Eighth-A dozen or more niggers, all
with handkerchrrs-in their pockets
and shown ther worries fiiriouslv.
This cheerful procession reached the
church, wich it entered, all the men,
bers thereof holdin ther heads down iu-
bilantly, ceptm Pollock, Bigler. and the
niggers. We marched slowly up the
aislcs, takin the cheer without the for
mality Nv vote.
After settin decorously for perhaps
three minnits, each with his head bowed
in high glee onto the sect atore him,
Deekin Pogram arose, and wipin his
eyes, remarkt that the occashen wuz one
NV great exilerashun; we he'd heard
from Maine (pensive cheers from the
awjence) and we he'd gathered together
to .jollifi, and sot down overcome with
his ttelns.
Another interval NV three minnits
cloaed, wich WIZ spent by the populis
in the most exhileratin meditashen with
ther heads bowed Elder Pennibacker
then arose, and putin his damp handker-
cher in bis pocket, bl:thely askt eff it
woodent be well to read the vote Dy
Issaker Gavit, spreadin his handker
cher on the back NV his seat afore him to
dry, and usin his coat tales in its place,
vivacously observed that it would high
tin the interest NV the occashun ef the
sed vote wuz compared with the precedin
years, and he sat down jubilantly, his
eyes sutfused with teers. s.aye
Bascom, with animashen born NV high
bones, remarkts that the result would
doubtless hev all effeckt on Ohio and
PennsylvaHy; at witch the audience, ez
wun man, spritefully exclamd, "God for
bid" .S1r117AHi p -'i3"taa
After settin in cheerful, buoyant silence
for perhaps ten minnits, Deekin Pogram
moved that ez we he'd jollified long enuf
perhaps it would be well to adjurn, at
wich the aujence moved with decorous
slowness out NV the church, and each
went to his own home peculiarly, and
without eny NV that levitt and noisiness
wlch has marked other occashens NV the
kind. BaFcom remembered at little
past ten, ez him, Pegrapi. and me set
in his bar, that we he'd forgottin in our
excitement to give any cheers for Sey-
mour and Blair, but it wuz too late to
get EN- together again, snd so we let 1t
GO.
l notist, however, ez Ipassed Pollock's
store that party gathered there felt
well: Bigler, Pollock, the free Mi ggers
uvEthe Corners, and a parcel NY n orth
ern men who hev settled on the Run,
west Nv town, he'd gathered together,
and ther cheers for Grant, and ther hip,
hip, hurrahs for Maine, grated haorsly on
my feelins. Kin it be that Seymour is
10 be beaten after all? Kin it be that in
my old age shell be turned out NV my
haven Nv rest, that Pollock will her my
place, and that the place wich knows
me now will shortly know me no more
forever sa. fra ~ ff
Convulsively kissin the stamp, and
with a lovin look at the male bags, l
sunk sobbin onto my couch. Thus ended
this auspishus day.
