It sounds better!” “Suh, Ah done Joined de' chu’ch. Yas Ah did, sucb!” exclaimed the old negress, gazing deprecatingly at the clergyman. “I’m well aware of that, Liza,” re joined the minister, a little surprised at this turn. “It was through my appeals to your heart that you Joined. I’m glad to say!” “Den Ah’s s-prised dat de head ub dat chu’ch, de berry one who preach all Ae virtues ebbery Sunday . should stop a poor old nigger woman'on de street an’ dellb’rately tempt her to -tell a lie.
