‘Who was your mother?’ ‘Never had none!’ said the child, with another grin. ‘Never had any mother? What do you mean? Where were you born?’ ‘Never was born!’ ‘Do you know who made you?’ ‘Nobody, as I knows on,’ said the child, with a short laugh. . . . ‘I ‘spect I grow’d.’

A cook she certainly was, in the very bone and centre of her soul. Not a….turkey….in the barn-yard but looked grave when they saw her approaching, and seemed evidently to be reflecting on their latter end; and certain it was that she was always meditating on trussing, stuffing and roasting, to a degree that was calculated to inspire terror in any reflecting fowl living.

A day of grace is yet held out to us. Both North and South have been guilty before God; and the Christian Church has a heavy account to answer.

The man that dies in the house he was born in is a wonder. There is something pleasant in the permanence and repose of the English family estate, which we, in America, know very little of.
