We received a letter from a
friend a few days ago, who sent us
a poem entitled “Niggers in the
While House.” They said the
poem was not original with them,
but thinks it just as good as if it
was ( ?), so we reproduce it in our
column this week :
Things at ti e White House,
Looking mighty curious;
Niggers running everything,
White people are furious;
Niggers on the front porch,
N lggers on the gable;
Nlggers in the dining room,
Niggers at the table;
Niggers in the sitting room,
Making all the talk;
Niggers in tlie ball room,
Doing cake walk;
N igger- in the East room,
Make a mighty throng;
Niggers in the music room,
ringing a coon song;
Niggers in the hall..ay,
Taking otf t heir wraps;
Niggers in the billiard room,
Shooting game of craps;
Niggers in the store room,
Racking way their plunder;
Niggers in the bedroom,
Snoring like thunder;
Not a room in the White House
Without niggers many;
Baby in nursery,
A nigger pickaninny;
Niggers on the stairway,
With very much satiety;
✓ Niggers in the blue room,
Assembled for society;
Niggers in the front yard,
Niggers in the back:
Niggers come in omnibus,
And niggers come in hack;
On they go to Washington,
With a mighty rush;
Forty thousand niggers,
Getting in the push;
There’s trouble in the White House,
More than you can tell;
Yelling like wild men,
Niggers raising h—;
I see away to settle it,
Just as clear as water —;
Let Mr. Booker Washington
Marry Teddy’s daughter;
Or, if this does not overflow
Teddy’s cup of joy,
Then let Miss Dinah Washington
Marry Teddy’s boy;
But, everything will be settled,
Roosevelt will be dead;
Niggers in the White House
Shall cut off Teddy’s head.

My Mother’s Grave.
Could we shelter thy grave, dear
mother,
From the rain drops falling fast,
As you dried our tear-stained faces,
In the days of the bygone past.
The sorrow that comes at the thinking
Your body so precious to us,
So lovely to us, how we would keep it,
But we read it is “dust unto dust.”
When the trump shall sound its calling
On resurrection morn,
Then mortal shall be immortal,
Christ's image his children adorn.
Time may make signs of its progress
And years go fleeting by,
Or we may be soon called to meet thee
In that dear sweet by and by.
Dear mother, the grave holds tby body,
Heaven claims thy precious soul.
God grant all thy children will follow
To that blessed and happy goal.
When Christ shall call his chosen
To meet him in the air,
May your children be found among
them
Occupying an bumble place there.
Dear mother, thy grave is not sheltered
But thank God, in heaven above
Thy precious soul is sheltered
By the wings of his infinite love.
—E. T. M. 1883.
