LOCOMOTIVES. Hurrah. Hurrah. away we go-- Without spur or goad, Our iron coursers snort and blow, Along an iron road. Your noblest steeds of flesh and blood, Are soon with toh o'erdone-- But wheels iIapelled with fire and flood, Forever may roll on. No load nor length of way fatigues Our wild untiring team A iaunt of q hundred thousand leagues Is baby play for steam. The hills may lifttheir foreheads high, The rivers oppose in vain, Our smoky locomotive soon shall fly From Mexico to Maine. Then farewell to domestic jars All nnllifying nonsense done, An endless chain ef raii read ears Shall bind us all in one. The goodly danes of former days Were doomed at home to stay, Or jog OCT dislocating ways,

 A dozen miles day. Affairs of moment only led

 Their steps of course to roam, And comfort, too, was born and bred, They might suppose at home. But now feather has force enough To send our damsels forth, For yard of bobbin, or thimble of snuff, To the east, west, south or north. The western ploughboy hastes to hear Atlantic pillows roar The yankee sailor tries to steer

 The Pawnee prairies OCT. The southern sweep comes iii from work Where's Mrs. Scott says he-- She's gone for moment to New York, But will be home to tea. 0 we'll, says Darky, then I'll go,

 As the cars are whirling by, For mouthful of Boston air or so, And a bite ofpumpkin pie. Could our forefathers quit their shrouds, How would the good folks stare, To see their sons in countless crowds, Driven on by heated air. To see the stately steamboat glide,

 Encumbered by no sail Regardless of the opposing tide,

 The fair or adverse gale. Yet boast we not--the power of mind Must onward, onward go-- Our sons will stare in turn to find

 4t1. But oli!--Hurrahl away we rattle,

 On the wings of the red wind, And scare the fish and, kill the cattle, And leave all care behind.
