' he puff d and blow'd A.nd very much importance showed ; He boasted this he boasted that, He was a highly favored rat; He had been born as small as they, jßut look at what he was to-day. Big rats outside he used up brown, He was a rat of high renown ; And he would use them up still more, By starving them outside the door ; jOr better, he'd enlarge the hole, And let them tumble in, by jole, And maybe in the fall they'd break Their ugly heads,or make them ache, And then, though they might not atone, Th«y would at least leave him alone ; But when the smaller rats perceived, That they by him were thus deceived ; ■They wagged their heads and answered nay. Now every rat must have his day, And you've had yours,you cowardly hack, '£hen all pitched on him in a crack; And cursed within their very soul, *l'he time they pulled him in their hole : They caught and bound the tricky elf, And laid him by upon a shelf. •Now this is the tale that grand'ma told, A tale that's worth its weight in gold ; Nor loses aught by growing old, Or being oft retold. It is the history of a rat, fac simile of man, The history of the human race, Since e'er the world began. But make the application close, And true as he loves brandy, In it you'll sec the histoiy of Our circle swinging Andy : Into our Nation's Capitol, Jle burrowed like a rat; Then tried to let the rebels in, Just like that o*her rat. He swung around the circle once, And done it like a rat; And the best thai can be said of him, He is a treach'rous rat. 'l'd like to sing a little song, About the things that were ; Just listen, 'twill not, take me long. Dear madum and dear sir We once had negro slavery, Our fathers bought and sold, And bartered of their flesh and blood, For silver and for gold. They ground the poor into the dust, JBeeause their skins were black, And more, because they were too proud to do their work themselves, in fji,ct they were aristocrats, regular Egyptians, who'd rather starve than work, and go they piled the burden on The poor dumb negro's back. But that, is neither here nor there, ' Dear madam and dear air; It is just one and only one, Of the many things that were. .•» We had a great rebellion occe, When Jeff and his vile crew, Pitched in, oq poor old Uncle Sam, And thought to put him through. They drew their blades and fired their guns, And down to battle ran ; lint Uncle Sam's brave boys in blue let slip some of their big guns upon them, and there never was a worse wipped set of men, Since first the world tegan. But that, is neither here nor there, Dear madam jiud dear sir ; It is just one and only one, Of the many things ihat were. The freneh once came to Mexico, And offered'very fair, To fashion castles after those, Which "nap" built in the air. - They built tVeui up to tumble down, And made a mix for "Max," But when they saw that Uncle Sam s,ill Hred his health, they > " •' < thought it was the best policy, consid criog all things To pack up and make tracks. But that, is neither here nor there, Dear madam and dear sir; It is but one and only one. Of the maay things that tfere. We had a Fenian army once, And brothy boys were they, They rushed like betrs on Canada, And ran like dogs away. They thought to drive the British The Queen's own men to slay, And build themselves and empire tip on what was left of she provinces; but after drinking all their whiskey, and getting badly frightened, they conclu* ded that—, The thing would Jiardly pay. But that, is neither here nor there, Dear madam and dear sir, It is but one, and only one. Of the many things that wpre.' We had a sect called Copperheads, Who licked the rebels' leet. And none can tell how many pecks Of Southern dirt they eat. They aided triytpr ß ' Q disguise, And Clymer was their prince, They had king Andy for their guide, but at the "last election the people let them know that their room was consid ered better than their company, so they all took passage for Salt liiver, and, be ing their historian, L can safely say,— I haven't seeg one sineo. But that, is neither here por there, Dear madam and dear sir, It is but one, and only one, i Of the many things that are. Now, since you've listened to my ditty, I think it would be quite a pity, If the good kind folks of Butler city, Would not listen to a brother— If he should think it worth his time, To spin for them another rhyme,— And since my last was so sublime, Please listen to another. I told you of the things th»t were, At least I told of some, For which we'll be no better off, A hundred years to come. Then let me sing of what is now, It more concerns our race, Jtau all .the great momentous things That just Once we had a Young America, Boots, breeches, hat and all, Right here in Butler who did drink Each day his cup of gall. They'd rowdy in the night time, They'd sleep away the day, They opened to Beeiiebub Their lips whene'er they prayed. But t&at, is neither here nor there, Dear madam and dear sir, It is but one, and only one, Of the many things that wtre. Now we have the sovereign power, To rule in Freedom's name, We've laid our hands upon the South, And will redeem the same. Tho' traitors growl and gnash their teeth, We'll make them understand, That none but truly loyal men, Can rule our loyal land. So here, and it is there, Dear madam and dear sir, For this is one of the things that are And net of the things that were. We have a class called frccdmen now, A sorry set tis true, . And the question in regard to them Is, what are we to do ? Shall we grant to them religious aid, And open for them schools ? I'll tell )'ou, all that answer nay, Are veritable fools. For they are here, and they are there, Dear madam and dear sir, And they are of the things thi.t are. And not of the things they were. We have a noted prisoner now, Confined in Fort Monroe, And what to do with him—l guess, Is what we do not know. Our slaughtered braves call for his blood, His friends for his parole, The people say he should be hung, But heaven help his soul. So it is here, and it is there, Dear madam and dear sir, For he is one of the things that aris, And not of the things that wtrc. I've told of present and of past, And I hope you will not stand aghast, If I should turn around at last, And tell you of the future, A thing that mighty few can do, Though often tried by many, But second sight is granted me, It it granted, is to any. The Southern States will all come back, In heaven's appointed time, And wfe will have a Union then, Immortcl and sublime ; Firm as the rock of adamant, As lastiug as the sea, We'll be amongst nations of the earth, The never ending free. The time will come wlieu Canada, Will link her fame with ours, And raise her voice in Washington, Unheeding kingly powers. No Fenian army then shall march To fright the border men, •For Uncle Sam will prove to them A foster father then. Mexico, that land of strife, Of taii, and bloo<i. and pain. Will seek for rest and peace beneath Sweet liberty's mild reiiin. Her free divisions then shall send, In freedom's holy cause, Their chosen men to Washington, To execute out lews. The CITIZEN, my friends, will live To cheer your future years, 'Twill comfort you thro' all your lives ID all your hopes and fears. But never get in debt to it, Is my advice to you, For tbat will prick your conscience when Its dolumns you review. A guilty conscience none need wish ; > A cfebt may sake you grin, But owing for your paper is The darkest kind of sin. itqnd me my dimes, and you and I, Will be at envy sever, And I will pray that yon may live Forever and forever. •' " THE CARRIER.

In the Mini moth mi North be,on diatricts it would lie simply tliecuttlng,sl perco*d,ers£Q per day. There is a large sa.i.igou this it«m.

It is not tha intention of the Company to work all ibla property at the present tune, but to hold it in resenq for future disposition, either to form a pai t of it other organizations, or to erect othei mills, u my l»« deemed expedient. A twi nty stamp mill near a well- lode will pay a Ii rg ■ dividend on the cap tai the fit St working year, and leave a reserved fund In the t easury, to he applied to the erection of another mill | 1 his Cumpmy intend to erect a first elasa mill near the Wlnnetmgo lode, a hich is four and one-hall feet wide,and is consideied one of the ricbe*t silver Ldgss * in .Nevada, and will afford an ample supply of are lor a twenty-stamp mill. Professar liiatchlf, who is a scientific, i jliable, ami very cautions gentleman, e«ys of this lode: " This if a strong well-defined vein, showing every indication of (Upth and permanence.. 77,e ers it a, great richness, and well dtffut'd throughout ths vein and all the ore mill pay for working from the very «sr ft/tt. This ii a very valuable mine, and can be. made t* pay from the beginning." A. Bl%tchi.y, Mining Engineer. It is more than doubtful if Professor Llatclily speaks in tlie*e terms of any other mine in Nevada. A twanly stamp mill can crush twenty tons per Jay ; but say thxt it crushes 15 tons per day, (choice speci mens from the Winnebago lode baa assayed $1132 per ton), it is a low eotinrds to say that it will give an •»- ci age yield of sl*o per ton, taken as it cot e fW»m the vein. Fifteen tons per day would yield s.j-4vo; the s«jf pensesof crushing in these districts will not axceedflSi per ton, or $450 for 15 tons, leaving a net profit of $llOO for a working day, or a monthly profit of over «MjM9 for one mill. This statement may a**m large, but it Is proven by the re/ults of other mills in districts le«s favorably I*, cated. We confidently believe there is no other iaveet ment will pay such large r- turns as silver property, when well locat*d,aud the mills properly ma nag at The managing director ie an experienced and pre. ical silver ore worker in all its -letails; he is in the prt eof life, of excellent habits, and indomitable energy ; h has l»een long and favorably known to our President, *ov .
