Old Uncle Sam dident ta
much, but sometimes he won
lean on his hoe or his ax at
spress his feelins. It did hi
good. Ho has been choppir
my wood and helping me in tl
garden for thirteen years an
we will miss him. Ho fell dow
paralyzed with his hoe in li
hand. He was "the man wit
the hoe" to the very last, bi
lie never was poor, for ho mat:
a good living and had man
friends and owned a comfor
able house and lot. They boi
to my wife for some grav
clothes and he will be buried i
a right decent suit of mine an
we will go to his funeral.
T was ruminating about th
good old negro who had see
thirty-three years of slavery an
thirty-seven of feedom and kne1
the good and the bad of hot
conditions and then my thougl
wandered to the malignity <

long without a cause. Here

Whittier and thirty-seven <

as it really was than ho di
about Barbara Freitchie and 1
fed the young people of Ne
England upon poetic lies ft
thirty years and instilled inl
their hearts that hatred froi

covered. Strange it is thi
smart people will write aboi
things they have never seer
