Wuz eggsamined. Wuz convinst in his own mind that the Afrikin wuz now
out uv his normal speer, and that the infernal Burow wuz at the bottom
uv it. The nigger, afore the Burow come around, wuz docile and easly
controlled. His boy Joe wuz wunst a model nigger. He'd get up every
mornin at 4 A.M. (wich means in the mornin), and work every day till
after dark. Ez soon ez he wuz emancipated, ez they called it, and the
Burow come, I told him to get up, one mornin; and he told me,
impudently, that he'd concluded he woodent. I undertook to chastise him
with a fence stake, whereupon he sailed in, and whaled me; and the
Burow, to which I applied for redress, larft in my face. He left, and is
now draggin out a mizerable existence in Ohio, on the beggarly pittance
uv two dollars a day, and my farm is runnin to weeds. He conclooded by
givin it ez his solemn opinion that he never cood be reconciled to the
Government so long ez the Burow wuz tolerated, and that Ablishnist held
the Post Orifis at the Corners.
