His Position.

“Yassah! Yassah! Hol on a minute, if; yo’ please, sab! Dess lemma tell yo’ how ’t is!" expostulated a colored citizen who was down on his back and being elaborately chastised by a larger and somewhat harder headed gentleman of his own race. “I’ll pay yo’ de money If yo’ puts de argymunt to me in his niannah. Yassah! —pay yo’ de money right now, wldout no mo’ o’ dis beatin* and hommerin’; but I want it understood, sah, dat I isn’t no ways ’thusiastic ’bout It. I bows to de indelible when I meet It, sah, but 1 keeps muh ’thuslasm to muhse’f—yassah, keeps it to muhs’ef to de bitter end!”—Puck.
