"When ahe were gone Vay I tore

blowed up, an I a pose lorn oone
get blowed up, too, for I'a neber
seen him since.
"Aft' dat a fyell I mahied Joe,
kase he was lively an kep' us all
a-laughin' with his jokes, lie play
ed de fiddle like an angel, too, an'
when I sot an' listened seemed aa
cf I could ace beyond do stahs cl'ar
into de JSTcw Jerusalem. But Joe
didn't have good judgment 'bout
some msttahs. De wall was a-gwine
on by dis time, an' nuffin' would do
but Joe ho mus' go with Kunnel
Mahehall down into Jawgy for to
jine de 'federate ahmy. De kunnel
was his mastah, but he didn't hab
to go. He was a-gwino to bo a
drummah an' was dat heedless he
nevah 'fleeted dat he was on de
wrong side. Reckon he nevah a'rosed
darM be anything clae but playin'
on de fife ap' drum. In do berry
fust skrimmago dey had Joe was
killed. Might 'a' knowed he'd had
bad luck, an I tole him so 'fore he
went. Joe had a good heart, dough,
an' I don t spect de Lawd will be
hard on him for babin been bawn
so giddy.
"Aft' while, whoa de prockelma
tion act de culled people free, de
family bruck up, an' I went up to
Louisville for to get washin' an'
i'nin'. Dar I met Mistah . Smith
at pra'r moetin. He were pow'ful
in pra'r, an' he seem struck with
my 'pearance. I had on my violent
dress lor de fust time. At de sec
ond pra'r meetin' he tole me he'd
had a hebenly vision which sayed 1
was to be hie second pohtnah.
Courso I couldn't stan' out 'gainst
de will oh do Iwd, an dat's why
I's now Mrs. Smith. His name
was Obadiah, but he 'quested me for
to call him Mistah Smith; sayed it
'corded bet tab. wid do condition ob
do woman to be 'epectful to de hus-
ban', man, no say, nein bo penvr.
"Mistah Smith an' me we done git
along comf 'tably till he died, which
was 3es befo' I coTne heah. I nebah
had no fault to fine, 'cept dat he
did talk too much 'bout de fust
Mrs. Smith. I'a had a heap ob trou
ble wid dat boy ob hers, but I's tried
to do my juty by him. I'a whipped
him once a week reglah, kase he's
pow'ful bad, but he's mos' too big
for me now, an' I'a 'fraid de deb-
UU aa vva. tinui
"tfhat '11 I do in heben wid so
many husban's? I won't hab but
one, bless de Lawd, an' dat's Csesah.
Tom he won't be dah. Joe he'll be
so tuck up wid de harps an' de ban
jos -dat he won't think ob nuffin'
else an' Mistah Smith can 'joy his
self wid dat fust wife. - '
"IU hab Cffah, an 111 hab Rosy,
