Professor William Matthews, in the

Emerson was once greatly amused with
the following anecdote: A lady, deeply
yelled and dressed in mourning, was rid
ing in stage coach in Vermont, opposite
TO whom sat a small, sbarp-festured,
oiack-eyed woman, who began catechiz-
ing her thus: "Hsve you lost friends?"
Yes, have" "Wss they near friende?"
Eyes, they wse." How pesr?' IA hus-
band and brother" where did they
die?" down to Mobile" "What did
they die with?" "Yellow fever" "Wss
they seafarln' men?" "Yes they was"
ibid you get tbeii chists?" "Yes, |
dld" "Was they hopefully pioue?" 81
hope and trust they wes." "Well. il
YOU got their chists spd they was hope
fully pious, you have great reason to be
thankful" The stress laid on the
"chists" and the placing OF their rescue
before the piety OF the lost husband and
brother as reasons Of thankfulnees,
struck Emerson as exceedingly charact-
eristic Of a certain class of Yankees ard
infinitely mirth-prevoking.
