Sunday being a rainy day, I re­ mained at home and composed what I then named I Wish I Was In Dixie’s Land ’ Nobody ever knew how it came to be called •Dixie.’ Well, Jerry was so delighted with it that he made us rehearse all day Monday for the evening's performance. The song was a go’ right from the start. Bands played it. Musical people In Cin­ cinnati, Louisville and New Orleans crib­ bed’ it, and lawsuits followed until Firth & Pond published it under my own name and so settled the dispute as to author­ ship. ’’ It was first sung in New Orleans in 1860, the original words, from which all other versions sprang, being as follows: I wish I was in the land ob cotton; Old times dar am not forgotten: Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land. In Dixie land, whar 1 was born in, Early on one frosty mornin, Look away, look away, look away, Dixie laud Den I w ish I was in Dixie, CHORUS. Hooray, hooray! Glory, glory, hallelujer! Glory, glory’, halle­ In Dixie land I’ll took my stand, lujer! lib and die in Dixie. Glory, glory, hallelujer! On Ca-ni-yun's hap­ To Away, away, away down south in Dixie; py sho’. Away, away, away down south in Dixie. The war song is as follows: John Brown’s body lies a-moldering in the Old missus marry "Will de weaber, ” William was a gay deceaber; grave, Look away, etc. John Brown’s body lies a-moldering in tho But when he put his arms around 'er, grave, John Brown’s body lies a-moldering in the He smiled aa fierce as a forty pounder; Look away, etc. grave, Den I wish I was in Dixie, etc. His soul is marching on. His face was sharp as a butcher’s cleaber, CHORUS. Glory, halle-halleluiah! Glory, halle halle­ But dat did not seem to greatly greab ’er: Look away, etc. luiah !

It relieved the tedium of camp life, and as it resounded through columns of men tramping patiently along the dusty high­ ways it lightened the weariness of their footsteps. It is said that the words, with the ex­ ception of the first stanza, were written by Mr. Charles S. Hall of Massachusetts, but long before the war the air. wedded toother words, was familiar on every plan­ tation in too south. It was the favorite camp meeting melody of the negroes, and few spectacles were more inspiring than when, with grotesque gestures, they join­ ed in singing (the women first): Say, my brudders. will we meet yo’? Say, my brudders, will we meet yo’? Say, my brudders. will we meet yo'? On Ca-ni yun’s happy Bho'? Then the men responding: Ya-a-B, my sistern, we will meet yo’, Y’a-a-s, my sisteru, we will meet yo’, Ya-a-s, my sistern, we will meet yo', Where partin is no mo’.

Tell me, comrades, is this death? Ab, how well I know your answer! To my fate I meekly bow. If you’ll only tell me truly Who will care for mother now? CHORUS. Soon with angels I’ll be marching, With bright laurels on my brow; I have for my country fallen. Who will care for mother now? Who will comfort her in sorrow? Who will dry the falling tear— Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead! Who will whisper words of cheer? Even now I think I see her Kneeling, praying for me—how Can I leave her in anguish? Who will care for mother now? Let this knapsack be my pillow, And my mantle be the sky. Hasten, oomrades, to the battle, I will like a soldier die.

A villager or two also had dropped in, and tbore were two peddlers lying half asleep In the corner. All these pricked up their ears more or less at my words. But, like most country folk, they were slow to take in anything new or unexpected, and I had to drink afresh and say again, "Here is bad luck to purveyors!” before any one took It up. Then the landlord showed he understood. “Aye, so say I!” be cried, with an oath. “Purveyors, indeed! It is such as they give the queen a bad name.” “God bless her!” quoth the monk loyal­ ly- “And drown the purveyors!” a fanner exclaimed. “They were here a year ago and left us as bare as a shorn sheep," etruck in a strapping villager, epeaking at a white beat, but telling roe no news, for this was what I had beard at Towcester the night before. “The queen should lie warm It she uses all the wool they took! And the pack horses they purveyed to carry off the plunder—why, the packmen avoid Strat­ ford ever since as though we bad the black death I Ob, down with the purveyors, say II The first that comes this way I will show the bottom of the Ouse. Aye, that I will, though I hang for it!" “Easy, easy, Tom Miller!" the host In­ terposed, affecting an air ot assurance, even while he oast au eyeot trouble at bis flitches. “It will be another ten years be­ fore they harry us again. There Is Pot­ ter’s Puryl They never took a tester’s worth from Potter’s Puryl No, nor from Preston Gobion! Buttbey will ¿o to them next, depend upon It!” “I hope they will,” I said, with a world of gloomy insinuation In my words. “But I doubt it!” And this time my hint was not wasted. The landlord changed color. “What are you driving at, master?” he asked mildly, while the others looked at ine in silence and waited for more. “What if there be one across the road now?” I said, giving way to the tempta­ tion and speaking falsely—for which I paid dearly afterward. "A purveyor, I mean, unless I am mistaken In him, or be tells lies. Be has come straight from the chancellor, white wand, warrant and all. He Is taking his dinner now, but he has sent for the hundredman, so I guess he means business.” “For the hundredman?” repeated tbs landlord, his brows meeting “Yes, unless I am mistaken.” There was silence for a moment. Theo the man they called Tom Miller dashed bis cap on the floor, and folding his arms defiantly looked round on his neighbors. “He has come, has he!” be roared, his face swollen, his eyes bloodshot. “Then I will be as good as my word! Who will help? ¿ball we sit down and be shorn like sheep, as we were before, so that our children lay on the bare stones, and we pulled the plow ourselves? Or shall we show that we are free Englishmen and not slaves of Frenchmen? Shall we teach Master Pur­ veyor not to trouble ue again? Now, what say you, neighbors?" So fierce a growl of impatience and au­ ger rose round me as at oDce answered the question. A dozen red faces glared at me and at one another, and from the very mo­ tion and passion of the men as they snarled and threatened the room seemed twice as full as it was. Their oaths and cries of encouragement, not loud, but the more dangerous for that, the fresh burst of fury which rose as the village smith and an­ other came in and learned the news, the menacing gesturesofa score of brandished fists—these sights, though they told of the very effect at which I had aimed, scared as well as pleased me. I turned red and white and hesitated, fearing that I bad gone too far. The thing was done, howevei, and, what was more, I had soon to take care of my­ self. At the very moment when the hub­ bub was at Its loudesj I felt a chill run down my back as I met the monk’s eye, and, reading in it whimsical admiration, read in It something besides, and that was an unmistakable menace. “Clever lad!’' the eye said. “I will expose you," tt threatened. I had forgotten him—or, at any rate, that my acting would be transparent enough to him bolding the clew In bls hand—and bis look was like the shock of : cold water to me. But It is wonderful how keen the wits grow on the grindstone of necessity. With scarcely a second's hesitation I drew out my only piece ot gold, and unnoticed by the other men, who were busy swearing at and encourag­ ing one another, I disclosed a morsel of It. Tho monk’s crafty eyes glistened. 1 laid my finger on my lips. He held up two fingers. I shook my bead and showed au empty palm. I had no more. He nodded, and the relief that nod gave me was great. Before I bad time, however, to consider the narrowness of my escape a movement of the crowd—for the Dews had spread with strange swiftness, and there was now a crowd assembled which more than filled the room—proclaimed that tbs purveyor had come out and was in the street. The room was nearly emptied at a rush. Though I prudently remained behind, I could, through the open window, hear as well as see what passed. The leading spirits had naturally struggled out first and were gathered, sullen and full of dan­ gerous possibilities, about tbe porch. I suppose the bishop's messenger saw In them nothing but a crowd of country clowns, for be came hectoring toward the door, smiting his boot with his whip and puffing out his red cheeks mightily. He felt brave enough, now that he had dined and bad at bls back three stout constables sworn to keep the queen’s peace. 7’o be Continued. Dr. H. R.
