_ BV DK. 6AXTKL SILSBEZ.
Vnrwaid, the Black Brigade? At «fem, boys, steady;
Chime for your liberty-tight for yoar life.
I, 11 ** No more a chattel, then—
Into the cattle, men— .
Prove to the world yon are worthy the strife.
Thev’re not your masters now. Steady, boys, steady,
FVht for a place 'mong the people of earth
“ Freemen’s stars cover you—
No lash is over you—
Earn anew right to the land of your birth.
See, they are wavering. Steady, boys, steady;
Strike for the Union—the guerdon ’s for you.
Strike! it is nearly done—
Freedom is dearly won—
Strike for your manhood, and strike for the true.
Shoulder to shoulder, there—steady, boys, steady ;
On to the carnage, through war’s leaden rain.
Not yours to falter there—
Though on death's altar there—
Forward, still forward, o’er dying and slain.
Close up your shattered ranks, steady boys, steady;
Comrades like autumn leaves may bo strewn.
Each volley thundering.
Treason’s hold sundering,
Close up and at them, the Hill is your own.
Fearlessly, fearlessly, once more boys, stcadv.
At ’em with steel now—ah, gallantly made.
O'er the foe streaming now,
High in air gleaming now,
Up with the stars of the Colored Brigade.
Well have ye earned the dear title of freeman,
Biood seals your loyalty—theie is the van,
Cause just and glorious,-
Thrice art victorious,
For country, for race, and tUe birthright of man.
Forward, the Black Brigade! steady mon. steady;
One in the race of the civilized bo.
No more a chattel now,
Up for life—battle now—
Prove to the world you are fit to be free. »
The conflict of power and labor is pending,
The freedom of millions, if black or If white. »
Now Is your hour then, *
Else In your power men,
Fight your own battles, and God with the right.

Theft, boots stolen.
As the steamboat Hudson was coming up from
Hilton Head last night, some thief opened a canvas bag,
and stole therefrom a pair of mooseskin boots, new,
and worth twenty dollars. As there is not another
pair like them nearer than the State of Maine, I shall bo
pretty likely to catch this sweet gentleman. I hereby
inform him that I will not pay him the first dtineto re
turn them, but that if I do catch him, I’ll bring him
before the Provost. Judge snd have him In the lock-up
quicker than he could pick his grandmother’s pocket
of her gold spectacles.

ALE.
Written wfyen times were dull, and Golden Ale want
ed a inarket—many year? ago.
What'* the world to a man without children and wife,
He may toll, he may strive, the whole longth of his
life,
Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits 'twill cheer,
Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature
near.
Let him drink Golden Alo, and soon wedded he’ll
he; |
Jfow his heart will expand when a babe's on hi* knee:
pet him povor lrufiibo till hi* spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for eve* be there.
The old maiden, too, had long thought to herselfi
When no kind hand was near, she must get on the
shelf i
But she tried Golden Ale, and Its magical train
Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once agalp.
And 'overs in scores to her cottage repair,
Youth blooms on her cheeks and raven’s her hair,
Onca again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale,
And Is doatlngly fond of the famed Golden Alo.
The old and the young to he hearty and hale,
Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale,
And their collars well store for the cold winter's night
As ’tls health to the sick, to the blind It Is light.
