POETRY.
IVhlte Slaves.
V J. W. BARKER.
" Your whole class of mnnual laltorcrs
end operatives'" ns you call thtMn, ore
slaves. Our slnve nrn black, yours are
while." Senator Hammond's Sjierch
Base slanderer of the sons of toil,
That sweat amid our Northern bills,
With honest hands and hearts as free
As our own native mountain rills
Your voice is liesrd In happy homes,
Where Freedom's fires are burning, .
And like a tide the echo comes,
Your haughty slander spurning i
" Go preach upon the cotton plain,
To souls that wear the galling chain
Go tell your pejrs your heathen story,
Anl boast your greatness and your glory j
But n'Vr to the so:is of Pilgrim sires,
Whose alters glow with Freedom's fires,
Whose fertile fields of old were wet
With freemen's gore, and living yet 1 '
Are bright mementoes of those arta
That tried the faith of patriot hearts ;
O never, over patriot graves,
Declare there toils a race of slaves !"
Is he indeed a siavk that toils
Early and late, but cheerfully?
Whoe sunburnt hands and busy feet
Are tokens of his Industry ?
A slave ? He is a willing link
In the great brotherhood of man,
Toiling to fill his mission here,
And hnrmiiiize the glorious plan,
Ordained of God for human weal,
Order ai:d beauty to reveal. " "'
But when, at evening's holy hour,
He lays his dusty garb aside,
And in his humble, happy home,
Seeks shelter from the earth's rough tide j
When round him gather loving forms,
And whisper words of hope and cheer
Wherever else the bondman dwells,
Sure he can have no shelter there.
The laborer's hand strokes auburn curies,
And reads the tale in love-lit eyes ;
He hears the music of kind hearts,
That throws o'er care a bright disguise ;
Yea, glories in his proud estate,
A palace is his humble home, ,
The sunlight is that glorious thought,
" TIH SE rRIKNDS AND TREASURES ARE
Mr own."
All through the starry midnight hours,
No dream of terror chills his bliss,
No fiend to smite those golden links,
Can enter such a borne as this.
What if the morrow's sun invite
Him on to sceans of toil and care ?
Ths price be earne h day by day,
No " master's " clame shall ever share.
Proud of his birthright, he can sing
Of friends, of liberty and home ;
. To steal this jewel from tht soul,
The spoiler's foot can never come.
No dark'nlng veil is ever drawn
To shut out knowledge from the mind
Her lights Illuminates his toil, '
And guides his reason, halting, blind.
You call the poor man " slave," and say
That Heaven ordained th? foul decree,
And ages hence must fix the seal,
That Heaven has set on poverty i
Aye, more than slander'tis the breath
Of blasphemy, defiant, bold,
You bow a humble, suppliant knee .
Before the glittering shrine of gold.
A poor man,o're Judea's plains,
Once trod a solitary way
No princely th'ong, with welcome strains.
Crowded around his weary way. J 1
At nightfall, ne'er a kindly voice
Gave him a welcome to repose,
No sumptuous fare for him was spread, .
For him no cheerful song arose.
The rich would scorn the lowly Guest,
'lie rroud deride his mean attire,
And at his high and kingly claim
Was ho'ly kindled royal ire.
In senate halls he was reviled . :
" The friend of publicans Is He,"
His mission amid captive souls
To set the heavy-burdened free.
Wat Us a slavs, that Glorious One 7
" Poor and despised, a child of grief 1"
And they the humble fishermen,
That hastened to the world's relief,?
Nay, haughty 8outhron, ne'er again
In Freedom's hall the libel tell I
O, utter pot those shameful words,
That freemen's heart will e'er repel I
Influence.
If In one poor bleeding bosom,
I, a woe-swept cbord have still-d
If a dark and restless spirit,
- I with hop of heaven have filled
If 1'vs made, for life's hard battle,
On faint heart grow brave and strong
Then, my God, I thank thee, bless thee,
For tb precious gift of song. Chitwoop

Speaking of Grand Juries,' remind ifla
that the Parish Court is" now in session'

The friends of this Court all knows that '
ef thar is any vice this Court abhors, it is
intemperance. When thi Court waa a
young man, Mr. Kettles, it was consider
ably inclined to drink ; and the friends of
this Court know that this Court Has not

Another case waa beftre the Court.
Aji overseer who had been discharged,;
brought a suit against his employer for a ,
whole year's wages, alleging that he had
been discharged without sufficient grounds.
" Old Ky " charged the Jury as followe ;
. " The Jury will take notice that law
0irt is well acquainted with the nature
of the case. '' When the Court' first start-
ed out in the world, - it followed the busi
ness of overseeing,' end ef thar is' any i
business, which the. Court understands, it' a j

was always naterally gifted and ibis
Court in running a quarter race whar thea
bosses was turned, could allers turn a hot a
so as to gain 15 feet in a race ; and that '
a certain occasion in the parish of West '
Feliciana, k was one of the conditions of
race that Ky Rogers shouldu't turn nary
ont of the bosses." , , , -- .
Another case was up. and two lawyers
got into a fight one of them a preacher
