DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA SUNDAY MORNING, JULY is, 1S86.
I heard this tramp pray,
And what did he say
Oh, tlodl gracious Ood: let mo die!
To his destiny wed,
He longed to be dead;
Was lie telling the truth or a lie/
No; a horrible ghoul
Is haunting Ills soul;
Death only can bring him respite;
Prom pitiless grief
He can tlnd no relief—
He's awaiting oblivious night.
He came to my door,
i'n le, ragged and poor,
Xml asked tor a morsel ofbread;
He was only a tramp,
And may be a scamp,
Perhaps 'twero best he was dead.
Yet give him the bread;
Who knows but that head
Once nestled on bosom of snow,
Or may be his love
Is an angel above—
It's a mercy to pity him now.
His clothing is old,
He trembles with cold,
Mayhap he once had a home,
A happy, bright life,
With baby and wife,
Who’d kiss him and smile when he’d come.
Perhaps in a freak
Of frenzy, this weak,
Erring son of humanity fell;
By gaming and drink
He awoke on the brink
Of passion’s insatiable hell.
Then lie drank to forget
The remorse and regret
For the faithful, fond heart he’d broken;
Like others he sank,
Like others he drank
To crush out of life every token
Of the once happy life
Of the baby anil wife,
Of the home and the pure precious woman,
Her soft pleading eyes,
Her patience and sighs,
And his own wrecked conduct inhuman.
This wretch had a mother,
That makes him your brother,
Don't drive the poor creature away.
He hasn’t a dime,
But is tliut a crime?
A crime to be penniless? Nay!
The noblest of Ood
Once penniless trod
Life's thorny, uncheerful path,
For love and regard
His only reward
Was human injustice and wrath.
He loved unto death,
And with his last breath
Told tile thief that soul-tuuchiug story.
Which angels above,
In a rapture of love,
Applauded in anthems of glory.
NUMBER SEVEN.

Any Signitleiince.or is II Merely a Coincidence—
A ( oiTcspoiidcnt Figures Out .Numerous Coiiihin-

The frequent occurrence of the number

not correct—Springfield Globe.

u M,“h°t r n °u l h i e w f°?F* outrages to
in w V . he I’ ess Indians of the west arc
M bjcctcd is told by Wm. Justin Harsha
1 ,? U ,®S moving and realistic phrase as can
“ot fail to enlist the sympathies of every
generous heart. Purporting to recount the
causes of a recent Indian uprising, it haa
,” aH . is ln that iniquity ot the United
Mates law whereby an Indian is debarred
nil right of protection to his goods or prop-
'•rty save such ns may be accorded by n
more or less incompetent and unjust agent
~ny which an Indian may not seek for
justice in anv court, and which leaves him
no recource but war to redress his mutil-
piied and aggravat'd wrongs. N„ matter
how earnestly an Indian may strive for
civilization, may seek to lend a settled and
reputable life—lacking the privilege ac
corded the most ignorant negro, he may
be robbed almost with impunity, despoiled
of hard-won earnings or property by law
less ranchmen and cowboys; but there is
no law to meet his cose, no protection to
lum for life or limb, for home or family.
It is a shameful blot upon the fair fame of
a mighty nation.
The “Timid Brave” is a Christianized
Indian who long resists the incitements of
his brethren to revenge, and only when at
last bereft of wife, of child, of cabin
home, and all his little- store of accumu
lated Property, does he respond to the
tribal call for vengeance, which ends, as of
course do all such Efforts, in the discomfit
ure and still further oppression of the un-
happy and much-enduring red man.

Save t*i from I hr- War Story.
It is high time that the reading public
should arise in its wrath and ask the pub
lishers of the newspapers, weekly papers
and magazines whether it is not possible
to fill space without printing great sec
tions of the history of the war. Reminis
cences of veterans, reports of battles, “let
ters hitherto unpublished,” corrections
correcting corrections already corrected a
score of times, new points of view from
old battle pictures—they are in almost alt
newspapers that any one may pick up,
whileon Sundays, when men and women
who read at all are longing for some
change from the printed trash of the week,
papers fill whole pages with war stories of
one sort or another.—The Hour.

Wanted to See the Baby Lions.
One evening last winter a party at the
theatre were Igreatly annoyed by a child
behind, who kept up a steady fire of ques
tioning about the play, which happened to
be “The Lady of Lyons.” Finally the cli
max was reached when he inquired; “That
is Mr. Lyons, ain’t it? and that’s Mrs.
Lyons, ain’t it? well, now, I want to see
the baby lions.”—Life.
