written on seeing an old solder chained
to the sidewalk in the city of Aberdeen
S. D.
Chained like a dog in the public street,
Full in the blaze of the suns fierce heat,
Full in the gaze of the passer-by,
The cynOSure of tine city'S eye!
Chained to the wall! what foul offense
Has outraged the city's marol sense?
This is his crime: He begged for bread,
And he had nowhere to lay his head.
For this, the infamous brand he bears;
For this the chain of the convict wears;
Oh! sight that should stir mems souls with
shame,
And set humanity's cheeks aflame!
Seen, not in the dim past's twilight shade
But in the Nineteenth centurys decade.
Seen, not in the land of the Turk and
Moor
But in liberty's cradle, Christianity's core
One of the host of - unemployed,
Haunting the markets~With labor cloyed
From mines shut down and from fields
burned brown,
Drifting and riven from town to town.
there poured
Thro' the city, later, hungry horde.
One of the million who must move on
Till they move off and the moving's done
One of the northumberland I ween
AS followed the pitiful Nazarine,
And his was the spirit of those who fed
To the fasting multitude meat and bread.
Who judged it were better to house These
Than to lock them like brutes in loath-
To welcome the stranger, as guest tC
Than with force to confront him, as foe
to fear.
All! farmer neighbors, right we'll we know
Who in fear and trembling EACH seasons
SOW
With little assurance that we shall reap,
Or reaping, the half of our harvest keep.
Some seasons of fruitless stress and strain
May bring us beggary, ball and chain.
We, too, on the public square may stand
The man effected by the convicts brand.
And it's but human, this stronger wrath
We feel for the danger athWart our path
That we trace it back to it's kin long-lost
The pillory stocks and whipping post
The auction block with it's tears and blood
Draw drop for drop, in the cleansing flood
That question what is beyond thi:
scene,
If after starvat ton the guillotine?
Fit theme for Whittier's pen of fire.
Or Garrison's great God-like ire.
Yet, our prophets at need inspire,
And tune themselves to the humblest Tyre
They waken the godhood in lesser men
And tip with lightning the meanest pen,
Souls pregnant with living truths grow
great,
To match the growth of their precious
freight.

dear Sir: You are doing most excel

THAT many of the shortages complained

liable, is frequently proven when several
cars are shipped from one place and I'M
