Charleston News and Courier)
The following poem. from the pen Of the
gallant and accomplished Captain lines
Randolph, was published shortly after the
close OF the late civil war, and naturally
attracted a great deal of admirlng atten-
ton at the time. Captain Randolph was
also the author OF The Good Ola KeDel'
another indignant protest in verse against
the treatment of the South by the Federal
Government after the war, and his fame
as a poet safely rests upon the merits OF
these two high-spirited and sharply point
ed illusions:

Isn't It Strange That

A man can lose his head without
being beheaded.
You can still see when blinded by
prejudice?
1t doesn't hurt you to let your eyes
fall to the floor?
You can tell how anything looks
without saying word?
Having load on your mind doesn't
increase your weight?
We can be carried away and stay
where we are?
Two people may fall out without
striking somewhere?
A person may turn deaf ear to
subject and still hear every wordg
We can see through so many things
with our eyes closedg
We cannot be dead in earnest or
any subject without being very much
alive to it?
