The Huron Expositor, 1878-10-11, Page 2THE HURONEiPOSITOR. CAL CULVER AND T DE V 1,1e. But sez I, You're nearer to ;the devil, a settle right there, parson, VI an ever you was afore.' By jinks! I • sn't want no wnss devil retina than a for- everlastint jawin' woman, Jim Be be, now I tell ye." Thunder!" ejaculated Jim, not knowing what else to say to this as n- ishing burst of confidence on 1 al's part. "Yes, 8r! it's thunder and ligh nin too, and dono how totstand it, nor ow to get red oia't." Jim had no advice to give. - In those days a married pair were helpkss, how- ever incompatible they might be; they had to jog along the highways and by- ways of life like an ill -mated pair of oxen however the yoke galled thein, or however mucli they wanted to gore each other. It was a relief to Carl to have freed his mind to Sim Beehe,whona he knew tit be reticent of any real con- fidence; but it was only a temporary relief; he was as unhappy, or rather as uncomfortable, as a person Of his tem- perament could bo; and Polythi was more unhappy still. Before two °rears of her married life had gone by she -had learned to thoroughly despise her bus - band; she knew him to be radially lazy and self-indulgent-traite tor w slae.had no mercy or patience. It netoceur to her that in her own she equally indulged. herself! This aloe distinction often .drawn by per who do not seem able to see that set diligence can lie in yielding to evil per and irritated nerves i quite as s and far more painfully to others, giving way to an indolent and ease ing na ure. Polythi even claimed t doh did way is -a ens :-in- em- rely an ov- be relig ous wOlnartl, or to have such in- tentions; she had assentedttothe "half- way" covenant of those times; which made her a god of Pestulent for full membership at some future peried, and she had an. honest ,deeire to be a good woman; but she was quite unaware how bitter and stinging her speech was • to Calvary, how differently it -soun:dediu his eers and hers. It was•tho habitof her life to scold, but it was an unpleas- ant novelty to him, and for the sake of , what little peace was left to his mother he forbare conflict, but echos° flight in- stead., Now, if Polly Culver ever had loyed'anybody on earth it -was her hand- some worthless husband., and while she despised his character, she,raged with • frentic jealousy at his negleet. Anom- • alous, perhaps.; but women are all an- omalies. She would have forgotten all • his sins had he condescended. to coax- ing and caressing, but she would have gone 011 scolding just as usual. At the end of two years, Granny Culver died, peacefully and joyfully. She was glad to go .sornewhere else, if her faith- was - not very vivid or her hope akar. A sort of dim but helpful belief upheld her to the verge of the grave. Naturally dull of intellect, uneducated, wearing away her hard and simple life in the - pursuit of daily bread, yet th.e relies of early teaching lingered tvith her, and she died with folded hands, saying, "Our Father," and the words at which she left off were, "Thy will be done." Calvary went after Parson Robbins to attend the funeral. The parson him- self answered that stout thump at the, front door. . . " Sey, parson, can yen 'tend up to mother's funeral, to-morrer ?" "Is • your naother dead, Calvary? Why I why ! why?" •- " Ef she wasn't there wouldn't be no need a' a funeral," muttered ealvitry.uo- der his breath, for the person was a lit - tie deaf. • " I well! What was the matter? what was her complaint? what did. she die of, eh ?", Pollythi," stoutly responded Cal. " Polypus! Dear! dear ! Strange dis- order. I never heard of a case in these parts." " Pollythi, I said !" shouted the indig- nant son. " Calvary Culver I" The parson's in- dignation rendered him speechless.. "Weil,sho did, anyhow ,• and it's a wuss disease 'n t'other polly, a .heap.. I'm like to die on't myself Mote long, ef eornebody don't doctor her fort." "Your frame of mind is carnal in- deed," began Persitu Robbius, "if you can talk such talk about your lewful wife." "Weil, I shouldn't say nothing about her ef she widn't my wife," answered the incorrigible Cal ; but ef a man: done what his wife is, who, does? I toll ye Pollythi's the devil and " Hold your profane tongue, iir ! "- flamed the parson. 'Tain't no sech; it don't say nowheres in the Bible nothin' about takintSatan's name in vain, now bet ye. Beeides, I took it to good puppus, an' Pll Say it agile fora copper. I'd, a darn sightlrath- er the Old Boy was arter me than Poll, anyway." " Calvary Culver, I've a great inincl to set the tithieg man after you fbr us - ng profane and 100.S-0 taak ; and t will surely if you offend. again. This is not to be berue." " Well, it ain't to tho pint, that'd a fact, parson, let's commence to the be- ginning again. Say, would you nether hey the corpse fetched to the meanie - house ? and will you futve the funeral services toduerrer, or a Thursday?" " Thursday, in the Lord's House. And I say unto you, beware, Calvary Culver, 1ost you be taken at your word, and the Enemy do indeed come after you to enlist you in 14s service, which death." " Amen !" ejaculated Calvet) , and strode off; but. why did he, a few rods • down the road, stop, slap his thigh in congratulation, and stiffie a laugh out- Wardly that nevertheless shook him all ver? / On Thursday.: the funeral took place in Church. Person Robbins preached a sermon with seventeen heads, calculat- ed to make the flesh creep on the bones of his audience, aud • with abundant mention of the Enemy, therein, as one lying in wait for perishiug sinners -a point which he directed straight at the chief mourner ou this occasion; who re- ceived it decorously, though he after- ward was heard to remark to Jim Beebe that he did "think it was everlasting mean, to jaw at a fellow like that whoa he can't noway jaw back." ° The choir also did their part at exalt- . dug the misery and despair of the occa- sion, by wailing out in the discordant manner of country choirs, " Mear," "China" and "Windham," to appropri- ate words; the whole ceremony, to au unbiassed observer, presenting rather the aspect of a heathen assemblage howl- ing over the dead than a Christian church celebrating the falling asleep of • a sister in the hope of a joyful resurrec- tion. But as this style of funeral ser- vicdeis still prevalent amongst us, we cannot cast any stones at Bassett, but must turn away and follow Cal Culver d --as far af3.We can. Home did not become any more home like, or Polly any lovelierlo Calvary af- ter his mother's death; but rather more dietasteful ; and. before long, exasperat- ed by his wife's constant vituperation, and unrestrained by any fear of troub- ling the poor soul who lay safe asleep in the graveyard, he turned upon the as- tonished. Polly, and gave her a good shaking. This finished. the lest bit of kindly feeling in her heart, and the "dynamic reasop of larger bones " did. not appear logical to her; she raved and raged like a perfect fury, and retaliated by throw- ing the piggin of soft soap at Calveryts head -a missile he would have founcl sufficiently uncomforiableif Polly could have thrown it straight enough to bit: him, but as it was it only broke the flax wheel in its flight, and poured its con- tents of itnetwory jelly over the basket of fresh ironed clothes. Polly fell into hysterics, and Cal picked her up, de- posited her on the bed, and strode off. " What's the Matter o' you !" shouted Jim Beebe, who vtaa going by, seated in an ox -cart, whistling and.balancing his long whimas the heavy red beasts made deliberate progress along the road. . "Plenty," curtly esponded. Cal. d Hadn't seen the Enemy., hey ye ?" plerried Jim. ' I had coosiderable rath- er go to the devil than stay to home 'long or lier,"-poiuting oyer his shoul- der with expressive thumb towards the house. . "Cal Culver! what ef Priest Robbilae heard you?" "Well, what ef he did ? He talks about the devil! Both his wives died. pretty near right off, and that gal o' S'n is almost too good to live, folks• tell. Folks ain't qualified to preach about things onless they know 'em so to be." "Well, there's suthin' • to that," al- lowed Jim, urgin' on -his slow team. "Where you goin'?" • "Over to the store," gloomily an- swered eat. "I'm a-goin' to hire out a spell this year; take it in job. Ef I could get a mite o' cash, I'd go to York, sure as you're born, and. get suthin to do there. e Mebbe Pd get , mite a whal- er." "Why, babe% you got Cash enough? I thought she had rents out o' the houses in Hertford." • - . -. d Heavens-to,Betsey ! -Youdon't think I ever see a copper: 0' her oath, do you? It's trusted out to- a bank in Haeford, quick -as lightniu'. It don't never peek at Bassett; and el it slid, 1 ehouldn't have none o' it." ' "But I blieve, -a,ccordin' to law, it's all your'n, to hey and °to held ain't.it ?" " 'Tain't accordiur to --Pollythi, mid that's morete the pint, a lot. I would- n't heve it nuther-not to git it by law. She'd make it burn my fingers an' pison my pocket. No. sir, I ain't no hanker - in' arter work, but I'd ruther hill corn than squabble for her money." "Well, well, I don't say but I _agree with ye so far. But it seems cur'us kinder how she works it with ye. Say, Deacon Flint he wanes help. , ' He's a- plantin' the the ten -acre medder this year, and he reckons to hire, his rheu- matics is. so awful bad." "1 shan't get puss -proud on his pay," • dryly remarked Cal;. " but mebbe, I'd -better take up with it, seeia' it's: three -miles off." " Haw ! haw! haw !" roared Jim and the Oxen, roused by that familiar sound, turned placidly off tO the left. .And while Jim was trailing them back into position with, "Gee Bach! Gee, I tell ye Bright! Git up! Gee, can't ye?" aud. sundry cracks of the whip., Calvary ' stalked off the other -way, and at night announce(1 to:Pollythi that he: had got a job at Deacon Flint's. •- Ho worked here prettysteadily for a week or tweet:Rowing the greatfield for winter rye, and renewing the fence, whieh was old aud feeble being ' very little at 'honae and receiving Polly's wordy .flights with contemptuous siletioe He took his dinner always to the field - an abundantiand wholesome provision, for Polly :nee* stinted anyodne in their foodd and ma tars appeared to have set - down illtarT1 0 . - armed neutrality, when OM DOOR t1.111 h mighty kuoc,king start- led Parson Robbius ftomr his sermon - writing, and the opened the door to be- hold Calvarti Culver, his fair hair dis- turbed, as if i it had been standing on • eud, his eyes as big as- saucers, and drops of sweat thick over all his face, which was dietuebed by e wild look of -folder and dismay.
