friends?" eyes, have" WAS they
near friends?" eyes, they was" 'Hov
near?'' "a husband and brother
"Where did they die?" 'Down in Mo.
bile" what did they die with?' "Yel
low fever "Was they LONG sick?'

chists?" Eyes, I did" "Was they
hopefully pious?" II hope and trus
they was" "Well, If you got thei
chists, and they was hopefully pious

placing of their rescue before the piet,
of the lost husband and brother as rea
sons for thankfulness struck Emerson
as exceedingly characteristic of Ger
tain class of Yankees, and infinitel.
rnirth-provoking.
