"Would you tell him to cook his own victuals and mend his clothes accordin' to his own nater?" "No, sir," said she, striking with her expansive hand the newspaper in her lap "no, sir. I'd get up early in the mornin', and cook and wash and bake and scour. I'd skin the things he shot, and clean his fish, and dig bait if he wanted it.
Thar she stands the darling as pale nor a lily, and crying like all nater, jest as if her little heart war a going to break and done with it. I 'spect the varmints is hatching some orful plans to put us out o' the way prehaps to hitch us to the stake and burn us all to cinder, like they did our housen, and them things.
But I knew, with her temperament and nater, that love, if it did come to her, would come to stay, and it would come hard and voyalent. And so it did. She worshipped him, as I said at first, under a fur collar. And then, when a woman once gets to lovin' a man as she did, why, she can't help herself, chin or no chin.
Perkins, said she, 'there's something the matter with my child; I'm sure there is, though he won't own it. He has lost his appetite had a headache last night. 'Nothing the matter, ma'am, says I; 'wish you'd think more of yourself. "These mothers are silly, anxious, poor creatures. Nater, sir, Nater wonderful thing Nater! Here we are."
And I see in a minute, he had some sense on his side, though his words shocked me some at first, kinder jarred aginst some sensitive spot in my nater, jest as pardners will sometimes, however devoted they may be to each other. Yet I see he wuz in the right on't. They wouldn't sense anything about it.
"Give not that which is holy, the best nater, and goodness of boys and men to the dogs, the brutes that lay in wait for 'em in whiskey laws. The God in man is murdered every 'lection day by professors of religion and ministers." "Why whyee," sez Elder Wessel, sinkin' back in his chair.
I wouldn't want to represent Josiah lots of times, breakin' colts, ploughin' greensward, cuttin' cord-wood etc., etc. Men and wimmen want equal legal rights to represent themselves and their own sex which are different, and always must be, and both sexes don't want to be hampered and sot down on by the other one. That is gauldin' to human nater, male or female.
Havin' hearn so much about his deep, earnest nater and deathless desire to do all the good he could whilst on his earthly pilgrimage, I expected to see a grave, quiet man with lines of care and conflict engraved deep on his sober, solemn visage. But I wuz never more surprised to see a bright, laughin', happy face that smiled back into mine as Albina Meechim proudly introduced her nephew to me.
As I looked round me, I liked the place more and more. What need wuz there of upholstery and carpets? Brussels never turned out such a carpet as old Mom Nater had spread all round that Temple of hern. Old Gobelin never wove such tapestry. No Empress of the wonder-laden East ever had hung in her boodore such a marvelous green texture as drooped down in emerald canopies above us.
Younker; "for the poor thing war a prisoner along with us, crying whensomever she dared to, like all nater." "Well," rejoined the old hunter, musingly, "we've done all we could I'm sorry it didn't turn out better but we must now leave their fates in the hands o' Providence, and return to our homes.
