The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-05-03

Lines suggested by solitary little grave found OF
the banks of the Mississippi River.
No rare exotic here
Uplifts its regal head,
| Nor fiaucts its beauties gay,
Above the early dead.
But lOwly wildwood Aowcrs bend DER the little
mound,
And kiss with fragrant lips the perfumed air
around.
Just as the breath OF morn
Has flushed the quiet sky
The mOcking bird's sweet matin hymn
Comes floating softly by.
Whilo in the deep and solemn hush of evening,
vesper prayer
The Whip-o-wilslo low requiem falls sadly on tho
With touch of gold the rising sun
Casts here his earliest beam,
And faintily traced upon the sod
His farewell glores CLEAN.
And the pale moon, with tender care spreads here
her silvery light
While stars their ceaseless ygis keep throughout
the silent night.
l know that other tears
Have moistened this long grave,
Than the pure, sparkling drops
That nature kindly gave.
Some mothers stricken heart hath prayed in an
guish here
And loving ones have often bent above spot 50
dear
But they come now no more:
Perhaps deaths dreamless seep
Seals now the loving eyes
That here were want to weep
Yet angels keep their constant watch above this
sacred sod,
Until little form shall rise in glory to its God
The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-05-03

NEGROES are told that they can COM
mand 81 25 for their labor in Kansas
Conscientious men should be careful
about misleading them in this respect.
1t is possible that during the planting
and harvesting seasons they might
command that price, but these seasons
embrace not more than six or eight
weeks in the year, and what are they
to do or get for the remaining forty or
forty-fve weeks? There is nothing
more certain in this world than that q
serious disappointment awaits the dar
key in Kansas, and the men who lure
him to his own undoing will have o
great sin to answer for.
