''tSeorge Wathingtou first to the White
House came,
And next ou the list is Johu Adams
name,
Tout JtflVrson then filled the honored
place;
The name of Jcnus 1'adisou next we
trace."
'The (if h in succession was James
Monroe,
And John Quincey Adams the next
below.
Tht u Andre-v Jackson was placed in te
chair;
Next we find llartiu Van Uuren there.'
Then Wm. II. Uaniaon was the choice
you know,
But died to make, room tor John Tyler
below.
At the next election, by the way of a joke
The Dtmocrats elected James K. Polk
Then Zacnarjr Taylor was designated
To govern a peoule by victory elated(
But died in his office, us did Harrison ol
yore
And was happily succeeded by Millard
Fillmore.
Now, next Franklin Pierce, the distinction
ore.
He was born in New Hampshire in
eighteen and four.
It was in this contest the ''Haas" first
appeared,
11 ut nothing in history, fiom them is j
heard.
''The fifteenth name was James Ducbanan
they say,
Who. for Abraham Lincoln, prepared
the way.
Who's martydoin gave Andiew Johnson
ch nice.
The eighteenth nsme was Ulysses S.

Then James A. Ga. titld took the chair of
State,
Hut was soon' removed by the band Of
fate."
-Then Chester A; Ailbur filled the term
unexpired,
I5ut of the party in power, the people
were tired."
So they chose Urover Cleveland to serve I
in his stead,
To 'turn out the rascals," and likewise
he did.
For four long years be honored hs trust(
I5y serving the people in a way that
was just.

Blaine.
Then Benjumin Harrison was chosen, a
ptrt little chap,
He had nothing to recommend him
'ct-pt hi. grandfather's bat.
Which only was worn a month as jou

By the vt-nriable president ofyearsago.
The people got tired, and 15cnjims.ii

So Grover was aain put back in the
