HOW PERsiMMONs TOO Cab Oh DER
RABY.
by LIZZIE W. CHAMPNEY

Persimmons was Il colored lad
Way down in Lou'syauni,
And all the teaching that he had
Was given him by his granny,
But he did his duty ever
An well us you, it may be;
With faithfulness and pride always
He minded missus' baby.
He loved the counscls Of the saints,
And, sometimes, those of sinners,
TO run off 'possum- hunting and
Steal "water-millon" dinners.
And fervently at meetim', too,
On every Sunday night,
He'd with the elders shout and pray
BY the pinc-knots' tlaring light,
And sing their rudest melodies,
With voice so full and strong,
You could almost think he learned them
From the angels triumph song
