I wonder if they haint afraid, that when they have left their own country and sailed away for that home of Everlastin' freedom, they will be sent back agin, and not allowed to land. But it comferted me quite a good deal to meditate on't, that that land didn't have no laws aginst foreign emigration.
He said it wuz all for himself that he wuz hurryin' so. I d'no that, but I do know that in his haste to help me git out he stepped on my foot, and almost made a wreck of that valuable member. I looked bad, and groaned, and sithed considerable 'fore he got to the sheltered bench he'd sot out for. He acted sorry, and I didn't reproach him any. I only sez, "Oh, I don't lay it up aginst you, Josiah.
"Not to run counter to the natural bias of things," he says, "is to be perfect." It is by this running counter going aginst the Law, following our personal desires and so forth, that we create karma, give the Universe something to readjust, and set in motion all our troubles.
I can't blame her for bein' embittered aginst men and the laws they have made; for, if ever a woman has been tormented, she has. It honestly seems to me as if I never see a human creeter so afflicted as Dorlesky Burpy has been, all her life. Why, her sufferin's date back before she wus born; and that is goin' pretty fur back.
He wouldn't be likely to depicter her as Liberty, and set her up so high in the gate-way to the World's Fair, if he calculated to keep her on in the slavery she is now, a-bindin' her with her own heart-strings takin' away her power to help her own heart's dearest, in their fights aginst the evils and temptations of the World.
"Very well," said Bartle, quietly, but evidently shrinking from a threat nearly as fearful, and far more daring than his own. "You know I have nothin' to do except my duty. Yez are goin' aginst the cause, an' I must report yez; afther whatever happens, won't come from me, nor from any one here.
"I've got ten camps in this section," he shrieked, "an' any one of them will back me aginst the whole United States army if I ask 'em to! They ain't the cowards that I've got here. I'll come back here an' pay ye off for this!"
To be sure he skrewed the last fardin' out of uz, but where was there ever a tithe-procthor that didn't do the same thing? An' sure if he tuck as much as he could from huz, an' gev as little as he could to the parson, wasn't it all so much the betther? Wasn't it weakenin' their fat church and fattening our weak on'? where's the honest Catholic could say a word aginst that?
Well, he bein' jest what he wuz conscientious, God-fearin' and havin' hearn his minister preach powerful sermons on this bein' a war of God aginst the Devil, enlightenment and Christianity aginst ignorance and barbarism, America aginst Spain he got all fired up with the sense of what wuz his duty to do, and when his mind wuz made up to that no man or woman could turn him.
He never said a word aginst any vittles that was set before him, but I mistrusted that he was more partickerlar in his eatin' than he wanted folks to know of, for I've know'd him make believe to eat, and leave the vittles on his plate when he didn't seem to fancy 'em; but he was very careful never to hurt my feelin's, and I don't belief he'd have spoke, if he had found a tadpole in a dish of chowder.
