On the street see niger!
On his back a coat OF bloc, and he
carryeth musket. .e
He is Provo Guard, and he halteth
me ez wun hevin authority.
And my tender daughter spit on him,
and 10! he arrested her and she Ian
guisheth in the guard-house.
My eyes dwell on him, an my sole

with greet. .sl .t ....'D.... 3
For that niger wuz my niger IL
bought him with a price.
Alas! that nigger Is out NV his nor
NAL condishn, he Is a star out of its
speer, which sweepeth thro the politi-
llle hevens, smashin things. ~
Normally he wuz wuth gold and sill
~
Wunst | was rich, and that nigger
wuz the basis thereof ..a.. ...~'
Wo is me! / owned him, sole, body,
muscles, sinoos, blood, boots, and
! britchis.
His intellek wuz mine, his body wuz
mine, likewise his labor and the froots
| thereof. w
His wife wuz mine, and she wuz my
conkebine.
The normal results Of the conkebin-
age sold, combining pleasure and prof
it in eminent degree. D..
And on the price thereof played po-
ker, and drank mint gooleps, and rode
in goigus chariots, and wore purple and
fine linen every day.
Wuz this miscegcnashun or niger
equality? Not any. For she wuz mine
even as my OK, or my horse, or my
sheep, and her increase wuz mine, even
az wuz theirs. '..
Ablishn miscegenashun eiewates the
niger wench to his level did IL for

And when the wife of my buzm lifted
up her voice in complaint, sayin, Lo,
! | am abused-this little nigger rescmb-
leth thee! !" half the price of the infant
chattle wood buy diamond pin with
which to stop her yawp.
And my boys follcred in my footsteps,
and great wuz the mix but profitable.
But my dreem is bustid.
The nigger is free, and demands wa
ges for the work NV his hands.
His wife is free, and she kin beside
or be my conkcbine.
Yesterday babe her come to me, and
10! she remarkt, "Go way, white man
or bust yer head"
! And code. -.t
Her children are free-they are mine,
/ likewise, but can't sell 'em on the
block, to the highest bidder.
| Therein Linkin sinned-he vilatid
the holiest and highest instinks of our
nature; he interposed a proclamashen
atween father and child.
We took the heather from Afreka,
and wuz n maxim Christians NV 'em.-
Wo to him who stopt us in our mish-
merry work. .......
1t is written -" Kin the Ethiope

Dark is my fucher.
I / obeyed the crate Law Of Labor, e2
l served i'm the army, by substitoot-

In what am better than Northern
mudsili?
/ kin git no more dimund pins for The
wife of my buzm, and she yawpeth con-

Arrayd in hum-spun she wrastlcs
with pots and kettles i'm the kitchen.
Weighed down with woe, she dips
snuff in silence. .... s- .s....
She asks Nv me comfort-what kin !
say, whose poclSits contane only confed-
