I love to think of the dear old Mam my That nursed me in the days gone by, How she petted me, called me her lit tle Lammie Whenever I was sick or would cry. And she'd sing to me those quaint old songs, In the way her race alone can sing. And when I hear them sung now my ' heart longs To receive again her sweet blessing. God made her with an outward dark skin, The reason why I do not know, But underneath it her breast within Beat a heart as white as snow. .Of all people of earth there is no race, Look for them whereever you may, ' That will measure up to the negro in his place, With his happy good natured way. Patient, forbearing, they hold no malace . Against those who would oppress, Welcoming all to drink from their chalice, A friend to those in distress. All they ask is justice, contentment, and peace, And he judged by what in them is best, No social equality is asked, just pre judice cease, And a chance to live, labor and rest. If some have changed in character istics and color, Who should blush with shame? He didn't do it, so it does not fol low That he should bear the blame. W. G. S. nEATH. Millinery.
