Josiah stood ready to pay the ten cents apiece to give us the pleasure of a ride. But I declined the treat. I sez, "We don't ride the old mair hoss back to home, and I don't hanker after bein' histed up onto a camel's hump, or to see you in that perilous poster." He said he'd love to tell the bretheren we'd rid 'em, but seein' I wuz sot agin it he gin up.
"Git on that thar mule, Birt, an' ride over ter Nate's, an' find out what ails him, ef so be ye hanker ter know. I don't want nobody workin' in this hyar tanyard ez looks ez mournful ez ye do like ez ef ye hed been buried an' dug up. But hurry back, 'kase there ain't enough bark ground yit, an' I hev got other turns o' work I want ye ter do besides 'fore dark."
She raised her dark-blue pensive eyes. "My poor Sergius! With all your triumphs, do you still hanker for a wayside weed? Alas! the weed has tough roots that cannot be pulled up to please you! I would make you happy if I could, dear friend! but in the way you ask, I cannot!" His heart beat thickly. "Why?" "Why? Ask why the rain will not melt marble into snow!
"Well, I'm like the Yankee backwoodsman, Mark, my lad. He didn't `hanker arter crows' after he had eaten them once. I don't `hanker arter' snakes, but I'd sooner sit down to a section of boa-constrictor roasted in the ashes than starve." "I don't think I would." "Wait till you are starving, my lad."
But what we both want, what we both hanker for, starve for, is just life! Who cares if there is pain with it? I don't, nor do you. And yet we keep on stunting and stultifying ourselves with these old-fashioned remedies for a disease we only half understand, when we might have all the world and then some. Oh, we're fools we're fools!" His voice rang wildly passionate.
"And now what are your plans, young men?" smiled the hanker, after all had taken seats in his office in the rear of the bank. The lads waited for Professor Zepplin to speak. "Tell Mr. Simms what you have in mind," he urged. "We had thought of going over the old Custer trail," spoke up Walter. "Where, down in the Black Hills?" "No, not so far down as that.
But men have never told us it was unfeminine for women to do the heavy drudgery that's badly paid. That kind of work had to be done by somebody, and men didn't hanker after it. Oh, no! Let the women scrub and cook and wash, or teach without diplomas on half pay. That's all right. But if they want to try their hand at the better-rewarded work of the liberal professions oh, very unfeminine indeed.
Do we do better, when we hanker after something more tangible than an unseen Guide, Helper, Stay, Joy, and Peace-bringer for our hearts, and declare plainly, by our eager race after created good, that we do not reckon God by Himself enough for us? III. The part of Samuel's address with which we are concerned here closes with the application of the history to the present time.
My governor had the iron in his. He banked everything on me and I wasn't up to the expectation. I was made out of the odds and ends that were left out of his constitution and we didn't get on. My mother " Jock pulled himself together; "she was the sort those self-made men generally hanker after, all lady, and pretty and dainty. You know the kind?" Drew nodded. His face was ashen.
Of course, it would be all right to work in the platform some stuff about the tariff and sound money and the Philippines, as no platform seems to be complete without them, but they wouldn't count. The people would read only the first plank and then hanker for election day to come to put the Democratic party in office. I see a vision. I see the civil service monster lyin' flat on the ground.
