coward men had gone of to kill our
good people and the women were at
work in the hospitals and all John had
to do was to whip lot of little chill
dren and help himself know them
ere folks are wicked, mean, ongrateful
set, and out to be killed"
Mrs. Puritan wanted to know if il
was true that the people of the South
actually cooked billed dinners on Sun
day If they did, she really hoped her
cousin in Congress would pass q law
that whenever a man in the South
cooked billed dinner on Sunday he
should be hung before dinner and his
e!!ed e!!e.i diner snou'1i oe sent North
Mrs. Pinchbaek hoped the war
would continer to go on till there was
no morccnd Of nothing For herpart IL
was all stuff about the people suffering
during the war. Her Josiah had a con-
tract and made two hundred thousand
dollars the first year, and when her
brother Reverend Perkuoso Ranter
came back from the war where he had
periled his precious life, eating pre-
serves so they would not hurt sick
soldiers, he brought home more than
fifty gold watches and the incest gold
clasp Bible, which was now used every
Sunday in one OF the Buttonville
Churches.
Mrs Squeak said the people of the
South were nothing but murderers,
for when her brother, Colonel Fibre
Hunter was out in field, doing nothin,
KILN nobody, doin' nothin, but just
seem how much cotton an army team
could drag, so he could tell if it was a
good team, some cowardly gorilla shot
hole clean through him and wouldn't
even send his clothes home for her
Jedediah to wear out And she hoped
if another war ever did come, some Of
them sinful men of the West would
go down and do it to 'em agin, not
that she cared as much for brother,
butshe wanted them are clothes for
her Jedediah I!
Mrs. Cockeye said she hoped there
would be a hull passel of wars, for her
cousin, her dear good cousin, Benja-
min Cthe BEAST had made lots of
money in the late war, and had sup
piled nearly all her relations with
spoons, watches, silverware, &c, and
said it was right the war should go
on, for her cousin was safer in the war
than before a court of Justice even,
and said it was a Christian duty TO let
all Christian wars be continnered so
long as there was anybody to con-
timer 'em.
Mrs. Sniviller here spoke again
"Well | don't care now how. The
South should be fought What right
had they 10 have cotton picked by
niggers without asking our consent
And they were rich.-And they had
nice things. And we believe niger
baby is of more account than a white
pauper in the North And my hus-
band, Deacon Sniviller, wants more
bones to make buttons of, he'll sell the
buttons to South and West, and they
will haze to pay us New England
Christians for the privilege of wearing
out their own bones.
By this time tea was ready. We
had a good tea. Such curious silver
ware, old style, pure silver, didn't
taste brassy a bit, and all of US ladies
; tasted all the silver dishes TO see ! And
such lot of spoons with our initials
on. Mrs Sniviller had a barrel of sill.
yer spoons, and hunted them over
till she found our regelar initials in
regular orderl Oh, il was so nice
} And we piled all the shirts up in a
chair, and put Bible rescued from the
wicked South on the top of the pile
and then Rcv. Mr.. Slammer came uT
and made a prayer, while Mrs. Dayw
Ter on a nice rosewood piano played
that patriotic piece of music,
John Browns body lies mouldering in the grave
John Browns body lies mouldcrins in the grave
John Browns body lies moudering in the grave
Glory, Glory Halalujah.
