THE DEAD DEMOCRAT.
They gave him for t'ne Empire's sike A feast with fi<ie eclat; The 7 li'tle knew i« w-ta the wake Of D:ck of Kuwira. What wreath should crown the ftstive | glass I For him foresworn, foregone ? j Rue for remembruu..';, an i also Rue for oblivion. And has it come at last to that, And ends his record thus ? A d. ad soul buried <le r p io fat A huge tat'copkaguo, Thaw irs- thing possible for man, Though be may seeto to thrive ; It is to spoil his Maker's plan— Be dead—and look alive. This was the man by fortune picked To hold a splendid sway Alnaschar S-ddon, who has kicked His golden eggs away. De Mm'tuti! He is no more, And li't it rest ttt that And throw a cloul of sori ow o'er The old Dead Democrat. —" Bulletin "
