After I Die.
What caro I then, if the bright summer nun j
With its enthroning sky of cloudless blue,
And Bweet-voiced fountains' softly falling
spray,
Reflecting on its beauty many a hue.
Shine not for me.
Full well I know tho earth wiU be as green
In tho sweet summer, and the flower? as '
fair,
Tho sky ass cloudless and the nilvery
sheen
Of falling waters vet as rich and rare.
* - Though not for mo.
F ?hall exult in freedom like a bird
Lone caged, and eager for an upward
flight; j
With no regret my soul will then be stirred,
Though the dark splendor of the jew?
elled night,
His starry jewels beaming golden light,
, Beam not for me.
The solemn anthems of the sounding sea,
The moon-lit beauty of its blooming isles,
Where all the year the South wind breezes
blow,
And beauteous uaiuro in its verdue
smiles;
These things may speak to other hearts
than mme,
Yet dwelling on the troubled sea of time,
If not for me.
The kindly greetings of tho friend to
friend.
The cordial hand clasp and the smiling
brow;
The gentle glance that love-thoughts ever
lend,
And tender words, BO soothing, soft and
low;
These may spring up, as violets by the
way.
To gladden other hoarts in their brief
day,
If not for me.
But, oh, the unrecorded, untold bliss
That may be mino in yonder brighter
sphere,
The glad re-union and tho welcome kiss,
That I dare hope will end my journey
here,
Will bo more precious and more perfect
joy
Than earthly friendships, with their rude
alloy,
Can give to me.
Though earth may pass away and be no
more,
Her landscapes fade before my closing
eye,
And those to come forget that long before
Their present time I had laid me down
to die,
The brighter beauties of immortal day
ifay sweep each lingering thought of
grief away
And this for me.
Bill Arp to Mr. Tammany Hall.
MTLI?EDGEVTX?IJE, Feby, 1866.
Dear Tammany:
You are a glorious old feller. You've
got a heart-a great big heart-and
if you were here I would exclaim in
the langdwage of my unkle Billy,
" put your hand in mine, honey, and
kiss me." "We are whipd at last, old
Tammany. We rebs are conquered,
subjugated, not by bayonets or bul?
lets, but by your frendly overtures,
your manly speeches. You and Sun?
ny South Cox and Company have
captured us, taken us prisoners, and
we are now as dosile as we have been
hostile. Dident I tell you that we
would meet you on half-way grown ?
Dident we stretch forth our arms for
sympathy, and wasent we about to
turn'away in defiance and despair for
the want of it ?
* ' We spred the mantle of oblivion
over the past. If you of the South
have the spirit to accept, we of the
North have the heart to tender you
the offises of kindness. We will help
you plant again the seed, whose per?
fect leaves, flowers and fruits shall be
yours with ours to enjoy."
Did Mr. Cox say that, old Tamma?
ny, and did you clap your hands and
say ongkore ?"
" We are to-day arrayed against the
contention concerning the black race,
and are looking forward to the white
race for the welfare and greatness of
our country." And dident you say
that, too, old Tammany ? and dident
all hands jewbilee and exclaim "that's
it, them's 'em, that's the doktriue, the
nigger may be a big fish, but the
white man is a whale." And dident
you all take another drink on that,
Mr. Tammany? Wish some of us
rebs had been there, old fel, jest to
have teehd tumblers with you. Thank
the Lord that there are good men
North of Dixey. There's a heap of
'em here, Mr. Hall, and their hearts
are jumpin aud a bumpin and a
thumpin as big as yours. Their hearts
were castles, and their buzzums sita
dels, but you have taken 'em. Dont
be alarmed, dont reseed, dont take
back mithin; be kalin and sereen, and
we of the rebellious South will wipe
out the last spark of hatred to such
as you. We are. now wipin away tho
curses that were upon our lips. We
are risin up from our humiliation, and
like strong men are shakin the dust
from our garments. Think of it, Tam?
many, What a glorious sight to see
a bravo peepul lifted up-a whole na?
tion of white folks rekonsiled. What
spirit, what gost, what inspiration
folk you how to reach us ? How did
you know that we was weak where we
was strong, in the same secret corner
of our buzzums ?
You've got us, Tammany, and we'll
respond to you, we'll reinforce you.
We've said some hard things, Mr.
Hall; we've tried to skorch, and blis?
ter and excoriate, but; JU see we were
goaded, gored by bulls-Trumbulls
and Republican bulls. They bellerd
and wc pawed dirt. They punched
ns in the cage, and we growled. They
put tax under our saddles, and we
kicked. What else could we do ?
Jest think of it, Tammany. Ruined
and desolate, the people in mournin
and their homes in ashes-no luxuries
no comforts, no Christmas worth ?
cus, no Santa Claws, no nuthin ?
Could we lick the hand that laid us
low ?-nary time-no never. While
we was strugglin to rise from out the
wreck, to breath the ai^ above us, tQ
take an invoice and Kee if there -was
enuf left to live for, ourenemies were
a shoutin hit him, kick him, mash
him, smash him agiu.
We were then at the botton, Tam?
many. We didn't know there was any
lower deep, but our enemies were
nuntin, and they still are hunt-in
some deeper pit to put us in, and
som? pendulum of Poe to swing and
cut ns. Well, we ain't heathens,
we've been to meetin, we've seen mis
shionerys, we've got churches and
sermons, and hymn books and pray?
ers. We've got pious old men and
wimmen, and brave boys, and maid?
ens who are finished all the way up
like the corners of a temple. God
bless 'em, Tammany, partickler them
last, for in connection with them are
centerd the hopes of posterity and
the joys of our life. We've all got
hearts, old Tammany, and there's
many a good Samaritan among us
who wouldent pass you by and go
over on the other sile. We've got
charity, too, and long suffering, and
patience, and hope in abundance,
though we can't behove them radicals
will walk right straight into heaven
without knockin at the door. That
docktrine of elektion is a powerful
thing, Tammany, but as shore as you
are born it looks sorter unconstitu?
tional io us for them fellers to enter
the celestial city. They may pass
amendments enuf to do it, and I
reckon that's why they are a tinkerin
at the old dokument so loug; but
somehow or other, when I hear one
of 'em a dyin, my thoughts naterrally
have a downward tendency. I can't
help it, Tammany.
But maybe we'll get over sich feel?
ings. My wife says we will aUerwhile.
We are all right towards you, old
Hall, and our L?gislature have been
tryin for about two months to har?
monize things generally, and any
reasonable man ought to be satisfide
with the efforts they have made. But
we can't satisfy them radikals, I don't
care what we do. We elekted Mr.
Stevens and Hershel Johnsin to the
Senate, and they are mad abont that.
They wanted Josh Hill and Jeems
Johnson becaus they was Uh ion. Well
now, Mr. Tammany, its better al?
ways to take men who have done
su m thin than men who have done
nuthin. Mr. Hill deliverd his fare?
well address before he was bet, and
he said he would like to know why
wo sing hosanna to Andy Johnsin,
who fout agin us, and yet we won't
elekt him who dident. That's what's
the matter, Joshua, if I may be al
lowd to apostrofize you, you dident
take no side-at all. You say you can
take the test oath and git it. Well, I
don't see how exaktly. You run for
G svenor in sixty-three, and you writ
a letter agin rekonstruktion, and
compared the old Union io a porclain
vase that was broke, and couldent
never be mended agin-no, never.
And dont you know if you'd been
elekted you would have had to take
the oath of office, and oe^SWore tc
support the Constitution of' the Con?
federate States so-called, now de?
ceased. But you are smart Joshua,
and it was funny what you said to th?
General that night, when he axd yov.
if you would have taken that oath.
You pausd Joshua for nearly a minet
It was a mity tite question, considerir
the porcelain vase that was broke. ]
dont blame you forpausin, my friend
Finally says you, "Well-General-]
-I-dident--much-expect- to-b<
-elekted." Bully for you, Joshua
But now about that see saw bisnes:
you spoke of, you said in your speed
that you was playin see saw in poli
tix, and if your end of the planl
went down .' Georgy it would go u?
in Washin^ .a, by which I supposf
you meant that you was ready t<
swap ends jest to suit your pekulia:
seckumstauce; and that's what's tin
matter ngia Joshua. You have beei
see sawin too long and chaugin end:
too often. Twasent ao time to b<
swappiu bosses my friend.
But see here Joshua, Mr. Marshal
j may be a clever reporter, but hi
treated you badly. He's left out ?
heap of your speech. He aint hac
printed that see be saw figer at all
; and it was I assure you a most beau
j tiful metafor of speech. And hes lef
? out them little sparks of Southen
: patriotism which you emitted. How
! somever, may be these things wouh
i have been in the way of the Wbshin
'[ ion and of the see saw. I'll tell yoi
; my friend, where you wasted time ii
j your remarks. You said that if w
i dident elekt you now we might wan
j you hereafter, and- then we coulden
I git you. Dont worry yourself off ou
j akkouut. Dont cross the bridg
I before you git to it. It will be tim
I enuf Joshua, for you to refuse whei
! we ax yon. We bavent been runnii
i you down to give you oilis, and w
j aint a goin to. Do you see saw awa;
j on your plank, and take good car
j that you dont fall off. Your speed
was sorter spiteful Joshua, and if rc
1 duced to its gum would read ab on
I thus, "Boys Int a whale, lum, an
! Im a prophet, and if you dont elek
[ me to the Senate I'll go to Wash ir
: ton and give you the devil."
Well, we dident elect him, Mr
Tammany, and the devil may come
: In the landgwage of Patrick Henr;
'"let him come"-I repeat it, sui
"let him come. " There was anothc
; candidate, Mr. Hall, whose nam
; was Jeems Johnsin. Well, I lik
j Jeems purty well. He dident ru
i nobody down, nor put on airs. I moi
j have voted for him if he had lived i
; the State, and I hadent liked Hei
?shel better. The truth is, 1 wc
! partial to Jeems for bis "old lan
j sine. " He was a powerful war ho?
1 in sixty-one. How glorious he figei
ed at the Columbus war uieetins. He
encouraged the boys am az in, and he
boat anybody a git tin volunteers.
How proud wo was of him that night,
when he and Colonel Sims made
friends on the stand, and the Colonel
pind a seceshiou cockade upon Jeeras'
coat collar. Ho then got inspired,
an'3 spoke for two hours in words that
bv-athed of ditches and death, and
was full of tlie spirit of '76. His
watch-word were "Benning and se
ceshion," and ho voted for em both.
Oh, he's a whale in gettin up a war.
Alas! he were sik semper, then, but he
are sik transit now. So mote it be. Mr.
Tammany; I couldent help it. How
sumever, it don't matter much I
reckon, for we've got another John
sin, and they are a high roostin
family, shore.
Now you understand the trouble,
Mr. Tammany, about this elektion.
We was huntin for two full Jblooded
Union men who could find their way
to "Washington and back without a
way bill, and we couldent find em.
They aint in the State, I tell you. So
we fell back upon the old land marks,
we are ridin the old wagin bosses,
and our opinion is, that Andy wont
raise any row in partikler about it. If
lie does, we don't care a darn. Yours
truly, BILL ARP.
P. S.-I'm gittin to be highly loyal,
Mr. Hall, I kuow I am; for a feller
tried to sell me a little nigger to-day,
and I wouldent buy him. I heard of a
bill that's coming up to bind out the
niggers for ninety-nine years, and
I'm agin it. Darnd if I'll vote for
more than fiftyi You can tell Thad.
Stevens of these hopeful signs.
