Aunt Patsy s Christmas Din
ner.
If there was anything on earth that
ray aunt Patsy Clark had a natural
affinity for, it was to have a turkey for
her Christmas dinner. I don’t know
whether she was predestinated to eat
turkeys, or, whether they were predes
tinated to be eaten by her, and I don’t
know that I care, to any great extent,
but one thing I do know: it was as
naturnl for her and a turkey to come
together about one o’clock on the Jst!i
day of Deeemper as it is for a lawyer
to take to lying. The children might
go ragged and dirty, if necessary, und
men hungry, on any other day, but it
was well understood that she was not
to be interfered with when her time
came round. Indeed, it was said by
the neighbors that the fattest gobbler
on the farm would lie down and cross
his legs without saying a word if he
saw aunt Patsy start towards him on
the day before Christmas! and I have
it on the authority of her son, Tom,
(who was never known to tell a lie !)
that he had actually seen ’em walk up
and lay their heads on the block whore
my aunt usually executed her victims.
-Bui posibly Tom may hare stretched
a little. My aunt was a fat, good-na
tured soul, and from some unexplained
cause, always considered me an espe
cial favorite, though for the life of me
I can't tell what it was for, as I was
the ten* »r of the entire household
when I was there She used to say
that she was glad when I and Tom
got together; and profoundly thankful
when we separated, for if we parted
without having committed some devil
merit she felt as if she had escaped a
great calamity. Nevertheless she
was certain to invite me over to spend
the holidays with Tom, who was about
a par with me, and it is of one of
these occasions that I set out to tell.
I m like the old preacher who spent
an hour in making apologies before he
began his sermon, and wound up by
remarking that he diden’t like to hear
a man make any preliminary retnaiks
in the pulpit.
Well, on flie morning of the 24th
Tom was sent off’ early to the village
store on some errand, while I was
left lounging about, wishing for some
mischief to do, when the old negro
cook came into the room with the
distressing anouucernent that the old
gobbler, which had been fattening tor
months, had been killed and partly
devoured by a vicious hog that had
broken into his turkeysbip’s pen the
night before.
l Tho Lord a massy!’ exclamcd my
aunt, fanning herself vigorously,
though the weat..er war old enough
to freeze soft soap “What in the
creation did you leave the pen open
for, Dinah?’
‘Clar to God I fastened’im up good
only last night,’ replied the old negro,
whose eyes resembled a dying calf’s.
‘I wish to gracious the turkey had
been full of stride nine, or some other
poison !' said aunt Patsy.
‘” r hen yon’d lost the turkey and hog
both, aunt.* I ventured to aeinark.
‘Don't speak to me in a week San
dy!’said she. ‘I never wa* so com
pletely done up. Tnere ain,t another
turkey on the plantation that’s lit lbr
a hog to eat. What shall he done,
Dina?’
‘I spec you inns’ cook de ole hen,
r eplied Dinah, scratching her woolly
head in perplexity.
‘I spec you’re a fool !’ retorted my
aunt, maddei than before, at the idea
of having anything but a male turkey
on her Christmas table. ‘I ain’t eat
a Christmas dinner at home in forty
years without turkey, and I’m not go
ing to begin it in my old age.—Saedy.
you must lide over to oid Miss Jones
and buy me one.. She’s got a cowpen
full, that she has fattened for market,
and I know she’ll sell me one. Go
quick, Sandy, there’s a good boy, and
you shall have such a dinner as will
bring tears to your eyes when you are
an old man!’
Os course I couldn’t refuse, although
I had a wholesome dread of Miss
Jones, as my aunt called her, for she
was one of them sort of women who
can’t quit talking when she begins, but
there was no help for it, so I mounted
aunt Patsy’s favorite nag and set out,
receiving a strict injunction from my
aunt not to ride out of a walk, which
command I obeyed by putting old
Dolly to her level best as soon as I
was out ot sight, and dashed up to
Jones,’ in regular cavalry style. The
old lady happened to be at the gate’
and opened on me as soon as I stopped.
For the Lord’s sake, Sandy’,said she
‘what is the matter?’
‘ The old boy’s to pay over at aunt
Clarks’, and no mistake, said I, as I
dismounted.
‘What is it ? who’s dead ?’ she in
quired.
The old sow has killed the christ
mas turkey, and old Dinah has got a

fit; and aunt Patsy’s gone crazy, and
Toms gone to town after the doetor
and I’ve come so buy a turkey,’said
I, thinking I had as well put it on
prett y thick, while I was at it.
‘bakes alive !’ said she, 'did the sow
actually kill her turkey?’
es—ate her up clean, and is run
ning about this morning with the old
gobblers beard hanging from her un
der lip, trying to gobble,’ said I, sol
emnly.
‘Well, well,’ said she, that reminds
me of what happened when our Sally
was married. You seel had a gob
bler in the pen that I’d kept up for—
let me see-yes, it wasfullly five weeks,
and I do expect he was the fattest fowl
you ever sut eye* on. You've no idee
how much corn and peas and stuff I'd
fed to that turkey! well, as I was say
mg the night before the wedding, af*
ter I and rny ole man had gone to bed,
I thought 1 heard a noise in the pen;
so I says to the ole man, ses I, ‘ole
man, thar’s something in that turkey
pen.’ Os course the gobbler’s in tbar!
He allers was the most aggravatin’
man you ever seen, was my ole man.
But 1 kep’ bearin’ the noise, and I
sorter hunched him with my elbow
and ses I, ‘I tell you thar’r a varmint
in that pen.’ Then the ole man got
cross—and he allers was as cross as
fish hooks, —and told me to go and
bring the pen in the house, and lei
him alone, so I knovved there was
no use talking to him about it, but I
couldent sleep, for I mistrusted some
thing, and shore'enough* when I went
out next morn in’ a triffiin’ leather
eared ’possum or some other critter,
had killed my turkey, and about half
eat him up. I was so mad I could a
cried, for I had nary nother turkey
on the place that would do to eat, and
I do think a wedden without a turkey
is a bomination.’
Here the old lady stopped to get
a good breath, and I asked her if she
had a gobbler to spare for aunt Clark?
‘Well’ said she, leading the way to
the back yard. ‘l’d do e’en a most
anything to oblige sister Clark, and I
ilo expect I’ve got the nicest passcl of
turkeys you’ve seen in a coon’s age
You seel,d heard that fat turkeys
would bring a good price in Colum
bus about Christmas: and as I'd set my
head on having anew silk dress to
take the shine out’n that stuck up
M iss Mills, I thought I’d send my
flock of fowls down thar and jist a
bout buy the dress, but Jack tuck it
into his head to git sick tother day,
and I couldn’t get my turkeys car
lied to market, and 1 do reckon I’ll
have to wear my old dress all the win
ter. Now,’ she continued, ‘I hain’t
got but one gobbler, and you see he,B
a fat one, and I spose 1 must let sister
Clark have him.’
How old might he be ? I inquired,
as I looked suspiciously at his scaly
legs.
‘Well, let me see,’ said she, count
rag on her lingers, ‘yes, that tur
key wns hatched the year ole Tippe.
Canoe was ’lectec !’
*
‘Why, good gracious aunt Jones,
,shat was eight years ago !’ said I.
‘Was it ?’ she inquiied, peeping
oYer her spectacles; ‘well, so it was!
Dear me ! how time does pass ofl !
But thar’s no mistake about, his age,
for it was in the fall of the year, and
I was down with the ager, and I do
reckon the tiger was wuss about htue
that year than il ever was before.—
YouNeno idee how much quinine
and other doctors stufl I swaWcred!
Seems to me 1 can almost tatteit yet!
Well, as I was sajing. I’d had the
ager till I was so weak I could hardly
lie down, when one day my ole man
cum in abd ses he, Polly—he allers
did call me Polly, my ole man did —
so he ses, ‘Polly, that ole one-eyed
turkey hen has got fourteen young
ones.’ ‘You don’t say so ! ses I. Yes
but I do,’ ses he, ‘and es thar’s any
rooster among ’em 1 11 name him Tip.
Y r ou see my ole man sot a grate store by
ole Tip and Tyler, and so, sure enough
he picked out the nicest looken gob
bler in the lot, and named him Tip,
and we’ve kept hinj til this blessed
dev, out I tole my ole man that es we
didn’t sell him he’d die on our han’s,
and he sed he ’lowed so too, so I
thought I’d send him to Columbus,
but I s’pose I must let sister Clark
have him.’
‘Well,’ said I, ‘l’ll take him if he
was born the year Alexander the Great
was elected, for aunt Patsy can’t live
through to morrow without a gobbler.’
So saying, I made a dash at the old
relict of departed greatness, and before
he had time to say ‘quit,’ I had the
legs tied and was hurrying out of
reach of t ne old lady’s tongue, for fear
she’d think of something eke to say,
which shu did, tor I rode off and left
her just begining to tell me about the
truoble she’d had with her fowls du
ring the summer. I was glad to es
cape, and hurried back to aunt Clark’s,
and found her pacing the yard, look
ing as mournful as if she’d just been
invited to her giand-father’s funeral,
and had no bonnet to wear.
‘Well, Sandy,’ said site, you got
him did you?’
‘Yes, and that ain’t all I got.’
‘W hat else did you get, for good
ness sake?’ she inquired.
‘Why, I got the history of the
Jones family, man, beast and fowl, for
the last thirty years,’ said I T
‘Well, ole Miss Jones is about the
poorest hand to quit talkin’ I ever
listened to; but is he fat?’ said she.
‘Fat! said I; ‘the like never was
seen, I expect. Why. I could hear
the fat sloshin’ about in him like soap
suds as I rode along.’
‘Thats a big—turkey!’ said she;
‘but he must be powerful old.’
‘Hatched late last fall!’ said I, with
out a smile.
‘But look at his spurs,’ she insisted.
‘lt’s anew breed; they have fulls
grown spurs at six weeks old/
‘Do tell!’ replied she, waddling off
with her precious load, while I put up
Dolly and went to the fire to warm,
for my toes felt like they’d been quar
ried from an iceberg, and my nose re
sembled a full grown blood beet.
That gobbler proved to be a job.
After scalding him in a washing tub,
as they would a bacon hog, they had
to get the shoe pinchers to pull the
feathers out with, and Tom declared
that his mother had to send off after
a nigger man with his broad-ax to
make a hole in him. If any body had
told me ii.at he was hatched the year
John Adams was elected, I should
have believed every word of it. But
the animal was certainly fat, and as
aunt Patsy had an oven big as a bass
drum, I had no doubt but they would
manage to prepare him for the table,
somehow or other.
That night, after Tom and I had
gone to bed, Tom remarked:
‘Sandy, how the dingnation is that
gobbler to be cut up to morrow?’
Wou and I’ll have to take the cross
cut saw- to him,’ said I.
‘Hang the cross cut saw!’ replied he.
‘l’ve swore out from ever using that
tool any more. But there must be
some provision made for the job, and
I can’t think of anything but the
broad axe.’
‘Tom !’ I exclaimed, ‘if you’ll agree
to help meal’ll fix a way to carve that
fowl, without much trouble. But
who will be here to dinner?’
‘Elder Snortem and Miss Peggy
Skinner, that I know of,’ he replied
Now, those two persons were my
pet abominations. The Elder was a
second Chadband, fat and greasy, who
was eternally pitching into Tom and
and me for our wickedness,,while Miss
Peggy was like another of Dickens’
characters—‘too much of her length
wise, two little of her crosswise, and
too man) angles of her anglewise ; ’
and I may add that there was too
much vinegar of her sourwise. She
was as spiteful as a bee martin, and
she made out that she would faint if a
man only looked at her. Consequent
ly, when Tom told me that they were
to be among the guests, I told him
just to hold still and give me a little
assistance the next day and we’d fix
things about light.
Every thing and every body was
kept in an uproar next day until dins
tier time. My aunt declared that
the more she cooked the turkey the
tougher he got, while old Dinah was
in a perfect fever at the failure of all
her efforts to make an impression on
the old gentleman. I and Tom, not
being included in the kitchen fovee,
were left to ourselves, which was just
what I wanted, for I had a job of my
own ou hand. Towards noon the El
der came in, wiping his flabby
face closely so lowed by Miss Peggy,
and two or three others. Aunt
Patsy, having seen the cooking fin
ished and having given the finishing
touch to the table, sat down to await
the course of events, and regale her
self w>th the Elder’s conversation. I
kept an eye on the proceedings, and
when I found that everything was on
the table but the turkey, I sauntered
into the kitchen, where If und old
Dinah placing that gentleman on a
huge dish, with about half a pnshel of
fixings around him. In my pocket I
had a two-ounce vial full of powder,
stopped with a piece of spunk.
Aunt Dinah,’ said I. that dish is too
heavy for yon.’
Dat’s a fao’, chile,’ said she; ’my ole
ban’s is so -haky I’se afread o spiffin’
it. Do you jes’ take it to de table
keerfullv, while I’ nounce dinner.’
That was just what I wauted
As soon as her back was turned
I put fire to one end of my bottle-stop
per. thrust the vial into the old gob
blers inwards; and carried the dish to
the table. By the time I had placed
it to my liking, aunt marshalled in
her guests, and to my great delight
she placed the elder at the end of the
table next the turkey, while Miss Peg.
gy occupied a seat on his right, and 3
red headed son of the preacher sat on
the left. I endeavored to excuse mys
self and Tom, but she would not hear
of it, ana insisted that we should sect
ourseivs near her, so we had to take
chances. After a grace from the elder
as long as the book of Jeremiah, aunt
asked him to carve the fowl.
‘Certainly’ sister Clark,’ said he;
and I anticipate great pleasure in par
taking of the good things the Lord has
provided tor us.’
Old fellow, thought I, you’ll partake
of something that somebody else has
provided, if I ain’t badly fooled! I
didn’t dare to look at Tom, but leaned
back in my chair and awaited the
course of events. Just as the elder
made a lunge at the gobbler with his
fork, there was an explosion like a six
pound cannon, which sent the fork
whirling to the ceiling, while a broad
side ol the fowl*struck the elder abput
the stomach, causing him to grunt like
a poor hog after a nettle root, and
there he sat’ his mouth open like a
fox trap, his eyes running water, and
saving never a word. My aunt gave a
sharp ‘Oh, Lordy !’ and died away as
easy as a yotrag duck in a hail storm.
About half a gallon of the stuffinor
struck Miss Peggy in the tace, giving
her the appearance of a halt-finished
stick and-dirt chimney, and causing
her to squall as fast and sharp as a
billy-goat with his head fast. The
red headed youth had opened his mouth
about three inches to gape, when a
hind quarter of the old gobbler made
a straight shoot for the opening, and
tried to go down his throat without
troubling his teeth, nearly choking
him to death, and reminding me of a
calf trying to swallow a corn cob.
Old Dinah, who was just behind the
elder,received the gobbler’s right shoul
der about afoot below her chin, which
appeared to give her the colic, for she
doubled up like a snapping bug, put
her hands just below her stomach,
turned the whiles of her eyes to the
moon, and went to groaning in con
cert with the elder’s grunts, which got
faster and louder, as he began to con
sider the situation. Altogether, it
was better than a circus, and the
strangest part of it was, neither Tom
nor myself received any injury, which
affords another proof, I suppose, that
the devil protects his own !
It took about an hour to restore or
der, and then we had to eat without
turkey, although there was a quantity
of it left. Elder Snortem said it was
a tiiek of Sateu to wean their minds
from the lust of the flesh. Aunt Pat
sy said nothing better could be expect
ed of a turkey with a whig name;
while Miss Peggy vowed it was done
to insult her, whether anybody sus>.
pected the truth or not I can’t tell, but
I and Tom had a good laugh over our
new plan of carving a turkey!
Farmers’ Homes.— Frank D. Cur
tis, in his address before the New
York State Agricultural Society,
said several good things in regard to
farmers’ homes, but none more to the
point than the following in regard to
the location and surroundings of the
dwelling: “ A house on a hill with
no trees around it looks cheerless and
unhomelike. Have grounds around
the dwellings Tear away the fences ;
they cost money and are useless, I
mean fences shutting the house up as
it there was danger of its running
away. Let there be no less than an
acre of door yard; ten will be better.
Make a rich lawn of this and cut the
grass. It can be no waste, but it will
be a thing of beauty, and ‘ a thing of
beauty is a joy forever.’ There need
not be any loss to be tasteful; nature
and beauty are synonymous; good
tas e and economy can therefore be
made, handmaids to each other. Set
your fruit trees in this enclosure and
dig around them with a spade each
year, and top dress the hole, and they
will grow finely, and the grass will
grow luxuriantly, and the house will
grow beautiful, the children will grow
contented, the fathers and mothers as
they grow old will grow happy, the
neighbors will grow to emulate and
to excel, the township will grow at
tractive, and the young women will
grow up to feel that there is no place
after all like “ Home, Sweet * l oine.’ ”
»
SaT 1 A little girl was sent to the
pasture to drive home the cow. While
thus engaged she treated herself to
climbing an unnecessary fence, from
which she fell and was severely scratch
ed and bruised. Returiug home she
was asked if she cried when she fell.
“ W’hy no,” she replied ; what would
have been the use ; there was nobody
to hear me
Eaki.t Habits. —ln early childhood
you lay the foundation of poverty or
riches, in the habits you give your
children. Teach them to save every
thing-not for there own use, for that
would make them selfish—but for some
use Teach them to share every thing
with their playmates, but never allow
them to destroy any thing.
How to be Polite.
Do not try too hard to be polite.
Never overwhelm your friends by
begging them to make themselves ct
home, or they will soon wish they
were there. Show by vonr actions
rather than your words that you are
glad to see them.
Have enough regard for yoarself to
treat your greate-t enemy with qumt
politeness. All petty slights are mere,
'ly meanness, and hurt yourself more
than any one else.
Do not talk about yourself or your
family to the exclusion of other topics.
What it you are clever, bo, sure other
folks will think so \\ hatevei they
v
ought to do.
It may be interesting for you to talk
over your ailments, but very tiresome
fer others to listen to.
Make people think you consider
them clever and agreeable, and they
will be pretty apt to have a pleasant
impression of yourself.
Treat people just as you would like
to have them treat you.
It is much easier to lose the good
opinion of people than to retain it ;
and when one does not care for the
good opiuion of others, he or she L
not worthy of respect.
Do not excuse your house, furui
ture, for the table you set before your
guests. It is fair to suppose their vis
its are to you, not to your surround
ings,
The whole machinery of social in
tercourse is very delicate and iutrb
cate, and it is our business to keep all
places of possible friction well supplied
with the oil of politeness.
Three Worth County Boys.
TWENTY BALES OF COTTON.
Douguerty, Dec. 10, 1872.
Editor Albany News:
Dear Sir: I have heard a great deal
said about the hard times, and the hot
torn rail getting on top, and I have
been bothered to know what it all
means. I think I have struck it, how
ever. The wool nat boys and others
who went to work after the surrender,
are the parties that are getting on top
and solving the vexed problem.
They are the ones that are getting
the greenbacks and greenbacks con
stitute the lever that turns the wheel
of fortune. I give one example:
Three sons of Mr. T. J. H., of
Worth county, this year, with two
mules, raised 20 bales of cotton, and
700 bushels of corn, besides oats and
potatoes in abundance.
They paid out about §SO, for labor
in chopping out and picking, and after
settling all expenses, including bag
ging, ties, bacon, &e.,they netted over
§1,200 and are ready to begin another
year’s labors.
This is but one of many similar cx
amples in Worth and Dooly counties
that have fallen under my immediate
observation this season, and it puts
me in mind of old times, when boys
had to work. I wish I had a daughter
to give to one of these young ones
when he gets old .enough to marry.
The industrious, working faithful
boys of this country are going to get
on top, and no mistake. Labor and
energy will there in spite
of destiny. They will own the lands
now growing up in sedge, and culti
vate them too, for it is a fact, that
where the white people are working
and attending to their business, that
freed men work well also, and such
planters are making money.
Ben and Buck.
Since the above was in type, the
writer informs us that two young
gills of Worth residing near Gin Town
brought to market, yesterday, the last
of their crop—being the seventh bale.
Only think of it young men—two
girls produce seven bales of cotton,
while you are lying round town wait
ing for somebody to offer you a “situa
