A POEM FOB THE TIMES.
Mr. T. Buchanan Bead’s poem of «The
Oath!” is one of the most popular of those
recited by Mr. James E. Murdoch at his pub
lie readings. Recently, at Washington, he
read /it with such effect that the President
especially complimented him upon it, and
asked for a copy.' This gives to the poem a
new interest, and as it will gratify our readers
to read it again, we print it below :
THE OATH.
BT THOMAS BUChANAN BEAD-
Hamx/et— < < Swear on toy sword. ”
Ghost, (below) ‘ ‘ Swear ! ’ ’—Shakespeare.
Ye freemen, bow long will y° stifle
The vengeance that justice inspires 1
"With treason bow long will ye trifle,
And shame the proud name of your sires 1
Out, out witb the sword and the rifle
For defense of your homes and your fires.
The flag of the old revolution
Swear firmly to serve and uphold,
That no treasonous breath of pollution
Shall tarnish one star of its fold.
Swear!
And hark, the deep voices replying
From graves where your fathers are lying,
; “Swear, oh, Swear! ”
In this moment who hesitates, barters
■ The rights which his forefathers won ;
He forfeits all claim to the charters
Transmitted from sire to son.
Kneel, kneel at the graves of your martyrs,
And swear on your sword and your gun;
Lay up yonr great oath on an altar
As huge and as strong as Stone Henge;
And then with sword, fire and halter,
Sweep down to the field of revenge.
Swear! *
And hark, the deep voices replying
From graves where your fethers are lying,
“Swear, oh, swear!”
By the tombs of your sires and brothers,
The host which the traitors have slain;
By the tears of your sisters and mothers,
In secret concealing their pain,
The grief which the .heroine smothers,
Consuming the heart and the brain;
By the sigh of the penniless widow,
By the sob of her orphan’s despair,
■Where they sit in the sorrowful shadow,
Kneel, kneel every freeman and swear.
Swear!,
And hark, the deep vdTfes replying
From graves where their fathers are lying,
Swear, oh, Swear! ”
On mounds which are wetwith the weeping
■ Where a nation has bowed to the sod,
Where the noblest of martyrs are sleeping,
Let the winds bear yonr vengeance abroad-
And your firm oaths be held in the keeping ’
Of your patriot hearts and your God.
Over Ellsworth, ior whomthe just tear rose,
While to Baker and Lyon you look;
By Winthrop, a star among heroes,
By the blood of our murdered McCook ,
Swear !
And hark, the deep voices replying •
From graves where your fathers are lying,
Swear, oh, swear.
Poisosmo Cash in New Toek Frederick
Eichler, a ! German, about forty years of age,
and a. married man, loyed and lived with a
German widow, whom he promised to marry
as soon as he could procure a divorce from his
wife. The widow, however, probably aware of
the uncertainties and delays of the law, shook
off her paramour, and some five weeks ago
married a man namefe Maen. B,eing in a
miserable frame of mind, Eichler ’■determined
to kill the faithless woman, her husband and
himself. Full of this intent, he visited the
Maen family on Thursday last, and in the
kindest manner regaled them with a couple of
bottles of wine, into which he had introduced
a quantity of arsenic. The poison failing to do
its work, Eichler discharged a pistol at Mr,
Maen’s head; but, excepting that his face was
somewhat burned by powder, the intended
victim received no injury. Eichler fled from
the house, and on the same night took lodgings,
at Clark’s Hotel, in Chatham street, where his
dead body was discovered on Friday morning.
A dose of some corrosive poison had'put an
end to all his troubles N. Y. Herald.
Cceiods Case.— There is rather a curious
promissory note case on trial in the Supreme
Court, circuit, before Judge Smith, at New
York. The Bank of the Commonwealth sues
Benjamin F. Mudgett, Deputy Collector of the
Customs, for the recovery of one thousand
dollars. The plaintiffs claim that the defendant
endorsed a one thou sand-“dollar promissory
note, which was left with them for collection,
and that when the paper matured he repudiated
the act and pronounced the whole thing a
forgery. The defence set up is that the'en
dorsement is a forgery, and a number of wit
nesses were called to the stand for the purpose
of testifying. to the unlike character of the
signature. The question for the jury to deter
mine is one of veracity entirely, and it will be
rather interesting to know who is correct.
Fiee ok Oh Cheek.— On "Wednesday lastSa
fire occurred at the Van Slyke well, on the
Widow McClintockfarm. The fire caught from
a spark from the smoke-stack of the engine
falling into a tank of oil.- Owing to the recent
bad state of the roads, some one thousand two
hundred barrels of oil had accumulated at the
Van Slyke and Chase wells. This, together
’With two engines and ail the machinery for
pumping the two weUs, as well as derricks and
a number of empty barrels, were consumed.
The total loss is about $12,000. The Van
Slyke well belongs to Captain Lyman Pray and
Mr. C. M. Titus. The Chase well, just adjoin
ing, is owned by Messrs. Titus and J. J. Van
degriff. These wells were consumed in July
last, when the loss was about $30,000.
ScAßorrr of Food The Lebanon (Mo.)
Herald gives a deplorable picture of the con
dition of Southwest Missouri. It doubts
whether there is grain enough in-the country
to supply the people with bread till another
crop is made. The wheat crop is not good,
and what there was of it was curtailed by the
heavy freshets last summer. The corn crop,
too, was short. The wet summer, in the early
part, prevented farmers working their corn
sufhcientlv. Besides this, the trains have
foraged the country of all that was to spare.
General Eosecrans is anxious that the farmers
of Missouri should resume the cultivation of
the soil throughout that State. He promises
all possibleprotection to farmers.
Mineral Wealth of Utah Hon. James
S. Doty, Governor of Utah, now in Washing
ton, gives the most interesting account of the
enormous wealth of that Territory. These
treasures of the soil will rival those of Califor
nia. Brigham Young is exceedingly vigilant
in his efforts to prevent any examination, but
it is probable that the owner, Uncle Samuel
may Sometime put in a pre-emptionary right’
and claim to examine into his own premises. ’
