His Nature and Analysis Discussed and , Defined. \ Kcmarknlili'S|iccliiicii Once Kuunii In Coluniltus Unrnum In (ill Him f«r Ills flusi'iiiii A Tnini|> HcmtIIiviI Iij One wlm Ims StnillcJ tin- tluIUl—A Plea for the Truoiii. for (Inil II,ole Him. 1 Columbus seems to be remarkably free ! from tramps at present. This may be at- i tributed more to the season of the year j than to any decrease of their num- I bar. For, like his distant cousin, the mill- 1 ionaire, whom he can imitate as well as | envy, the tramp spends his summer north and his winter south. The tramp is the most interesting croa- ; ture now running wild. Let us analyze i and consider him. The tramp is the pe- i culiur product of our American civiliza- j tion. He is an excrescence which has ; risen wart-like and unbidden upon the surface of the body politic. He is sui gen- 1 eris. He has neither counterpart nor com- ; panion on eartli nor in the waters under it. He. is “nobody’sdarling,” and nobody cares for him—except the policeman. He resembles the wind in one. respect—it is uncertain where he came from and whither tie is going. Like the mule, whose aversion to work lie shares, lie is without pride of ancestry or hope of posterity. His character is a moral medley of STRANGE AND CONTRADICTORY TRAITS. He will tight if you impeach bi.s veraci ty; and he will steal the nails out of a bar rel-hoop if you give him a chance. He isla democrat in one town and a republican in another; he is a devout believer in Chris tianity to-day, and a roaring infidel to-mor row; his conscience is a regular kaleido scope, and the changes are adapted to his surroundings, the main object always be ing a sufficiency of rations and grog. In regard to edibles, he is easy to please. He loves cold victuals with an ardor that ap proximates sentimentalism itself; and when, by the pale light of an autumnal moon, he stands at twilight upon the sward in the park, like Agomemnon on the eve of battle, and holds one end of a second-hand hock-bone in his greasy fist, and the other between his grinding mo lars, the sound of his gnawing is like the music of many waters. The tramp, wliat* e\ er else may be said of him, eats the bread of toil all the days of his life, it ain't hi.s toil, of course; but there's nothing mean about him; he is satisfied with the bread. But when it comes to the nerve-tuning pleasure! of the flowing bowl the tramp takes a stand on higher ground, lie is particular to the last degree about his bev erage. Not what sort it is. but how much it is. He is opposed to the homeopathic school. When he empties the decanter into a goblet, ttirows back his head and bends his elbow, there is nothing for the bystander to do but watch “THE SWALLOWS HOMEWARD KEY." When this little performance is concluded the tramp’s eyes look like he has swallow ed a torchlight procession; but he is only weeping fur more worlds to comjuer, more drinks to take. Drink is all the world to him. A tramp has beer, known to thrive and fatten on whisky which was so mean that one drink of it swallowed by a decent man Would stop his watch from running. The barkeepers say there never has been but oik tramp in Columbus who did not drink. He received an otter from Barnum to go along in the museum car with the woolly mule and the white elephant; but lie declined the otter and stuck to his old business, which was to sit at a crossing and sing for pennies. His singing was be in'w ordinary, but he attracted large crowds and made money rapidly. Like all great actors and singers, he had a secret which furnished the key of his success. The secret of his success was this; When he was warmed up to the business, and his singing machine, was running on full time, everybody who steppedup to drop a pe. ny in his hat; could look down his throat ai d seethe tacks in his boots. This tramp afterwards died in Tewksbury, Massachu setts, and one of the commissioners of the alms house in that city is now using 'nis lungs as a pair of trunk hinges. He was a lough customer, so to speak. TKAMI’S. AS A CLASS, are ‘hrii'.less, nameless and lnigiutury. One was never known to resign or become a renegade to the brotherhood. The leop ard may change his spots, and the Kthio- pian, after using much soap and sand and solicitude, may climb up a notch or two in the scale of com plexion; Ini’ the habits of tlie tramp t.r. like the laws of the .Modes and Persians. He is a death less foe to change. And when eventide overtake 8 him. whether it be til the forest wild or in the city full, whether it be in the blithe and gladsome springtime or in the hoary, freezing winter, if recks but little to him, for. with creation for his cov erlet and a cross-tie for a pillow, lie can sleep the sleep of the just. Like tile rest of us. the train]) has his loves and aver sions. Hut in purely personal mutters he allows his nrejudiccs to war]) bis judg ment. HE HATES WOMEN AND WOOD-SAWS because the former point him to the latter and repeat the primeval curse of man. "By the sweat of thy brow shult thou earn thy bread.” A tramp recently remarked with much feeling, that “no lady had ever , acted the gentleman toward him yet." In . tins instance he was borne out by the facts. He was also borne out by two lios- - nital employes on a stretcher when th, old wash-woman, to whom he made the . remark, was prized off his disfigured re- I mains. The tramp is neither a convert nor a follower of Horace Greeley. lie ; rarely dies like Greeley did, and he never goes west to grow up with the country, like Greeley told other people to do. He does not die. for fear it would be harder to shirk work in the next world than it is in this. And he declines the west with thanks; because, there the uncouth plow line is woven into a garland tor the neck of the ragged stranger, and the song of tut six-shooter is heard in the land. A trump may BE REFORMED AND DOMESTICATED if taken young. An instance of this kind once happened in Florida. A young man quarreled with his parents and left for Col orado, saying he would return as a mill- i niaire senulor. Two years later his father received this telegram fro u hi. ; “Dear father, please fill the following or der; ‘Fatted calf for one. Also meet me I on the edge of town after dark with a 1 suit of clothes. 1 have a hat.' ” THE AMERICAN TRAMP —and no other brand is genuine--has no definition and no baggage. lie came too late for the last dictionary revision, and was left shivering and hungry and unde fined on the charities of a .unless world. But the dictionary of in.- future will de scribe him as a “ ’Wanderer,’ soaked inside with whisky and outside with grease, and smoked and smutted, and multiplied by forty thousand.” The tramp has the right to pass free over all the railroads. He re turns this courtesy, extended to him by the corporations, by going slow around ail the curves and whistling at all the cross ings. People are never run over and kill ed on railroads by tramps. The tram; may have seen t he snail, but he met him; he did not overtake him. An old adage C - dares that every man is doomed to EAT A PECK OP DIRT before he dies. The tramp not only u - cepts this issue, but meets it halfway. Realizing that he is heir to this peck of dirt by nature, and desiring to provide for any emergency that may occur, lie- carries it conveniently distributed about his person where he can call the previous question on it at a moment’s notice. The heavens may pass away, and the earth may vanish like smoke, but amid the ,crock of matter and the crash of worlds, he'll save his peck of dirt. He and his peck of dirt are joined together, and nothing short of annihila tion can ever cut them asunder. In the history of the whole genus, only one tramp was ever known to die. He was buried by the county in which he died. And after he had been properly washed, it was found that dirt enough hud been removed from Ids body to bury him in, and it was done. It is sweet to a poetic mind to contemplate that the same sub stance which had so long been his raiment in life became his winding sheet in death. The writer did not witness this incident; but he heard a Charleston auctioneer re late it. And lie never knew one to tell a. lie unless it was absolutely necessary. But with all his foibles and faults, the trail p IS A Hl’MAX BEING. God made him. And he is aboard the same ship and bound for the same port as the rest of us. Sonic of us who laugh at him now may not laugh at him always. He may look differently when \ve cease to “see through a glass darkly.” Hi.s character may be a rudderless craft driven on by un seen hands. If he is a slave of passion, those passions are a part of him, and he did not make himself. The Omnipotence which gives wings to a bird will not damn it for Hying. The tramp goes through life like an arrow through the air. The cradle behind him is the bow out of which lie w as hurled, and the grave ahead of him is the target at which he is aimed. Let us not jeer at him as be hastens and hungers along. Some day, tired of life and limb, he will lie down sick in this world, and wait to get well in an other And when the angel that upholsters the heavens comes at eventide to hang his red curtains of tire around the windows ol' tie setting sun. he w’il unbar the jasper gates and the tramp, who never had a home before, wili enter in and find a wel come a welcome to the country where the rivers never dry up. nor the blossoms never w ither; where the green turf does not hide a single grave; where the hoofs of the pale horse Death never clatter on tin sapphire pavements; and of whose king it is written. ‘He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
