all the milk inaw'a been a savin’ lor a week.
I axed her ro re 1 down and be seated on tbat
ar three legged stool. Iknowed htt was tbe
onlyest thing in tbe house tbat would bold
her bekase our cheers was allagittin’ rickety.
I bad to yell to make her hrar me; site bad
her years tied up with a homespun rag; lowed
she bud tuck cold endnrin’ ol tbateuow and
hadn't beam good out’n her left year same
Our jailor .loirsot up picks bark at heryidin'
cri‘ter, and drug hi. block and kep sich i
racket maw she went out and fastened him
npiu tne smoke'ouve, and he howled wnwer’n
ever, aud the ebtekini and ger.ee let in to
cacklin’, end the turkeys govbled, and tbo
guineas pot-racked, and I thought in my sonl
my po' bead would split wide open nfore
she'd Aver git back.
I never teed sich a timo in all my life.
And to head it nil Flurridy Tennypy come
from tbe spring with a bucket er water, and
didn’t inore’n lend in tbe door tel dotvn she
fell, buoker, water, gods and all, and she
fetched a yell, and ole Miss Green hollared,
and here come maw n runnin' to spo what
was the matter, and when she scad her bran
new milk jair broke all to flatter ratters she
fetched a herenm like the house was a fire,
anil they alt thrre stood thar and mi-rated
jes like 1 never had no bead. Maw she
mighty quick wiped that greasy milkupeff n
bur cleaned scoured fleor, and ole Miss Green
droned the moot up fore Vie tiro and gin a
grain and sot down. I was thankful she
never tuck ualry nather cheer, for It stm'der
fell agin I think 1 should or died. She on-
lied her ridicule and tuck out her old ucckot-
knife she cuts her terbneker with, and let In
to cuttin’ up roots and yarbs to make me
auiue tea. tjhe bad a (tower of one truck and
unotltfr—white warnut bark. Sampson’s
snake root, tbo devil’s shoe-string, life ever-
lastin', wild cherry bark, ca'anios root, aud
pine rose urn and a eight more. I layed thar
and lat her fix it, but I knowed nalry drap
old wasn't a gwino down my neck. She
sot it a drawln’ by the fire then turut d In and
titled ber ole cob pipe, run it in tbe ashes
aud sot In to smokin'; then she up and spit
on tbe bath wbarmy bowl er chicken soup
was a warmin’. I had been awful borngry,
bat tbat npsot mo so t didn’t keer if I never
seed no more sonp. I told Flurridy to dssb
It out, I didn't waat it. Thoole'oman lowed
“Ha pray, don’tflingoati orbin' that's toed
fetch It here and I’ll drink It." Tbat was the
feather that broke tbe cow's back. I layed
thar and prayed to die if I had to go thn'
with much more. She fluog back her hexd
and drank It all down, and turned to Ftarri-
dv and lowed-. “Git me one of your pap’
te sockc to tie round Betsy’s neck; hit's tm
best tiring in tho world for tbe iniluausy o
the tunslls. I've had information in my
thoto ’tore now and tied a stockin' on it the
overnight, aud by morula’nit was well,
nllrra ttta on ono er rue own, karelils'n Is too
foil of grit atterbo plows all day. Now. gim
me a couple'er yarn strings to tie round her
wrists. Hit's me nest thing in the world to
keep un tbo vibration of the blood.”
Jts then ole MissFrcsbourastepiId with her
mouthallst'ckiu! full ol snuff, blarredtbt Co t
wide open right ferneut my brad, and hoi
b red like sbffwas in a mill, “Why, what on
the yclb nils Betty?” Then ole Miss Green
luyed herpelf out to loll her wbatall was the
matter with me, and upon my word If all she
said Lad er been so, I'd er been dead 'ton
night. "I’ll teil you, Bister Frrahourr,” ssys
she, pufflug her pipe, “Betsy thar ia mon
strous bail off; «ho nas got a implication of
ailments; you sve rite tuck cold in tbo tun-
si's of htr ibote and hit’s llew to ber head
and fetched about alt that information. You
can see fer yotiralf how red ber jaws ia
\V«I, that’s all the occesipn of iu’ard fever
that's flew to brr lace, and bit's all ns from
tbo inliu ansy cf tbetunsiis and allegory of
her thute, and hit's fetched on the new ralli
gy amt mineral j itui In the splneot her back,
and hit's fast n w; rain’ of its way to'ardsthe
immaterial fever; mid if it ehonld happen to
turn into the old-fashion tvforwara fever
tbat's a raidin'now, wby|bu would kill ber
shore. I jis tole her maw hit was a tarnaital
biessin' she eont after me iu time.”
Then ole Miss Freahonra rnit out her snnff
and lowed: “I tole’em all I knowed Betsy
or some of ’em over here was gwino to be
sick, for no longer'n nigutafore las’ I droamp
of seeln’ Fturridy Tennysy marry, and I seed
ber as plain as I see me ban' afore me.” I
was a giftin' sicker and sicker ever minnle,
end wneii sue let in to tell about bow sick ole
men Wiggins was with tho white twellin’,
and rouldn't git nothin’ to lay on bis stomach
tore wrek. aud what a'lcd thia'u and lhal’n
and tother'n I reckin it would er kilt me; but
j«s then maw abe stepped to tbe door aod
lowed: "Come in (other house, sister Green,
you and sister Fresbeura, an.1 git a bite to
eat; we'ers ail soailyfied to-day I never flxed
much, bat sich as it is it's c can, and yon’re
welcome to It." Aud the minute they landed
out I ris and buttoned tbe door, and jerked
off pap's old cock and them striogs ana flung
on a piece of Hgbt'ood, and nuvtted Into my

I ail that goes en at aiy Loan, aod I dont want meat promises tobeasacora '.

she’d dost tne to death, and I bad no notion
