Wall, Ezra and Druzilla wanted to go to the Sulphur Springs way beyend Saratoga Lake, and as the Deacon wuz agreeable, and I also, we sot out for it, though, as we all said, it wuz goin' to be a pretty long and tegus journey for a hot day.
And I told her I wuz partly prepared, for I had read the Arabian Night's Entertainment. "Well," sez she, "it goes fur beyend my wildest dreams of luxury." When we got back to the tarven we found that Robert Strong had been delayed by a visitor and wuz jest startin' for Heliopolis, and Miss Meechim and I bein' all ready we turned round and went with 'em.
Well I rocked Tommy and sung to him: "Sweet fields beyend the swellin' flood." And them sweet fields in my mind wuz our own orchard and paster, and the swellin' flood I thought on wuzn't death's billers, but the waters that rolled between California and Jonesville. Not one word had I hearn from my pardner sence leavin' New York. "Oh, dear Josiah! When shall I see thee agin?"
"Wall," sez I, in meanin' axcents, awful meanin', "when you are married you will change your opinion, you mark my word." And she said, gently, but persistently, "That she guessed she shouldn't; she guessed she was in the right of it." Sez I, "You think when anybody is married they have got beyend all earthly trials, and nothin' but perfect peace and rest remains?" And she sez, gently, "Yes, mem!"
Some hearts and souls are blank plates and will always remain so. Poor thing! she little knew he had got beyend canvassin' and all other cares and troubles of life two hundred years ago. But Miss Meechim wuz dretful worked up about the gambling going on at Maceo, and she sez it is as bad as at Monte Carlo. And sez she, "Oh, how bad it makes me feel to see such wickedness carried on.
Wall, from that time, every now and then not enough to abuse his horsepitality, but enough to let him know that we appreciated his goodness when our dry oven become heated up beyend what we could seem to bear, we went into that cool, delightful room agin, and agin I feasted my eyes on the lovely pictures on the wall; most of all on that beautiful sunset scene down by the laughin' stream.
But I felt that a dressmaker could commence a dress in November and get it done the follerin' July, without no great strain bein' put onto her; and I am fur from bein' the one to put strains onto wimmen, and hurry 'em beyend their strength. But I felt Almily had time to make it on honor and with good buttonholes.
"Not an Injun could come nigh this ere fort," said the little man that held the reins; "everybody has to be seen, no matter how fur off they be, specially when the officers gits their telescopes to their eyes. Why, I suppose they can see hundreds o' miles with one of them big glasses; any rate, I heard tell about their seeing clean up to the stars, an' a good piece beyend."
Fur off, fur off their silvery wings have floated, a-comin' from the West, from the land that lays beyend the sunset's golden glory. Some of the light of that New Country has shone on us in inspired eyes, some of its strange language has been hearn by us from inspired lips. But oh! the wide, pathless sea that lays between us and that land of full Fruition and Glory and Freedom.
"I wanted to thank him who is gone for this great and noble work; and as he has passed on beyend this world's praise, or blame, I want to tell you about it, seein' that you're at the head of the family. "I speak," sez I, "in the name of Jonesville!" "Whose name?" sez he. And I sez, "My own native land, Jonesville, nigh to Loontown, seven milds from Zoar." "Oh!" sez he.
