Ilia Protective Pasoiti About the Girl with one Stocking. Washington Correspondence Chicago llorald Senator Vance set his col leagues arid spectators in a roar by readingin splendid style the following pastoral, which he said wa en illed, “The Girl With One Stocking; a pro tective pastoral composed aud ar ranged for the spinning wheel, and r* sped fully dedicated to that devoted friend of protected machinery and high taxe-, the senator from Rhode I-lau<i, Mr Aldrich:’’ Our 3lary bad a little lamb, And herLeart was most intent To make its wool beyond its worth. Being 50per cent. But a pauper girl accross the sea Had one s;mall lamb also, Whose wool for less than half that sum She'd willingly let go. Another girl who bad no sheep, No stockings—wool nor flax— But money enough just to buy A pair without the tax. ✓ Went to the pauper girl to get Some wool *o shield her feet, And make her stockings, not of flux, But of wool complete. When Mary saw the girl’s design She straight began to swear That she'd make her buy both wool and [tax Or let one leg go bare. So she cried out; "Protect Reform! J.et pauper sheep wool free! It it will keep both of her legs warm What will encourage me.” So it was done and people said Where’er that poor girl went, One leg was warmed with wool and one With 56 per cent. Now praise to Mary and her lamb, Who did the scheme invent, To cloth one-half a girl In wool And one-half in per cent. All honor, too, to Mary’s friend. Aud all protective acts, That clothe the rich in wool And wrap the poor in tax. The reading of this piece of dog gerel was receive i with shouts of laughter, even Jtepublica senators leaning back in their seats and giving unrestrained way to their mirth. As for the people in the galleries they screamed and yelled fiauticaliy, and when Senator sat down they kept up their uproarous applause until the Noith Carolina orator gravely In clined his head in acknowledgement.
