mus, and to my mind, if the whole thing We
stewed down it would make about half o pin
Of humbug. We had good men, great men
Christian men, who thought we was right
and many of 'em have gone to the undlskoV

Well, msybeI've said enufl But dom

and shure. I've had my breeches died 6l'te
and Eve bot blue bucket, and very often
feel blue, and about twice in while, 1 60 to
the doggery and git 6lue, and then lock up
at the blue serulean heavens and sing the
melancholy ehoryas of the Blue.tailed Fly
I'm doing my durndest to harmonic, and
think could succeed if it wasent for sum

tho streets with gun on his shoulder, why
right then, for few minits, hate the whole
Yanky nation. Jerusalem, how my blood
biles. The institution what was handed down

Harmonize the devil! Amt we human be-

and taiukin Why the whole Of Afriky has
come to town, women and children, and ba-
bies AID balloons and all. A man can tell
how fur it is to the city b. the smell better
than The mile post. They won't work for US,
and they wont workfor themselves, and they'll
perish to death this winter as shore as the
devil is hog, so-called. Ehey are now baskin
in the summers sun, livin on roastin ears and
freedom, with nary idee that the winter will
cum arin. or that caster oil aad salts costs
money. Some Of 'etn hundred years cid,
are v,hiuin around about goin to kawlidge.
The truth is, my friend, sumbody's badly
fooled about this bizness. Sumbody has
draWed the elefant in this lottery, and don't
know what to do with him. He's jest thrown
his snout about loose, and by-andby he'll
hurt sumbody. These nigsers will have to
go back to the plantations and work. / amt
agoin to support nary ono of 'em, and when
you hear anybody say SO, you tell 'em its q
iie," so called golly, amt got nuthin TO
support myself on. We fout ourselves out OF
everything except children and land, and
suppose the land are to be turned over to the
negroes for grayeyards.
We'll, my friend, don't want much. laint
ambitious as used to was. You all have got
YOUR shows and monkeys and sirkasses and
brass bands and organs, and eau play on the
petroleum and the harp Of thous'nd strings
and so on, but I've only got one favor to AK
of YOU. want enuf powder to kill big
WALLER stump-tail dog that prowls rounds my
premises at night. Pom honor, l went shoot
anything blue or black or mullatteI. Will
YOU send itg Are you and yonr foaks so
skeered of me and'my foaks, that you won't
let us have any amynishun i? Are the squirls
and crows and black raccoons to eat up our
poor little corn patches? Are the wild tur-
KEYS to gobble all round US with impunity
If mad.dog takes the AiderfOby, is the
whole community to run. itself to death tc

y YOUR pepuI had TUX the rebelsoby for good
and was never gwine to git over it. See
