GREGORY'S SEED CATALOGUE.

1854-1884]

My Vegetable and Flower Seed Catalogue for 1884, the result of thirty
years experience as a Seed Grower, will be sent free to all who apply.
All my Seed is warranted to be fresh and true to name, so far that
should it prove otherwise, I agree to refill orders gratis. My
collection of vegetable Seed, one of the most extensive to be found in
any American Catalogue, is a large part of it of my own growing. As the
original introducer of Eclipse Beet, Burbank Potatoes, Marblehead Early
Corn, the Hubbard Squash, and scores of other new Vegetables, I invite
the patronage of the public. In the gardens and on the farms of those
who plant my seed will be found my best advertisement.

JAMES J. H. GREGORY, Seed Grower, Marblehead, Mass.

LITERATURE.

BETWEEN THE TWO LIGHTS.

No use talking, missy--no use talking
'Bout de daylight and dat kind ob ting
'Tween the two lights--sunset and sunrising--
Dis ole nigger happier dan a king.
Dis ole nigger don got all he want to,
All he want, and more 'an he can say;
Gib him night, de darker and de better,
White folks more 'an welcome to de day.

In de day him ole and pore and wretched,
Got to tote de load and swing de hoe,
Got to do jest what de white folks tole him,
Got to trabel when dey tole him go.
Don't own nothing but an empty cabin;
Got no wife, no chillen at hi
