When man at the outskirts Of bright Eden

Neither beir nor wishing to be good.
Nor how and why to be knowing,
Sim ply an anthropoid, mindless, and, dense.
To all but the winds sharp blowing
And the dread gnaW ing of hunger intense.
Staying. but not for the pleasure
1t gave TO sacrifice life in mans blood:
But to fill a toodless embrasure,
Then sooth to loll in his pallet OF mud.
Then was he souless and savage, [crime.
Crude in the makeshitts which cultivate
Sy Ivan in habit 10 ravage
Knowing not how IN that far away time.
Later he discovered progI ession [style:
And learned TO wesr clothes Of manifold
Which very wicked concession
Provoked him to manners insult rably vile.
Finally he conquered true culture
Both Of abstract and concentrate kind,
Then evoluted vulture
With cunning and polemical mind,
He feeds on tt q world, relentipg
Never SO long as there yet stays bite
And gluts on his brother, reser ting fright"
This is styled civilization
And flight toward the ideal clouds.
While the mob in cultured vocation
Is hanging poor 'Negroes'' in crowds.

By glance at our Lynch" laden trees.
Or, the broad streets OF the city, s'wreok."
Where now the votive OF know ledge is
And the rabble is shorn of all plth
AT the mere sight of an Africans neck.
Oh! for the happy days tribal
And the catchs s'oatc b can fs shien to live,
Unlearned of laws and the Bible
Which percolate tbroug h the world as a sieve,
At least 'twere free from the chances

And thel eby doing air dances
Obltvious to their humorous sense.

1t can not be. the nature Of Am ericanism to
revlle the Negro who treats the recent out
RACES committed upon his race with satiricat
reflections, sir ce from American sources we
are duly credited with being race not given
to dysreptic maunderirg in the hour OF trou.

Muse, and with a make believe fiippaI cy. de-
scended down among the "ca naille of versi-

MALTA of crime which ur people are enduring
at the hands of sultured Americans.
Laugh and the world laughs with you,'
says that warm blooded daughter Of "EFos,'
Z. w. Wilcox, and to be gallant we agree,
But in our ase the world seems TO have lost
It's sense of distinction, and laughs at us all
The time, differentialing not between the
smile or the tear. But we poets have the sin.
gular faculty of Hopping over to the majority
side OF any question when 1t is discreet. So,
as one of that ilk, and knowing that its meth
