Eugene And Obediah.
- Continued from last issue,'
Eugene and Oby then formed a strong firm—
By-laws and constitution in it, of course:
Eaoh man agreed that, when' heso wished, .
The firm he could leave and be as before.
Completed not long, was the excellent plan,
When Oby, tbe grnmbler; began to complain:
He didn’t, like.this and he didn't like that,
The-maiiaging boss and the purchase of laud.
Hit remedy, you know, though sad to relate—
. To break up the firm by sudden withdrawal—
Was out and dried and .ready to use,
When brother Eugene some profit obtained.
Now grandpap agaiivsaught trouble to bring,
And over came Pakeuham, Proctor and Boss.
Then brother Eugene being quite in a fix,
. Called time and again for good Obediah;
- But Oby was busy in coining bright dollars—
No time had '.he fa# helping Eugene-
“My business it bothers, my money it wastes:
Get out of this trouble the best way you oan,
Or member of the firm no longer count me.”
Eight times or more, threatened Oby to leave—
A right, always, from the first he had claimed:
Then would you believe it of aelf-righteoua Oby,
A traitor, Eugene hia brother, be called,
For daring to use this eelf-same rightl
“Your factories, boys,” asked Oby paternal,
’ “Are flourishing now,' think you, *s. they ought.”
“Ourthronble is this,” the so'ne did reply:
“Grandpap, plague take him, sells cheaper than we.”
“Let me seer’ said daddy: “Justhand me my pipe,”
He puffed and be puffed, did Oby, so hard,
Then shouted, “I have it: by jingo 1 I have:
Snob tax on dad’e goods, Our oouneil will put,
No sales in onr land they’ll find, I am sure.
Your unole Eugene, no doubt, will object,
~But numbers will fell when it comes to a vote.” ,
So mattocks and oradles and kettles and Knives
Were dearer to Gene than ever befqre. ‘
He grumbled and paid and suffered and Ibat.
But little relief could ever he get. '
While Oby grew richer, Genie grew poorer—
His substance that tariff sucked into it* maw.
The death of the African tTade grieved Oby:
No more could he barter in children of Ham;
And when he had sold the last nigger he owned,
- Then all of a sudden he saw a great sin
In holding poornegroes in bondage, he did. - -
He futaed with-Eugene and called OTm a tyrant—
Forbade him the use of the ComntOoe-'Tor slaves.
Bight here good Oby akipped'^U the Epistles,
. And jumped clear out of the Bible, indeed:
So'righteous wag he and such a fanalio,
That AbrahAnd and Modes and Pani he condomned.
The constitution, too', called Oby in wrath,
“A covenant with death, an agreement with hell.”
A rule nnto himself, great Oby became,
Nor cared he for Bible or Koran or Law.
With Oby’s consent, his ontlaw son John
Went down to stir np the slaves of -Eugene:
Bevolven and guns and handpikes he took,
For blaoks to rise up and slaughter their owners.
Thus Oby, on driven in folly’s mad zeal,
Diiplaying suoh spirits as Nero might show,
Would free all the negroes in oceans of blood,
And his brothers plantation turn into a bell.
But John was a failure and soon come to grief,
For to trial he went on pain of his life,
Aud guilty of murder, he truly was found,
And suffered the penalty he richly deserved.
A song to his honor, then Oby composed—
A martyr enshrined him with Stephen and Host,
And then swore he, in the might of his wrath,.
J*Tbe heinous offeuseof Pilate the Boman,
In nailing tbe world’s Redeemer on high,
Whitens to virtue, compared to this deed—
'The hanging of John by brother Eugene."
A new mao was ohosen to manage the firm,
Whose notions and sympathies were mostly with Oby.
With troubles of tariff and negroes and land,
All this waa too muoh for Eugene and sons.
So out of tbe firm he concluded to go,
And leave brother Oby to do aa he pleaaed.
When rumor reaohed Oby of Eugene’* intent,
He reared and he euorted, and tore out hia hair,
“Get out of this firm your nude Eugene II
And atop all onr factories and revenues too 111
Why, all of hia good* he’ll bur from John Bull 11
And send all hisootton to feed Johu’a millet 11
Take handcuff* and chains and all of your guna,
And go down and fatten him tight In the firm.
But unole Eugene got wind of their mission, .
And ssfat out to meet-them old Beaure’ and Johnaton.
The hoya all mbt at a place oalled' Manatsaa,
But known as Boll Run, by.ainost happy hit,
For here ran the Bull boys, sit headlong speed,-
Oby’t iu front and'Genie’s in rear.
When Oby’a tired sons returned out of breath,
Their toe* badly stubbed,' their noaeaawry,
The old man’s fury rose dear to the sky—

! bring, the <
With shattered assurance, on baok went the boys
To taekle the sons of their unole Engetre. .
When the battle was done, aud the dust cleared up,
The warriors of Oby, oh, where hsd they gene I
To daddy they fled, with wonderful tale*
Of rebels aud thunder aud oceans of blood.
Most fearful to see, was Oby’* wild rage,
Who kicked everything in sight but himself,
For now he begin, moat foolishly, to fear
- The handcuffs and chains Of his brother Eugene.
"Go hurry the boys, ss insuy as you can.
Pat Erin’s, Hans Lager’s, Indisus and niggers,
And don’t you return without that old wreteh,
Or I shall be tempted to go down myself.”
But all was in vain for aome time to come,
For back cack came the poase bedraggled and sore.
