THE STORY OF A MADMA.
ONE OF A CLASS THAT HAS
WELL NIGH PASSED A WA V.
Tay, at Upper Servant in a South
ern Family of the Olden Time.
! Written for The News and Courier hy a
Lady of Aiken, j
One day recently, while turning
over the content)* of an old trunk
which had been mine since girlhood,
had followed me in innumerable
ends full of aaaociations which accu
mulate as life goes on, I came upon an
old pair of half-moon ear-rings; they
were very large, and of old gold.
“Oh," I exclaimed, as I took them
out, “these bring Tay back to the
life."
My little girls had been look
ing on eager-eyed, for mamma’s old
trunk had always possessed a myste
rious charm for Floy and Grace, en
hanced since the autumn w’hen, after
they had given up all hope of having
new cloaks for the winter and heroic
ally resigned themselves, I chanced
to see a stray advertisement for Con
federate bonds, and succeeded in find
ing enough of them in my old box to
supply them with cloaks and other
needed things.
“Who was Tay?" they both ex
claimed. I felt a sense of self-re
proach at the question, and I am sure
to Tay herself the idea that one of her
“ebillun;s chillun ’could have ret.ched
the mature ageof ten years and never
have heard of her existence, would
have seemed incredible. It was not
from lack of any kindly memory of
the old woman that I had not told
the children of her, but my life had
been a busy one, with many invalid
times, when the reverses of life press
ed very heavily, and I shrank invol
untarily from speaking of my child
hood’s days, which were so different
front theirs; and, besides, the chil
dren of the South to-day, whose
motl.ers were half-grown girls at the
time of emancipation, belong to a
new order of things, and are out of
sympathy with their parents on many
subjects. They do not understand
their elders’ feelings about the ne
groes. They look with very unpreju
diced eyes, and as they see the suc
cession of careless, indiflereut cooks
and housemaids come and go, they
are not partial to the race, and cannot
understand the kindness and blind
ness to their faults which are natural
to those who remember the tender
nursing of the dear old maumas. Hut
to return to Tay.
“Who was Tay?” I repeated. “Why
one of the best women, and it is high
time you should hear about her and
love her memory, so if you will get
your knitting and be very quiet I will
tell you her story.”
Her name was Kitty*, but we chil
dren always culled her Tay. When
your grand-mother was married she
was given to her as her maid, and a
most accomplished one she was, be
sides being a skilled seamstress and
clear starcher. When I first remem
ber her a younger woman had taken
her place as maid, and she was upper
servant, always carrying the keys
and taking charge when your grand
mother was ill or absent. She was at
least six feel tall; her waist claimed
half her length, or looked as if it did.
She was quite a light lemon color,
with large black eyes that looked as
if a mill-stone would be no obstacle
to her vision. I assure you her ap
pearance was calculated to inspire
awe in our childish breasts. Her
great height was of itself impressive,
and her costume enhanced it. She
always wore a black dress with a tight
lw»dy; very full skirt, and an enor
mous bustle which was not worn in
those days; a white handkerchief
pinned over her bosom ; white apron,
and to cap the climax a very* stiflly
starched white turban, (all the worn
muslin dresses in the family went to
keep up the supply*.) She always tied
her turbans on a block to shape them;
generally stuffed a newspaper in the
top to keep the shape, and when she
finally deposited one on her head the
effect was very tremendous. Her
pride in her gold ear-rings was great;
she always wore them and kept them
as shiny as could be. With the bask
et of keys on her arm she did not look
like a person to be trifled with, nor
did we ever venture. Her devotion
to us all was very* great—“miss, mans-
sa and the chillun” bounded her hori
zon. Her great idea was to economize,
“for mnussa,” she would say, “is so
free-handed, and six chillun is a
houseful.”
To us children she showed her re
gard by* great sternness of demeanor,
hut compensated by the beautiful
tucking she did on our dresses—the
only sewing she ever did; and your
grandmother had no respite unless
she supplied the material that Tay
thought necessary*. Your grand
mother was so sure of her trustworth
iness that she never interfered with
her management. We never thought
of remonstrating, though she morti
fied us sometimes by her treatment
of our friends. She had no patience
with too many* visitors; she always
presided at our tea, and served us out-
cups of milk and bread and treacle.
We had some little friends who were
said: “My mistresses have no idea into which was literally coins
of how valuable I am; I thought they of gold and silver; o^MiTe fortune in
would have asked at least $300 more; Confederate nioj}£^7besides various
they can’t afford to part with me for old trinkets adu watches which Sam
less, and I mean to pay it.” The ladies j had Inyesfed in.
were not obtiurate, and no doubt had i “-My earrings is there," cite said. “I
an increased idea of Daddy Sam’s'"never wore them since Miss I.ucy
J werth. j died; they looked too bright. Now
This worthy pair had no children, j give this to your ma with Kitty’s du-
Daddy Sam died not long before the ty. I wish she could ha’ closed my*
1 war, leaving Tay quite a little sum of eyes. I know she would ha- done it,
j money. He had offered to buy her but she an’ de young ladies will be
freedom, but she did not desire it. I sorry, I know, when I am gone.”
And then with a Hash of her usual
animation she turned her eyes on her
attendant, Martha, aim said: “Martha
has my* three trunks of does; she
must give them to miss They will
keep the house servants decent for a
time, and your ma does hate sloven.
Martha knows, I will walk at her if
remember after he died she took off:
i her turban when she went to church i
moves, and contained the odds and ; ant j ( ],* nnet ] a gigantic crape veil. One
day she came home very* angry; she
had met some sportsmen going hunt
ing, who had begged her to go along
with them as a ramrod; they had lost
theirs.
When the war began she was very
unhappy. There was no doubt a feel
ing of expectation and disaffection
among the negroes. Tay was a per
fectly loyal nature. She had no sym
pathy with the negro character what
ever. She understood them entirely,
and their meaner traits were revolting
to her. One day, in the early part of
1801, she came in as usual after break
fast to consult your grandmother
about the marketing that had been
sent home. She had such a funny
way of describing the prices; she al
ways involuntarily touched the part
of her frame she was supfosed to be
designating of the mutton or lamb. I
was a light-hearted child then, and
many a hearty laugh have I enjoyed
at unconcious Tay’s expense, as she
would touch her leg or shoulder, or
even her head if a calf’s head were in
question.
But to return to this day. She must
have heard some talk among the
negroes, for after she had got through
her business she lingered and sa d to
her mistress, “Oh miss I have had an
awful dream.” Your grandmother
spoke kindly to her and asked her
what it was. The faithful creature
sat on the floor, looking up into our
faces, said:
“I dreamed," she said, “we was all
in confusion and there w-as a big
crowd, and maussa was sick and you
all looked very sad, and you all was
dressed common; but there was heaps
of niggers around, but they was all a
runnin’ around and kickin’ up a noise,
an’ their arms in their kimbos, an’
not one workiu,’ an’ you called for
some water,an’ not one went to git it,
but I ran fer it and I said, 'Oh miss,
you has been a good fren’ to me, an’
sometimes a bottom rail is more use
thon a same quality one, an’ so long
as Kitty is here there will always be
something betwix you an’ the groun,"
and she burst into tears and left the
room.
Your grandmother said; “She has
had no dream, but she wishes to show
us what is in her heart.”
Ah, children, those were dreadful
days. The guns from Port Royal re
sounded in Charleston. Flight, con
fusion and distress were the order of
the day. There was many a young
life cut short, as truly as though a
bullet had stilled it, and it was not
only the men who laid down their
lives; many a gentle girl was also a
victim. Your grandmother sent my
two sisters and myself to friends in
the interior of the State. She re
mained to look after our affairs, in
tending to go into a hospital as nurse,
if she'was needed. We had been refu
gees but a few* days when your Aunt
Lucy, as lovely a young girl as the
sun ever shown upon, was seized with
brain fever. Her illness was fatal,
and she died before our mother could
reach her.
When we left your grandmother
she had been obliged to go to our
country place, where she remained
alone, the colored driver and the ne
groes being the only people on the
place. Tay had always lived in the
city—even when we were all in the
country she had charge of our city
residence. When the direful news
of your Aunt Lucy’s illness summon
ed your grandmother, Tay hastened
to her and said: “I want you to let
me come and live here; any one can
do what I do in town, but there is a
deal of talk that the whole low coun
try will be took by the enemy, and
the negroes will have to go inside the
country to make bread while their
masters is fighting. Now, miss, let me
stay here and keep an eye, an’ if there
is anything I can do to keep things
straight I am here,an’ if we has to
leave I will go with them an’ keep
them all steady.” Your grandmother
bade “God bless her,” and left. Tay
remained on the plantation the whole
winter. Your grandmother could not
return; but never had there been so
many chickens or turkeys raised, or
so much butter made, and the vege
tables were invaluable in those war
times; but only this faithful creature
had been on the spot to encourage the
other servants. When the summer
came your grandmother wrote to tell
her she must leave the place, as she
was unacclimated to a rice planta
tion ; but she begged to stay a little
longer; she knew she was of service,
and she was well. Then came the
news she was not well. She sent to
tell her young master, who was a na
val officer on duty in the city. He
went at once to see her and rebuked
her for having remained so long in
that unhealthy climate. He got her
very apt to run in just at the tea promise to leave the next day. Find-
hour. Once they came steadily for a
week. We saw the clouds gathering
on Tay’s brow, and were not surprised
when one evening, after she had
helped us all, she turned to our!
friends and said: “To-morrow take
ing she had not arrived in the city,
he went again as soon as he could get
leave, and found her evidently near
her end.
“Ah! Mas Paul,” she said, “I got
up three times to go as I promised
she takes rnythiug out befo’ miss
comes. Lord help me.”
A faithful soul gone home.
No sufferer from any scorfulous dis
ease, who will fairly try Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla, need dispair of a cure. This
remedy purges the blood of all im
purities, destroys the germs of scrofu
la, and infuse* new life and vigor
throughout the physical organiza
tion.

<ifiitleiueii: — A s<nst; of gratirutle
ami the desire to render a service to the
public impel me to make the following
statements:
My college career, at New Haven, was
interrupted hy a severe cold which so
enfeebled me that, for fen years, I had a
hard struggle for life. Hemorrhage
from the bronchial passages was the
result of almost every fresh exposure.
For years l was under treatment of the
ablest practitioners without avail. At
last I learned of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
which I used ( moderately and in small
doses) at the lirst recurrence of a cold
or any eiiest difficulty, and from which
I invariably found relief. This was
over ‘.!. r > years ago. With all sorts of
exposure*, in all sorts of climates, I have
never, to tins day, had any cold nor
any affection of the throat or lungs
which did not yield to Ayku’s Ciikrky
Pectoral within 24 l ours.
Of course I have never allowed my
self to be without this remedy in all iny
voyages and travels. Under my own
observation, it has given relief to vast
numbers of persons; while in acute cases
of pulmonary inflammation, such as
croup ami diphtheria in children, life
lias been preserved through its effects.
I recommend its use in light but fre
quent doses. Properly administered, in
accordance with your directions, it is
A Priceless Blessing
in any house. I speak earnestly because
I feel earnestly. I have known many
cases of apparently confirmed bronchitis
and cough, with loss of voice, particu
larly among clergymen and other public
speakers, perfectly cured by this medi
cine. Faithfully vonrs,

It broke up our tea parties.
Tay bad a husband as remarkable
in his way as she was in here. He
was taller and slimmer even, and as
black iu complexion as she was light.
He was a very prosperous negro for
those days, a cooper by trade, aud be
longed to two maiden ladies, and
plied his trade, paying them wages.
He finally concluded to buy his free
dom, and asked your grandfather to
become his guardian in case of his
accomplishing his purpose; and also
to be so kind as to ask his mistresses
what they would ask for him. Your
grandfather saw the ladies, who fixed
as moderate a price as they could.
When he told Daddy Sam the result
of his negotiation, instead of heit^g
gratified, he was very angry, and
fainted, and as it was do three times I
