And here a strange thing happened. A brother who had been noticing the winks and smiles cast broadly about, and thinking in all human justice that Elder Cossey was getting more than his share, got up and declared with emotion, that he'd "heered some say how folks was all'as talkin' about their sins for effex, and didn't mean nothin' by it, but I can say this much, thar ain't no talkin' for effex about Brother Cossey; he has been, and is, every bit jest as honest mean as what he 's been a-tellin' on!"

Love I wanted and admirin' I wanted, but no pity; that thar set me broilin'. But now I'd e'en a'most ruther have pity than love; 'nd I thank God most o' all that, in my pride and in my stren'th, and not wantin' no help an' gittin' mad at the thought of it all'as He pitied me, an' He pitied me cl'ar through to the end.

The systems of Newton and Copernicus seemed dwarfed in comparison.
I ain't one o' that kind that's all'as peerin' anxiously into the futur'." "The furderest time 't I ever looked into the futur'," said Captain Dan Kirtland, "was once when I was a boy 'bout nineteen, and my father told me not to take the colt out. Wal, my father was gone one day, and I tackled him up and off I went.
