On THE WING, Nov. 9th, 1865.
Never wuz l in so pleasant a frame NV
mind ez last night. All wuz peace with
me; for after bein buffeted about the
world for three skore years, at last it
seemed to me ez tho ~forchune, tired NV
p~ersekootin an unforchnit bein, had taken
me into favor. l he'd a solemn promise
from the Dimikratic State Central Com
nifty in the great State Nv Moo Gersey,
that ez our candidate for Governor waz
dooly elected, l shood hev the position Nv
Dorekeeper to the House NV the Lord
witch in this State means the Caputal &
witch is certainly better than dwellin in
the tents NV wicked grosery keepers, on
tick, ez 1 do and a joodishus exhibition
NV this promise he'd prokoored for me un-
limited facilities for borrerin, WITCH l i'm
proved, muchly.
On Wednesday mite l wuz a sittin in
my room, a enjoyin the pleasin reflection
that in a few days 1 should be placed
above want, & beyond the contingencies
Nv fortune. Wood oh wood tibet 1 he'd
died then and there, before that dream NV
bliss wuz roOdly broken. A wicked boy
cum runnin past with a paper witch he
he'd brought from the next town where
there lives a man who takes one. He
flung 1t thro the window to me and passed
on 1 opened it eagerly and glanced at

gone long and piercin shrek wuz heard
thro that house, and wen the inmates
rushed into the room they found me IMAM
ymate on the floor. The fatal paper lay
near me, explainin the cause NV the catas-
trophe. The kind-hearted landlord, after
feeiin Nv my pockets and diskiverin that
the contents thereof wood not pay the ar
rearages NV board, held a hurried consul
tation with his wife as to the propriety Nv
bringin me to, he insisting that it wuz the
only chance Nv gittin what wuz back
she insistin that eff 1 was brung to I'd go
on runnin up the bill bigger and bigger,
and never pay at last. While they was
argooin the matter pro and con, l hap
pened to git q good smell Nv his breath,
wich restored me to consciousness to-
wunst, without further assistance.
When in trouble my poetic sole alluz
finds vent in song. Did eve poet who
delited in tombs, and dark, rollin streams,
and consumption, and blighted bones, and
decay, and SIGH themes, ever hev such
pick of subjects ez 1 hev at this time
The follerin may be a consolation to the
few Dimokrats NV the North, who have
gone so far into apprehension that they
can't change their base2
