[Original.]
In the autumn of 1859, a few weeks
before Thanksgiving day, in an aristo
cratic town of the blue grass region,
Kentucky, a traveling minister? they
called them colporteurs? called at the
house of Hunter Jackson, a promineut
citizen, and said he would like to do
some work In saving souls in the neigh
borhood. He gave his name as Ed
ward Sherretts. So agreeably im
pressed was Sir. Jackson with the rev
erend gentleman's appearance that,
with southern hospitality, he Invited
him to spend what time he remained
In the neighborhood at his house. Mr.
Sherretts accepted the Invitation and
soon won further good opinion from
his host by his sympathy with the
south on the slavery question.
The long autumn evenings were spent
by Mr. Jackson and his friends at the
national game of poker. At first Mr.
Sherretts at such times withdrew to
the library with his theological books.
Then he remained by the table and
watched the game, occasionally asking
a ^question as to the relative value of
cards, hands and other information
pertaining to the game. He manifested
so much Interest and It was so unso
ciable without him at the table that It
was proposed to play one evening with
out any stake In order that he might
take a hand. He objected on account
of his calling, but on being urged con
sented.
Notwithstanding his many blunders
he became so absorbed In the game
that when one of the party said, "This
Is nothing compared to a game in which
there is a stake." and another suggested
that they make a stake of a penny with
a five cent limit just to show the rev
erend gentleman how interesting It
was. Mr. Sherretts, after much per
suasion. consented.
At 2 o'clock In the morning the party
broke up. after having played for a
dollar stake with no limit and Mr.
Sherretts had lost KiOO. His host in
sisted on making it good to him. but he
peremptorily declined, declaring that
he would stand the loss himself.
Then the matter was discussed by
all the players, and it was decided to
Induce, if possible, the clergyman to
play one more game, durlug which they
would permit him to win back his mon
ey.
Mr. Sherretts, who seemed to have
been mastered by a passion for Ram
bling, yielded, with tears in his eyes
at his weakness. lie held very poor
hands, but the gentlemen contrived to
have him win all but $23 of his losings,
when there was a jack pot involving a
Jarge sum and every one forgot every
Interest but his own. When the hands
were laid down there was everything
from three of a kind to a royal flush,
which was held by Mr. Sherretts.
When they told him that his was the
largest hand he nearly fainted and de
clined to take the pile of bills tfcoy
passed over to him. But Kentucky
gentleman would permit this, and at
Jas{ the winner consented only on con
dition that he be. allowed to give them
a chance to win it all back From this
time forward the game ran heavy.
??**?*?
It was the night before Thanksglv
If^. In a little farmhouse in Ohio a
negro sat brooding over the coals on
the rnde hearth. He had not been long
used to the celebration of Thanksgiv
ing day because he had been a slave in
the south, where nothing of New Eng
land origin was, at least at that time,
acceptable, but his neighbors had been
preparing to celebrate, and he was
thinking of his wife and two little pick
aninnies, slaves in the land of Dixie.
He had worked extra hoars and had
thus earned the money with whi?h to
buy himself. He was now working
hard to earn the money to buy his wife
and children. On the morrow, when
others were united in family groups, he
would sit at his table alone still far
from the day when he could have his
awn with him
To make matters worse he had a
few weeks before Intrusted a stranger
with the few hundred dollars he had
saved on the man's representation that
he would put more with It and secure
the freedom of his family. He had
never heard of the to an since and had
UO doubt that his money had been lost
to him. His neighbors pitied the sim
ple credulity of one born In slavery.
There was a footstep without the
door opened and in walked the man
who had obtained the poor negro's
money, as he considered it, under false
pretenses.
"Hello. Jeff!" said the man.
"To' git out o' hyer!" exclaimed the
ex-slave. "I know wha' yo' want; ytf
want mo' money. I hain't got no mo',
to' tuk It all."
"Jeff," said the man kindly, laying
Mm hand on the negro's arm, "I don't
blame you for mistrusting me, but
you're mistaken. I'm really what I
pretended to be, an agent of the under
ground railroad company, to run slaves
north, only this time I've worked a
plan of my own. I told you I had
served my apprenticeship In "bleeding
Kansas," didn't I? Well, I was a bor
der man long enough to learn some
things. I learned how to shoot first
and to shuffle cards. But In time too
many secessionists wanted my life, and
I came here to rest. One of the under
ground society proposed that I should
help you, and I've done It Tour wife
and boys are at the 'station' In care of
the ladles. I won all three of them at
the national game. Don't tell any of
the railroad folks. They might not
like It but I played It on them as a
parson."
In ten minutes Je?T embraced hie
wife and children, and the next day
they took their first Thanksgiving din
ner In freedom.
