# Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings/Race Improvement
## His Sayings
### VIII. Race Improvement

“Dere’s a kind er limberness ’bout niggers dese days dat’s mighty cu’us,” remarked Uncle Remus yesterday, as he deposited a pitcher of fresh water upon the exchange table. “I notisses it in de alley-ways an on de street-cornders. Dey er rackin’ up, mon, deze yer cullud fokes is.”
“What are you trying to give us now?” inquired one of the young men, in a bilious tone.
“The old man’s mind is wandering,” said the society editor, smoothing the wrinkles out of his lavender kids.
Uncle Remus laughed. “I speck I is a gittin’ mo frailer dan I wuz ’fo’ de fahmin days wuz over, but I sees wid my eyes an’ I years wid my year, same ez enny er dese yer young bucks w’at goes a gallopin’ roun’ huntin’ up devilment, an’ w’en I sees de limberness er dese yer cullud people, an’ w’en I sees how dey er dancin’ up, den I gits sorter hopeful. Dey er kinder ketchin’ up wid me.”
“How is that?”
“Oh, dey er movin’,” responded Uncle Remus. “Dey er sorter comin’ ’roun’. Dey er gittin’ so dey b’leeve dat dey ain’t no better dan de w’ite fokes. W’en freedom come out de niggers sorter got dere humps up, an’ dey staid dat way, twel bimeby dey begun fer ter git hongry, an’ den dey begun fer ter drap inter line right smartually; an’ now,” continued the old man, emphatically, “dey er des ez palaverous ez dey wuz befo’ de war. Dey er gittin’ on solid groun’, mon.”
“You think they are improving, then?”
“Youer chawin’ guv’nment now, boss. You slap de law onter a nigger a time er two, an’ larn ’im dat he’s got fer to look after his own rashuns an’ keep out’n udder fokes’s chick’n-coops, an’ sorter coax ’im inter de idee dat he’s got ter feed ’is own chilluns, an’ I be blessed ef you ain’t got ’im on risin’ groun’. An’, mo’n dat, w’en he gits holt er de fack dat a nigger k’n have yaller fever same ez w’ite folks, you done got ’im on de mo’ners’ bench, an’ den ef you come down strong on de p’int dat he oughter stan’ fas’ by de fokes w’at hope him w’en he wuz in trouble de job’s done. W’en you does dat, ef you ain’t got yo’ han’s on a new-made nigger, den my name ain’t Remus, an’ ef dat name’s bin changed I ain’t seen her abbertized.”

### I. Revival Hymn

Oh, whar shill we go w’en de great day comes, Wid de blowin’ er de trumpits en de bangin’ er de drums? How many po’ sinners’ll be kotched out late En fin’ no latch ter de golden gate?  No use fer ter wait twel termorrer!  De sun mus’n’t set on yo’ sorrer,  Sin’s ez sharp ez a bamboo-brier—  Oh, Lord! fetch de mo’ners up higher!
W’en de nashuns er de earf is a stan’in all aroun, Who’s a gwineter be choosen fer ter w’ar de glory-crown? Who’s a gwine fer ter stan’ stiff-kneed en bol’, En answer to der name at de callin’ er de roll?  You better come now ef you comin’—  Ole Satun is loose en a bummin’—  De wheels er distruckshun is a hummin’—  Oh, come long, sinner, ef you comin’!
De song er salvashun is a mighty sweet song, En de Pairidise win’ blow fur en blow strong, En Aberham’s bosom, hit’s saft en hit’s wide, En right dar’s de place whar de sinners oughter hide!  Oh, you nee’nter be a stoppin’ en a lookin’;  Ef you fool wid ole Satun you’ll git took in;  You’ll hang on de aidge en get shook in,  Ef you keep on a stoppin’ en a lookin’.
De time is right now, en dish yer’s de place— Let de sun er salvashun shine squar’ in yo’ face; Fight de battles er de Lord, fight soon en fight late, En you’ll allers fine a latch ter de golden gate.  No use fer ter wait twel termorrer,  De sun musn’t set on yo’ sorrer—  Sin’s ez sharp ez a bamboo-brier,  Ax de Lord fer ter fetch you up higher!

### XI. The Emigrants

When Uncle Remus went down to the passenger depot one morning recently, the first sight that caught his eye was an old negro man, a woman, and two children sitting in the shade near the door of the baggage-room. One of the children was very young, and the quartet was altogether ragged and forlorn-looking. The sympathies of Uncle Remus were immediately aroused. He approached the group by forced marches, and finally unburdened his curiosity:
“Whar is you m’anderin’ unter, pard?”
The old negro, who seemed to be rather suspicious, looked at Uncle Remus coolly, and appeared to be considering whether he should make any reply. Finally, however, he stretched himself and said:
“We er gwine down in de naberhoods er Tallypoosy, an we ain’t makin’ no fuss ’bout it, nudder.”
“I disremember,” said Uncle Remus, thoughtfully, “whar Tallypoosy is.”
“Oh, hit’s out yan,” replied the old man, motioning his head as if it was just beyond the iron gates of the depot. “Hit’s down in Alabam. When we git dar, maybe well go on twel we gits ter Massasip.”
“Is you got enny folks out dar?” inquired Uncle Remus.
“None dat I knows un.”
“An’ youer takin’ dis ’oman an’ deze chillun out dar whar dey dunno nobody? Whar’s yo’ perwisions?” eying a chest with a rope around it.
“Dem’s our bedcloze,” the old negro explained, noticing the glance of Uncle Remus. “All de vittles what we got we e’t ’fo’ we started.”
“An’ you speck ter retch dar safe an soun’? Whar’s yo’ ticket?”
“Ain’t got none. De man say ez how dey’d pass us thoo. I gin a man a fi’-dollar bill ’fo’ I lef’ Jonesboro, an’ he sed dat settled it.”
“Lemme tell you dis,” said Uncle Remus, straightening up indignantly: “you go an’ rob somebody an’ git on de chain-gang, an’ let de ’oman scratch ’roun’ yer an’ make ’er livin’; but don’t you git on dem kyars—don’t you do it. Yo’ bes’ holt is de chain-gang. You kin make yo’ livin’ dar w’en you can’t make it nowhars else. But don’t you git on dem kyars. Ef you do, youer gone nigger. Ef you ain’t got no money fer ter walk back wid, you better des b’il’ yo’ nes’ right here. I’m a-talkin’ wid de bark on. I done seed deze yer Arkinsaw emmygrants come lopin’ back, an’ some un ’em didn’t have rags nuff on ’em fer ter hide dere nakidness. You leave dat box right whar she is, an, let de ’oman take wun young un an you take de udder wun, an’ den you git in de middle er de big road an’ pull out fer de place whar you come fum. I’m preachin’ now.”
Those who watched say the quartet didn’t take the cars.

#### (Putnam County–1856.)

Hit’s a gittin’ mighty late, w’en de Guinny-hins squall, En you better dance now, ef you gwineter dance a tall, Fer by dis time termorrer night you can’t hardly crawl, Kaze you’ll hatter take de hoe ag’in en likewise de maul— Don’t you hear dat bay colt a kickin’ in his stall?  Stop yo’ humpin’ up yo’ sho’lders do!  Dat’ll never do!  Hop light, ladies,  Oh, Miss Loo!  Hit takes a heap er scrougin’  For ter git you thoo—  Hop light, ladies,  Oh, Miss Loo!
Ef you niggers don’t watch, you’ll sing anudder chune, Fer de sun’ll rise’n ketch you ef you don’t be mighty soon; En de stars is gittin’ paler, en de ole gray coon Is a settin’ in de grape-vine a watchin’ fer de moon.  W’en a feller comes a knockin’  Des holler—Oh, shoo!  Hop light, ladies,  Oh, Miss Loo!  Oh, swing dat yaller gal!  Do, boys, do!  Hop light, ladies,  Oh, Miss Loo!
Oh, tu’n me loose! Lemme ’lone! Go way, now! W’at you speck I come a dancin’ fer ef I dunno how?

# Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings/Preface and Dedication to the New Edition
## Preface and Dedication to the New Edition

To Arthur Burdette Frost:
Dear Frost:
I am expected to supply a preface for this new edition of my first book—to advance from behind the curtain, as it were, and make a fresh bow to the public that has dealt with Uncle Remus in so gentle and generous a fashion. For this event the lights are to be rekindled, and I am expected to respond in some formal way to an encore that marks the fifteenth anniversary of the book. There have been other editions—how many I do not remember—but this is to be an entirely new one, except as to the matter: new type, new pictures, and new binding.
But, as frequently happens on such occasions, I am at a loss for a word. I seem to see before me the smiling faces of thousands of children—some young and fresh, and some wearing the friendly marks of age, but all children at heart—and not an unfriendly face among them. And out of the confusion, and while I am trying hard to speak the right word, I seem to hear a voice lifted above the rest, saying “You have made some of us happy.” And so I feel my heart fluttering and my lips trembling, and I have to how silently and him away, and hurry back into the obscurity that fits me best.
Phantoms! Children of dreams! True, my dear Frost; but if you could see the thousands of letters that have come to me from far and near, and all fresh from the hearts and hands of children, and from men and women who have not forgotten how to be children, you would not wonder at the dream. And such a dream can do no harm. Insubstantial though it may be, I would not at this hour exchange it for all the fame won by my mightier brethren of the pen—whom I most humbly salute.
Measured by the material developments that have compressed years of experience into the space of a day, thus increasing the possibilities of life, if not its beauty, fifteen years constitute the old age of a book. Such a survival might almost be said to be due to a tiny sluice of green sap under the gray bark. where it lies in the matter of this book, or what its source if, indeed, it be really there—is more of a mystery to my middle age than it was to my prime.
But it would be no mystery at all if this new edition were to be more popular than the old one. Do you know why? Because you have taken it under your hand and made it yours. Because you have breathed the breath of life into these amiable brethren of wood and field. Because, by a stroke here and a touch there, you have conveyed into their quaint antics the illumination of your own inimitable humor, which is as true to our sun and soil as it is to the spirit and essence of the matter set forth.
The book was mine, but now you have made it yours, both sap and pith. Take it, therefore, my dear Frost, and believe me, faithfully yours,
Joel Chandler Harris

United States Supreme Court
365 U.S. 290
United States v. Lucchese
Argued: Dec. 8 and 12, 1960. --- Decided: Feb 20, 1961
This denaturalization proceeding was brought in the District Court for the Eastern District of New York under § 338(a) of the Nationality Act of 1940. 8 U.S.C. (1946 ed.) § 738. The 'good cause' affidavit was not filed with the complaint. The District Court dismissed the complaint following our decision in United States v. Zucca, 351 U.S. 91, 76 S.Ct. 671, 100 L.Ed. 964, 'without prejudice to the government's right to institute a proceeding to denaturalize the defendant upon the filing of the required affidavit.' 149 F.Supp. 952. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed, holding that the dismissal motion should have been denied. 247 F.2d 123. We reversed and ordered the case 'remanded to the District Court with directions to dismiss' the complaint. 356 U.S. 256, 78 S.Ct. 713, 2 L.Ed.2d 741. The District Court on the remand declined to order a dismissal 'without prejudice' and instead entered an order which did not specify whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissed the Government's appeal in an unreported opinion which stated that 'there was no basis for (the district judge) to take action other than he did, namely, to comply with the clear command of the Supreme Court, without attempted embellishment. We have no occasion now to pass on the effect of that command upon possible later litigation.'
The Government filed its petition for certiorari only to assure its right to proceed against the respondent in a new proceeding in the event that we should rule in Costello v. United States, 365 U.S. 265, 81 S.Ct. 534, 5 L.Ed.2d 551, that the order entered by the District Court for the Southern District of New York in that case precluded the institution of the second denaturalization action against Costello. Our decision today in Costello establishes that such a form of dismissal does not bar a subsequent proceeding against the respondent. The writ is therefore dismissed.
Dismissed.
Mr. Justice HARLAN took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
