From the Round Table.
SIHODDY.

From the Round Table.
SIEODDY.
Terrible times OF sorrow and need
Times to make hearts of adamant bleed;
Times that seem 10 have been decreed
To chasten our wayward nation
Fathers and brothers thinning away;
Bread growing scarcer every day;
Famine to pinch and sword to say-
IT'S u woeful situation!
But even as Nero, In days of old,
Unmoved, heard Roman fire bells tolled,
And saw the "machnes" that ratified and roid
To the scene of great Disaster
The while he rosined his fd5de d, g9I Ridisv ob -,
G. - ~ =, 'o n,crry while all things go
So Wv no T,o tho Dickers, faster aud faster.
Parties, sociables, visits and calls,
Operas, hops, and Russian balls,
Mid broken pillars and tottering walls,
Enough to bewilder body
Silver and gold, and gems of the miue
Satin to rustic and silk to shine,
Feathers and fuss, and frippery fine
The paraphernalia Of Shoddy!
Carriages 9ash through the crowded street;
Flukeys in livery stiff on each seat,
Buttoned and capped from head to feet
Most solemn, majestical hunkeys;
And "tigers" to let down the steps with bow
Learned only tigers, and heaven knows how,
Dressed up in fashion, must allow,
Like that of the organ monkeys.
The ladies who walk wen the weather is fair,
Show marvellous tastes with marvellous air;
Nothing can be too splendid to wear,
Too gaudy or too funny,
For credit is good, if prices are high,
And a government nod or wink OF the eye
Can pile up "Greenbacks" clear TO the sky
Greenback being Shoddy for Money
90 yellows and blues and scarlets gay
Go sweeping the pavement every day,
Making rainbow of poor Broadway
With glare that is really stunning /:
And even the churches. where fashion goes,
Are mass of foles and furbelows,
Filtration and foolery under the rose
Past even the Serpont's cunning.
While Shoddy over its turtle gl)ats,
Our soldiers shiver in rotten coats,
And our tars go down IN their leaky boats,
The victims Of contract building;
Aud Poverty starves ia its wretched slums
Or freezes to death when the north wind comes,
While Shoddy is picking the sweetest plums
From its bed of gingerbread gliding
But what cares Shoddy for all these things
Shoddy, the richest of paper kings
Shoddy, who dances, hddes and sings
On the crater of Id initiation
What does he care1 Not sou marques;
He iattens and battcns in luxury,
AS IL his reign we're q thing to be
OF eternal perpetuation.
But Damocles' sword hangs overhead;
Justice may Sleep but she is not dead,
Vengeance Is mine!" tho Lord hath said,
And soon, at the end Of the story,
Fruitest wine shall be bitterest gall,
Silk and satin, make shro,ld and pail,
Truth shall raise ond Shoddy fall
To the nations lasting glory!

TEE New York Times (Re2ublican) has
New Orleans correspondent whose repro.
sensations present rather discouraging
picture of the working Of the free negro
system there. He says:
1.-THE crying evil, which may be heard
on every plantation down the Mississippi,
is the incorrigible Incidence OF the negroes,
and with it the lack of power to make the
niggers work. The freedmen" will work
only as they feel disposed. The planter
has no means to compel him to labor and
consequently, the negroes on most planta-
tons are under poor condition OF dis
cipline. Not ono in Fifty will raise finger
to help themselves, so long as they can get
enough to eat by stealing, and possess a
rag to cover their nakedness. Independent
Of the ravsge Of the army worm, the crops
Of the majority Of the. plantations would
have resulted in small returns the present
season. / have heard dozen planters
assert this fact, and they attribute it to no
other cause than the universal indisposition
of.ths negroes to do the necessary work,
and the utter inability Of the supcrintcn-
dents to get the work out Of them. The
neg,o COS are paid, clothed and fed yet they
steal sugar, and either eat it or sell it,
They steal the cotton under cover of the
night, and dispose Of it to the numberlcss
petty spectators, many Of whom put them
up to it. They steal the corn and feed
their pigs with it and save their own for
market. They feign sickness and will lay
in the hospital for weeks when nothing on
Aarth IL the matter with them. The negro
idea Of freedom is that Of unrestrained
license to do as they please and 90 where
they choose. "A s-s s.,7 ..a .a,s.
