OK THE Wine, Nov the 9th, 1865.
Never wuz in sopleasant frame
Nv mind ez last night. All wuz
peace with me for after bein buffeted
ab0ct the world for three skore years,
at last il seemed to me that forchune,
tired NV perseokootin q unforchnit
bein, he'd taken me into favor. i he'd
solemn promise from the Deme-
kratic State Central Committy in the
great State NV Moo Gersey, that ez
soon ez our candidate for Governor
wuz dooly elected, / shood hev the
position Nv Dorekeeper to the House

ed grosery keepers, on tick, ez l do J
and joodishus exhibition NV this
promise he'd prokoored for me un-
limited facilities for borrerin, wich /
improved. muchlv.
On Wednesday mite l wuz sittin
in my room, a enioyin the pleasin re-
Election in a few days l should be
placed above want, d beyond the
contingencies NV fortune. Woodl
oh wood! that l he'd died then and
there before that dream NV bliss wuz
roodly broken. A wicked boy cum
running past with paper wich he

there lives q man who takes one
He flung it thro the widow to me and
past on, l opened it eagerly, and
glanced at the he'd linesI

Ond long and piercin shreek wuz
heard thro that house, and wen the
inmates rushed into the room they
found me inanymate on the floor.
TIE fatal paper lay near me, explain
in the cause NV the catastrophe. The
kind hearted landlord after feelin NV
my pockets and diskiverin that the
contents thereof wood not pay the
arrearages NV board, held hurried
consultation with his wife as to the
prosriety NV bringin me to, he in.
sisted that it wuz the only chance Nv
gettin what wuz back-she insisting
that eff | was brung to I'd go on run
ming up the bill bigger and bigger,
and never pay at last. While they
was argooin the matter pro and con,
l happened to get good smell NV
his breath, which restored me to con
ciousniss to Wunst, without further
assistance. ..
When in trouble my poetic sole
alluz finds vent in song. Did ever
poet who delited in tembs, and dark,
rollin streams, and consumption, and
blighted hopes, and decay, and sich
themes, eve hey such pick of sub
jects es | hev at this time? The fol
lorin may be a consolation to the
few Dimokrats NV the North, who
have gone so far into eopperheadism
that they can't change their base:
