Nothing on earth could persuade me to take another holiday. Oh! why didn't you tell me you didn't know anything about agriculture?" "Tell you, you corn-stalk, you cabbage, you son of a cauliflower? It's the first time I ever heard such an unfeeling remark.
Part of the stalks were tied up and put in the old "corn-stalk barn," as we called it, and the remainder were stacked near. Our cow certainly was provided for. Brindle now gave too little milk for our purpose, whereas a farmer with plenty of fodder could keep her over the winter to advantage.

We do not sadly measure the cabbage-stalk by the corn-stalk, and praise the corn for getting ahead of the cabbage nor incite the cabbage to emulate the corn. We nourish both, to its best growth and are the richer.
When our plans were settled we felt in pretty good spirits again, and one of the boys got up a sort of corn-stalk fiddle which made a squeaking noise and in a little while there was a sort of mixed American and Indian dance going on in which the squaws joined in and we had a pretty jolly time till quite late at night.
