Plantation Philosophy.
Nature is de mudder ob de chile, but edycation is de mudder ob de man. Some men says dat de human family is a fraud. Dese men is sorter Joose demselves. Do law ob de State only axes a man ter do half way right ; de law ob de soul tells him to do all de way right. De man what is ashamed of de fack dat he's growin' ole acknowledges dat his work has been badly performed. It is impossible fur man ter be successful an' retain de friendship ob his neighbours, 'case every move towards success is regarded by de public as dishonest. De wust whippin' dat a feller gits is from de man what doan' wan' ter fight. De wasp is mighty quiet, but his sting is awful. De boy what thinks dat his fadder is a fool will arter a while complain ob de roughness ob de fare in de penitentiary. — Arkansaw Traveller.
