duVlCe HAu 10 OHer, never having
been in such a situation before. The
deceased was dressed in her Sunday
calico, placed in rude coffin which
one of the men had spent the night in
making, and the grave was dug on 8
knoll about forty rods away. About
twenty-five people were in attendance
and every one was genuine sympa-
thizer. Each man, as he shook hands
with Morgan, said:
"I'm powerfully sorry, Dan but it
had to be-"
And each woman tried to comfort
Mrs. Morgan by saying:
"She's better off, poor thing - a
heap better off nor we who ar left in
this shuckless world"
When the time came for the preacher
to step forward and officiate his nerve
failed him, and he arose and said:
"He'un is from the moth, and he'un
knows better what to say. Let he'un
go ahead"

to live in such way as not to make
the Lord ashamed of us. Ye mought
not be a purfessing Christian, but we
are shure yer heart is right"
l tried to comfort them in their
sorrow; they were all fervent singers,
and somehow we got along all right.
When the mother took her last look
at her dead child she held up her
hands and said:
ooh, Lord, Pm a-dependin' on We
through all my fluctuations! Pm
only pore critter in the mountains,
and l kin skeercely spell yer name in
print, but don't desart me now when
heaps of trouble press me down. Let
Poll into heaven, and when the rest
of us die let US in, too, and we will
praise Thy name forever. Amen"
When all had taken last look every
eye was wet with tears. Rough, un-
couth, Misunderstanding scarcely like
civilized beings-but their hearts were
as tender as children's, and their words
were honest. AS the coffin lid was
being screwed down an old woman
spoke up:
stranger, heavens for all, amt it?"
"Yes-for ALL"
"Them rich folkses in Greensboro
don't stand no better show than us
pore critters in the hills?"
"Not Bit"
"And the Lord won't shet any of

"Glory was afeared He would,
though it amt in my bible"
She fell back and quietly used her
snutf-stick, and six of us carried the
body to the grave. A hundred thous-
and eulogies' might have been pro-
nounced, but none could have equaled
the few words that dropped from the
lips of gray haired mountaineer who
stepped forward. Clasping his hands
he whispered
ooh, Lord, we've sent We another
soul to judge. Be merciful and re-
member the burden she had to bear"
There was but one room in the
house. l had one of the two beds, and
wife and husband had the other, and
the boy slept on a bunk. At mid
night the wife called over to me in
the darkness:
stranger, ar ye shore about heav-

"How?"
"Hain't SO many rich and dedicated
folks died that thar won't be room

And when l treasured her she fell
asleep within five minutes, perfectly
