Had they struck another piece of white water the end must have come for them, for their craft would have been beyond the control of their weary arms. Good-fortune was with them, however, and Jesse's efforts steadily lightened their little ship, while the others kept her headed up, quartering into the long waves.
"Aye! keep it for this mighty West Till truth shall glorious be, And good old Samuel's is confest Columbia's primal see. 'Tis better than a diadem, The crown that Bishop wore, Whose hand the rod of Jesse's stem The farthest westward bore!" The Rev. Dr.
He remembered how in the old Bible story the Lord had appeared to that other Jesse and told him to send his son David to where Saul and the men of Israel were fighting the Philistines in the Valley of Elah. Into Jesse's mind came the conviction that all of the Ohio farmers who owned land in the valley of Wine Creek were Philistines and enemies of God.
The first sight of a large bear has been known to unsettle the nerves of many a grown man, and it was not to be wondered at that it should disturb one of Jesse's years. There was, perhaps, in the wild and remote situation in which they found themselves something which gave them courage. They had escaped such dangers of the sea that now the danger of the land seemed less by comparison.
Tha' nobbut knocked a bit sillier than ordinary, an' that's daaft eneaf. An' soa he went on, callin' me all the names he could think on, but settin' my arm, wi' Jesse's help, as careful as could be. 'Yo' mun let the big oaf bide here a bit, Jesse, he says, when he hed strapped me up an' given me a dose o' physic; 'an' you an' 'Liza will tend him, though he's scarcelins worth the trouble.
The next king, Jesse's ruddy-faced shepherd boy, was anointed by Samuel at Bethlehem, and for seven and a half years he reigned over Judah from his capital at Hebron. Abner made Ish-bosheth, the only surviving son of Saul, king over Israel, "and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David."
So long as it was broad daylight, and he displayed no hostility, he knew he was safe and he had plans. Standing before the Hollman store were Jim Asberry and several companions. They greeted Tamarack affably, and he paused to talk. "Ridin' over ter Misery?" inquired Asberry. "'Lowed I mout as well." "Mind ef I rides with ye es fur es Jesse's place?"
Louis" and "Egypt," two carriage-horses of fine action; a buggy horse named "Julia;" Master Jesse's Shetland ponies, "Billy Button" and "Reb;" "Jeff Davis," a natural pacer; "Mary," Miss Nellie's saddle-horse; "Jennie," a brood mare, and three Hambletonian colts. Five vehicles were in the carriage house a landau, a barouche, a light road-wagon, a top-buggy, and a pony- phaeton for the children.
Two hours ago they was swimming in Johnson's pond yander. I caught 'em yes, ma'am. It's about all I'm good for now, catching trout and cod occasional. But 'tweren't always so not by no manner of means. I used to do other things, as you'd admit if you saw my life-book." I was so hungry and tired that I did not then "rise to the bait" of Uncle Jesse's "life-book."
It is evident that Samuel kept the reason of his wish to see Jesse's sons to himself; for disclosure would have brought about the danger which he was so anxious to avoid. It appears, too, from verse 13, that only the family of Jesse were present.
