De preacher read de bible and he told us what to do to be saved. I 'member he lined us up on Jordan's bank and we sung behind him. De partrollers watch de slaves who were out at night.

"Then that won't do either," they cried, "let's throw him into the river." "Oh! don't throw me into the river," said KELAP, and began to weep. So they threw him into the river.

"The We Are Sevens meet every Saturday afternoon," she wrote on a yellow page this time "usually at Aunt Beulah's house. We have tea and lots of fun.

"'Kelly, I'm hun-gry! Kel-ley, I'm hun-ger-ry! sez the crow. "'Alright, sez Kelly; 'be up at the hut about dinner time 'n' I'll sling you out something. "'Drown a sheep!

"And I came right through that book into grandma's garret," whispered Joe, "and I told grandma all about it, and she only laughed and hugged me and said some laws were made to be broken for the good of the breakers.
