LETTER XL rmzvrLLB, Dec. 90.âTo Mr. Thompson: Dear SirâIt Mean out folkei always la lo a fuae. FI rat it was DOTln. then it wm* bogkllllo, and cow every thing la topav-lurvv ataklo ready foe Crlsmut. 1 do blieve Ilia olggwa It showered every spot from the garret to the doreatepe, aod every time I comt into tbe bouae (bay's all holler in oat, âuiÂŤr now, Ids* Joe, lest look at your traektl" and âdonât you step on the heath, for itâs Jest re deoed,â and âdonât you (pit agin the Jam.â and aich foolery, jo*l at If peo pleâs house* wasnât made fur âem to live in. It really put* me out of all patience to see aich nonsensical dolus. And mother, she** had all the nigger* ehoppln aeaage meat to maka mlnot pie, aod pooodln aploe and ginger, aod making marvel* and but in rgt to male* ponodeake, aod all aoru of swett doloe for Criamua; fur wbeu she take* anything into her head, aba ain't a gwine to be outdone by nobody. 8be sea Crlsmni donât oom* but once a year now-a-days, and sbe's gwine lo treat It haneum when II dors cumâ â˘boâs gwine lo abow tha Bull in tee that â˘heâ* used to at good llvlu a* moat of foke*. Well, I glory in her spunk, but Itâe monel root expensive to go things on Umi big Qger that ebeâe oo now; It never ought to be dona only for wed dlna, end It wouldo't do torn wtaar ther was to be many weodlna Id the same family. 1 tell you what, I waa monslroua riled tothsr day whan I got a letter from Crotohett oallln me all aorta of hard uemea, and abuiln me every thlog be could think of. 1 showed It hi the Stalllnaea. and Mioa Mar? led he waa good for notblog wicked retch, to go and run off and leave hie wife and chit dnm, and tbeo wbeo he was found out, to dare to go end write about a respec table geaUoman la that way. âThalâa Jest the way with the world, my oblld,â ere old Mlsi AUllioe, "the bigger rascal a wan la the mote Inaur auoe heâs got.
