=ough-shod, and have all the will he
ever did have trodden into the dust"
well, that is what will happen,
or I'll miss my guess" said Hannah
Morse. For a long while I thought
she was right. 1t was really pitiful
to see Lemuel. He didn't have no
more liberty than a five-year-old boy,
and not so much. Mehitable wouldn't
fet him do this and that, and if there
was anythin' he wanted to do, she
was sot against it, and he'd always
give right in.
Mehitable she bought all his
clothes. an she favored long-tailed
coats, an he bein' such short man,
never looked we'll in 'em, and she
wouldn't let him have store shirts
and collars, but made them herself,
and she didn't have very good pat
terms, she used her fathers old ones,
and he wasn't no such built man as
Remuel, and I know he suffered ev-
erything, both in his pride an his
feelin's. Lemuel began to look real
downtrod. He didn't seem like half
such a man as he did, and the queer.
est thing about it was: Mehitable
didn't pear to like the work of her
own hands, SO to speak.
One day she talked to me about it.
II dunno what 'tis,'' said she, ''but
Lemuel he don't seem to have no go
ahead and no ambition and no will of
HIS own. He tries to please me, but
It don't seem, as if he had grit enough
even for that. Sometimes l think he
