SONG OF THE FREEDMAN.
BY AR. WATSON.

1T A..n. WATSON.
"A freedman sat on pile Of bricks,
As the rain was pattering down;
His shoes were worn and his coat was torn,
And his hat was without a crown.
He viewed the clouds and he viewed him
self,
And shook the wet from his head,
And tear dimmed his eye as he saw go by
A boy with loaf of bread.
And he raised his voice in adolesome tone,
That sounded like gong, BIZ
While the rain came down on his happy
crown,
And sang to himself this song:
Dc wind bows cold, but rs done with toll,
And left dc cotton patch;
guess ole nlassa tink he count
De chickens Tore they hatch.
totes no more de heaby load,
Nor drives old missus round;
wonder who dey's gwine to get
To work do patch Of ground2
Den fling away de rake and hoe, +.
Dis am de jubilee;
De rain may come, de wind may blow,
a.
But Dress de Lord Is freel I
But + tink last night as I tried to sleep
Upon dc muddy ground,
Whilo.de rain was drippin' on my head
Aud de wind was wbizzin' round,
I'd like to hab my light'cod fire,
And my cabin back again;
For de wedaer's gettin' berry cold
Out here in all dis rain,
But den Is done wid de rake and hoe,
Dis am de jubilee;
De rain may come, de Wind may blow,
But bress de Lord Is free!
Use got all ragged bout de knees;
My shoes is worn out too;
Nv coat SO Gle dat from each sleeve
De elbows eommin' froo.
And dore's de children dat once played
In shiEt-tail bout de yard,
cannot buy shirt for dem,
De times so berry hard.
But fling away de rakelana hoe,
Dis am de jubilee; g
Dc rain may come de wind may blow,
But Dress de Lord Is free!
De udder day when Pinky died,
link it berry good,
Dat de dear Lord should take her off
Before dis cold wind bowed;
But don twas hard to see her die
/ wished she'dnot been born
Is 'fraid she persisted for see asked ai.
About de rice and corn.
But den rs done wild de rake and de hoe,
Dis am de jubileei h
De rain may come, de wind may blow,
But bress de Lord Is free!
And Dinah sits here on the ground
And looks SO thin and poor;
She cannot sing de songs she sung
About de cabin door.
Her poor old limbs are almost bare,
Her cheek bones commin' froo;
Ialmost wish de Lord would como
And take her up dere too.
Hut den she's done with de rake md hoe,
Dis am de jubilee;
De rain may come, de wind may blow,
But Dress de Lord she's froe!
! dreamt los night ole massa come
And took us home wild he,
TO the log cabin dat we lef
When first dey set us free; aa
And dere ! built de light'ood fire.,
And Dinah cooked the yam,
Dey say that dreams are sometimes true;

they venture TO resist an officer when making an

Adam was taken into custody at the corner of Mas
