Mose was his name, and not long since I concluded to pay him a visit and to hear’again the songs I had so enjoyed when a child. I found his cabin and he was at home, being unable to get about much. I shook hands with the honest old negro and sat down. The light which came into his face showed how welcome I was, and we had a long talk.

Finally I asked him to take the dusty banjo from the wall and give me a few strains of ‘‘Nigger Foot In Ashes’’ at a lively clip. He did as I asked, and the old time vigor came upon him again. After playing awhile I asked him to sing me the corn shucking song the ‘‘niggers’’ used to sing while they danced the ‘‘rabbit dance,’’ after the corn was all husked and the white folks had gone to bed. He was in fine spirits, and, with his head way back on his chair and his feet extended to keep time with the banjo, he sang:

‘Early one mornin on my massa’s farm—

Cat dat pigeon wing, Lizy Jane!— iI heard dem chickens a-givin de alarm. Shake yo’ feet, Miss Lizy Jane! Shake yo’ feet, niggers; it’ll soon be day. Shoot along lively, Miss Lizy Jane! Massa ketch us dancin, there’!1 —— to pay! We got to dig taters and hoe dat corn. Hit dat dubble shuffie, Lizy Jane! You’d better be a-humpin, coz it scon be morn. Ehake dat balmoral, Lizy Jane!"’

After Mose finished singing this song an eight inch grin played across his face from ear to ear, his eyes sparkled and the old negro was happy avain as if the

Cum a rop-strop-bottle, Mr. Kimble!

“Beefsteak, ham and mutton chop— Cum a rop-strop-bottle, Mr. Kimblel= Make a nigger’s lips go flippity-flop. Cum a rop-strop-bottle, Mr. Kimble!’’ And after each verse he sang the cho- rus: ‘*Keemo, kimo, kilgo, kayro, Fleero, fliro, flavoray! Rop-strop eriwinkle, little yaller booger] Cum a rop-strop-bottle, Mr. Kimble!”’ Though age had left its telling mark on the person of Mose, his rich voice was as clear as a bell, and the minstrel of today cannot equal it for genuine melody. I was not anxious to leave him, but the day was far spent, and I had several miles to go, so I bade him goodby and left the faithful did servant with tears streaming down his husky face. He laid his rough hands on my head and blessed me, saying, ‘‘Massa Will, I'll soon be over dere in de land ob Canyan, but I’ll remember dis visit to my dyin day.’’—Louisville Courier- Journal.
