1 fs Marsa, J was a slave in my time.
J'sc free now, like do reslof'em: but
once J 'longed to .Marsa Cardigan, lion
fine mnn, Marsa I'ardigtn. Ib-al fnst
class folks. High-up folks. So was
missus- Miss Sua w called her. I was
treated fti-t rate, and they fought a
heap of mo: and for years and years
J'd just been as happy as a bird; and I
was happiest of al! when I married
Jeff.
.IciT was do l.:klieit colored man on
de place. Marsa's own man -took care
of liim ever since he was a baby, tof-d
nim round and taught liim how to ride,
and ho was fought hca of. So. wiion
missus found out lat I likod .left", and
d;it .IciT likod mo, she said sho wouldn't
like imlhn lH-ttr dan dat wo should
stop off, and ofl w stpirod.
.Missus jrivo us a hi wfddin'. Vv'o
was ji s' as happy ! 1 h,u have no sicli
fine tinifs now, I toll you-.lolToin'
out to whitewash and me to clean house.
Well, deie wus one linjr. I do say, .Jeff
v.-ns wronjf in. He had a mighty had
temper. IImI lie all light as long as ho
.....,. ..i, . 1...1 i . - -. .
ni.- ui-i-vuii, itui in- nnniL nc wus
mad he'd Hare up and sa jest what wus
in his mind. Ami when we'd heen mar
ried about a ear, marsa fmind sumo
fault v.id him 1miuI sulliuMat wasn't
his doin, and wouldn't listen to no ex
cuse, and says to him;
"Hold your tongue, nu blaok liar.''
Now what .J-JT ought U have done
wus to say uunin'aurl wait till marsa
wus reasonable; hut stead ofdoiudat
he ups and s;us:
"One of us is a liar, 3Iarsa, dal's sar
tin, luit it ain't me."
I heaied dat, and 1 "sjieeted tosoe.JelT
horsewhipped. J'.ut marsa rose up kin
der quiet like and looked at .left".
"I've treated ou too Well, I see."
says he. "Ileie, 1'omppy, Pedro, you
two take .loll oil to the strong room and
lock him m. There'll ho a dealer here
to-monow buying for the Xcw Orleans
trade, and I'll sell you cheap. Now,
get:-
I 'cor .loir: 1 low ashy ho looked.
".Marsa!" says he. -Oh, Marsa' I've
been wid you all your life! J'H neher
say uuiiin'.sas ag'm."
JIul marsa didn't pay no attention.
Xo l.n-.v ho didn't to me. I hogged. I
praed, 1 cried; and at last. after marsa
had Ihieatened to ilog me, I jest went
down on my knees and owed that he
hhouldn t live to soil .IcIT next day.
Wo darkies know somethings th.it
white folks don't. .Mothers tell their
daiters. ami fathers their soi.s so it's
handed down without writin'. We
know one s .it of ioion that we make
out of a weed, and it, white as water,
and has no taMe; but put four drops i?i
agla.vsof amthing.and whoever drinks
it one hour will nebei see do next. Now
J had an oh! aunt on iW pl.sce, and arier
work was ober, 1 went to her. Aunt
"".very night before 1-e went to b-d
marsa ordered a bowl ot hot stuff, and
he and missus drank it after dey wus in
dere rooms.
i'tlaek Sam mixed it, and Libby took
it up. When I got hack to the Ikkuk
she wus goin' i stairs with it.
Libby wus a lazy creature, so I know
how to come over her.
'I'll save you dose steps," says I.
"Gib me de tray," and she handed it
ober, and up I went. De stuff was in a
pitcher, ami dere were two gl.i?ses. I
set tie tray down on a little tabic, and I
felt mighty bad.
"Mebhe m be haunted. .Mebbe I'll
go to do bad plane h"ii I tliy." says I;
"but any way, white ver happen.. Jeff
won't be sold tiwnorrow.' Then I says.
"I hope missus won't taste it; but I
must risk it," and in 1 emptied the white
drops. Jest in time, for I heard marsa's
step, and it was all I could do to get out
of the window and hide myself on the
veranda roof before they come in. I
enmeiis'l down low ami popped through
tic slats ob de blinds, and I saw missus
sit down, and saw marsa pour out a
glass for her. and den lill one for himself.
I felt hard-hearted den. What did ic
caieforme and my poor husband. Jos
a word fiom dein wus to make n.-j wretch
ed for life. As f saw dem swallow it 1
said to myself, "Ah" you won't look like
dat tO'inoi row," ami groaned. 1 .-n she
alio begun to let down her hair, and he
to jdav with it. And t'efl and I never
to see each other ag'in, I thought, f'd
in' like a tiger, and dei she turned
around and put up her Uu'i and kissed
him. and says she:
".My dear, of course you'r-not going,
to M-l! J off to the trader to-morrow V"
"Of course not," said he. "1 could not
sell Jeff any more than I could a broth
er, and J never sold married folks a part,
and I never will. There's no trader
coming. 1 can't afford to give my peo
ple up, hut 1 won't sell l hem so as to
part families. I mount to frighten Jeff."
"Let me tell Dinah." said .Miss Sara.
"She. won't sleep all night."
"No. no," said he; "she'll go over to
the Htroug room and tell Jeff, and the
boys iie'd a lesson, all of them. I'll
forgive hi in formally to-morrow."
1 gave a groan, and clasped my hands.
and wrung dem togeder. Marsa had
never meant to sell .b-Jf.and what had 1
done? .Marsa and missus had swal
leied h poison; ih' be dead afore
mornin'. I'd killed dm; and den Isaw
jes' how wicked I was jes" what do end
of it all would In.
i rolled off the shed next inhnt in a
kind of n't.
Next thing T knew I wus in bed, .left
wus standi!)' by me, ami Aunt l'.irmy
wus stirrin' up a cup of some stuff, and
some one was savin', "I reckon she'll do
now." I looked up ami saw marsa
yes, and missus, too. .Axid missus
smiled at me.
"It's all right, Dinah," said sm?; "Jeff
isn't sold."
Den I caught hold of Aunt i'anoy's
apron, and whispered;
"Aunt l'.irmy, is dem ghosLs?"
She says: "shet up. chile, and go to
sleep."
Jhit. when marsa and missus had gone
out, sho jes' puts her head down and
whispers;
"You needn't he'skeend about de
white drops. I knowed you'd be up to
some mischief, and all I gib you wus

now."
Glad! Oh, 1 was jes' as glad as an

It's all ober now. Oie place is gone.

ward nailed. Here the minister mad
a point of being present, and hither the
able-lKXlied men of the neighborhood,
the young men esjiecially, were sum
mimed, and took part m the work with
great alacrity. It was a spectaide for
us next to that of a performer on the
li ght-rope, io se the young men walk
stiwlily on the narrow footing of the
beams at si great heiirht from the
ground, or as they stood to catch in
their hands the wooden pins acd the
braces llung to the in from below.
They vied "with each other in the dex
terity ami daring with which ihy went
through with the work, and when the
skeleton of the building was put to
gether, smic mil' among them generally
capped tie climax of fearless activity
by standing mi the ridge-pole with his
head downward and his heels in the
air.
Another of the entertainments of
rustic life in the region of which 1 am
speaking was the making of maple
sugar. Thi-; was a favorite frolic of the
Imas. The apparatus for the sugar
camp w;is of n much ruder kind than
is now used. The sap was brought in
buckets from the wounded trees and
poured into a great caldron which hung
over a hot tire from a stout horizontal
polo supported at oaeh end by an uje
right stake planted in the ground.
S'.noe that time they have built in every
iuil" grove a sugar-house a little
bu.viiuu in which the piocessof mak
ing lugar is carried on with several
ingenious contri ances unknown at
that t)ae, when everything was done
in the open air.
In autumn, the task of stripping the
husk fiom the oars of Indian corn was
made the occasion of social meeting-,
in which the boys took a special part.
A farmer would appoint what was
called "a husking," to which ho invited
his neighbors. The ears of mai.e in
the husk, sometimes along with part
of the stalk, were heaped on the barn:

willing to let him get a good ready to

widow about four months ago. and they
had not been wedded two weeks- when
ho gave her a beating. She ovei looked
it then, thinking he would soon tone
down, but in a week more he blacked
her eyes. In brief, llobbins turned out
to bo a brute of a husband, and tho ex
widow had the sympathy of all the
neghhors. She is said to be meek and
humble in spirit ami llobbins has no
excuse for his brutality. Four or live
days ago he knocked her down and
started off up town, and the wife
crawled over to a butcher's to see about

who weighs 1J)0 pounds and has a fist
like a maul, knew a better way than
going to the police, and he unfolded a
plan.
"When bobbins reached home that
evening the house was dark and the
butcher, dressed in women's clothes and
with his jaws tied up, sat in the rocking
chair.
"Why in blazes isn't supper ready?"
howled Eobbins as he stood in the door.
The butcher groaned.
"Grunting around again, are vou!"
shouted Jtohbius. "What's the matter
now?"
The butcher groaned again.
"You feel too high-toned to answer
me, do you!" growled the wife-beater.
"Well, we'll see about that. Just take
this, will you!"
He struck out, but the disgusted
butcher caught his wrist, sprang u

noon, brought the young people of the
parish together in attendance upon a
singing-school. Some person who pos
sessed more than common power of
voice and skill in modulating it, was
employed to leach psalmody, and the
boys were naturally attracted to his
school as a recreation. It often hap
pened that the teacher was an enthusi
ast in his vocation, and thundered foith
tie airs set down in the music-books
with a fervor that was contagious. A
few of those who attempted to learn
psalmody were told that they had no
aptitude for the art and were set aside,
but that did not prevent their attend
ance as hearers of the others. In those
days a set of tunes wore in fashion
mostly of New Lngland origin, which
have since been laid aside in obedience
to a more fastidious taste.
The streams which bickered through
the narrow glens of the region in which
I lived were much better stocked with
trout in those days than now, for the
country had heen newly opened to set
tlement. The boys all were anglers. J
confess to having felt a strong interest
in that "sport," as I no longer call it. I
I have long since been weaned from the
propensity of which I speak; but I have
no doubt that the instinct which in
clines so many to it. and some of them
our grave divines, is a remnant of the
original wild nature of man. Another
"sport," to which the young men of the
neighborhood sometimes admitted the
elder boys, was the autumnal squirrel
hunt. The young men formed them
selves into two parties equal in num
ber, and fixed a day for the shooting.
The party which on that day brought
down the greatest number of squirrels
was declared the victor, and the contest
ended with some sort of festivity m the
scinery: but it lies tHi deep it the
he.-u't for words to express. V is poetry
that is felt rather than spoken. A
h: j'pv home is a jH,em which every one
ol the .family is helping to write, e-v-h
for the enjoyment of the rest, by little
deeds of kindness and self-saf rifiee.
