It makes me feel as though I had two hun'erdweight o' meal on my stomach, lying awake o' nights and thinking as how he is, may be, pulling of her about! If I thought that she'd let him ; oh! I'd swing for it, Muster Carbury. They'd have to make an eend o' me at Bury, if it was that way. They would then.
"That's so," said Ezra Phelps, "everybody knows as these tew counties be taxed higher nor the other eend o' the state." "Hev yew paid up ye taxes fer las' year, Peleg?" inquired Abner. "No, I hain't, nor fer year afore, nuther. Gosh, I can't. I could pay in pertaters, but I can't pay in money. Ther ain't no money. Klector Williams says as haow he'd hafter sell me out, an I s'pose he's goin ter.
I was fond of one, ever since I was knee high to a goose, or could recollect any thin' amost; I have got into a horrid sight of scrapes by 'em, that's a fact. I never forgot that lesson though, it was kicked into me: and lessons that are larnt on the right eend, ain't never forgot amost. I have "aimed high" ever since, and see where I be now.
They've raced back an' forrard, an' dodged up an' down fur a year now, but they're at the eend uv ther rope, an' hit'll be a deth-nooze fur 'em. May the pit o' hell open fur 'em." He watched Rachel's face closely as he spoke.
I likes ter git a tex' or the eend o' a hyme set a-goin' in my head seems somehow ter teach itself ter the anvil, an' then it jes says it back an' forth all day. Yestiddy I never seen its beat 'Christ war born in Bethlehem. The anvil jes rang with that ez ef the actial metal hed the gift o' prayer an' praise."
"Time was I've zeed vifteen pair o' 'osses go out of this 'ere yard in vour-and-twenty hour; and now there be'ant vifteen, no, not ten, in vour-and-twenty days! There was the duik not this 'un; he be'ant no gude; but this 'un's vather why, when he'd come down the road, the cattle did be a-going, vour days an eend.
'Deed an' I thought the eend of the warld had come when I heerd it, for my head went round and round and round as I stood in the stable, and only for the fork I had a hould of, I'd have been down among the crathur's legs." And then it struck Herbert that as they were going on he heard the footsteps of some one running after the car, always at an equal distance behind them.
We'll soon see how he likes other folks' jokes; I have my scruple about him, I must say. I am dubersome whether he will say 'chee, chee, chee' when he gets 'T'other eend of the gun." "Pray Sir," said one of my fellow passengers, "can you tell me why the Nova Scotians are called 'Blue-noses?"
Well, the facts come aout later, same's they usually do, too late to be any ways useful to an honest man; an' Whittier he come along an' picked up the slack eend of a lyin' tale, an' tarred and feathered Ben Ireson all over onct more after he was dead. 'Twas the only tune Whittier ever slipped up, an' 'tweren't fair. I whaled Dan good when he brought that piece back from school.
Slick, this hitch? 'Why, says I, 'I've run away up South a-speculating in nutmegs. 'I hope, says the Professor, 'they were a good article, the real right down genuine thing. 'No mistake, says I, 'no mistake, Professor: they were all prime, first chop; but why did you ax that 'ere question? 'Why, says he, 'that eternal scoundrel, that Captain John Allspice of Nahant, he used to trade to Charleston, and he carried a cargo once there of fifty barrels of nutmegs: well, he put half a bushel of good ones into each eend of the barrel, and the rest he filled up with wooden ones, so like the real thing, no soul could tell the difference until HE BIT ONE WITH HIS TEETH, and that he never thought of doing, until he was first BIT HIMSELF. Well, it's been a standing joke with them southerners agin us ever since.
