iss~er going 2 help us, now's his
timeE
H my clerikle brethrin Nv the
Gzursh South beside to appoint day
uvfastin' and prayer, I submit the fol-
bs~iu ez sam NV agony, approprit for
TIN occasion !:
A SAM Nv AGONY.
Cs the street see a niger
GIN his back coat NV bloc, and he
ezFrieth muskit.
He is Provo Guard, and he halteth
mzs ez wun having authority.
And my tender daughter spit ON him
and 10 The arrested her, and she Ian
azished in the guard house.
NY eyes dwell on him, and my sole
issn artesan well nv wo it gusseth with
azgef. tta
Fer that niger wuz my niger l
tssught him with prize.
Alas that niger is out Nv his nor
Mal condshun, be is star out of its
speer, which sweepeth thro the po-
htdkle hevens, smashin things.
Normally he wuz with gold and sill
vex~-now he is nitemare. ftk
Wunst / wuz rich, and that niger
wuz the basis thereof.
Wo is me L owned him sole, body,
siasoos, muscles, blood, boots and
pxfehes.
His intellect wuz mine, his body
vsEs mine likewise his labor and the
fru0ts thereof
His wife WIZ mine, and she was my
cgnkebine.
The normal results of the conkebin-
ago / sold, combining pleasure and
profit III an iminent degree.
And ON the price thereof I played
poker, and drank mint gooleps, and
rode In gorgus chariots, and wore pur-
pfe and fine linen every day.
Wuz this miscegenashun or niger
equality ? Not any. For she wuz
mime, even as my OK, or my horse, or
my sheep, and her increase wuz mine,
even as wuz theirs.
Abiishin miscegenashun elewates
the niger wench to his level-I did it
fargain, which degrades her mnchly.
And when the wife of my buzum,
lifted up her voice in complaint, sayin,
s~E,o, am abused-this little niger
resembleth thee 7 half the price NV
TIE infant chattel wood buy a diamond
pam with which to stop her yawn.
And my boys followed in my foot
Steps, and CRATE wuz the mix, but pro-
fiEable.
But my dream is bustid.
The niger is free, and demand wa
gas for the work Nv his hands.
His wife is free, and she can decide
whether she'll cleave to her husband,
or be my conkebine.
Yesterday babe her come to me,
and 10 the remark g Go way white
man, or 1 bust yer he'd"
And / code.
Her children are free-they are mine
likewise, but can't sell 'em on the
block to the highest bidder.
Therein Linkin sinned-he violated
the hottest and hiest instinks NV our
nzueher ;; he interposed a proclamashun
atween father and child.
We took the hethen from Afreka

Ikin git no more dimund pins fur
the wife NV my buzum, and she yaw-

Arrayd in hum-spun, she wrastles
with pots and kittles in the kitchin.
Weighed down with wo, she dips
