What If died to-nighte And when to-mor-
rows sun had crept
Where late the softer moon i'm virgin beauty
slept,
would weep to see me dead!
Who'd bend the knee of sorrow by the pulse
less wanton's bed?
There's one would cOme-my mother! God
bless the angel band
That bore her, ere her daughter fell, to yon-
der quiet land.
Thank God for all the anthems that the glad
den'd angels sung
When my mother went TO Heaven, and was
pure and young.
And there's another, too, would comc-a
man upon whose brow
My shame has wrought the winter SNOW to
rest so heavy now;
Yes, he would come, with manhoods tears
all burning down his check

virtue grew SO weak.
My sisters and my brothers all, thank God I.
are far away;
They'll never know how died the one who
mingled in their play
They'll never know how wretchedly their
darling sister died
The one who smiled whener they smiled,
who cried whene'er they cried.
I'm all alone tonight. How strange il is
that Ishould be alone!
This splendid chamber seems to want some
rOue's wanton tone!
Yon soulless mirror, with its smooth and all
Sees not these jeweled arms tonight in their
unchaste embrace.
Oh. / have fled the fever of that heated
crowded hall,
Where might claim the richest and the
gayest of them all
Where could smile upon them, with that
easy, wanton grace,
Which subdues the blood OF virtue that
would struggle in my face!
hate them all. / scorn them, as they scorn
me ON the street;
could sperm away the pleasure that my lips
80 often meet
| could trample on the lucre that their pas
sion never spares,
For they've robbed me of II heritage OF great
er price than theirs
They can never give me back again what
have thrown away
The brightest jewel woman wears through
out her little day;
The brightestand the only one, that from the
cluster riven,
shuts out forever woman's heart from all Its
hopes of Heaven.
What If died tonight? What II died as
lam lying here7
There's many green leaf withers ere the
Autumn comes to scar!
There's many IA dew-drop shaken down ere
yet the sunshine came,
And many a spark hath died before il wnken-
ed into flame!
What il died tonight and left these wretch
Ell bonds of clay,
To seek beyond the hollow spere brighter
better day?
What ii my soul passed out aud sought that
haven of the blest,
"Where the wicked cease from troubling,
and tho weary are AT rest?"
Would angels call me from above, and beck
on me to come
And join them in their holy songs i'm that
eternal home?
Would they clasp their hands in gladness
when they saw my soul set free,
And point beside my mother toa place re-
served for me-?
Would they meet me as IA sister, as one of
precious worth,
Who had won place In Heaven by her
holiness ON earth:
Oh! God, would not have my soul to go
out upon the air,
With all Its weight OF wrechedness to wan

OUR readers no doubt remember the
great ado made by the stalwart Repub-
lican journals over the killing of Dixon
by Barksdale In YazoO City, Mississippi,
on the 18th Of last August. They raised
the howl of murder in every journal of
that class from Maine to Kansas, and
reiterated il time and again in all the
hideous shapes that language could
place it. The fall elections in several
States We're coming ON, and this was
the stock in trade. Our neighbor, the
Neirs, in its issue of September 9Th,
1879, had column editorially devoted
to it, i'm which he characterized the kill
ing "a political murder eOntrired urith
deriiish n,diignity- executed Nth brazen
etfrOntery at high noon upon "a public
highWdy." >
" shocking ia character, mAURdn ia its
brutal detdiis, riolet n its methods, de-
structire to Ldto and ortter, and at6rer-
sire Of cira liberty" The same paper
in its issue Of 10th Of September, had a
pretended communication from some
one in Yazoo county, giving an account
of it as bold political murder. This
killing WAS the stock in trade for Repub-
lican politicians all last Autumn. DEM
ocratic, Independent and non-partisan
papers at the time gave very different
statement, showing it to be u justifiable
homicide. The Grand Jury of YazOo
county, Mississippi, composed equally Of
men of both parties, and both eOlors
have had the ease before them and have
failed to find grounds sufficient 10 justify
them in bringing in an Indictment.
When all this bull-dozing, bloody-shirt
stuff, which makes up the sum total of
Republican campaign material, is inves
tigated, il turns out just like the Dixon
case, who was bold, desperate man,
and was killed by Barksdale to save his
own life. Wear no apologist for crime
of any kind, and believe the laws should
be enforced impartially, but self-defense
is natures first law and is right. 1t isa
good sign that party has outlived its
usefulness when it has to resort to such
subterfuges and misrepresentation, and
thus keep alive sectional prejudices to
enable it to keep in power.
