Last mite, weary and Disguised with
readin eleckshun returns, | picked up
a volum Nv Cammcll's Poems, and red
that splendid peese, "Thc Last Man. .
Cammcll is q poick-ther aint no
doubt Nv it. Efmy too partial friends
aint too partial, | can whop him on
the sublime, but, On the pathetics, l
ackno!lidgc him ez my sooperior. Be
that cz it may, the poem made a i'm
! preston on my mind, wich is proof
g. that ther is suthin into it, and my
mind wuz dwellin onto it ez | sunk
into slumber.
Ez yoosual he'd dream, and sich
q dream may never hev agin.
Mcthaut the opidcmick, wich is now
devastatin Europe, he'd struck Moo
York. For time, it struck down al
classes. The proud Caucashen, the
hidjus niger, the noble red man NY
the forest, and the almond, eyed Chi
nesc, all, all, fell afore the ruthless de-
stroycr. But, at last, it abated cx-
cept so far ez the niger was concern

wuz the Injin, and the Chinese, but
among the Airikins it ragged with re-
doubled fury. o, it wuz crushin =

the stalwart field hand wich wuz wuth
$500, wuz cold corpse, and the
field wuz unplowed. Agin he looked,
and alas the brawny wench, wich
alluz bore him picanny witch wuz
wuth 5000 ez soon ez wcancd, wunst
per year, and by little extra whip
pin, did full years work, wuz pros
trate in the cold embrace Nv death.
Agin he looked, and wo the octo-
room, for wich he paid 50 500, and
whose girl babies he could sell in Moo

The Democrisy belSum alarmed
The indefatigable leaders whispered: :
"The niger is fadin away!-sposin
he bekums extintkl" Whereupon
consultation Nv the head men wuz had.
In view of the crisis, pair-one male
and wun female, wuz selected and cX-
amined by committee Nv expert ex-
aminers in life insurance companies.
: They wuz pronounced perfeck speci-
mens-entirely sound and free from

t room, in healthy locashen, and
! twenty -four of the most eminent phys
| cians Nv of the country wuz detailed
g -one to stay with them wun hour Nv
each day, that, in case the disease
Q struck en-, the remedies might be to-
wunst applied, that, from these two,
the race might be propogated, and the
cappytle NV the party be preserved.
! But all to no purpose. The last

adopted, they too died
