BT THE AUTHOR OP PRIZE POEM
ON THE CONFEDERATE DEAD. ?
.. In the Chesapeake and her tribute'
streams, r" '?'>*'
Where broadening ont to the bay
thej come,
And the great fresh waters meet the
i .* brine,
' 1?? Thoje swims a fish that is called the
dram
A fish of wonderful beauty and force,
That bites like a steel trap aud pulls
like a horse.
He is heavy of girth at the dorsal fin,
Bnt tapering downward keen and
thin;
Long as ? salmon,' if not so stout,
And springy and swift ?s the moun?
tain trout;
For often at night, in a sportive
mood,
He comes to the brim of the moonlit
flood,.
And tosses a glittering onrve aloft,
Like tbe silver bow of the God-then
soft
He plashes deliciously back in the
spray,
And tremulous circles go spreading
away.
Down by the marge of the York's
broad stream,
An old darkey lived, of the ancient
regime,
His laugh was loud, though his lot
was low,
He loved his old master, and hated
his hoe.
Small and meagre was this old Ned,
For many long winters had frosted
his head
And bated his force and vigor;
But though his wool all white had
become,
And his face wrinkled up like a wash?
woman's thnmb,
And his back was bent, ho was
thought by some
A remarkably hale old nigger.
But he suffered, he said, with a steady
- attack
Of ''misery in de head and pain in
de back,
Till his old master gave him his
time to himself,"
And the toil-worn old bondsman -was
laid on the shelf.
Though all philanthropists clearly
can see ?
The degrading effects of slavery,
I can't help thinking that this old
creature
Was a great advance on his African
nature, .
And straighter of shin and thinner
of lip
Than his grand-sire that came in
the Yankee ship.
Albeit bent with the weary toil,
Of sixty years on a "slave-trodden"
soil,
Untaught and thriftless and feeble
of mind,
His life was gentle, his heart was
kind;
He lived in a house, he loved his
wife,
He was higher far in his hopes and
his life,
And a nobler man, with his hoe in
his hand,
Than an African prince in his
native land.
Tor perhaps the most odions thing
upon earth
Is an African prince in the land of
his birth,
With his negative calf and his convex
shin,
Triangular teeth and his pungent
skin,
So bloated of body, so meagre of
limb, .
Of passions so fierce and of reason so
dim.
So oruel in war, and so torpid in
peace,
So strongly addicted to entrails and
grease,
So partial to eating by morning light
The wife that had shared his reposo
over-night;
In the blackest of black superstitions
down-trod,
In his horrible rites to his beastly
god,
With their bloody and loathsome and
hideous mystery
But that has nothing to do with the
fish-story.
Happy old Edward-his labor was
done,
With nothing to do but sit in the sun,
And free to follow his darling wish
Of playing his fiddle and catching
his fish.
He had earned bis play-time with
labor long,
And so, bke the other old Ned of the
song,
"He laid down the shovel and tho
hoe,"
And caught up the fiddle and the
bow.
Now I cannot say
That his stylo of play
Would suit tho salons of the present
_ day.
For the tours de force of the great
Paganini
Have never found favor in old Vir
ginny.
He never played a tune that went
slow,
For he perfectly scorned an adagio,
But with eyes half closed, and a time
beating too,
His elbow squared, and his resinous
bow
Not going up high, nor going down
low,

For the South did certainly try her

To rescue them from the philanthro?

of history
But that lins nothing to do with the
fish-story.
To return, old Ned wont fishing one
day,
And out on the blue,
In his dug-out canoe,
He carried his fiddle along to play.
Long he fished with his nicest art,
There came not a nibble to gladden
his'heart;
So ho tied his line to his anklo tight,
To be ready to haul, if a fish should
bite,
And seized his fiddle. So sweet did
he play,
That the waves leaped up in a laugh
of spray.
And dimpled and sparkled as if to
move
To invisible water-nymphs dancing
above,
Reminding one, as he fiddled there,
Of the churruing little Venetian air
'Pescator deW onda-Fidulin. '
But slower and slower he drew tho
bow,
And soft grew tho music, sweet and
low,
The lids fell wearily over tho eyes,
The bow-arm stopped, and the melo?
dies;
The last strain melted along the deep,
And Ned, the old fisherman, sank to
sleep.
Just then a huge drum, sent thither
by fate,
Caught a passing glance at the tempt?
ing bait,
And darted upon it with greedy maw,
Aud ran tho hook in his upper jaw.
One terrible jerk of wrath and dread
From tho wounded fish as away he
sped,
With a strength by rage made dou?
ble,
And into the water went old Ned,
Not time for any 'last words' to bo
said,
For the waves settled plaoidly over
his head,
And his last remark was a bubble.
Let us veil the struggle beneath the
brine,
Of the darting fish and the tangling
line.
The battle, of course, was a short
one, since
Old Ned, not gifted with gills or fins,
And down in the waves, was as much
out of place
As a mermaid wonld be in a trotting
race;
And motionles soon at the bottom he
lay,
As mute as the fiddle that floated
away.
They were washed ashore by the
heaving tide,
And the fishermen found them side
by side,
In a common death and together
bonnd
In the line that circled them round
and ronud,
So looped and tangled together,
That their fate was involved in a dark
mystery,
As to which was the catcher, and
which tho catch oe;
For the fish was hooked hard and
fast by the gill,
And tho darkey was lassoed around
the heel,
And each had died by the other!
And the fishermen thonght it could

NOW IS THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT

THE WEEKLY GLEANER,
A LAKOE EIOIIT-PAOE JOURNAL OF
NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
An excellent Taper for Country Roading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE OIIEAT FIOnT
AGAINST RADICAL, USURPATION.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
thc rehabilitation of the South in its former
prosperity-ie offered to subscribers at the
low rate of $1.50 for six months.
The annals of the American Republio
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and tho mo?
mentousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very lifo of free government is on trial,
and it will bo a sad commentary on tho
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, tho jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce a verdict of
8olf-condcmnation. DJ tho South has any
hope it ia in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
tho progress of tho battle, and cannot
afford to bo without a sound and reliablo
nowspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo?
cratic priac'plcs, but as a vehicle of ge?
neral news, tho GLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A largo
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filled with tho contributions of able cor?
respondents, tho daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and readable edi?
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuBO tho Northern mind
of tho falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is tho
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison tho springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In thib view of the
matter, no moro valuable aid to tho true
reconstruction of thc country and restora?
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
tho South can be rendered than by sub?
scribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and
Rending it to acquaintances and friends in
tho Northern States.
Wo ask tho aid of such of our political
comrades as shall BCO this prospectus, in
the distribution of tho paper; ??pecit?y
during tho progrcas of the impending
campaign.
t? The WEEKLY GLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single subscribers at fS.00 per ai.um; Six
Months, $1.50; Threo Months, 75c; Singlo
