THE MERRY-GO-ROUND.

When CHANGING to stand by merry.go-
round,
Some very queer things you observe.
You notice that men who conduct such
machines,
Don't need great deal for their
nerve"
You notice that white folks and black
folks alike,
Can ride at the times that you pay,
But when the Free ride for ladies', is
given,
white ladies are meant" they will
say.
You notice also, and you note it with pain
Though snubbed and insulted they be.
The black folks will patiently wait for
the lr turn,
Then mount the fake horses with glee.
One lesson from these observations is
learned
A lesson that Negroes should heed,
Ahelr comfort counts naught with the
wooden-horse men,
Their money is all that they need.
Why buy yourselves longer an unvel-
come place,
'Mongst those whom your presence
astCunds
Go run your own business, your banks
and your stores
And ride your own merry-go-r rounds.
