"SIIVIR JACK"
This poem was written by Senator
William. M. Stewart, of Nevada, and the
original manuscript presented by the
author to Senator C. W. Fulton, of Ore
gon: '
I was on the drive in '80, workin' under
Silver Jack,
Which the sams Is now in Jackson, and
ain't toon expected back;
And there wat chap among us by the
name of Robert Waite, ,
Who was kind of slick and tonguey
guess he was a graduate.
He could talk on any subject, from the
bible down to Hoyle,
And his words flowed out so easy just
as smooth and slick as oil;
He was what they call a skeptic and he
loved to sit and toll
How the great Creator blundered in His
scheme of earth and hell.
One day he was waitin' for a flood to
dear the ground, i
And we all sat 'smokin' niggerhead and
' hearm Bob expound.
Hell, he noted, was a humbug, and he
proved as clear as dav
That the Bible was' a fable, and we
lowed it looked that way.
As for miracles and sech like, it was
more'n he could stan'.
And the one they callei the Savior "He
was lest a common man.
"You're a liar!" someone shouted, "an
you've got to take it back:" .
And we all jumped up and wondered
twas the voieeof Silver Jack!; .
His big fists, they cams together, and he
chucked his coat and cried:
"It was by that thar religion that my
mother kved and died:
And, although 1 haven't alters used the
' . Lord exactly right
When I hear a cuss abuse Him, he must
eat his words or fight!" ;
Now Bob, he wa nt no coward, and he
answered bold and free:
"Stack your duds and say your prayers
if you want to scrap with me!'.
And they fit for 40 minutes, and the
boys would whoop and cheer
When Jack he shed a tooth vor two, and
Bob he lost an ear..
'Till at last Jack got Bob under, and he
soon began to yell.
And 'lowed he'd been mistaken In his
views concernin' hell:
But Jack he kept a reasonin' and slugged
him one t or twicat.
And Bob finally conceeded the divinity of
Christ ,
Then the argument was ended, and they
nz up from the eround.
And some qne brought a bottle out and
kindly passed it round:
And we drank to Jack's religion, in a
quiet sort of wav.
And the spread of infidelity was checked
in camp that day.
