THE WILMINGTON' POST WILMINGTON. N. C, SEPTEMBER 5 I860. Wchave resurrected the following ancient poem," attired it in a new and fasliionable dress and 6ervcd it up for the delectation of those who read this corner. For the satisfaction of the cu rious we will observe that the original is not to be found among the Percy Rcliques. . ' DEBORAH LEE. 'Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all." 'Tis a dozen or bo of years ago, ' Somewhere in the South countree, Where all the sweet maidens be, Thatanice girl ljved, as few of you know,' By the natne of Deborah Leo; -Her uame was loved by Edgar A. Poc, (He wrote on her death a poem or bo- Annabel Lee she was called, you know ;) But Deborah by me j . Yes, Deborah by me ! ! - -Now I was green and she was green As a Summer squash might be, But we loved as warmly as1 othcrifolks, I and my Deborah Lee Adorable Deborah Lee : With a love that the lovers ot Dixie land 1 Envied both'her and me. ' ' j The-roses 6lept in her dimpled cheeks, . And laughed on her lovely lip, While the bumblebee made mistakes sometimes, And hummed around for a sip , 6f the sweets y hat iloated but on the breath . ; Of my radiant Deborah Lee, And, innocent fool, was flapped to death, For daring to steal from me- 'To steal such Bweets from me ! - - - . ? But somehow it happened long ago ' lu the sickly south countree In the aguoish south countree That a chill March morning gave the shakes j To my beautiful Deborah Lee ; They shook the roses out of her cheeks, And silenced her maiden glee, And the grim steam doctor (cuss lriiln) came c And bofc her away from me-? The Doctor and Death, old partners they, . In the agueisli south countree. The angels wanted her up in heaven, . (But they never asked tor me No, never an ask fpr me !) And that is the reasonj" I rather guess, That the cold March wind, and the Doctor and ' Death, Took oif my Deborah Lcc, j From the warm sunshine and the opening flow crs, . The innocent birds and the laughing hours, And Jjorc her away from me. Our love was as strong as a six-horse team, Orthe love .of folks older than we, . And possibly wiser than we;: But Death, with the aid of Doctor and steam, : Was rather too many for me ; - 3.o he closed the peepers and stopped the breath, Of my sweetheart, Deborah Lee. 4ler miniature still to my heart I fold, But over my love a 6tone is roll'd, , And her form lies cold in the graveyard mold Silent and cold an me! . , Th e foot ol the squirrel shall press her grave, And the sweet, wiul southern llowers, tlieir odcrous beauty arouiul it tv.'aye Through all the summer hours. ' The. still, bright summer hours; d the birds shall sing in the tufted grass, And the nectar laden bee, In. r m th a dreamy hum on his gauze wings pass,' But she wakes no more lor me Ah ! nevcrmorcfor me. . ? The breeze shall sing in the summer night Her requiem soft and slow. ; And the moon 6hall shimmer its silver light ; On the ;silent spot below j. I he spot where she sleeps below : iut she will not mind the hymn of the wind, For the Doctor and Death and the dratted steam, illava made her as deaf as a hickory beam, And blind as a lunch oi hay The poorest kirjd of hay. f Oil 'Ypt oft in the hush of the dim, still night, A irlorious vision 1 see, Gliding solt, to my bedside, a phantom oi light, " Dear, bcautitul Deborah L.ee My bride that was to be; 1 And I Svake to mourn that the Doctor and Death And the cold March wijjd should stop the breath Ot my darUug Deborah Lee ; Tliat tlio nniri'la Rlimilrl want.

KV SATURDAY NIGHT THE POOR OLD MAN. ;'; .'-'We 6ur,.t hm this afternoon at four o clock. y 'ust put the city, in a corner of the f grave yat l, Wk,,.c tl. AVceds. more tender than liowcrs, gru, Jank aud ci0se over the -poor. Last baturu niglit we saw.hiui on ...the street, sIowly:ang! to a cheap home Seventy-eight years qhnd u0 houJc of bi3 jown ; not a child oracluiao sivc hm wel. come atnight, but all waLgto bid him " good morning" over yond 0n the flower ; lined bank. . , ' Ho never begged. A ,sad, strange look was always upon him. Yet he was not cross nor ugly. He was cheerful, and would sit for hours talking to little children, and watching them at play. At times a few' tears would drop from. his eyes, to be wiped from his furrowed cheek on the back ot his -vri in kiea nana, no no - --uxmsv back on ' the prairie a half-hovel affair and no one lived with him. Sundays the children would, visit him, riind bring water 'from a distant well, and wood by the arm full. He gave them nothing but kind words, but they brought him bread, and meat, and fruit, and papers from our sanctum $ and when he was too. lame to go out, the boys and girls would wait on aim. sometimes he would sit by the hour telling stories to his little friends. He told the boys how to make arrows, and kites, and cross-guns. And he told them how to cure, their sore toes and sore lingers, and when to fish and that it was wrong to be ugly and cross Tuesday evening one of the bdys fame and wanted us tq go out to Uncle Benny s cabin, for he was sick. We found him on hi f cot, very low and feeble, A cruel fever ws warring upon that old body Then we went for a physician, and with the old man stayed till morning, when others came. His little friends brought oranges and lemons ' iellies and wines from tneir j nomes. " i clean sheet was -put under him another over him -cooling drinks were given him anxious iaces were an iuuuu - dav morning just as the8ua Jjbove the bluff, cast of the city, his head Slowly fell back his mouth opened, there was a rattle in his throat, and as the sunshine struck the little cabin his soul went out, riding on the golden beams of a new life.; Gently we gave him the! winding sheet, and more carefully combed than usual was the straggling hair which wanted to creep down oyer his forehdadi toMsee? if ' the eyes were neVer more to epen. And a few kind women made him a shroud, slighting never a part thereof. And a few men! bought a neat coffin, paid the sexton, and this after noon, meta and women, and boys: and girls, slowly walked behind him to his rest. We have attended burials, but never 1 saw more tear-filled eyes than when the little ones looked for the last time upon XJncle Benny, I il. -aa i! s i. i 1 X- l aa me comn-ua was opened just ueiuie uc Was lowered to the great rest,! No one knew him other than as Uncle Benny, though for years he had come and gone with his crutch. His face was noble, yet sad in its death-look, but it was not ot suffering. And we went with others back to the silent cabin. How more thanj lonely it seemed! Two chairs taken from a neigh bor's house on which to rest the j coffin. 1 A quaint old arm chair, with a piece of worn sheepskin for cushion. A little old stove, a few tin dishes ; an old box serving purpose of table and chest a few old garments in pieces, some liniment in a bottle, and a few little articles worth nothing. " What shall we do with then! ?" " Oh, you take them look them over and do as you please, said they." j ! In a corner of the chest was an old Bible badly torn. And a little box, very, very old, as if made by a boy years ago. It would hold a quart perhaps. It was tied seven times around with a piece .of stout cord like a chalk line. In it were a pair of dingy silk gloves, once white, but now faded into a sickly yellow. They were much too small for his hands And a very old needle or pin-cushion of black cloth, the size of an apple. And a letter, old, dingy, greased, and creased, folded in a piece ot soft leather. And a plain gold-ring, not much broader than the line of life in 'our palm. The letter was too old to read. Its age no one could tell. But in it on a thick piece of thick paper, in ink, long since bleached into faintest lines, we read : Married In Albany, May G, 1813, Bajamin Waldower to Elizabeth Van Dora. And this was all. But it told its own story. Then we turned the paper over, to read written on the back of it; the lines al most indistinct. Died In Newbury, February 17, 1814, Elizabeth Woldower and infant son. The story of a lite ! Poor old man. . And this was his . treasure ; that was the riDg. Oh, how long the years must have seemed while he was waiting to go to his loved ones ! And have they grown old there as he did here f- Will he find them as they went, or have they felt years added where there are no years? j :( But will it not be grand when we can, at appointed time, solve the wondrous mys tery, and know that of which we now know nothing ? When we shall have pierced the veil, and gone home to rest withj the loved ones there waiting? j Who would fear to die or dread death ? Surely not those who have long been true to and waited for the rejoining of the loved ones. If he had only told us his story ! ; All over the laud are poor old men, who have loved ones as we love, who have been young have with beating hearts, held heads upon- bQSoms, and lingered to revel in the perlume of kisses taken from lips, perhaps, long since gone, as we must all go! The old men were once young. They laved, and longed for twilight hours, as do those who now watch and wait the expected coming, and the years crept slowly them, leaving line upon line, j care care, joy upon joy, but more sorrows sorrows. But is it not terrible-this ing to join those you love 1 yaitin coming of the dear ones of the heart. upon Upon upon wait er th n o - HOurs days weeks mouths years come and go while the weary, hungry soul, ever reach ing for something not given it here on earth, doubts, fears, then hopes in the fullest of faith concerning 4the meeting and rejoicing in the eternal land, where there will be no more unfilled desires, for they rest forever in the grave. . . ; Let us all be good to the poor old men God only knows what they have suffered, or when their hopes were bnried. We-are all growing oldr-arc all going home, and it may be those we despise on earth will be our guides and patterns in the future. Be kind to the aged. A few more Saturday nights is all they will be with us, even if their presence should bother; and annoy those who are utterly selfish. God only knows how much they sorrow and suffer. Let us. make them happy. Let us be kind to each other. Uncle Benny was poor a poor old man but he died rich. We all paid tearful tributes to his memory. He was kind. He was deserving. He was not a miserly, selfish, sordid old man, just like many who live and die, leaving not one sin- cere mourner. And as we grow old. may we all be like him in having a blace in the hearts of those who follow, us in proper time ! We'd rather sleep beside him in that quiet corner, than under the marble monu ment of a cold, ?clfish man ; lor he would be better company in the city of the dead, and in the hereafter, where there is a happy re union for all who love here on earth. From the El. Paso (111.) Journal. SUSAN'S SISTER IN THE FAR WEST. Horrible Onsloujrht on a Country Editor in Illinois He has a Prolonged De bate on the Woman Question Lot's Wife in an Editor's Chair. I was sittin in my office, speculatin' in my own mind whether on the whole it wouldn't be best for me to give myselt away Lfor tlif bpnofit of mv fnpnilrr rvhmn kv-A ttlame a knock at me door. There, says,T, is some one anxious to sub scribe for the El Paso Journal, so I uttered in a loud voice, 1 Come in.' She was dressedjin a pair of store boots and an iron gray set of r spectacles, and she walked, up to me with majesty in her mien. I knew v ho it was; the minute I set my eyes on her. It was a woman. I gracefully arose and said, ' How are you, maam, was you wishing to subscribe to the El Paso Journal?-'' at the same time dip pirr my pen in the ink and openin' my sub scription book. This alwuz gits 'cm. It looks like bizness. It didn't git her. She fixed her glassy eyes on me and said: 'Young man, are yew an advocate for the holy caws of woman's rights ?' 4Nomaam,' said I, 'I am a Presbyte rian.' . ' 'Air you,' she said, 'prepared to embark with us over the sea of equal suffrage ?' i ' Maam,' said I, 'I haiut no objection to , takin' a quiet sail with you, provided the boat ain't leaky, and you'll do all the row in.' ' A smile perused her features for a moment, and then she said, ' I am willing ' to suffer for the caws.' j ' Yes,' said I, in a polite and soltcninin' manner, ' It'll only cost two dollars, and we'll send it to any address for an entire year.' . v , j . . . . 'Hev you a wife?' she askedj 'I hev,' said I, wonderin' what she was comin' at. 'So that you see I couldn't' marry you ef I.wanted to ever so much. I threw this in as a soother. Air vou willin' that she should share LIT J UU W 1 1 1111 VUBIt BUO SUUUIU ouui w. you the burdens and trials of life ? in't no ways pertikler,' said I, " an' I'l With let her shoulder the whole of 'em cf she has a hankering' that way.' "Wood you consent that she should go to the poles V said she. She can go where she pleases,' said I, 'She ginnerly duz.' Yew air & hole sold man,' said she, and throwin' her arms around my neck, laft wildly. 'Git out, said I, what air yC up to? I aint one of them men. Stop.' After much labor I succeeded in unlooss ening her hold and sit her down in a chair. I judged from her conduct that she stood in need of a few moral observations. 'Yoo air an impulsive femail,' said I. 'Yoor nature is at once spontaneous and outbreaking Yoo need a. pair of martin gails. Consider what would be your state ef a man's wife was to catch yoo a huggin' of him in this stile.' She wiped her face with her dress. She had on a dress. 1 forgot to mention this fact in speaking of her spectacles. 'I am a worker in the caws of Women's Rights.' - 'Yes,' said I, lyoo air. Yoo ought to be ashamed of yourself. I should judge yoo was one of them lobby women that the Chi cago Tribune correspondents tels of. But yoo can't come yoor nefarious airs over me. I'm stealed against 'em.' . 'I should be pleased,' she said, 'to go arm m arm with yoo to the poles.' No yoo don't, said I, in alarm ; 'not et 1 have anything to say in the matter. I won't go with yeo not a single darned pole.' : 'Young man,' said she, hast thou chil dren?' 'I hey,' said I, 'seven of 'em. Can yoo show as good a record ?' 'Wood yoo,' said she, 'hev your girls grow up and be married to base, sordid men, who would take away their political rites and allow 'em no faanchises V 'Darn the franchises,' says I in a rage ; 'they are the things that women put on be hind to give 'en the Grecian bend. Ef my daughters fever go to wearin' 'em ' 'No, no,' said she, 'they are panniers.' 'Well,' said I, 'panniers or franchises, or whatever yoO call'em, I am opposed to'em. They are onnatural and humpty. They de grade the human form into the likeness of la camel, and bring lovely women down on jail fours like a cat.' L 'Then,' said she, 'come with me, and we will anticipate women from the slavery of dress.' 'No,' said' I, with severity, 'I hev no wish to take the close away from any woman. Wimmen without close would be a sad spec tacle, particularly in winter when the howl ing blasts prevail. Who are you, any way ? I asked of my visitor. 'I am a pilgrim,' the said. 'I belong to the 'Agitator, a noospaper devoted to the caws of femail suffrage in Chicago.' 'Well, said I calmly, 'the wimmin in Chi cago need something of this sort. Where them that air married never no on goin to bed at night but what on wakin' up in the m ornin' they may be divorced, and them that ain't married and tlivorced within a month. The wimmin of Chicago need agitatin' powerfully. Keep a stirrin' on em up, if you please. The more you agitate, the better for'em.' With these words I arose, and telling her to set still until my return, I stole softly down stairs. I have not been back since. What will be the effect of leavin' a femail agitator sittiu' in my seat the whole of this time I do not know, but if she waits until I go back her patience will be of cast iron. Gen.
