Hoy, con tus hinchados ojos

Hoy, con tus hinchados ojos
Da tantO llorar oansados,
Hoy, blanc0s, amoratados,
Lsbios que Theron tan rojos;
Hoy Sc ven solo despojos
De tn pasada grandeza,
Aunque On tn misma pobreza
Y tn absolute abandono,
Descansan como en- un tronO,
Ta majestad = grandeza!
liza pobreza, Of; hay instantes
En- que espants, nos da horror,
Y nos infunde terror
El brillo de los diamantes.
! Piedras que fuisteis enantes
La causa de algdn suicidio
Que hicisteis de algnn presidio
Oruzar ell oscuro espacio
Para luego en- un palaoio
Haceros yer: no Os envidiO!
Que asf como el mar profundo,
Tau azul, bellO y serenO,
Encierra OcultO en- su seno
Mas de un cadaver inmundo,
Siendo, cual es, Elm segundo
En- bellezas peregrinas,
Teniendo en- su seno ondinas
De varios encant0s llenas,
Y teniendo sus sirenas
Tan bellas = tan divinas;
Asl en- el profundo oceano
De nucstra humana existencia,
Donde todo, en- apariencia,
Psrece bello y galano,
Sc suele yer al humane
De porvenir mas risueho
Que Va, con rostro halagtieno,
Lujosamente vestido,
Pasar en- lecho mullido,
Noches enteras sin suefio.
No asf td; con tn penar,
Sofa y triste en- to dolor,
Como Ia inodora flor
Que en- Sahara suele brotar,
Sc te puede comparsr,
Pues que tienes en- tn abono
Ese complete absndono,
Esa desgracia infnits,
A una Reina, que proscrita
Mira perdldo So trono!
Oh, 81; viene q mi memoria,
A pesar de Ia distancia,
La hermosa edad de tn infancia,
De tn juvenil historic i;
/ Ouanta dicha, cuanta gloria I!
Que ventura! que algeria
Onando la tierna Maria,
Con 50 cabello de orc,
Debsjo de un sicomoro
Pasar sus horas sofia!
Entonces retrato f1el
Eras de gracia y candor,
Mas amante que ell amor,
Mas hermOsa que Raque',
Mas gallsrda que el clavel
Del campo de Jeric6,
Que el Sol & sus ojos di6
Toda su luz y 50 brillo,
Y entonces fue que Murillo
Su Conception ide6.
Y pas6 toio; y los aios
Velooes Sc sueedieron,
Y tras las dichss que huyeron
Vinieron los desenganos.
Y viste rostros hurafios,
Y en- tan solemnes momentos
Sc olvid6 de tus lamentos
La humanidad POGO & POGO,
Como so olvidan de un loco
Las frases y pensamientos :.
" en- tanto el viento gemia
Entire ell t0llaje del monte,
Y el c'aro y limpio horizonte
Como que se oscurecia.
Al parecer la agonfa
A gu termino tocaba.
Ell hijo por fin lanzsba
Elsuspiro postrimero,
Y adn q los pies del madero
La Madre iDfeliz estaba!

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
l.. r. WIlfiey's Speech Attracting
Great Deal Of Attention Through.
ont the United States.

The press of Missouri is paying a
great deal of attention to the speech
lately delivered at Yale College by
l.. R. Whitley, of Mexico, and pub
lished in the Mexico LEDGER. This
speech has been published in several
papers throughout the United States
and ~favorably commented on by
nearly all who have read it. The
Macon Times says:
In another column of this paper
is published the full text of the ora
ton delivered by Mr.. Whitley, of
Mexico, Mo-, at the Yale College
commencement exercises afew weeks
since, and which was awarded the
medal. We invite the attention of
young men especiallyt to Mr.. Wilfey's
remarks and ask them to read and
read again what he says until they
understand it. They will find more
fundamental truths touching on the
principles of government than is Of
ten found in so few words. Mr.. Will
fey is the young man who recently
created SO much talk by refusing to
enter a contest for a prize at Yale
with a negro. His production indi-
Gates great study ana a wonderful
conception. But his speech must
be read to be appreciated.
The Moberly Democrat takes di-
rectly the opposite view and says:
L. R. Whitley, the young man who
became notorious for refusing to
compete with a negro for high ora
~torical honors in a leading eastern
college, has again succeeded in get
ting his name in print by declaring
in a recent speech at Yale that with
one exception all the infdels | have
met are FOOLS" A combined head
stretcher and brain-enlarger should
be applied to this young man atonce
lest bis great oratorical powers come
to naught through narrow bigotry.
One so gifted might accomplish
much in the interest of religion, but
it connot be done in this enlightened
age by pitting SANDER against facts,
We would judge that the writer Of
the above is an infidel or a fool, and
| all FOOLS are not infdels.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-07-28
An Appeal for Good Roads.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo, July26.-DEARSIR:
The subject of roads should be agi-
tated until we can have some sys-
tenn by which our roads can be inn
proved, as our present road law is a
failure. The roads are almost i'm
pass1ble and the overseers are unable
to repair them at their command.
The districts under the present law
have been divided up SC they are SO
small that the tax is not sufficient
to buy the necessary tools to work
with. And the poll tax amounts to
almost nothing, as the amount of Ia
Dor is so small that by the time the
overseer gets a team broke, in their
time is up and he has to break
another. Only a few of the districts
have graders and are in nc condition
to buy them, and should not, as a
road grader in every district would
be too expensive. The road districts
should be laid off six miles square
and at each general election elect a
suitable man as %overseer, to take
charge Of all the roads in his district,
| furnish his own teams and help and
the district furnish the tools and
material. His salary should be suf-
fcient to justify a good man to put
in bis entire time. The grading
could be done at the proper time
and be settled well before the fall
rains set in. The people are willing
to be taxed for road purposes when
they see that they are benefited by
it. The poll tax should be paid in
money and exempt no nan ON ae-
count of age, as most of our well-to-
do turner's who make the most use
of the roads are above the age oil
fifty. Yours Respectfully,
S. E.. KENDALL.
