Demi Lovato Tickets
On the northeast corner of my vineyard in central North Carolina, and fronting on the Lumberton plank-road, there stood a small frame house, of the simplest construction. It was built of pine lumber, and contained but one room, to which one window gave light and one door admission. Its weather-beaten sides revealed a virgin innocence of paint. Against one end of the house, and occupying half its width, there stood a huge brick chimney: the crumbling mortar had left large cracks between the bricks; the bricks themselves had begun to scale off in large flakes, leaving the chimney sprinkled with unsightly blotches. These evidences of decay were but partially concealed by a creeping vine, which extended its slender branches hither and thither in an ambitious but futile attempt to cover the whole chimney. The wooden shutter, which had once protected the unglazed window, had fallen from its hinges, and lay rotting in the rank grass and jimson- weeds beneath. This building, I learned when I bought the place, had been used as a school-house for several years prior to the breaking out of the war, since which time it had remained unoccupied, save when some stray cow or vagrant hog had sought shelter within its walls from the chill rains and nipping winds of winter.One day my wife requested me to build her a new kitchen. The house erected by us, when we first came to live upon the vineyard, contained a very conveniently arranged kitchen; but for some occult reason my wife wanted a kitchen in the back yard, apart from the dwelling-house, after the usual Southern fashion. Of course I had to build it.To save expense, I decided to tear down the old school-house, and use the lumber, which was in a good state of preservation, in the construction of the new kitchen. Before demolishing the old house, however, I made an estimate of the amount of material contained in it, and found that I would have to buy several hundred feet of new lumber in order to build the new kitchen according to my wife's plan.One morning old Julius McAdoo, our colored coachman, harnessed the gray mare to the rockaway, and drove my wife and me over to the saw-mill from which I meant to order the new lumber. We drove down the long lane which led from our house to the plank-road; following the plank-road for about a mile, we turned into a road running through the forest and across the swamp to the sawmill beyond. Our carriage jolted over the half-rotted corduroy road which traversed the swamp, and then climbed the long hill leading to the saw-mill. When we reached the mill, the foreman had gone over to a neighboring farm-house, probably to smoke or gossip, and we were compelled to await his return before we could transact our business. We remained seated in the carriage, a few rods from the mill, and watched the leisurely movements of the mill-hands. We had not waited long before a huge pine log was placed in position, the machinery of the mill was set in motion, and the circular saw began to eat its way through the log, with a loud whirr which resounded throughout the vicinity of the mill. The sound rose and fell in a sort of rhythmic cadence, which, heard from where we sat, was not unpleasing, and not loud enough to prevent conversation. When the saw started on its second journey through the log, Julius observed, in a lugubrious tone, and with a perceptible shudder:?"No, Miss Annie," replied the old man, with emotion, "I ain' narvous; but dat saw, a-cuttin' en grindin' thoo dat stick er timber, en moanin', en groanin', en sweekin', kyars my 'memb'ance back ole times, en 'min's me er po' Sandy." The pathetic intonation with which he lengthened out the "po' Sandy" touched a responsive chord in our own hearts.""And who was poor Sandy?" asked my wife, who takes a deep interest in the stories of plantation life which she hears from the lips of the older colored people. Some of these stories are quaintly humorous; others wildly extravagant, revealing the Oriental cast of the negro's imagination; while others, poured freely into the sympathetic ear of a Northern-bred woman, disclose many a tragic incident of the darker side of slavery. "Sandy," said Julius, in reply to my wife's question, "was a w'at useter b'long ole Mars Marrabo McSwayne. Mars Marrabo's place wuz on de yuther side'n de swamp, right nex' yo' place. Sandy wuz a monst'us good , en could do so many things erbout a plantation, en alluz 'ten his wuk so well, dat w'en Mars Marrabo's chilluns growed up en married off, dey all un 'em wanted dey fer gin 'em Sandy fer a weddin' present. But Mars Marrabo knowed de res' wouldn' be satisfied ef he gin Sandy a'er one un 'em; so w'en dey wuz all done married, he fix it by 'lowin' one er his chilluns take Sandy fer a mont' er so, en den ernudder for a mont' er so, en so on dat erway tel dey had all had 'im de same lenk er time; en den dey would all take him roun' ag'in, 'cep'n oncet in a w'ile w'en Mars Marrabo would len' 'im some er his yuther kinfolks 'roun' de country, w'en dey wuz short er han's; tel bimeby it go so Sandy didn' hardly knowed whar he wuz gwine stay fum one week's een de yuther."One time w'en Sandy wuz lent out ez yushal, a spekilater come erlong wid a lot er s, en Mars Marrabo swap' Sandy's wife off fer a noo 'oman. W'en Sandy come back, Mars Marrabo gin 'im a dollar, en 'lowed he wuz monst'us sorry fer break up de fambly, but de spekilater had gin 'im big boot, en times wuz hard en money skase, en so he wuz bleedst make de trade. Sandy tuk on some 'bout losin' his wife, but he soon seed dey want no use cryin' ober spilt merlasses; en bein' ez he lacked de looks er de noo 'ooman, he tuk up wid her atter she b'n on de plantation a mont' er so."Sandy en his noo wife got on mighty well tergedder, en de s all 'mence' talk about how lovin' dey wuz. W'en Tenie wuz tuk sick oncet, Sandy useter set up all night wid 'er, en den go wuk in de mawnin' des lack he had his reg'lar sleep; en Tenie would 'a done anythin' in de worl' for her Sandy."Sandy en Tenie hadn' b'en libbin' tergedder fer mo' d'n two mont's befo' Mars Marrabo's old uncle, w'at libbed down in Robeson County, sent up fine out ef Mars Marrabo couldn' len' 'im er hire 'im a good han' fer a mont' er so. Sandy's marster wuz one er dese yer easy-gwine folks w'at wanter please eve'ybody, en he says yas, he could len' 'im Sandy. En Mars Marrabo tole Sandy fer git ready go down Robeson nex' day, fer stay a mont' er so."Hit wuz monst'us hard on Sandy fer take 'im 'way fum Tenie. Hit wuz so fur down Robeson dat he didn' hab no chance er comin' back see her tel de time wuz up; he wouldn' a' mine comin' ten er fifteen mile at night see Tenie, but Mars Marrabo's uncle's plantation wuz mo' d'n forty mile off. Sandy wuz mighty sad en cas' down atter w'at Mars Marrabo tole 'im, en he says Tenie, sezee:?"'I'm gittin monstus ti'ed er dish yer gwine roun' so much. Here I is lent Mars Jeems dis mont', en I got do so-en-so; en Mars Archie de nex' mont', en I got do so-en-so; den I got go Miss Jinnie's: en hit's Sandy dis en Sandy dat, en Sandy yer en Sandy dere, tel it 'pears me I ain' got no home, ner no marster, ner no mistiss, ner no nuffin'. I can't eben keep a wife: my yuther ole 'oman wuz sole away widout my gittin' a chance fer tell her good-by; en now I got go off en leab you, Tenie, en I dunno whe'r I'm eber gwine see yer ag'in er no. I wisht I wuz a tree, er a stump, er a rock, er sump'n w'at could stay on de plantation fer a w'ile.'"'I ain' goophered nobody, ner done no cunjuh-wuk fer fifteen yer er mo; en w'en I got religion I made up my mine I wouldn' wuk no mo' goopher. But dey is some things I doan b'lieve it's no sin fer do; en ef you doan wanter be sent roun' fum pillar pos', en ef you doan wanter go down Robeson, I kin fix things so yer won't haf . Ef you'll des say de word, I kin turn yer w'ateber yer wanter be, en yer kin stay right whar yer wanter, ez long ez yer mineter.'"Well, Sandy say dat'll do. En so Tenie tuk 'im down by de aidge er de swamp, not fur fum de quarters, en turnt 'im inter a big pine-tree, en 'im out mongs' some yuther trees. En de nex' mawnin', ez some er de fiel' han's wuz gwine long dere, dey seed a tree w'at dey didn' 'member er habbin' seed befo; it wuz monst'us quare, en dey wuz bleedst 'low dat dey hadn' 'membered right, er e'se one er de saplin's had be'n growin' monst'us fas'."W'en Mars Marrabo 'skiver' dat Sandy wuz gone, he 'lowed Sandy had runned away. He got de dogs out, but de las' place dey could track Sandy wuz de foot er dat pine-tree. En dere de dogs stood en barked, en bayed, en pawed at de tree, en tried climb up on it; en w'en dey wuz tuk roun' thoo de swamp look fer de scent, dey broke loose en made fer dat tree ag'in. It wuz de beatenis' thing de w'ite folks eber hearn of, en Mars Marrabo 'lowed dat Sandy must a' clim' up on de tree en jump' off on a mule er sump'n, en rid fur 'nuff fer spile de scent. Mars Marrabo wanted 'cuse some er de yuther s er heppin Sandy off, but dey all 'nied it de las'; en eve'ybody knowed Tenie too much by Sandy fer he'p 'im run away whar she couldn' nebber see 'im no mo'."W'en Sandy had be'n gone long 'nuff fer folks think he done got clean away, Tenie useter go down de woods at night en turn 'im back, en den dey'd slip up de cabin en set by de fire en talk. But dey ha' be monst'us keerful, er e'se somebody would a seed 'em, en dat would a spile de whole thing; so Tenie alluz turnt Sandy back in de mawnin' early, befo' anybody wuz a'stirrin'."But Sandy didn' git erlong widout his trials en tribberlations. One day a woodpecker come erlong en 'mence' peck at de tree; en de nex' time Sandy wuz turnt back he had a little roun' hole in his arm, des lack a sharp stick be'n stuck in it. Atter dat Tenie a sparrer-hawk fer watch de tree; en w'en de woodpecker come erlong nex' mawnin' fer finish his nes', he got gobble' up mos' fo' he stuck his bill in de bark. "Nudder time, Mars Marrabo sent a out in de woods fer chop tuppentime boxes. De man chop a box in dish yer tree, en hack' de bark up two er th'ee feet, fer let de tuppentime run. De nex' time Sandy wuz turnt back he had a big skyar on his lef' leg, des lack it be'n skunt; en it tuk Tenie nigh 'bout all night fer fix a mixtry kyo it up. Atter dat, Tenie a hawnet fer watch de tree; en w'en de come back ag'in fer cut ernudder box on de yuther side'n de tree, de hawnet stung 'im so hard dat de ax slip en cut his foot nigh 'bout off."W'en Tenie see so many things happenin' de tree, she 'cluded she'd ha' turn Sandy sump'n e'se; en atter studyin' de matter ober, en talkin' wid Sandy one ebenin', she made up her mine fer fix up a goopher mixtry w'at would turn herse'f en Sandy foxes, er sump'n, so dey could run away en go some'rs whar dey could be free en lib lack w'ite folks."But dey ain' no tellin' w'at's gwine happen in dis worl'. Tenie had got de night fer her en Sandy run away, w'en dat ve'y day one er Mars Marrabo's sons rid up de big house in his buggy, en say his wife wuz monst'us sick, en he want his mammy len' 'im a 'ooman fer nuss his wife. Tenie's mistiss say sen Tenie; she wuz a good nuss. Young mars wuz in a tarrible hurry fer git back home. Tenie wuz washin' at de big house dat day, en her mistiss say she should go right 'long wid her young marster. Tenie tried make some 'scuse fer git away en hide tel night, w'en she would have eve'ything fix' up fer her en Sandy; she say she wanter go her cabin fer git her bonnet. Her mistiss say it doan matter 'bout de bonnet; her head-hankcher wuz good 'nuff. Den Tenie say she wanter git her bes' frock; her mistiss say no, she doan need no mo' frock, en w'en dat one got dirty she could git a clean one whar she wuz gwine. So Tenie had git in de buggy en go 'long wid young Mars Dunkin his plantation, w'ich wuz mo' d'n twenty mile away; en dey want no chance er her seein' Sandy no mo' tel she come back home. De po' gal felt monst'us bad erbout de way things wuz gwine on, en she knowed Sandy mus' be a wond'rin' why she didn' come en turn 'im back no mo'."W'iles Tenie wuz away nussin' young Mars Dunkin's wife, Mars Marrabo tuk a notion fer buil' 'im a noo kitchen; en bein' ez he had lots er timber on his place, he begun look 'roun' fer a tree hab de lumber sawed out'n. En I dunno how it come to be so, but he happen fer hit on de ve'y tree w'at Sandy wuz turnt inter. Tenie wuz gone, en dey wa'n't nobody ner nuffin' fer watch de tree."De two men w'at cut de tree down say dey nebber had sech a time wid a tree befo': dey axes would glansh off, en didn' 'pear make no progress thoo de wood; en of all de creakin', en shakin', en wobblin' you eber see, dat tree done it w'en it commence' fall. It wuz de beatenis' thing!"W'en dey got de tree all trim' up, dey chain it up a timber waggin, en start fer de saw-mill. But dey had a hard time gittin' de log dere: fus' dey got stuck in de mud w'en dey wuz gwine crosst de swamp, en it wuz two er th'ee hours befo' dey could git out. W'en dey start' on ag'in, de chain kep' a-comin' loose, en dey had keep a-stoppin' en a-stoppin' fer hitch de log up ag'in. W'en dey commence' climb de hill de saw-mill, de log broke loose, en roll down de hill en in mongs' de trees, en hit tuk nigh 'bout half a day mo' git it haul' up de saw- mill."De nex' mawnin' atter de day de tree wuz haul' de saw-mill, Tenie come home. W'en she got back her cabin, de fus' thing she done wuz run down de woods en see how Sandy wuz gittin' on. W'en she seed de stump standin' dere, wid de sap runnin' out'n it, en de limbs layin' scattered roun', she nigh 'bout went out'n her mine. She run her cabin, en got her goopher mixtry, en den foller de track er de timber waggin de saw-mill. She knowed Sandy couldn' lib mo' d'n a minute er so ef she turn' him back, fer he wuz all chop' up so he'd a be'n bleedst die. But she wanted turn 'im back long ernuff fer 'splain 'im dat she hadn' went off a-purpose, en lef' 'im be chop' down en sawed up. She didn' want Sandy die wid no hard feelin's to'ds her."De han's at de saw-mill had des got de big log on de kerridge, en wuz startin' up de saw, w'en dey seed a 'oman runnin up de hill, all out er bref, cryin' en gwine on des lack she wuz plumb 'stracted. It wuz Tenie; she come right inter de mill, en th'owed herse'f on de log, right in front er de saw, a-hollerin' en cryin' her Sandy fergib her, en not think hard er her, fer it wa'n't no fault er hern. Den Tenie 'membered de tree didn' hab no years, en she wuz gittin' ready fer wuk her goopher mixtry so ez turn Sandy back, w'en de mill-hands kotch holt er her en tied her arms wid a rope, en fasten' her to one er de posts in de saw-mill; en den dey started de saw up ag'in, en cut de log up inter bo'ds en scantlin's right befo' her eyes. But it wuz mighty hard wuk; fer of all de sweekin', en moanin', en groanin', dat log done it w'iles de saw wuz a-cuttin' thoo it. De saw wuz one er dese yer ole-timey, up-en-down saws, en hit tuk longer dem days saw a log 'en it do now. Dey greased de saw, but dat didn' stop de fuss; hit kep' right on, tel finely dey got de log all sawed up."W'en de oberseah w'at run de saw-mill come fum brekfas', de han's up en tell him 'bout de crazy 'ooman?ez dey s'posed she wuz? w'at had come runnin' in de saw-mill, a-hollerin' en gwine on, en tried th'ow herse'f befo' de saw. En de oberseah sent two er th'ee er de han's fer take Tenie back her marster's plantation."Tenie 'peared be out'n her mine fer a long time, en her marster ha' lock her up in de smoke-'ouse tel she got ober her spells. Mars Marrabo wuz monst'us mad, en hit would a made yo' flesh crawl fer hear him cuss, caze he say de spekilater w'at he got Tenie fum had fooled 'im by wukkin' a crazy 'oman off on him. Wiles Tenie wuz lock up in de smoke-'ouse, Mars Marrabo tuk'n' haul de lumber fum de saw-mill, en put up his noo kitchen."W'en Tenie got quiet' down, so she could be 'lowed go 'roun' de plantation, she up'n tole her marster all erbout Sandy en de pine-tree; en w'en Mars Marrabo hearn it, he 'lowed she wuz de wuss 'stracted he eber hearn of. He didn' know w'at do wid Tenie: fus' he thought he'd put her in de po'-house; but finely, seein' ez she didn' do no harm nobody ner nuffin', but des went roun' moanin', en groanin', en shakin' her head, he 'cluded let her stay on de plantation en nuss de little chilluns w'en dey mammies wuz wuk in de cotton-fiel'."De noo kitchen Mars Marrabo buil' wuzn' much use, fer it hadn' be'n put up long befo' de s 'mence' notice quare things erbout it. Dey could hear sump'n moanin' en groanin' 'bout de kitchen in de night-time, en w'en de win' would blow dey could hear sump'n a-hollerin' en sweekin' lack hit wuz in great pain en sufferin'. En hit got so atter a w'ile dat hit wuz all Mars Marrabo's wife could do git a 'ooman stay in de kitchen in de daytime long ernuff do de cookin'; en dey wa'n't naer on de plantation w'at wouldn' rudder take forty dan go 'bout dat kitchen atter dark,?dat is, 'cep'n Tenie; she didn' pear mine de ha'nts. She useter slip 'roun' at night, en set on de kitchen steps, en lean up agin de do'-jamb, en run on herse'f wid some kine er foolishness w'at nobody couldn' make out; fer Mars Marrabo had th'eaten' sen' her off'n de plantation ef she say anything any er de yuther s 'bout de pine-tree. But somehow er nudder de s foun' out all 'bout it, en dey knowed de kitchen wuz ha'anted by Sandy's sperrit. En bimeby hit got so Mars Marrabo's wife herse'f wuz skeered go out in de yard atter dark."W'en it come dat, Mars Marrabo tuk 'n' to' de kitchen down, en use' de lumber fer buil' dat ole school-'ouse w'at youer talkin' 'bout pullin' down. De school-'ouse wuzn' use' 'cep'n' in de daytime, en on dark nights folks gwine 'long de road would hear quare soun's en see quare things. Po' ole Tenie useter go down dere at night, en wander 'roun' de school-'ouse; en de s all 'lowed she went fer talk wid Sandy's sperrit. En one winter mawnin', w'en one er de boys went school early fer start de fire, w'at should he fine but po' ole Tenie, layin' on de flo', stiff, en cole, en dead. Dere didn' 'pear be nuffin' pertickler de matter wid her,?she had des grieve' herse'f def fer her Sandy. Mars Marrabo didn' shed no tears. He thought Tenie wuz crazy, en dey wa'n't no tellin' w'at she mout do nex'; en dey ain' much room in dis worl' fer crazy w'ite folks, let 'lone a crazy .
