THE RETIRING MAN.

Oswald Curtis, it's time you came down from your perch. We've had quite sufficient of you. You opposed separation and misspent our cash, So don't think we're spooney on you. You'll be left in the luroh by your staunchest of fiiends. If you don't take the hint, you'll be lost ; Be quick, pack your traps up, you'll ne'er be returned, We've a far better man for the post. You know very well to be ousted you're doomed, There's no two opinions 'bout that. Slope off while there's time, and chuck up the cards, Or else I shall think you're a flat. For sure there are two candidates besides you, The Ship Chandler's one ; and the other Is an old Chicken Butcher, who means to pluck you, For he says it's high time we'd another. It's useless to try e'er again to get in, For the Coast will no longer endure What it has done beneath your political sway. To our interests we'll find & man truer. Separation alone will be down on your knob, For they'll never forgive you the deed Which shelved the Petition sine die in the House, Where they little imagine our need. We're tired of delays, and we now want some help, So once more retire to your trade, And think while you're playing your huckstering game, What a foolish mistake you have made. SKrAEATION. '
