From The Daily News, March 17, 1882.


THE LAUREATE'S LAST LYRIC; OR, NORTHAMPTON' FREEMEN.

Come! pledge Northampton, friends, and then

A health to Freemen's every guest;

He best will serve the race of men

Who loves his country's freedom best!

May Freedom's reign for ever last,

With wider bounds from day to day;

He loves the present, not the past,
