Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain travel,
Where lie those happier hills and meadows low--Ah,
if beyond the spirit's inmost cavil,
Aught of that country could we surely know, '
Who would not go?
: Might we but hear
The hovering angel's high imagined chorus
Or catch, betimes, with wakeful eyes aid clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before us ,
With one rapt moment given to 6ee and hear,
Ah, who would fear ?
'. Were we quite sure ' . .
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were love-lit only,-
This weary mortal coil were we quite sure,
, Who would endure ?

faithfurr according to that letter of the
Bibleoich reads; "Servants, be obedient

' Xin ay my hand upon my. heart to-day,

or from wherever else it may. "Whenever
it comes to my making choice between
white men, I shall prefer those of my own
section to all the carpet-baggers in the
v world. Laughter and applause. There
aint very much difference between white
men and Yankees, laughter, and wher
ever you find it at all you'll find it in the
white; man's favor. White folks are all
cut pretty much out of tho same cloth, and
both sections havo made their love for the
niggers subserve their own interests, as
all men are selfish by nature and can't
help it, ,and I lan't blame them.
When the late war broke out, I am free
to' acknowledge, I was mighty glad of it.
1 somehow felt that my freedom was
going;to come out of it some way or oth
er, and; as I am, perhaps, as selfish as a
white man, "I tell you didn't do well, I

iv like to know where the carpet-bagger
got hia forty acres 1 lou all remember,
the devil took tho Lord up into a high
mountain, and promised if ho'd fall down
and serve him he'd give him tho wholo
world, and the old Bcoundrel knew all the
time he didn't own a foot of land on the
continent. Great laughter. j j
Tho carpet baggers ask me to cast my
vote to keep tho white folks down. Now
all I ever wanted was to get on a level
with the white man. I never wanted to
get abovo him. They say a nigger is bet-
ter than a wnito man in v;incincaiu well,
that may be the truth in Cincinnati.
But it am t true down here, it is my in
terest to stand by the Southern man, and
it'd my wish, too. Whatever law is mado
to effect tbe whito man's plantation also
effects my little cotton-patch in tho samb
way. The three-cent tax on cotton hurts
me worse than it docs the whito man.
But it puts money in the Yankee's pocket.
They want to disfranchise the whito
man, and make the nigger put them into
office, that they may havo taxes and things
their own way. They never would havo
passed a law allowing niggers to voto if
