BIZ MART FVhhLols
Sitting once more in the shadow,
The chill, of invisible wings,
Whose silent ebrasion has riven
The tender and delicate strings.
Twined softly around the beloved
Twined gently because of the knell,
Whose echoes were evermOre telling
OF another, down deep in the dell.
God pity thee, re-stricken mother,
ClaspiDg meekly thy bur hen OF grief;
Uplifting loves quivering, tenaris
With looks that cry out Fcr reiief!
Waiting to rest in the stiffness,
Pres ed close by tie sheitcring sod,
Yearning to follow the pathway
The feet of the loved ones have trod.

No man dared TO oppose it. School
teachers were arrested, 6ned and thrown
into prison, when they dared to say they
did not like slavery. In the Southern
