RELIGIOUS POETRY OF 71
(From Leslie's Illustrated.)
Mr. Editor: I am pleased to ob
serve that the poets of the present
da3' are advancing the standard of
taste to the higher point of moral ex
cellence, and that the public appetite
fully appreciates the primitive reli
gious sentiment contained in their
works. I think, sir, you should not
allow your journal to be behind other
publications in desseminating the
beautiful morality of the slums and
bagnios as it comes to us in its rugged
grandeur through the writings of our
great American sangwangists.
Feeling this, and having in my pos
session the writing of one of our pro
foundest slanguists, I venture to send
you some of his recent noems. whip.h
will compare favorably, for purify of
thought and simple religious feeling
With ailV DODUlar verses now in irrn-
lation. It may possibly be suggested
that in fervidnessof reverential utter
ance they may be a little deficient.
This is true. My friend does some
what lack the gift of bold familiarity
possesed by others in handling sacred
things. In good time this faculty
will be acquired. As I observed',
practice and familiarity will do a
great deal.
I am, sir.yoursobediently,
A. B. Laspjiemeu, a. m.
DILL GULCH.
(lly Clover and Timothy.)
Bill hadn't no rcg'lar taillin';
Never worked for lils-scl' nor kid,
lint picked up a kinder livln'
Hy "Bxiu" them as did.
He vrarn't exactly a pious man,
Not a religious citss
Didn't believe in God and slch,
But glorllicd In a muss.
Ttio' he didn't fnroy and whine not much,
In cae of a slur, you know ;
His motto it was a blow and r. word,
But fust of all the blow.
He had a wife, but she pegged out,
On the iloor, a-knawed by mice,
Or rats, may be. they found her.
And her throat, It didn't look nice.
1 don't pretend to anjry tliinRi,
But wot tolkh said v,us tills :
Sal had an ugly temper, and
She didn't die of a kits.
Yit Bill wns allcrs fair and srjuar
Consariiin'Hharln' with she.
She'd all the rum she cud store abourd.
And the 'bacca was fast and free.
They'd one little crab-eyed crqut,
A sicklsh kind ov a t;utn,
Tlic spirit ov his father, tho'
Pur ntlu' and tlstin rum.
Ilo'd no partielar natno tiie boy
Km liis partlner, Sloapy Setli,
Christened liim Little Bloody
Wlilch tickled him most to death.
They lived and loafed at the tavern,
A lonesome place In the Brakes,
On the skurtK of the Kolien Holler,
Yv'hur's agur, n things, 'u' snaked.
One nite a v.hlte-topt farmer,
"With horse and wa;on and truelr,
Stojit thar, cos it 'wati utormin' but,
And lie'd got a kinder stucl:.
He'd a barl of blue-noe whisky
lie stowed on tiie tavern iloor ;
"W'iclijril suck as dry as a charcoal log,"
Bill, by the turual, swore.
So lie went for that lonely slrangor.
And slit ills gizzard cluing.
Then stove tiie cork with hi ; bowe-knlfe.
And put ills lips to the bung.
Then he sucked at that barl uv whisky,
And sucked and sucked, and swore.
That he'd hold Ills gu7r.:le against the bung
Till his throat cod suck no more.
And he kept his word, and kept it true;
Ho sucked until lie couldn't rise;
Then he gave a grunt and wallered round,
And showed the white of his eyes.
"When Bill woke up. he swore they'd got
A smoke-stack down his throat.
An was Orln up In his lungs with pitch.
And he was a racln' boat.
But he eot tip straight and guv a snort
Betwixt a oalh and a snore,
He'd kept ills gu7.-lo against lhc bung
Till his vat cud hold uo more.
But Little Bloody, where was he ?
Stretched out on thd pine-wood iloor,
Ife kept ills guzzle against the bung
Till ho reashed the unknown j-bore,
Blind staring up the way ov the sky
A hiiuill white corpse he war,
For he'd kept his ga.zle agmst the bung,
And never cud ilrluk no more.
Bill Gulch looked straight at the little
corpse,
A-chokln' a sqnr old sigli ;
But sometliln' told what lie wouldn.t
speak,
As 't slipped down his cheek from his eye
Then he flopped lair down on ills marrcr
b'incs, .
With n tremble onto liis lips,
An ses. "I'm darned If the poor little cuss
Ain't handed in his chips."
Now, I ain't much on the pious lay.
But tills I say ri;ht here,
Thar was more religion into that sigh.
And goodness into that tear.
Then all tho prayln'and prcachin' done
By folks that iiord their stamps
For feedln' the poor, and erectlii' schools,
An' reclainiin' little scamps.
And I'nd a (Turned sight rather bo
Bill Gulch at the .Judgment Day,
Thau many a lamed Christian ciisc
Who's worked on the pious lny.
A few days ago a German woman,
wife of Jolin IIoiTinan, a fisherman,
died at her home, situated in the
north part of tho city,; in the district
formerly attached to Mt. Pleasant.
Some ladies of the Samaritan nature,
who are ever ready to lend a helping
hand in eae of distress, sicknes3 or
death, went to the "house to prepare
the corpse for a Chriatain burial. In
the house everything bore the imprint
of the most abject squalor. In the
cradle, covered with an old piece of
oil-cloth, lay thu corpse of a baby but
two months old, on whoso body,
which was a mass of filth, maggots
were fouad crawling. On tiie bed,
composed of a pile of rag?, was the
dead mother, her hands fiercely
clutched, as if she had died in great
agony. Upon making the prepara
tions for laying out the body, the
hands, by dint of hard work, were.
opeAed crunclapsed, when a$o green
back, and a ten cent piece, postal cur
rency, were found therein, to the sur
prise of all present, even the deceas
ed woman's husband ; npr was that
all ; for upon commencing to remove,
her garments, upon almost every po -tion
of her body small amounts of
.money were found, even to a $1 bill
lyingon her abdomen. About the
bed were found different amounts of
money, rolled lip in rags, some of
which must have been hoarded "for
years, as bills on old State hanks were
found, one of which was so mutilated
and obliterated that it could not be
discovered svhat bank had issued it;
how much more is hid about the house
in out-of-the-way places is not known,
if any, but the" supposition is that
more will be discovered. About $300
was discovered. Jiacinc Argus.

The Congressional Committee In

more than two months, and have had
before them many scores of witnesses

bers always in disguise, with Officers,
Signs, Signals, Pass-words, Grips,
and all the necessary paraphernalia,
with the Pledged and bworn purpose
of putting down the Republican and
putting rip Vic Democratic Party
known in different localities among
the initiated by different name3, but
everywhere recognized by the gener
al cognomen "Ku-Klux."
2. That the organization came in
to being a few months previous to the
last Presidential Election, during
which canvass it was in its most vig
orous conditiou, but is now through
all the South, with more efficient dis
cipline and effective direction than
ever, reviving, in preparation for the
next Presidential campaign, when,
ts they told one of their victims in
Tenneseo a few weeks since, "no
d d Radical voting is to bo allpw-
ed in any Southern State, by black or
white."
S. That this Ku-Klux organization
is the premeditated and determined
scheme for carrying the boufh at the
next election of President, and so,
by securing the entire electoral
vote of that section, make sure the
election of the Democratic nominee.
4. That the officers and establish
es of theso "Dens" (as they appro
priately call their separate bands) are
tho leading and active Democratic
politicians of the South.
5. That the scheme has the hearty
good-will of a largo section of the
Democratic Party in all those States,
and tho acquiescence of nearly the en
tire Party.
0. That the direct and chief pur
pose of the organization, as sworn by
all the victims, as the assertion uni
formly made to them by theso mid
night assassins, and corroborated by
the universal testimony of the repen
tant and divulging metnbers of the
Order, is this: The putting down of
the Republican and'the putting up of
the Democratic Party.
7. That while Democratic and Ku-
Klux witnesses on their direct exam
ination usually deny thepotitical pur
pose of the Order, asserting that the
Ku-Klux are a social necessity grow
ing out of the abolition of the old Pat
rol : that they have to rid the country
to "keep the niggers in their place ;"
that under the influence of Radical
Legislation and Methodist Preaching
the Niggers are liable to become sau
cy," and without an occasional Ku
Klux visit would "begin to think
themselves as good r.s white folks;"
and that these frequent Hoggins, and
an occasional murder, are necessary
to maintain such a state of morals
among the blacks as will permit the
vice-hating whites to live in their
neighborhood ; yet, on the cross-examination,
these witnesses also very
generally, as well as very reluctantly,
confess that the intimidation of Re
publican voters is a prominent and
not to be regretted result.
S. That to secure this purpose, the
putting down of the Republican and
the putting up of the Democratic Par
ty, Intimidation is the grand measure
the intimidation of Republican vo
ters, black and white, but especially
the hnmble and defenceless, by Mid
night Raids; by Burning Houses and
Stores, and the Destruction of crops;
by Whippings of such extreme cruel
ty a? often to end i;i Death ; by most
indecent and painful Maiming; by
Assassination and Murder in such
cowardly manner and with such hell
ish device as may strike terror into
whole counties, and bring down the
Republican vote from tvro or three
thousand to less than a single dozen.
9. That "School-teachers," and
"Preachers of the Methodist Church
North," seem to be tho especial ab
horrence of these Democratic Assas
sins; and hundreds of Schooi-houses
and Methodist Churches have been
giveu to the flames; and Christen
dom will stand aghast when it is
made known the scores of School
teachers and Methodist Preachers,
who, by this Democratic agency
within these three years, have been
Whipped! Shot! Hung! and, in
some instances, it is believed, Burned
at the Stake.
10. That in nearly one-half the
states of this Union this work of hell
is now going on, night by night ev
ery month extending the range of its
bloody operations, and fearfully mul
tiplying the number of its victims!
11. That it is solely and immedi
ately in the servico of the Democrat
ic I arty a large portion of the par
ty South heartily approving large
numbers of the party North attempt
ing its palliation by excuse, and its
shelter from scorn by covering up or
denying its crimes, as if cowardlv
Assassination could be palliated, and
brutal Murder excused and the Dem
ocratic Party throughout the land re
joicing in its promise of help. So,
either by open and acknowledged ac
tion, or by the no less criminal and
the more cowardly participation of
extenuating and shielding the crime,
uiu irany, aoutu ana North, become
before the people and before God
equal sharers in the responsibility.
Out of the mouths of more than
two hundred Witnesses is every sylla
ble of this established ; and more
than ten thousand of the shroudless
Dead, from hidden places byAvayside,
in swamp and mountain, and from
the sleepless ashes of fired homes,
shout their ghastly Amen!
A single instance of these thousand
Outrages perpetrated upon an Ameri
can citizeu on foreign soil, would be
thought ample cause for War; and
our entire Navy would hasten to en
force the Nation's indignation. And
such abuse as is daily meted out to
these humble Methodist Preachers,
if offered one of our Missionaries on
heathen ground, would arouse the
whole American church until every
mind was laden with demands for
"Protection."
The thanks of all citizens who love
Right and hate Rapine are duo the
faithful men of this Committee, who'
forgetting their own ease, have so in
dustriously devoted these hot months
to tho unearthing of this giant Vil
lainy, Christian men of our country! Hu
mane men! All decent men, we ap
peal to you ! Is a Party worthy of life
in this land which seeks supremacy
through such hell-bonr measures?
ABOUT BARBERS.
All thingc change except barbers,
thens of barbers, .and. the sur
roundings of barbers. These never
change. What one experiences in a
barber shop the first time he enters
one, is always what he experiences in
barber shops afterward till the end of
his days. 1 got shaved this morning
a3 usual- A man approached the
door from Jones street as I approach
ed it from Main a thing that always i
happens. 1 hurried up, but it was no
use ; he entered the door one little
step ahead of me, and I followed in
on his heels and saw him take the on
ly vacant chair, the one presided over
by the best barber. It always hap
pens so. I sat down, hoping that I
might fall heir to the chair belonging
to the better of the remaining two
barbers, for he had already begun
combing his man's hair, while his
comrades was uot.yet quite done, rub
bing up and oiling his customer's
locks. I watched the probabilities
with a strong interest. When I saw
that No. 2 was gaining on No. 1 my
interest grew to solicitude. When
No. 1 stopped a moment to make
change on a bath ticket for a new
coiner, aud lost ground in the race,
my solicitude rose to anxiety. When
No. 1 caught up again, and both he
and his comrade were pulling the
towels away aud brushing the pow
der from their customers' cheeks,
and it was about an even thing which
one would say " next1' first, my very
breath stood btill with suspense. But
H'lmn of Hn firiol nnliniiinfJinr tiiA.
inent, No. 1 stopped to pass a comb a j
couple of times through his ctisti.-,
iner's eyebrows, I saw that he had j
lost the race by a single instant, and I
rose indignant and quittea tne snop.
to keep from falling into the hands ot
No. 2 ; for I have none of that envia
ble firmness that enables a man to
look into the eyes of a waiting barber
and tell him he will wait ins fellow
barber's chair. I stayed out fifteen
minutes, and then went back, hop
ing for better luck. Of course all the
chahs were occupied now, and lour
men pat waiting, silent, unsociable,
distraught, and looked bored, as men
always do who are awaiting their
turn in a barber's shop. I sat down
in one of tho iron-armed compart
ments of an old sofa, and put in the
time for a while, reading the framed
advertisements of all sorts of quack
nostrums for dyeing and coloring the
hair. Then I read the greasy names
on the private bay rum bottles ; read
the nauica and noted the numbers on
the private shaving cups in the pigeon-holes;
studied the stained and
damaged cheap prints on the wall of
battles, early presidents, and volup
tuous, recumbent sultanas, and the
tiresome and everlasting youbg girl
putting her grandfather's spectacles
on ; execrated in my heart the cheer
ful canary and the distracting parrot
few barber-shops are without. Fin
ally, I searched out the lust dilapida
ted of the last year's illustrated pa
pers that littered tiie icul centre-table,
and conned their unjustifiable
misrepresentations of old forgotten
events. At last my turn came. A
voice said "next!" and I surrender
ed to No. 2, of course. It always
happens so. I said meekly that I
was in a hurry, and it affected him as
strongly as if he had never heard it.
DZe shoved up my head and put a nap
kin under it. He ploughed his fin
gers into my collar and fixed a towel
there. He explored my hair with his
claws and suggested that it needed
trimming. Ho explored again and
said it was pretty long for the present
style better have a little oh"; it need
ed it behind, especially. I said I had
had it cut only a week before. He
yearned over it reflectively a moment,
'and then asked, with a disparaging
manner, who cut it. I came back at
him promptly with a "you did !" I
had him there. Then he fell to stir
ring up his lather aud regarding him
self in the glass, stopping now and
then tc get close and examine his
chin critically or torture a pimple.
Then he lathered one side of my face
thoroughly, and was about to lather
the other, when a dog fight attracted
bis attention, and he ran to the win
dow and stayed and saw it out, losing
two shillings on the result in bets
with the other barbers, a thing which
gave me great satisfaction. He fin
ished lathering, meantime getting
the brush into my mouth only twjee,
and then began to rub in the suds
with his hand ; and as he now had
his head turned, discussing the dog
fight with the other barbers, he nat
urally shoveled considerable lather
into niv mouth without knowing it,
but I did. He now began to sharpen
his razor on an old suspender, and
was delayed a good -deal on account of
a controversy about a cheap masque
rade ball he had figured at the night
before, in red cambric and bogus er
mine, as some kind of a king. He
was so gratified with being chaffed
about some damsel whom he had
smitten with his charms, that he used
every means to continue the dis
cussion by pretending to be annoyed
at the chaflings of his fellows. This
matter begot more surveyings of him
self in the glass, aud he put down bis
razor and brushed his hair with an
elaborute care, plastering an inverted
arch of it down on his forehead, ac
complishing an accurate " part" be
hind, and brushing the two wings
forward over his ears with nice exact
ness. In the meantime the lather
was drying on my face and apparent
ly eating into ray vitals. Now he be
gan to shave, digging his fingers into
my countenance to stretch the skin,
making a haudleLof my nose now and
then, bundlinijaad tumbling my
head this way awT'that as convenience
in shaving demanded, and "hawk
ing" and expectorating pleasantly all
the while. As long as he was on the
tough sides of my face I did not suf
fer ; but when he began to rake, and
rip, and tug at my chin the tears
came. I did not mind his getting so
close down to me; I did not mind
his garlic, because all barbers eat gar
lic, I suppose ; but there was an ad
ded something that made me fear
that he was decaying inwardly while
still alive, aud this gave me much
concern. -He now put his finger into
my mouth to assist him in having
the corners of my upper lip, and it
was by this bit of' circumstantial evi
dence that I discovered that a part of
his duties in tho shop was to clean
the kerosene lamps. I had often
wondered in an indolent way wheth
er the bnrbers did that, or whether it
was the boss. About this time I was
amusing myself trying to guess where
he would be most likely to cut me
this time, but he got ahead of me aud
sliced me on the end of the chin be
fore I had got my mind made up. He
immediately sharpened his razor he
might have done it before. I do not?
like a close shave, and would not let
him go over me a second time. I
tried to get him to put up his razor,
dreading that ho would make for the
side of my chin, my pet tender spot,
a place which a razor cannot touch
twice without making trouble. But
he said he 011I3 wanted to smooth off
one little roughness, and in that same
moment he slipped his razor along
the forbidden ground, and the dread
ed pimple-signs of a close shave rose
up smarting and answered to the call.
Now he soaked his towel in bay rum,
and slapped it all over my face nasti
ly; slapped it over as if a human be
ing ever yet washed his face in that
way. Then he dried it by slapping
with the dry part of the towel, as if a
human being ever dried his face in
such a fashion ; but a barber seldom
rubs you like a Christian. Next he
poked bay rum into the outplace with
his towel, then choked the wound
with powdered starch, then soaked it
with bay rum again, and would have
gone on soaking and powdering it for
evermore, no doubt, if I had not re
belled and begged off. He powdered
my whole face now, straightened me
up and began tp plough my hair
thoughtfully with his hands and ex
amine his "fingers critically. Then
he suggested a shampoo, and said it
needed it badly, very badly. I ob
served that I had shampooed it my
self very thoroughly in the bath yes
terday. 1 1 " had him" again. He
next recommended some of Smith's
Hair Glorifler, and offered to sell me
a bottle. I decliped. Ho praised the
new perfume, "Jones' Delight of the
Toilet," and proposed to sell me some
of that. I declined again. He ten
dered me a tooth-wash atrocity of his
own invention, and when I declined,
he offered to trade knives with me.
He returned to business after the mis
carriage of this last'enterprise, sprink
led me all over, legs and all, greased
my hair in defiance of my protest
against it, rubbed and scrubbed a
good deal of it out by the roots, and
combed and brushed the rest, parting
it behind and plastering the eternal
inverted arch of hair down on ray
forehead, and then, while combing
my scant eyebrows and defiling thorn
with pomade, strung out on an ac
count of the aehievments of a six
ounce black and tan teerier of his till
I heard the whistles blow for noon,
and knew I was five minutes too late
for the train. Then he snatched
away tho towel, brushed it lightly,
about my face, passed his comb
through my eyebrows once more, and
gayly sang out " nextl"
This barber fell down and died of
apoplexy two hours later. I am wait
ing over a day for my revenge I am
going to attend his funeral. Mark

A HUSBAND SUBJUGATED IN THE
SURF.
The wife of a gentleman at our ho
tel tells a good story at her husband's
expense. It is well understood that
they did not live pleasantly together,
but evidence of this is rarely seen in
public. The other evening, when ta
king their usual drive they are both
high spirited and hard to curb, and
when their tempers are aroused there
is no controlling them one word
brought on another, when the hus
band said: "You will drive me
mad."
" I should call that admirable dri
ving." retorted the wife.
" By !" exclaimed the husband
"if you say anaother word I will
drive down into the sea." They
were then near one of the roads, in
the vicinity of Gen. Grant's cottage,
that leads down to the beach.
" Another word," screamed the la
dy." " Drive where you please,"
she added, " into the sea. I can go
as deep as you dare to go any day."
He became furious, took her- at her
word, and drove the horse j and vehi
cle into the ocean. They began to
swim. He held in, looked into her
face, and she lauged in his.
" Why do you stop?" she demand
ed, exultantly, exhibiting not the
slightest alarm.
"You are a devil," he exclaimed,
turning the hor&e about, making for
the shore, with all expedition.
"Pooh! pooh!" laughed the tor
mentor. " Learn from this that there
is no place where you dare to go
where I dare not to accompany you."
"Even to ?"
" The only exception," she answer
ed, with a chuckle. "There, my
dear, I leave you."
She had conquered. The pair re
turned to the house, and the only evi
dence of anything extraordinary hav
ing occurred was the appearance of
the poor horses.
A rough-looking specimen of hu
manity was recently promenading up
Chatham Street, New Y'ork, when he
came plum ply upon a Jew, a speci
men of his race, about whom there is
no mistake.
Without a word of warning, the
rough knocked him sprawling into
the gutter. Picking himself up and
taking his bleeding nose between his
finger and thumb, he demanded an
explanation.
"Shut "up; I'll bust you agiu' !"
shouted the aggressor, approaching
him again.
"I have never done noting3 rait
you, and what for you mash me in de
dose?" asked Abraham.
" Yes, yer hev ; yer Jews crucified
Jesus Christ, and I have a mind to go
for you agin'."
" But, mine Cott, dafc vagh eigh
teen hundred years ago," said the
Jew.
" Well, I don't care if it was ; I on
ly heard of it last night," replied the
unwashed ; and he went for him
again.
