MORE FREE THAN WELCOME-A PROSPECTIVE FIX.
Nigger. “ Now den, Massa Jonathan, what you goin’ to do wid dis Child ? Eh ? ”
ABE’S LAST CARD; OR, ROUGE-ET-NOIR.
Bfag’s our game: and awful losers
We’ve been on the Red.
Under and above the table,
Awfully we’ve bled.
Ne’er a stake have we adventured,
But we ’ve lost it still,
Erom Bull’s Run and mad Manassas,
Down to Sharps burg Hill.
When luck’s desperate, desperate venture
Still may bring it back:
So I’ll chance it—neck or nothing—
r Here I lead THE BLACK !
If I win, the South must pay for’t,
Pay in fire and gore:
If I lose, I’m ne’er a dollar
Worse off than before.
Erom the Slaves of Southern rebels
Thus I strike the chain :
But the slaves of loyal owners
Still shall slaves remain.
If their owners like to wop ’em.
They to wop are masters ;
Or if they prefer to swop ’em,
Here are our shin-plasters !
There ! H this here Proclamation
Does its holy work,
Cotton or Confederation
It had oughter burk :
Back to Union, and you’re welcome
Each to wop his nigger :
If not, at White let slip darky—
Guess I call that vigour!
JUST THE BAITH BOR BRANCE.
It is too commonly asserted that our lively neighbours, the Breneh,
Have no religion. If this assertion were true, their want of a faith
•would now be in the way of gettiug very soon supplied. According to i
the Paris Correspondent of a contemporary -
“ A prophet from Utah, explaining to the Parisians the mysteries of Mormonism,
has appeared in this novelty-loving metropolis. Fearing that the police would not
allow the public dissemination of the marvellous doctrines of his sect, he has com-
mitted to the press a volume which seems to promise to have an extraordinary
circulation, if its contents are correctly stated. M. Bertrand, the missionary in
question, is a Frenchman, and Brigham Young has dispatched him from the Great
Salt Lake to preach the doctrine of the last days of the saints, and to prove that
polygamy and public property ought to supersede the old European doctrine of a
single wife, and every man keeping for himself what his honest industry can
accumulate.”
If the French, drama is a mirror which reflects French Society, it is
not too much to say that Mormonism is just the religion that the people
of France, as many of them as have none, might be expected to adopt.
They have been quite prepared to receive it by the preaching of the
“Emancipation of the Elesli;” a doctrine which has become very
popular. M. BDimiAND will doubtless make many converts to the
creed of Joe Smith, and would make more if the Ultramontane priests
were, allowed to roast him ; for the dripping of heretics is the prolific
principle of heresy.
There is one expression in the paragraph above-quoted, which we are
anxious to rectify. Polygamy is placed in antithesis to “ the old
European doctrine of a single wife.” We must be allowed to remark
that the old doctrine of Europe in general is that of a married wile, if
the doctrine of a single wife prevails any where it must be in Ireland.
In making this observation, we trust we shall not be deemed hyper-
critical.
Forgiveness of Injuries.
So an amnesty is granted to Gakibaldi. Yery good. In England,
when we have trodden on the toe of a great man, we beg his pardon.
In Italy you pardon Him when \ou have shot him in the ankle.
