masters were away fighting +in a cause opposed to their emancipation, +brought their blankets and slept outside their +mistresses' doors, thus keeping night-watch +over otherwise unprotected women and children—a +faithful guardianship of which the +annals of those troublous times record no +instance of betrayal.</h4></blockquote> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg

an artless exponent of +freedom, freedom of conduct as well as of speech, the author of this +trivial volume is perhaps not composing an individual so truly as +individualizing a composite, if the expression will pass.</p> + +<p>The grizzled brown dispenser of homely admonitions is a figure not +unfamiliar to those who have "moved in plantation circles" in the cotton +and sugar country, and touched hands with the kindly dark survivors of +the old regime.</p> + +<p>If the man, Daddy Do-funny, was unique as an individual, perhaps in the +very fact of an individuality unembarrassed by the limitations of +convention, of education and of precedent, he becomes in a sense typical +of his people and of his time.</p> + +<p>Of course, a man is not called Do-funny for nothing, not even playfully +and in the free vernacular of rusticity at its freest.</p> + +<p>One of a small community of superannuated pensioners upon the bounty of +their former owners, Daddy was easily first citizen of Evergreen annex +on Crepe Myrtle plantation, which is to say he was therein a personage +of place and of privilege, coming and going at will, doing as he +pleased, and as, with uplifted eye, he reverently boasted, "sponsible to +nobody but Almighty Gord for manners and behavior."</p> + +<p>Even so late as this year of grace, a full half century after +"emancipation," there are still to be found on many of the larger +plantations in the far South a few such members of the order of the +Rocking-chair, whose records of "good and honorable service" reach back +through periods of bondage, even such kindergartners as septuagenarians +in the privileged class, having clear title to nearly a quarter of a +century of slave memories; not to mention the occasional centenarian +with even his semi-occasional uncle or father poking around, toothless +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>and white-plumed dignitaries, these, sometimes with leaders, being +blind, but ever important in pride of association and memory.</p> + +<p>It is something even if one is bent double and may never again behold +the light of day, to be able to reach back into a dim and forgotten past +and to say, "I remember," especially when the memory recalls days of +brilliance and of importance.</p> + +<p>But Daddy's place among the gentle Knights and Ladies of the +Rocking-chair was far and away above such as these whose thoughts, alert +though they were and loyal, travelled forever backward to the sweet but +worn fields of memory where every pleasure is a recognition and fashions +do not change—a restful retreat for dreamers whose days of activity are +done.</p> + +<p>But Daddy's mind worked forward and upward and although he did not know +the alphabet excepting by rote, a common ante-bellum plantation +accomplishment, and while professing high contempt for what he called +"cold shelf-knowledge," his reputation for wisdom, wisdom as gleaned in +observation and experience and "ripened by insight," was supreme, while +his way of casually tossing it off in bits in playful epigram finally +gave the word its plural form so that the expression "Do-Funny Wisdoms" +came into familiar use.</p> + +<p>As an example of his rambling talk, much of which seems at least +semivagarious on transcription, I recall one of his meandering +dissertations on the value of experience as superior to observation.</p> + +<p>Several of the old people, his neighbors, had joined the listening +children who surrounded him under the fig-tree, and perhaps he +unconsciously deferred to them in his accent of their common possession +in length of days, although he gave no sign of heed to any audience, +when he said:</p> + +<p>"Dey's mighty few facts de same behind an' befo', not to say inside an' +outside, and a man can go roun' an' roun' de blackberry bush an' not git +nowhar. 'Spe'unce is a thorny bramble, an' yer 'bleeged to go <i>th'ough</i> +it, to <i>draw blood</i>, an', I tell yer, <i>de blood is de life</i>!"</p> + +<p>Although this tribute brought grunts of approval from the gray heads, +Daddy was soon off at a tangent in playful fancy, hitting off<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> a foible +or "celebrating truth and justice" in one of the unconscious epigrams +which it is sought herein to preserve, even when having occasionally to +hammer them into shape, for, while Daddy was almost unerring in rhyme, +his rhythm, never at fault in delivery, was strictly a temperamental +matter, not adequately renderable in cold print.</p> + +<p>But more than as philosopher, satirist or seer was the old man +distinguished as a social factor on the place. Wherever his chair was +set, there were the children gathered together, both black and white, +eager listeners to his quaint pictorial recitals, even seeming to +cherish the "Wisdoms" which fell from his tongue, as is not a common way +with children, who seem instinctively to spurn the obviously didactic.</p> + +<p>But Daddy's moralizing, besides its saving grace of imagery, was +generally sequential and convincing; while his repartee, to use a word +which seems almost a misfit in this rural setting, had a way of hitting +the mark and striking fire, as when, in reply to the question from a +forth-putting youngster on one occasion, "Where do you keep all your +wisdoms, Daddy?" he snapped:</p> + +<p>"In my ole toof holes, dat's whar! Wisdoms don't ripen good tel yo' +toofs is ready to drap out. Ev'rybody knows dat Gord A'mighty ain't +nuver is set but one live Wisdom-toof in a man's mouf—an' dat comes +late an' goes early."</p> + +<p>And then he added with a mischievous smile:</p> + +<p>"You-all smarty undergrowth, you ain't chawed life yit. You jes +'speramintin' wid yo' milk-toofs.</p> + +<p>"Now's yo' havin' time, chillen, but <i>to have an' to lose, dat's life</i>!</p> + +<p>"Study wisdom now an' minch on it good wid yo yo'ng baby toofs an' hol' +fas' to it, so's it'll meller down ripe, time de caverns opens for it.</p> + +<p>"But look out! I knows a lot o' ole vacant wisdom caves for rent behin' +dis crepe myrtle hedge—so, I say, watch and pray! Pray for insight an' +outsight! An' even so, dey's some wisdoms so fine you can't see 'em tel +you nearin' Home an' livin' on de far side o' life!"</p> + +<p>Daddy lived alone in a tiny vine-clad cabin and there were times when he +seemed frail and to need care, and the doctor said<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> he was rheumatic. +This, however, he denied, declining companionship while he insisted that +the sharp pains which occasionally twisted his brow were only growing +pains which he was glad to endure as not having got his growth in his +first childhood, he was "'bleeged to wrastle wid it in de second," and, +"of course," he added, "it comes harder when a man's bones is set."</p> + +<p>On days when his pains were bad, he would propel himself around in a +roller-chair, which he called his chariot; and although evidently +suffering, he was never heard to complain. Once, when he seemed almost +helpless, some one asked him how he had got into the chair, and was +quickly silenced by his ready answer, "Gord lifted me in!"</p> + +<p>Now, to Daddy clothes were clothes. In dress as in manners, he knew no +obligation of precedent; and as to fashion, the word made him chuckle.</p> + +<p>When his pains were unusually severe and it was difficult for him to get +into his own garments, he did not hesitate to clothe himself in one of +the flowing wrappers which his old wife, Judy, long since dead, had +worn.</p> + +<p>And thus it happened that while on some days an aged man might have been +seen hobbling about, working among his plants, on others there appeared +to be an old woman propelling herself around in a rolling chair; and +seeing her, his neighbors, with perhaps a chuckle, would remark, "I see +Daddy Do-funny is laid up ag'in!"</p> + +<p>Another peculiar habit of the old man was the way in which he took his +bath—a dangerous process, one would think, for a rheumatic, but +harmless, no doubt, to growing pains. Seeing the rain coming, he would +exclaim: "Gord sendeth de rain! He's offerin' me a bath—just or +unjust!" Then donning his "bath-slip," an old wool wrapper of Judy's and +getting into his roller-chair, he would wheel out and sit calmly in the +shower, often closing his eyes and lifting his face as he exclaimed: +"Bless Gord for de sweet drops! Bless Gord for de rain!" and when he had +had bath enough, he would either put up his umbrella or roll his chair +indoors as he felt inclined.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span></p> + +<p>But perhaps we cannot get nearer the soul of the old man than by +recalling a conversation which occurred during an invasion of the +children, a conversation between him and his guests which is thrown into +a sort of rhyme for easy memorizing, passing from one speaker to another +without more than the natural pause for reply.</p> + +<p>Obviously, the children began it:</p> + +<p class="blockpoem"> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">"Ol' Daddy Do-funny,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 2em;">How do you come on?"</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left:

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/19363-h/images/img011.jpg b/19363-h/images/img011.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

'Spe'unce is a thorny bramble, an' yer 'bleeged to go _th'ough_ +it, to _draw blood_, an', I tell yer, _de blood is de life_!" + +Although this tribute brought grunts of approval from the gray heads, +Daddy was soon off at a tangent in playful fancy, hitting off a foible +or "celebrating truth and justice" in one of the unconscious epigrams +which it is sought herein to preserve, even when having occasionally to +hammer them into shape, for, while Daddy was almost unerring in rhyme, +his rhythm, never at fault in delivery, was strictly a temperamental +matter, not adequately renderable in cold print. + +But more than as philosopher, satirist or seer was the old man +distinguished as a social factor on the place. Wherever his chair was +set, there were the children gathered together, both black and white, +eager listeners to his quaint pictorial recitals, even seeming to +cherish the "Wisdoms" which fell from his tongue, as is not a common way +with children, who seem instinctively to spurn the obviously didactic. + +But Daddy's moralizing, besides its saving grace of imagery, was +generally sequential and convincing; while his repartee, to use a word +which seems almost a misfit in this rural setting, had a way of hitting +the mark and striking fire, as when, in reply to the question from a +forth-putting youngster on one occasion, "Where do you keep all your +wisdoms, Daddy?" he snapped: + +"In my ole toof holes, dat's whar! Wisdoms don't ripen good tel yo' +toofs is ready to drap out. Ev'rybody knows dat Gord A'mighty ain't +nuver is set but one live Wisdom-toof in a man's mouf--an' dat comes +late an' goes early." + +And then he added with a mischievous smile: + +"You-all smarty undergrowth, you ain't chawed life yit. You jes +'speramintin' wid yo' milk-toofs. + +"Now's yo' havin' time, chillen, but _to have an' to lose, dat's life_! + +"Study wisdom now an' minch on it good wid yo yo'ng baby toofs an' hol' +fas' to it, so's it'll meller down ripe, time de caverns opens for it. + +"But look out! I knows a lot o' ole vacant wisdom caves for rent behin' +dis crepe myrtle hedge--so, I say, watch and pray! Pray for insight an' +outsight! An' even so, dey's some wisdoms so fine you can't see 'em tel +you nearin' Home an' livin' on de far side o' life!" + +Daddy lived alone in a tiny vine-clad cabin and there were times when he +seemed frail and to need care, and the doctor said he was rheumatic. +This, however, he denied, declining companionship while he insisted that +the sharp pains which occasionally twisted his brow were only growing +pains which he was glad to endure as not having got his growth in his +first childhood, he was "'bleeged to wrastle wid it in de second," and, +"of course," he added, "it comes harder when a man's bones is set." + +On days when his pains were bad, he would propel himself around in a +roller-chair, which he called his chariot; and although evidently +suffering, he was never heard to complain. Once, when he seemed almost +helpless, some one asked him how he had got into the chair, and was +quickly silenced by his ready answer, "Gord lifted me in!" + +Now, to Daddy clothes were clothes. In dress as in manners, he knew no +obligation of precedent; and as to fashion, the word made him chuckle. + +When his pains were unusually severe and it was difficult for him to get +into his own garments, he did not hesitate to clothe himself in one of +the flowing wrappers which his old wife, Judy, long since dead, had +worn. + +And thus it happened that while on some days an aged man might have been +seen hobbling about, working among his plants, on others there appeared +to be an old woman propelling herself around in a rolling chair; and +seeing her, his neighbors, with perhaps a chuckle, would remark, "I see +Daddy Do-funny is laid up ag'in!" + +Another peculiar habit of the old man was the way in which he took his +bath--a dangerous process, one would think, for a rheumatic, but +harmless, no doubt, to growing pains. Seeing the rain coming, he would +exclaim: "Gord sendeth de rain! He's offerin' me a bath--just or +unjust!" Then donning his "bath-slip," an old wool wrapper of Judy's and +getting into his roller-chair, he would wheel out and sit calmly in the +shower, often closing his eyes and lifting his face as he exclaimed: +"Bless Gord for de sweet drops! Bless Gord for de rain!" and when he had +had bath enough, he would either put up his umbrella or roll his chair +indoors as he felt inclined. + +But perhaps we cannot get nearer the soul of the old man than by +recalling a conversation which occurred during an invasion of the +children, a conversation between him and his guests which is thrown into +a sort of rhyme for easy memorizing, passing from one speaker to another +without more than the natural pause for reply. + +Obviously, the children began it: + + "Ol' Daddy Do-funny, + How do you come on?" + "Po'ly, thank Gord, honey, + Po'ly dis morn. + My ol' spine it's sort o' stiff, + An' my arms dey 'fuze to lif'. + An' de miz'ry 's in my breas', + An' I got some heart-distress. + An' de growin' pains dey lingers, + In my knee-j'ints an' my fingers, + But I'm well, praise Gord, dis mornin'." + + "Ol' Daddy Do-funny, + What cuyus talk! + How is you well, when you + Can't even walk?" + + "Hush, you foolish chillen, hush! + What's dat singin' in de brush? + Ain't dat yonder blue de sky? + Feel de cool breeze passin' by! + Dis ol' painful back an' knee, + Laws-a-mussy, _dey ain't me! + I'm well, praise Gord, dis mornin'!_" + + RUTH McENERY STUART. + + [Illustration] + + + + + CONTENTS + + Page + + Daddy's Weather Prayer 3 + + The Old Rooster 4 + + The Butterfly 5 + + The Wren 6 + + The Watermelon 7 + + The Gourd 8 + + Judge Owl 9 + + The Mosquito 10 + + Confession 11 + + The Game-Cock 12 + + The Epicure 13 + + The Mule 14 + + The Grubworm 15 + + Rain or Shine 16 + + Little Green Tree-Toad 17 + + Sparrows 18 + + The Fly 19 + + The Little Chicken 20 + + The Scare-Crow 21 + + The Yellow Rose 22 + + The Ambitious Cow 23 + + Tried by Fire 24 + + Jack O' Lantern 25 + + The Flea 26 + + Will o' the Wisp 27 + + The Mole 28 + + The Runt 29 + + The Monkey 30 + + The Aristocrat 31 + + The Crawfish 32 + + The Angleworm 33 + + The Chimney-Swallow 34 + + Catching Doodle-Bugs 35 + + The Porcupine 36 + + Ants 37 + + The Parrot 38 + + The Rattle-Snake 39 + + The Persimmon 40 + + In Harness 41 + + The Canary 42 + + Answering Back 43 + + Dat's De Way My Lady'll Do 44 + + The Mammy Alligator 46 + + The New Rich 47 + + The Wibbly Wabbly Calf 48 + + The Turkey-Gobbler 50 + + The Cauliflower 51 + + The Step-Mother 52 + + The Frog 53 + + The Rat 54 + + The Mocking-Bird 55 + + The Mushroom 56 + + The Measuring Worm 57 + + The Top-Knot Hen 58 + + Too Familiar 59 + + The 'Possum 60 + + The Owl 61 + + The Chameleon 62 + + The Caterpillar 63 + + Dr. Drake 64 + + The Peacock 65 + + The Alligator 66 + + The Terrapin 67 + + The Dandelion 68 + + The Cud 69 + + The Mirror 70 + + Goslings 71 + + The Pet 72 + + The Guinea-Hen 73 + + The Moon 74 + + The Hen-Roost Man 75 + + A Guilty Conscience 76 + + The Bat 77 + + Incubator Chickens 78 + + The Firefly 79 + + The Thistle 80 + + The Gray Squirrel 81 + + Look Out for Mister Bee 82 + + The Rose 83 + + The Locomotive 84 + + The Goat 85 + + The Fig 86 + + The Frizzled Chicken 87 + + The Endless Song 88 + + The Eel 90 + + The Rain-Crow 91 + + The Giraffe 92 + + The Black Sheep 93 + + The Prize-Winner 94 + + The Dog 95 + + + + +DADDY DO-FUNNY'S WISDOM JINGLES + + + + +DADDY'S WEATHER PRAYER + + + One asks for sun, an' one for rain, + An' sometimes bofe together; + I prays for sunshine in my heart, + An' den forgits de weather. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE OLD ROOSTER + + + Ef de hoa'se ol' rooster wouldn't crow so loud + He mought pass for yo'ng in de barn-yard crowd; + But he strives so hard an' he steps so spry + Dat de pullets all winks whilst he marches by. + An' he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat-- + An' he ain't by 'isself in dat. + +[Illustration] + + + +THE BUTTERFLY + + + Sis' Butterfly aimed to work all right, + But 'er wings dey was heavy, an' 'er head too light; + So she riz in de air, 'ca'ze she see she was made + Jes' to fly in de sun in de beauty parade. + An' she ain't by 'erself in dat, in dat-- + An' she ain't by 'erself in dat. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE WREN + + + She's a citizen-bird, Sis little brown Wren, + She nests in de spring an' de fall again; + "Race suicide" talk nuver fazes her, + 'Ca'ze she's good for 'er ten little wrens a year. + An' she ain't by 'erself, my ladies, in dat-- + No, she ain't by 'erself in dat. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE WATERMELON + + + Oh, Watermilion sho' is good to eat!

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/19363.zip b/19363.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8db33ea --- /dev/null +++ b/19363.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
