Eugene And (Mali.
Continued from last issue.
"And didn’t yon reach the plantation atallT”
“Divil a tight av it, bvgarral” said Pat.
With still huger posses the eon* kept coming,
Bnt constantly less grew the crowd of Eugene.
Next, Sherman and Sheridan, promising sons,
Were ordered to bum all property in retch—
Destroy all the orop* and cany off the stock,
And starve ont the fores* of plncky Eugene,
For not in fair fight was bop* to be found.
Thu* Attila the Hun was brought back to life,
And fourteen centuries rolled ont th* way,
From wailing and tears and havoc and rain
Were left in the trail of these fiery fiends.
To tie people he’d tamed out of house rad home,
"My soldier* and bummers, so gentle and kind,
Just wished to be left in their happy content,
Enjoying their government in peace and repose ”
Didn't Sherman, yon ask me, lay "war is hellT"
When vandal* command, of a tenth it must b*. -
And now, would yon think that this Sherman did boast,
The awful destruction b* left in his path)
The dreadful tornado would merer have bean,
Compared to this ravaging monitor of prey.
And what shall we aay of Sheridan the poet?
Whose path was so stripped of all its supplies,
That Sheridan boasted a crow must beware
Of croesing that trail ito rations forget?
So great and unlooked for, the iteoke of brave Phill,
Whose soldiers well kept, and in might three to one,
Had pat,to the route tome worn ont Canted*,
And framed all the barns and prodnoe in sight,
Thus leaving th* women and children to starve—
Why, Oby rejoiced and kUledth# fatted calf,
And Philip was landed and toasted and spoiled,
So bsdly, indeed, that years were required
To open bis eyes to the heinous offense
He’d offered the raise of oivilised war.
Now, would you auppoae good Oby eomplained,
Though protest on protest was made him in vain,
When onoe to like measures Eugene did retort,
And one town burned to stop Oby’s red hand?
Oh, ysa; thu great Oby, so pious and bad,
Discovered the mote in the eye of his brother
By squinting alongside the beam in hia own,
Then threw np hia hand* in horror moat holy.
And now just listen to what 00me* next:
The prisoners, in suffering he Would not exohang*;
And then when Eugene in ptaKSty deep.
To keep his from want' wssSBBqr unable,
Tbit Oby, ao kind in hi* own opinion,
Did slanderEugene aa wioked and oruel.
But worse and still worse, mad Oby became,
All medieinea cutoff from hia brother Eugene,
From infant and mother, the old and infirm,
The eoldier all mangled by bullet* and shell,
And Oby’s own sons in exile and prison,
Of whom tome were cent by merciful Eugene
To plead the exchange for hnmanity’s lake.
But deaf was the ear this Oby did offer
To all theae pleadings from friend and foe.
At last oome the end, when the sous of Eugene—
The few that were left from ravage* of war—
O’er whelmed by numbers, were forced to eubmit,
And gave up the fight—all lost but their honor.
Eugene was soon captured and brought to the bar
To answer to Obv—preposterous insult I—
The outrageous charge of being a traitor I
A traitor to wbstT Doe* any one know?
But never a trial was granted to him.
For Oby, the (harper, well knew it waa vain
To hope to go through a trial nnatained
With stigma* already he’d pat on Eugene.
The case was against him and therefore he feared
The crime might be hia and the right for Eugene.
By numbers and vandals in war he prevailed;
To law and to justioe he dared not appeal.
And now, yon most know, the soldier* of Oby
Returned with great honor and plandito and tame,
Because with five fold, after four year* of war,
They were out just one fold of starving Confeds.
What grander, more eloquent, tribute exist*
To the prowess of the eoldiers of Jaokeon and I,ee 1
Next Oby, magnanimous, sent Genie some jail-birds
To tesob him the form* and art of good government.
Along with the rascals came frantio aohoolmarms,
To toaoh the dear negro to read and to write.
By both of these partiea was Bam bo then taught,
That whatever tioket was stuck in his faoe,
To vote every time ’gainst the boys of Eugene,
For eager they were to enslave them again.
They told him, thee* liar*, that Oby would give
Eaon one a mule and forty sores or land.
For many longyean Onffy banked on that male,
It made him more pompons and teambltd his dreams,
Bnt year* passed by and the mule oame not;
Hia melodious bray, poor Onffy nsvsr heard.
"Now friend*, to the negroes, said some of thee* scamps,
"A bank we will give yon to save your span cash—
guv* it for ob." reMrration’f ily words.
The bank then fionriahed and the sohoolmarma flourished,
The devil and acalawags, they flourished too;
In fact I admit that everything fionriahed,
Exosptpoor Eugene and family affairs.
80 flourished, indeed, the aforeeaid oonoerna,
That soon they beeam* ao rank aa to rot;
Then tnoh was the stench arising therefrom, .
The ion* of Eugene oonld stand it no longsr.
The Ku-Klux-Klan waa than organised;
The bummers lit ont and th* eoallies lay low:
While Sambo lo*t some of hia love for. the polls,
And never could toll where hie money had gone.
Th* soboolmarms left too, with negro a surfeit,
And wondered whatever indoeed them to oome,
For, however strange it may teem to th* world,
A Yankee can seldom put np with a negro.
And Onffy’a best friend, though he'* long to find out,
- Is th* man who haa known him all hia life.
