Too much whisky and tobacco and hog-meat have deprived us of physical beauty, and we are sadly lacking in moral strength, but the life of freedom and lawlessness developed good traits, too. We don't lie, that is, about important things," he added, hastily, putting his hand under his coat; "and we don't steal, and we are loyal to our friends."
Lights were carried round into all the dark corners of the boat, but neither dead nor wounded, nor trace of blood, could be discovered; and at length men broke out in laughter, and stated their belief that the "hul thing was a hoax." So declared the dealer in hog-meat, who seemed rather gratified that he no longer stood alone as a contriver of false alarms.
If they have hog-meat and hominy, whiskey and tobacco, they are content; they will not trouble themselves to plant fruit-trees. The early settlers in the North were, generally, very poor men; they could not afford to buy fruit-trees, for the produce of which they must wait several years. Wheat, corn, and hogs were the articles which could be soonest converted into money, and those they raised.
Most probably the second supposition was the correct one he was a dealer in hog-meat. One of the fine gentlemen I have described sat opposite to where I was standing. He appeared to be losing considerable sums, which the farmer or pork-merchant was winning. It proved that the luck of the cards was not in favour of the smartest-looking players an inducement to other plain people to try a hand.
"Give me a drink, I am dyin'." "I dun tole you dat it was ag'in the massah's ordahs, sah." "He said I could have water if I would talk," growled Stiger. "Is yo' ready to talk?" "Yes." At once the negro called his master, who was busy, with the boys and Poke Stover, in putting down some hog-meat for the winter. Knowing how greatly Stiger must suffer, Amos Radbury went to him without delay.
Jim was doing a sum on the brown paper that came over the basket, and presently he looked up and said slowly: "Ma, I guess we can't have the turkey this year. I kin sell it fer a dollar seventy-five, and that would buy us hog-meat fer a good while." Mrs. Wiggs's face fell, and she twisted her apron-string in silence.
While this affair was under the deliberation of the committee, the commons unanimously issued an order for leave to bring in a bill to continue, for a limited time, the act of last session, permitting the importation of salted beef from Ireland into Great Britain, with an instruction to receive a clause extending this permission to all sorts of salted pork, or hog-meat, as the officers of the customhouse had refused to admit hams from Ireland to an entry.
You folks livin' in town don't understand what it means for a farmer to lose his pigs. Old Bennett warn't no hunter, and wild meat ain't like hog-meat, anyway. If the b'ar got those porkers them young 'uns would go mighty hungry the next winter.
And this reminds me that in Oregon the country people usually ask you if you will eat an "egg-omelet;" and they speak of pork a favorite food of the Pike as "hog-meat."
As you say, sir, Englishmen are good whist-players. It's their national game, I believe." "Won't be a fair match, Mr Chorley," said the dealer in hog-meat; "but since you propose it, if Mr Hatcher here your name, sir, I believe?" "Hatcher is my name," replied the person addressed, the same who suggested whist.
