If he thinks I'm gwine to change my way of cookin in my old age, he's mightily mistaken. He need'nt think I'm gwine to make puddins out o' one egg, and lighten my muffins with snow, like these ere Yankees, 'kase I aint gwine to do it for nobody. I sot out to do my duty by you, and I'll do it; but for all that, I aint bound to set to larnin new things this time o' day.
"Oh, yes, sir," said Redbud, looking at him with her kind, sad eyes, "you need'nt be ceremonious with me. Besides, you're Fanny's cousin.

So I said to him one day, Minister, said I, how on airth do you manage to keep your fruit that's so exposed, when no one else cant do it nohow. Why, says he, they are dreadful pretty fruit, ant they?

How long we stood thus, I know not; the last sun-rays were dying as Aunt Hildy said: "We must wait no longer; Jane and Aunt Peg, you'll help me, the rest of you need'nt stay;" and so we left our beautiful dead, still in the hands of her friends. The day of her burial was a perfect one calm in its beauty, the blue of its skies like the eyes of our darling.
Come, you foolish children, don't be bothering me with your nonsense. And you, Mr. Verty you need'nt be so foolish as to consider everything I say so harsh as you seem to. You'll go next and tell somebody that old Rushton is an ill-natured huncks, without conscience or proper feeling; that he grumbled with you for stopping a moment to greet your friends. If you say any such thing," added Mr.
You will thus have the consolation of reflecting that you have been ruined in good company, and, in addition, had your pleasure; blacklegs ruin a man with a vulgar rapidity which is positively shocking. Next, my dear boy though this I need'nt tell you never look at Greek after leaving college, or Moral Philosophy, or Mathematics proper.
You need'nt larf, says Father, he's smarter than he looks; our Minister's old horse, Captain Jack, is reckoned as quick a beast of his age as any in our location, and that are colt can beat him for a lick of a quarter of a mile quite easy I see'd it myself. Well, they larfed agin louder than before, and says father, if you dispute my word, try me; what odds will you give?
