|' P??tjng of the Old Black Mammy ^
In the passing of the old bl^k
mammy one of the most loyal
and unique types of character
which the ante-bellum days produced
on the Southern plantation
has commenced to fade in the
dim retrospect of the years.
To the present generation of
youngsters this peculiar product
of the old South is unknown. So
much worse for them, in some
respects at least.
But the children of older
growth, whose stooped shoulders
and silvered locks are beginning
co ceu 01 aucumn clays, Knew well
the old black mammy and whenever
they recall her dusky image
to mind there gathers a moisture
in the eyes and a lump is felt in
the throat. The stories which
she could tell?the songs which
she could sing?their very names
were legion. She was childhood's
best friend in the old
days which will come no more.
But no higher eulogium was
ever paid to the old black mammy
or to the race which produced
her than was framed in the eloauent
speech of Henry Grady at
the Boston banquet in 1889; and
at the present time, when so
much is being said of the South's
hostility toward the negro, it will
be well to reproduce this utterance
of one to the manner born.
Said Mr. Grady:
"The love we feel for that
race you can neither measure
nor comprehend. As I attest it
here, the spirit of my old black
mammy from her home up there
looks down to bless me, and
through the tumult of this night
steals the sweet music of ner |
croonings as 30 years ago she :
held me in her black arms and ,
led me smiling into sleep.
"This scene vanishes as I
speak, and I catch a vision of an ,
old Southern home, with its lofty
pillars and its white pigeons
fluttering down through the
golden air. I see women with
strained and anxious faces and
children alert yet helpless. I
see night come down with its
dangers and its apprehensions,
and in a big lonely home I feel
on my tired brow the touch of
loving hands, now worn and
wrinkled, but fairer to me than
the hands of mortal woman and
stronger yet to lead me than the ;
hands of mortal men; and as:
they lay a mother's blessing'
there while at her knees?the
truest altar I have ever known? j
I thank God that she is safe in !
her sanctuary, because her |
slaves, sentinel in the silent
cabin or trnard nf i? ham hoi*!
door, put a black man's ioyalty
between her and danger.
"But I catch another vision.
The crisis of battle?a soldier
struck staggering, falls. I see
the slave, scuffling through the
smoke, winding his black arms
about the fallen form, reckless
of the hurtling death, bending
his trusty face to catch the
words that tremble on the stricken
lips, so wrestling meanwhile
with agony that he would lay
down his life in his master's
stead. I see him by the weary
bedside, ministering with uncomplaining
patience, praying
with all his humble heart, until
death comes in mercy and in
honor to still the soldier's agony
and seal the soldier's life. I see
him by the open grave, mute,
motionless, uncovered; suffering
for the death of him who in
life fought against his freedom.
I see him when the mound is
heaped and the great drama of ;
his life is closed turn away, and
with downcast eyes and uncer-;
tain steps, start out into new and
strange fields, faltering, struggling,
but moving on until his
stumbling figure is lost in the
light of a better and brighter
day. And from the grave comes
a voice saving Follow him! Put
your arms about him in his need, !
even as he puts his about me. I
