Repudiation. 'Neath a ragged palmetto, a Southerner sat, A-twisting the band of his Panama hat, And trying to lighten his mind of a load, By humming the words of the following ode: “Oh!
for a nigger!
and oh!
for a whip; Oh!
for a cocktail!
and oh!
for a nip; Oh!
for a shot at old Greeley and Beecher! Oh!
for a crack at a Yankee school-teacher! Oh!
for a captain!
and oh!
for a ship; Oh!
for a cargo of niggers each trip!” And so he kept oh-ing for all he had not, Not contented with owing for all that he'd got. --N. Y. Tribune, June
