shood hev the position NV Dorekeeper
to the House NV the Lord (wich in
this State means the Caputal & wich

tents NV wicked grosery keepers, on
tick, ez do) and u joodishus exhi.
bition Nv this promise prokoored
for me unlimited facilities for bor-
Terin, wich l improved, muchly.
On Wednesday mite | wuz a sittin
in my room, a enjoyrn the pleasin re.
Election in few days l should be
placed above want, & beyond the con
tingencies nv fortune. Wood! oh
wood that | he'd died then and there
before that dream NV bliss wuz roodly
broken. A wicked boy cum running
past with paper wich he he'd brot
from the next town where there lives
a man who takes one. He flung it
thro the window to me and past on.
/ opened it eagerly, and glanced at
the he'd lines!

One long and piercin shrecll wuz
heard thro that house, and wen the
inmates rushed into the room they
found me inanymate on the iloor.-
The 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
propriety NV bringin me to, he insist
ed 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 argoom the matter pro and con,
[ happened TO get a good smell Nv
his breath, which restored me to con
ciousniss to-wuns,, without further
assistance.
When in trouble my poetic sole
alluz finds vent in song. Did ever
poet who delted in tombs, and dark,
rollin streams, and consumption, and
blighted hopes, and decay, and sich
themes, ever hev such q pick of sub
jects es l hey at this time? The fol-
lerin may be consolation to the few
Dimolirats nv the North, who have
gone so far into copperheadism that
they can't change their base:
a VALE!
In the mornin we 90 forth reioicin

are bustid and wilt!
Man born NV woman land most
men are) is Nv few days, and them
is so full NV trouble that it's sllarsely
worth while bcin born at all.
In October | wadcd in woe knee

To the west | turn my eyes. and

In New York we had en-, for 10
We run a soler, who fought valiently,
md we put him on platform, wich
stunl with nigger--yea, the savor
thereof wuz louder than the Ablishun
platform itself.
Bat behold! the people Jcer and
iout, and say "the platform stinketh
oud enough, but the smell thereof Is
not the smell nv the Afrikin-it is Of
.he rotten material nv wich it is com
posed, and the corrupshun they hev
placed on lt'-and New York goes

Slocum held hisself up and sed

bought him and his tribe, but he get.
