The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1866-07-22


And none can see its beauty
Save mother, God and I,
The future may be grander
For some great glory won
Some gem set in the ages
BY cen poor mans son.

Brick Pomeroy" has been to
Boston and thus gives his impression
of the .'hub:"
Boston is the cradle of Lib! The
place near where Mr.. Warren fell and
hurt himself. The place where Wen
dell Phillips, the ''silver tongued"
(what gag) orator doth abide. 1t
is the hub of the universe and the
dwelling place of the big organ.
Boston thinks she is the largest place
in this world or the next. Boston is
very complacent burg-near by is
the home of Boston's pet, the silver
ware stealing Ben. We rather like
Boston, for there is no village like
unto it from the fddling of Nero to
the Revelation of st. John, N. B.
Half way between Providence and
Boston-for Boston is q long ways
from Providence-as we were riding
in cart, a still small voice, like the
whistle of an engine, broke upon the
air. A gentleman in the seat with
Us uncovered his bald head, and with
asmile bade us listen!
Whats that?" said we.
THE big organ in Boston," said
he, with funeralic wag of his head
''The devil!'' said we.
Thou shalt not profane!'' said the
spokesman from the hub.
'.Hast been to Boston?" asked he
OF the silver-tongue.
owe hast notist, replied we, then
there to him.
He looked-''poor heathen!" He
said we must visit the Cradle of
Liberty. We asked him if Fred.
Douglass and Anna Dickinson had
engaged that cradle yet? He didn't
see it. He said we must visit Fanuell
Hall. We asked him what nigger
troupe was performing there now?
He looked bewildered. Then he
said we must see where Warren fell.
We asked him if Warren ever got
over 1.-THE place where he fell. He
appeared demoralized. He said we
must hear the big organ before we
left Boston.
We went to hear the big organ. 1t
is held in several buildings. 1t is
one size larger than Boston.
Boston is the hub around which
the organ revolves.
The organ is q revolver.
Like the organ, this is big play
on words
People in New York and Buffalo
hear the moan Of the sea. The moan
is the big organ.
It is used in Mass!
It has sort of loag island sound!
Boston people go to Heaven
through the big organ.
That is when the nigger is out SC
they cannot go through him.
There are but few gambling houses
in Boston. No such fellows are
around that hub.
They don't play s'straits" in Bos-
ton. Not in the streets.
Harvard College is just beyond
reach of the big organ.
Cambridge University is always in
session. 1t is law school. The
pleading is done Mt the bar of the
Parker House.
The studies at Cambridge are said
to be very dry. The studies affect
the pupils. Pleading at the ban
affects them ikewise-or moro like
than wise.
No one ever gets lost in Boston.
The sity is SO well organized. Like
the big organ, Boston has numerous
stops! Some of the streets are near
~ as long as fish-pole. But not SO
long as Polk's message. If a man
don't like one street in Boston. it is
easy to get on another one.
After four days trial We could 90
from the Parker House to the City
Hall without getting lost! This is a
fact! And in five days we learned
the route from Scollay's Building to
Engine House No. 4.
The business blocks in Boston are
in shape like Norwegian shoes.
The streets IN Boston are like hop
poles struck by lightning. Some OF
them are 80 wids that COW could he
