PREFACE.
Again it come to pass, in the fulness of time, that my companion, JosiahAllen, see me walk up and take my ink stand off of the manteltry piece,and carry it with a calm and majestick gait to the corner of the settin'room table devoted by me to literary pursuits. And he sez to me:
"What are you goin' to tackle now, Samantha?"
And sez I, with quite a good deal of dignity, "The Cause of EternalJustice, Josiah Allen."
"Anythin' else?" sez he, lookin' sort o' oneasy at me. (That manrealizes his shortcomin's, I believe, a good deal of the time, he duz.)
"Yes," sez I, "I lay out in petickuler to tackle the Meetin' House. Sheis in the wrong on't, and I want to set her right."
Josiah looked sort o' relieved like, but he sez out, in a kind of a pertway, es he set there a-shellin corn for the hens:
"A Meetin' House hadn't ort to be called she—it is a he."
