OLD Moan b. was, in his old age, given
when in his cups, to religion. One day his
"old woman" sent him out to split wood, but
coming across brandy bottle he came
home very much "obfusticated," his errand
unaccomplished Taking seat, he COM
menced with:
"Wife-wife, do you think the Lord, in
bis goodness, (hic) kin send us into fire ever
iasting!'
No answer from his wife, who WAS highly
ncensed to find her liege lord in such con-
dition.
"Wife, kin the Lord intend to burn us all
in fire everlasting?"
Mrs. B. by this time, was boiling over with
Indignation, but still no answer.
"Wife, (hic) so you think the Lord means
(hic) to burn us all (hic) in fire everlastin'?'
This was more than human patience could
endure, and she could not hold her tongue
any longer; she'd speak out if she died for it:
"No! yer old fool yer! not if he waits for
YOU to split the wood!'
