who "sot up" to see the stars "shute," and
was disappointed. She was wilfully imposed
upon by a Professor" somebody-but hear

"He told me as how that on the 22d day
of the month the stars were gwoin to fall agin
like had hearn tell off, the time that some
folks thought the world was goin' to be sot
on fire. Well, stranger, counted the days,
and at last, according to the notches cut in
that door post thar, the 22d came. had sup
per uncommon late that night, and left the
coffee pot bilin', and some cold pork and greens
and corn pone sot by the fire, and determined
to set up and see The stars shu'e. 1t was sorter
coolish, but got under that shed SO that |
could give 'em fair chance; and sot, and I
sot, and smoked powerful deal, and then I'd
eat bit and take a sup Of coffee, and watch
agin; and kept it up till broad daylight, and
I didn't see a single one Of the blasted critters
