Wl&DWELL
From eaanon, when tiie advancing billow sen. I
I p to the sight long ales of arme.1 men.
That hurry t Ilia charge throngb lin and
, . smoke, y . - . , c
The lorrerit bean them under, whelmed and hid,
Slayer and slain, in beapt ot bloody foam.
Down go lue tuod and rider ; - the plumed chief
Sinks with hit kdUrwen ; the head that wean
The tut) crlal diadem goes down beside
The fidoD'i with cropped ear and branded cheek.
A funeral train the torrent sweep away
Bearers and bier aad monmer. By the bed
Of one wnodics men gather sorrowing.
And women weep aloud ; the flood rolls on ;
The wall It stifled, and the tubbing group
Horn under. Hark to that thrill tudden snout-
The cry of an applauding multltaJe
Swayed by some loud-tougued orator who wields
Tiie living max?, at If he wen ill souL
Tbe waters choke the shout and all is sUlL
Lo, next, a kneeling crowd and one who tpreada
The haadt lu prayer : the IngulBnz wave o er
takes
Andawaltows them and him. A s?u I nlor wields
The chisel, and the stricken marble growt
To beauty; at hit easel, eager-eyed,
A painter stands, and sunshine, at his touch,
Oathert upon the canvas, and life glowt ;
A poet, at he paces to and fro,
Murmurs his sounding lines. Awhile they ride
The advancing billow, till Its tossing crest
Strikes them and flings them under while their
asks
A re yet unfinished. See a UKdhcr smile '
On her yiurg bale who imilrioa btr again;
The torrent wrests it from her arms, she shrieks.
And weeps, and midst her tears Is carried down.
A leam like that or moonlight I urns the spray
To glistening pearls ; two lovers, hand In hand.
Rise on the billowy swell and fondly look
Into each other's eyes The rushing flood
Flings them apart : the youth iroeo down ; the
maid.
With hands outstretched In rain and itreaniin.
eyes.
Waits for the next high ware to follow him.
An aged man succeed! ; hit bending form
Sinks slowly ; mlugled with the sullen stream
Gleam the white locks, and thea an seen no am.
La, wilder growt tiie itreain : a sea Ilka flood
Saps earth's walled cities ; massive palaces
Crumble before it t fortresses and towen
Dissolve ia tbe twift waters ; populous realms
Swept by the torrent sec their ancient tribes
Ingulfed and lost, their very languages
Stifled and never to be uttered man. '- I
I jaue snd turn my eye, and, look lag back.
When th tumultuous flood hat passed, I tea
The silent Ocean of the Past, a waste
Of waten weltering over graves, lu shores
Strewn with the wnck of fleets, when mast and
hull
I'mpaway piecemeal ; batlleroented walls
Known idly, green with moss, and templet stand
t'n roofed, fnrmkeu by th wwshtper. --,
There He memorial stones, whence time ha
gnawed
The graven legends, thrones ot kings o'ertnrned
The broken altrrt of forgotten gods.
Foundations of obi cities and long streets
When never fall of human foot la heard
f'pon thedreolrtcpaTemerit, I behold
Dim glimmerlr of bat jewels far within
The sleeping water. ,1 iamorl. sardonyx,
Rnby and tos, pearl and chrysolite.
Once glitterinc at tbe banuuet on fair brows
That long ago wen dual ; and all around,
Stnwa on the waters nf that silent tea
An withering bridal wreaths, and glossy locks
Shorn trom fair bnws by loving hands, aad scroll
O'erwritten haply with lond words of loya
And vows of friendshipami fair pages flung
Fresh from the printer's engine. Then they lie
A moment and then sink away from tight
I look, and lb uk-k tears an la my eyes.
For I behold in everyone of these
A blighted hope, a seperate history
Of human sorrow, telling of dear ties
Suddenly br .ken, dreams of haiipiness
IHsaolved In air, and happy days, too brief,
That sorrowfully ended, and I think
How painfully must the poor heart have beat
in bosoms without numlier, as the blow
Was struck that slew Ihelr hope or broke their
peace.
Sadly I turn and look before, when yet

I am glad to believe that the spirit
of outrage is not universal even io

genera discontent at lbe results of
tbe revolution which has swept over

Neither is there any political party
which, aa a whole, indorses them.
None would dare to do it, as I sup
pose none desires to do it, and if any

to feel called upon to apologize for

Tbe truth bas been forced upon us.

many of us was appalling. We bave

both of whose arms have been de
stroyed by bullets from a rifle in the
bands of a Soutbernor. Tbe woman
is at rest. Tbe aogry surges of sec
tional bate will sweep over her no
more. Tbe crack of tbe assassin's
rifle cannot again disturb ber sleep.
She bas beard of tbe murder of ber
kindred for tbe last lime. Let us
congratulate ber. The brother is not

stumps of bis helpless arms, and to

ately fired twenty-one shots at bim
and his companions, and then rode
unmolested away. Lives also to
think tbat be bas suffered all this in

by tbe fact that, though once affluent,
tbey are now almost in want, and it
is not easy for them to feci kindly
toward anything tbat contributed to
tbeir financial rain.
But after all that can be said by
way of extenuation, tbe awful aod
inexcusable fact remains that politi
cal assassination is common ia manv
sectioES of the South At tbe mid
night hour men are aroused from
tbeir sleep and hurried, without a
moment's notice, into eternity. Un
armed and unprotected men are shot
down like d'jgs in open daylight.
Some bave been deluded by prom
ises of protection and then led away
to tbe slaughter, as Judas betrayed
his Master with a kiss.

Uut tbey bad no promise or protec
tion from tbe red men; ibej were

Aotj vet now our ou-rageu con
sciences demanded vengeance upou
tbe treacherous murderers. Xo pur
suit of tbem was swift enough to
please our vengeful feeling; no cost
of war was deemed extravagant.
But Homer Twitcbell and his broth
ers-in-law were promised protection.
It was said also, tbat unless they
yielded to tbe suggestion there would
probably be a massacre of negroes;
tbe;r humanity was appealed to; they
would save themselves and hundreds
of others by yielding to tbe friendly
request of tbeir neighbors. Tbus ap
pealed to tbey consented, anu then
were betrayed and killed.
Official reports show tbat these
murders amount to thousands No
scenic effects am needed. We may
not try to make the case appalling
by drawing upon cur imagination
for tragic drapery. It i a St.

blood wbicb makes up in continuity

aod especially for the fair fame of
our own land, there were some room
for doubt. The fact tbat we are
Americans would lead us to desire to
doubt. But there is no more doubt
tbat thousands have ben murdered
in tbe South sioce the wai than there
is to doubt wbetber tbe war occurred.
Tbe reign of terror is no more a fact
in tbe history of France tban is tbe
reign of terror a faot in large sections
of 'be South lo-dsy. And there is
as little room to doubt that tbe vast
majority of tbem are political assas
sinations. Tbey are not tbe result
of sudden passion, but of settle J hate ;
tbey are not tbe issue ol individual
quarrels, but are deliberately planned
for tbe accomplishment of ulterior
ends.
Sometimes in the North a mob
breaks into a jail and hastens what
it calls an execution of justice against
some gross offender, and in very rare
instances we almost feel tbat there is
some show of reason for tbe madness
of tbe mob. But among tbe thous
ands of victims of ' Southern diabol
ism, almost none have been convict
ed or even accused of anv grave of
fense. Tbe bullet bas smitten
innocent, and tbe knife bas cut
unoffending.
It is not necessary to disguise
fact tbat in some cases bad men bave

tbem as they run for their lives, just j wall proved to be God's declaration

and large rewards offered for tbe ar
