Why they didh t eat em after tbey got out of the ' wilder ness and settled down in a new country I don't know, for the preachers say . all of them sort of laws expired in 40 years, abd was only intended for camp life on the wrong side of Jordan, ana St Paul say's there aint nothin unclean, but evil' be' :to him who evil thinks. - As for -me myself, I'm not overly nice about what I eat and what I don't eat. 1're been both tired and hungry for the last thirty years and hare learned to relish a good many tnings I didn't use to. Mrs Arp done that. Sue converted me to oysters, and tripe, and turklej and hog brains, etc, that I wasent raised on, but I never, could convert her to codfish, nor pumkin-pie nor whippin the children, nor anything else she wasent raised on, which illustrates my .willingness to submit to her in her spheer, and if we could always agree on the Bize of , the spheer everything, would . be calm and se reen. it I remember what a hard time some of the Jew soldiers bad in our confederate army, for they wouldent eat swine, and sometimes we dident get beef for weeks at a time, and geese wasent convenient, and fish was scace, but they got along some how and kept up with the rest of us and made no fuss about it and right here 1 will observe that if any particular class of people made better soldiers generally thah any other class, it was the Jews. There wasent many of etri, but I never knowd one to flinch in the hour of peril, nor to dodge frbm his duty, nor shoot his fingers off, nor get behind a tree and waive his arms out for a . furlo. I remember how that, after a long march in terrible weath er, poor Jonas came dragging himself up to Dr Miller's tent, wet, hungry and cold, and when the doctor asked him where his company was, said he, with a salute, "I'm the company, doctor wbats left of it the Test are killed, or wounded, or sick, or on furlo." NobleJew was Jonas as umble as he was true.- Silent,' serious and uncomplaining, he never asked for any thing but ."orders." - Oar New England brethren don't eat much more hog ' meat than the Jews. When you go about among em and bear em say its-most time to kill porky it just means one hog thats all and he was raised on slop and dident know a grain of corn from a cow tick. His carcass is put in pickle right off and kept there till its consumed. And they don't eat as much swine anywhere North or West as we do in the cotton . States. They have more cattle and sheep and fish, and it may be that our folks live on it to exoess, but if there is anything, in the. shape of fish, flesh or fowl, that's better or more healthy to a working man than boiled bam I don't know it.
