"The old man is erect and his eye as bright as

dead horse, or devour fricasseed dog, or could
see him standing like warrior, gaunt and grim
at kitchen door in Uniontown, extracting the
marrow from beef bone, or could surprise him
reclining in the genial sunshine, endeavoring to
flecimate the insects THAT trouble his rest withah
we repeat if our city friend could behold all
