New Ballad by Will Carleton.

The Deacon's Last Dance.

BROTHER, do you recollect, in some spiritual vacation,

Of the lively night we spent over in the "Heathen Nation"? (That was what our people called it, since it hadn't the same appearin' As a place that antedated it a dozen years in clearin').

[So said Ahab Adams, banker-owning holdings few could purchase, To his brother, leading pastor 'mongst a hundred city churches.]

Those hard times out in the wood-lots-how as boys we used to pass 'em! Not a person went ag'in us, but we had the words to sass 'em! 'Ceptin' Dad and Mother: Dad held within the voice ingredients That could close the dictionary on all words except obedience. And amongst the other orders this one through my memory glances: "Whatsoever else you do, don't you go to any dances!"

Sunday came-we 'tended church; learned once more that we was sinners;
Had a mother-meal at home-food enough for fifteen dinners;
Fed the horses, stalled the cattle, soothed small pains that shot across us,
An' went up to bed at nine, by the clock that helped to boss us.

Then I recollect you, brother-my! who now would ever think it!
Whispered, "Youth is full of syrup: let us go and help to drink it!"
Then we sneaked out of the window-still as chaos 'fore creation--
Startin' for an all-night dance-over in the "Heathen Nation."

Mercy! didn't it make a flutter, when the people saw appearin'

Four strong husky youthful Christians, come from Deacon Adams' clearin'!
Still those sinners-not disposed to wastin' time with small surprises,
Didn't let us interfere with the reg'lar exercises:

They rushed to us good an' hearty-not as brands plucked from the burnin'
But as Deacon Adams' pris'ners from cold storage now returnin'.

An' the fiddle-how thrilled us!-every kind of thought revealin':
Scoldin', cryin', grumblin', shoutin', whisp'rin', singin', warblin', squealin'-
Brother, have you any wonder, as we read those memory-pages,
That we fellers went to dancin' jest as if we danced for wages?

Was't a wonder that we shrunk, apprehensive mid the laughter,
When, at midnight, father rushed in-havin' followed slyly after?
Any wonder if the father, when he felt the animation

From the heads and hearts and heels of that risin' generation,
When he saw them wildly dancin' till the timbers seemed to totter,
Recollected youthful pastimes, when his blood was somewhat hotter?
'Special'y when a fair-faced girl, with a red head like a beacon,
Pranced up softly to him, saying, "Dance a hornpipe with me, Deacon?"

Is it any wonder that he threw all restraint aside, untethered,
An' let loose a hundr'd antics that for forty years he'd gathered?
Brother, don't you recollect how he whirled an' jumped an' twisted?
He showed them there people capers that they didn't know existed.
An' he murmured unto me, in the red-hot of the revel,
"David danced before the Lord-I will try it on the devil!"

Everybody on the job cheered our Dad like all creation:

He was soon the crackerjack of the whole dumbed Heathen Nation!

But remember our surprise, an' the laughs that jumped around us, When our dear old Mother entered-havin' missed an' chased an' found us!

But she al'ays had some fun layin' round with her religion:

[ocr errors]

An' her toes took wings forthwith, that would give points to a pigeon!
She eclipsed the red-head gal-took the cake without much bother,
Makin' folks around there love her-even more than they did father.
Well, I guess you'll hev to own it, that 'ere fast night was a sprinter!
And the sort of genial climate that you don't get every winter!

That was Dad's and Mom's last dancin': but they brewed such admiration,

That their influence never died in that wicked Heathen Nation:

An' you recollect, when Dad a revival there inserted,

More than half the folks around there, swung right in an' got converted. Then you says "In cornerin' sinners, do not feel too much above 'em.
