# Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings/As to Education
## His Sayings
### XVII. As to Education

As Uncle Remus came up Whitehall Street recently, he met a little colored boy carrying a slate and a number of books. Some words passed between them, but their exact purport will probably never be known. They were unpleasant, for the attention of a wandering policeman was called to the matter by hearing the old man bawl out:
“Don’t you come foolin’ longer me, nigger. Youer flippin’ yo’ sass at de wrong color. You k’n go roun’ yer an’ sass deze w’ite people, an’ maybe dey’ll stan’ it, but w’en you come a-slingin’ yo’ jaw at a man w’at wuz gray w’en de fahmin’ days gin out, you better go an’ git yo’ hide greased.”
“What’s the matter, old man?” asked a sympathizing policeman.
“Nothin’, boss, ’ceppin I ain’t gwineter hav’ no nigger chillun a hoopin’ an’ a hollerin’ at me w’en I’m gwine long de streets.”
“Oh, well, school-children—you know how they are.
“Dat’s w’at make I say w’at I duz. Dey better be home pickin’ up chips. W’at a nigger gwineter larn outen books? I kin take a bar’l stave an’ fling mo’ sense inter a nigger in one minnit dan all de schoolhouses betwixt dis en de State er Midgigin. Don’t talk, honey! Wid one bar’l stave I kin fa’rly lif’ de vail er ignunce.”
“Then you don’t believe in education?”
“Hit’s de ruinashun er dis country. Look at my gal. De ole ’oman sont ’er ter school las’ year, an’ now we dassent hardly ax ’er fer ter kyar de washin’ home. She done got beyant ’er bizness. I ain’t larnt nuthin’ in books, ’en yit I kin count all de money I gits. No use talkin’, boss. Put a spellin’-book in a nigger’s han’s, en right den en dar’ you loozes a plow-hand. I done had de speunce un it.”

### XIII. His Practical View of Things

“Brer Remus, is you heern tell er deze doin’s out yer in de udder eend er town?” asked a colored deacon of the church the other day.
“W’at doin’s is dat, Brer Ab?”
“Deze yer signs an’ wunders whar dat cullud lady died day ’fo’ yistiddy. Mighty quare goin’s on out dar, Brer Remus, sho’s you bawn.”
“Sperrits?” inquired Uncle Remus, sententiously.
“Wuss’n dat, Brer Remus. Some say dat jedgment day ain’t fur off, an’ de folks is flockin’ ’roun’ de house a hollerin’ an’ a- shoutin’ des like dey wuz in er revival. In de winder glass dar you kin see de flags a flyin’, an’ Jacob’s lather is dar, an’ dar’s writin’ on de pane w’at no man can’t read—leas’wise dey ain’t none read it yit.”
“W’at kinder racket is dis youer givin’ un me now, Brer Ab?”
“I done bin dar, Brer Remus; I done seed um wid bofe my eyes. Cullud lady what wuz intranced done woke up an’ say dey ain’t much time fer ter tarry. She say she meet er angel in de road, an’ he p’inted straight fer de mornin’ star, an’ tell her fer ter prepar’. Hit look mighty cu’us, Brer Remus.”
“Cum down ter dat, Brer Ab,” said Uncle Remus, wiping his spectacles carefully, and readjusting them—“cum down ter dat, an’ dey ain’t nuthin’ dat ain’t cu’us. I ain’t no spishus nigger myse’f, but I ’spizes fer ter year dogs a howlin’ an’ squinch-owls havin’ de ager out in de woods, an’ w’en a bull goes a bellerin’ by de house den my bones git col’ an’ my flesh commences fer ter creep; but w’en it comes ter deze yer sines in de a’r an’ deze yer sperrits in de woods, den I’m out—den I’m done. I is, fer a fack. I bin livin’ yer more’n seventy year, an’ I year talk er niggers seein’ ghos’es all times er night an’ all times er day, but I ain’t never seed none yit; an’ deze yer flags an’ Jacob’s lathers, I ain’t seed dem, nudder.”
“Dey er dar, Brer Remus.”
“Hit’s des like I tell you, Brer Ab. I ain’t ’sputin’ ’bout it, but I ain’t seed um, an’ I don’t take no chances deze days on dat w’at I don’t see, an’ dat w’at I sees I got ter ’zamine mighty close. Lemme tell you dis, Brer Ab: don’t you let deze sines onsettle you. W’en old man Gabrile toot his ho’n, he ain’t gwineter hang no sine out in de winder-panes, an when ole Fadder Jacob lets down dat lather er his’n you’ll be mighty ap’ fer ter hear de racket. An’ don’t you bodder wid jedgment-day. Jedgment-day is lierbul fer ter take keer un itse’f.”
“Dat’s so, Brer Remus.”
“Hit’s bleedzed ter be so, Brer Ab. Hit don’t bodder me. Hit’s done got so now dat w’en I gotter pone er bread, an’ a rasher er bacon, an’ nuff grease fer ter make gravy, I ain’t keerin’ much w’edder fokes sees ghos’es er no.”

### XII. As a Murderer

Uncle Remus met a police officer recently.
“You ain’t hear talk er no dead nigger nowhar dis mawnin’, is you, boss?” asked the old man earnestly.
“No,” replied the policeman, reflectively. “No, I believe not. Have you heard of any?”
“’Pears unter me dat I come mighty nigh gittin’ some news bout dat size, an’ dat’s w’at I’m a huntin’ fer. Bekaze ef dey er foun’ a stray nigger layin’ ’roun’ loose, wid ’is bref gone, den I wanter go home an’ git my brekfus’ an’ put on some clean cloze, an’ ’liver myse’f up ter wunner deze yer jestesses er de peace, an git a fa’r trial.”
“Why, have you killed anybody?”
“Dat’s w’at’s I’m a ’quirin’ inter now, but I wouldn’t be sustonished ef I ain’t laid a nigger out some’rs on de subbubs. Hit’s done got so it’s agin de law fer ter bus’ loose an’ kill a nigger, ain’t it, boss?”
“Well, I should say so. You don’t mean to tell me that you have killed a colored man, do you?”
“I speck I is, boss. I speck I done gone an’ done it dis time, sho.’ Hit’s bin sorter growin’ on me, an’ it come ter a head dis mawnin’, ’less my name ain’t Remus, an’ dat’s w’at dey bin er callin’ me sence I wuz ole er ’nuff fer ter scratch myse’f wid my lef’ han’.”
“Well, if you’ve killed a man, you’ll have some fun, sure enough. How was it?”
“Hit wuz dis way, boss: I wuz layin’ in my bed dis mawnin’ sorter ruminatin’ ’roun’, when de fus news I know’d I year a fus’ ’mong de chickens, an’ den my brissels riz. I done had lots er trubble wid dem chickens, an’ w’en I years wun un um squall my ve’y shoes comes ontied. So I des sorter riz up an’ retch fer my ole muskit, and den I crope out er de back do’, an’ w’atter you reckin I seed?”
“I couldn’t say.”
“I seed de biggest, blackest nigger dat you ever laid eyes on. He shined like de paint on ’im was fresh. He hed done grabbed fo’ er my forwardes’ pullets. I crope up nigh de do’, an’ hollered an’ axed ’im how he wuz a gittin’ on, an’ den he broke, an’ ez he broke I jammed de gun in de small er his back and banged aloose. He let a yell like forty yaller cats a courtin’, an’ den he broke. You ain’t seed no nigger hump hisse’f like dat nigger. He tore down de well shelter and fo’ pannils er fence, an’ de groun’ look like wunner deze yer harrycanes had lit dar and fanned up de yeath.”
“Why, I thought you killed him?”
“He bleedzed ter be dead, boss. Ain’t I put de gun right on ’im? Seem like I feel ’im give way w’en she went off.”
“Was the gun loaded?”
“Dat’s w’at my ole ’oman say. She had de powder in dar, sho’, but I disremember wedder I put de buckshot in, er wedder I lef’ um out. Leas’ways, I’m gwineter call on wunner deze yer jestesses. So long, boss.”

### XIX. As a Weather Prophet

Uncle Remus was enlightening a crowd of negroes at the car-shed yesterday.
“Dar ain’t nuthin’,” said the old man, shaking his head pensively, “dat ain’t got no change wrote on it. Dar ain’t nothin dat ain’t spotted befo’ hit begins fer ter commence. We all speunces dat p’overdence w’at lifts us up fum one place an’ sets us down in de udder. Hit’s continerly a movin’ an a movin’.”
“Dat’s so!” “Youer talkin’ now!” came from several of his hearers.
“I year Miss Sally readin’ dis mawnin,” continued the old man, “dat a man wuz comin’ down yer fer ter take keer er de wedder—wunner deze yer Buro mens w’at goes ’roun’ a puttin’ up an’ pullin’ down.”
“W’at he gwine do ’roun’ yer?” asked one.
“He’s a gwineter regelate de wedder,” replied Uncle Remus, sententiously. “He’s a gwineter fix hit up so dat dere won’t be so much worriment ’mong de w’ite fokes ’bout de kinder wedder w’at falls to dere lot.”
“He gwine dish em up,” suggested one of the older ones, “like man dish out sugar.”
“No,” answered Uncle Remus, mopping his benign features with a very large and very red bandana. “He’s a gwineter fix um better’n dat. He’s a gwineter fix um up so you kin have any kinder wedder w’at you want widout totin’ her home.”
“How’s dat?” asked some one.
“Hit’s dis way,” said the old man, thoughtfully. “In co’se you knows w’at kinder wedder you wants. Well, den, w’en de man comes long, w’ich Miss Sally say he will, you des gotter go up dar, pick out yo’ wedder an’ dere’ll be a clock sot fer ter suit yo’ case, an’ w’en you git home, dere’ll be yo’ wedder a settin’ out in de yard waitin’ fer you. I wish he wuz yer now,” the old man continued. “I’d take a pa’r er frosts in mine, ef I kotched cold fer it. Dat’s me!”
There were various exclamations of assent, and the old man went on his way singing, “Don’t you Grieve Atter Me.”
