The following is tho aphoristic lore conveyed in the corrupt French of the colored population of Louisiana, the French West Indies, Bourbon and Mauritius. Some samples of this queer dialect speak well for negro shrewdness— as "When tho master sings tho negro dances ; when the overseer whistles, the negro jumps." In other words, it is tho man -wielding authority directly who is to be feared. Again, we have "You needn't teach an old monkey to make faces" — an equiva'ent, apparently, of our own proverb about our grandmothers and the sucking of eggs. Another is " A monkey does not watch his own tail" — meaning that we are prone to see faults of others rather than our own. Some of these sayings have a touch of sadness, as " The teeth wear no mourning," which implies that we may laugh with sorrow at the heart — alluding to the white teeth of the colored people. One of the oldest of Gombo proverbs is that " We must not tie up a dog with a string of sausages" — which conveys the wholesome lesson that it is wrong to put irresistible temptation in a faithful servant's way.
