THE "NEW" WORLD.

["Direct Action," which was regarded as a novelty suitable for an age of reconstruction, has now, by the good sense of the Trades Union Congress, been relegated to its proper place in the old and discredited order of things.]

In these, the young Millennium's years,

Whereof they loudly boomed the birth,

Promising by the lips of seers

New Heavens and a brand-new Earth,

We find the advertised attraction

In point of novelty is small,

And argument by force of action

Would seem the oldest wheeze of all.
