JAZZ POETRY,

THE following is another of the numerous
poems written under the inspiration of emotions
excited by imprisonment It was handed to a
reporter of the Gazette IS he passed through the
jsil few days ago by prisoner who is confined
there on the charge of stealing rope from the
ferry slip at Shepherd, on tho opposite side of
the river
Early one morning between eight and ten,
On bench sat Mayor kemper with paper and
pen.
Says he, my young man. I'll have none of your
But will bind you right over to the October
Court
He handed me over to Tailor Bun Cline,
WIN the greatest OF caution to keep me some
7 m far from my friends and cannot give bail,
so now must stay in St Assph. street JAIL
He locked ME up here and left me alone.
And am surrounded with iron and stone:
No chance to eacape-no chance to get free
And am now pining for sweet liberty
With the trestment get cannot find fault,
although object to the room | have got.
With the worst Of mean niggers am forced to
remain,
Until can breathe sweet freedom again.
Most Of the prisoners are hard ones;
| often wish they were dead.
They sneak to my cell when Pm absent,
And steal my cold meat and corn bread.
When fer from my loved ones and home,
From those could fondly embrace,
A message WAS sent me to come,
And temptation brought on my disgrace.
Far away from my home, among strsne
l am doomed here alone for to dwell;
Locked up IN the Alexandris prison,
And each night confined to my CELL
l am thrown on the mercy Of Aliens
Without kind word to cheer;
But trust TO the kind Father above US,
Ny prayers know he will hear
Oh why should I be 10 forlorn,
Although am confined here below7
There will yet come = far brighter morn,
when shall to my native State 60.

FOREIGN News,

LONDON, Aug. l6.-The Times says there
was almost nothing doing 10 discount Sstur-
day, and the rate was nominal. 1t was the
same with money, which is so excessively cheap
that banks and discount houses refuse to look
at any but the very best paper, because it not
worth while to take any risk. For the strug-
gling trader the present torpor is therefore
worse than desrer money might be. With a
rate to tempt business he might get some ao-
commodation, but now he gets none. The
simple result Of this must be that many houses
Of small means will succumb. This cheap
money is therefore about the most severe puri-
fer Of the market that could be conceived q,
the present moment.
