Roanoke. by Geo. Alfred Townsend. Fair island by the calm, blue Sound, Where high thy pines their branches sway, And make low melodies r from the oak; For desolation sere and dumb, Sits in the homes of Roanoke. There first my pale and sanguine race A birthplace found-perhaps clash and croak The requiem of the golden corn That never came to Roanoke. Thrice ploughed thy sand the English keel-- They turned their hel Briton broke, And murdered in a single night, The native Lords of Roanoke. The wild duck flocked the sound astir, The bear looked out from S ruthly broke, And wandered vainly after gold Far up the stream of Roanoke. Those savage times have waned apace, The piney isle no red men tr oke, The spangled flag we worship yet, Curled all its stripes o'er Roanoke. The corpse half buried in the sand, The far-off friends that wait . My God!
this curse of blood revoke, May every loyal Northern spear Be nerved with news from Roanoke.
Philadelphia, February 16, 1862.

He has framed problems beginning in the following style:
A Yankee mixes a certain quantity of wooden nutmegs, which cost him one fourth cent apiece, with a quantity of real nutmegs, worth four cents apiece, etc.
A Northern railroad is assessed one hundred and twenty thousand dollars damages for contusions and broken limbs caused by a collision of cars.
