 candle and candlestick on shelf — Deacon discovered

 Deacon. Well, my mind is kinder unsettled. Now 
 there's Tom, he's a good sensible lad, and I ain't got a 
 thing against him. And there's Dick Davis, he's a little 
 loud, but by gosh, he's got lot's of money. Yes, I guess 
 he'll make the best man for Sally. 
 
 Enter, Juba, d. f. , with wood. 
 
 I say Juba — 
 
 jiiba. {drops wood) Yes, I'se heah. 
 
 Dea. What did you drop' that wood there for? Pick 
 ii up. iydh) Do you hear me ! 
 
 Juba. {picking up wood) Spect I do.

 Dea. \'ou blasted fool, that's just the candle. 
 
 Juba. I know it. Ain't datwha' you sed you wanted? 
 
 Dei. Go and get the candlestick off the shelf, you 
 stupid fool. 
 
 Juba. {goes to shelf — aside) I'll be gol darned if I 
 f-ee any stick here. Well, I spects I'll have to go au'l 
 fine one. {starts for door 
 
 Dea. {looks around) Where you going, you black 
 
i, DEACON JONES' WIFE'S GEO ST. 
 
 rascal ? 
 
 Juba, Goin' out to git a stick off de woodpile. 
 
 Dea. Get a stick off the woodpile ? 
 
 Juba. Yah ! You said you wanted a stick for dat 
 candle, and I be blasted if I can find any on dis shelf. 
 
 Dea. {aside) The confounded idiot, {aloud) That's 
 it upon the shelf there. {jpoints to candlestick 
 
 Juba. Is dat what you call a candlestick y I thought 
 a stick was wood. 
 
 Dea. Now get a match and light it. 
 
 Juba. {gets match) Say, Massa, which end do you 
 light dis on ? {holds up candle stick 
 
 Dea. Bring that here. There ain't no use tryin' to 
 learn a nigger anything. (Deacon lights candle 
 
 Juba. Dar, by golly, I'se learned somethin'. 
 
 Dea. Now get to your work, (leans hack in chair 
 and smokes and reads) Now I'll enjoy myself. 
 
 Juba. {sneeze) By golly ! Whew ! If anybody should 
 come in heah, dey would call it a smoke house, {sweeps 
 
 Enter, Tom, d. p. 
 
 Tom. How are you this evening, Deacon V 
 
 Dea. Tolerable well, sir ! {smokes

 Dea. About as well as usual. {smokes 
 
 Tom. {moving near Deacon) Deacon, I've come over 
 chis evening, to speak to you on a very solemn — 
 
 Juba. {aside) I'll bet he'll make a preacher some day. 
 
 Dea. Anything concernin' the church, Tom? 
 
 Tom. No, not exactly. 
 
 Dea. {smokes) Let 'er go. 
 
 {takes up paper and rca 7- 
 
 Tom. Deacon, I've come down this evening to talk ': » 
 the, subject of marriage. 
 
 Dea. You ain't goin' to get married, are ye, Tom? 
 
 Tom. Well, I'm' talking some of it. 
 
 Dea. I think I'm a pretty good adviser. Tom, who 
 have you settled your affections onto? 
 
 Tcm. Well, Deacon, the truth of it is, I love your 
 daughter, and I know she loves me. 
 
 Juba. {aside) Yah,-dat's so, case I seed um huggin' 
 each odder, de odder day. {sweeps 
 
DEACON JONEB' WIFE'S GHOST. 6 
 
 Dea. T'wont do you any good to talk in that direction, 
 because I've got another feller picked out for Sally. 
 
 Tom. Does she agree to it ? 
 
 Dea. {hitUng table withjisi) By gum, she's got too! 
 I'm boss of this house. (Juba drops Iroom and rims to- 
 ward door) Here you black rascal, where are you goin'? 
 
 Juba. (stops) Jes' goin' to shut de door. 
 
 Tom. I suppose it's that Dick Davis you've got 
 picked out, ain't it ? 
 
 Dea. (reading paper) You've guessed it the first 
 time. 'Tain't because I've got anything against you, 
 Tom, but Dick's got lot's of money, an' that's the main 
 thing in this life, and he'll make Sally a good husband. 
 (looks at paper) Well, by gum! if here ain't the most 
 foolish thing I ever read. Why the idea ! They say 
 this house is haunted; That spirits roam around here. 
 
 Juba. Dat's a fac', dere's two barrels of 'em down 
 cellar. 
 
 Tom. (aside) Good! I have it. I will yet have the 
 old man's consent. (^^ Deacon) Well, I suppose there's 
 no use arguing with you any longer ? 
 
 Dea. No, I've made up my mind, that Dick will make 
 the best husband for Sally. 
 
 To7n. (rises and goes) Good night, Deacon. 
 
 (exit, C. D. 
 
 Dea. Good night. Well, Tom's a good hearted boy, 
 but Dick, lie's got the money. Yes, Dick shall have her. 
 
 Enter, Dick, c. d. 
 
 Dick, (to Juba) Hello ! you black heathen . (to 
 Deacon) Good evening, Deacon! 
 
 Juba. (aside) You miserable white niggah, I'll get 
 even wid you. 
 
 Dich. Deacon, what's that Tom Judkins prowlin' 
 around here for? I met him out in the woods. 
 
 Dea. Oh ! he just came over to ask me if he couldn't 
 have Sally. 
 
 Dick. And you told him — 
 
 Dea. (hits table with fist) No! (J vb a Jumps 
 
 Juba. (aside) By golly ! I like to lost my equillib- 
 rum, dat time. 
 
 Dick. You'r a sensible man, Deacon. How is it, 
 
S DEACON JONES' WIFE'S GHOST. 
 
 Deacon, I saw in this morning's paper, that this house waa 
 haunted. 
 
 Dea. Well, that's what the paper says. They say 
 that my first wife haunts this place, but it's darn queer 
 how she can. She was buried in a cashmere robe, in a 
 black walnut coffin, with silver handles and a fifty dollar 
 tombstone over her head. 
 
 DicJc. I'ts mighty queer, Deacon, but who's afraid ? 
 
 Dea. I ain't. If a ghost should come in that door 
 this minute, I'd — 
 
 Juba. Say, boss, I wish you would'nt talk on such 
 solemn subjects. 
 
 Dea. Here take this pipe and put it on the shelf. 
 {yells) Do you hear ! 
 
 Jiiha. {takes pijpe) I 'spect I do, I ain't de'f. 
 
 {puts pipe on shelf 
 
 Dea. Dick, how about a little cider ? 
 
 Dick. Well, Deacon, a little cider wouldn't go very 
 bad. 
 
 Dea. Juba, get a pitcher and go down cellar and draw 
 some cider. 
 
 Juba. {scared) Lawd bress you Massa, de cider's 
 nice as ebber was, an' Juba woulda't hab no disjectives 
 against a drink ob it, but dis chile wouldn't go down into 
 dat cellar at dis time of night, for all de cider in de world. 
 
 Dea. {laughs) Well, Dick, you're younger'n I am, 
 you take the candle and go down and draw the cider. 
 
 Dick, {getting nervous) Oh ! Deacon, I couldn't 
 think of taking such liberty. You go down and I'll keep 
 watch. 
 
 Juba. {comic business) By golly ! dis is gettin' putty 
 omniferous. 
 
 Dea. Fiddlesticks, Dick, we'll both go down. It needs 
 tv^o, one to hold the mug and the other to draw the cider. 
 
 Juba. An' annoder to hold de candle. 
 
 Dea. Juba, get the pitcher. (Juba gets pitcher] 
 Here we go. You go ahead, Dick 
 
 Dick. No, I'd rather not. I do not know the way. 
 
 Dea. O pshaw ! What's the use bein' afraid. AI 
 aboard. Juba, you bring the candle. 
 
 Juba. {gets candle) j'se got it. {get to door, r.

 chased by a ghost, {peeps out) , Oh ! 
 
 {drops out of sight 
 
 Diok. Don't take me ! It's the Deacon you want. 
 He's been a dreadful old reprobate. 
 
 Juba. (looks out) D^at's de trufe ! {drops down 
 
 Dich. I'm honest ! I belong to the church. 
 
 Juba. {looks out) So do I ! {drops back 
 
 Dick. And give five dollars to the minister, besides a 
 couple of pounds of butter Thanksgiving, {ghost groam,s 
 
 Ju^a. (looks out) Oh ! what a lookin' animal he is. 
 Oh! {drops back 
 
 Dea. Dick Davis is the very one you want ! Take 
 liim, dear good ghost. He cheated t^e widder Sprigins 
 m work. {groans 
 
 Juba, Dat's de trufe and I'll swear to it. 
 
 Dea. An' he sold sassingers made out of liver ! Spare 
 me ! I am an old gray headed man and can't last long. 
 
 Tom. {deep voice) Deacon Jones — 
 
 Juba, (looks out) Oh ! ain't dat solemn ? 
 
 [drops down 
 
 Tom. On one condition, you shall both go free. 
 
 Juba. (looking out) Me to ? {drops bade 
 
 Tom. None other! Promise both of you, what I re- 
 quire, or I'll drag you down to everlasting torment 
 
 Dea. Anything! anything! 
 
 Dick. I promise ! 
 
 Juba. {looks out) I'll promise right on top of de good 
 book! {drops down 
 
 Tom. Deacon Jones, Thomas Judkins loves our 
 daughter. 
 
 Jaba. {looking out) Don't you 'spose we knowed dat. 
 (Tom moves, Juba drops into barrel— looks out) By 
 golly, dat was a close call. {drops back 
 
 Tom. In separating them you sold your soul to the 
 
S DEACON JONES' WIFE S GHOST, , 
 
 devil ; consent to their marriage and I leave you forever. 
 
 Juba. By golly, I wish you'd hurry up, dis barrel's 
 gettin' mighty tired. 
 
 Tom. Refuse, and I give you over to satan. 
 
 Z>ea. I consent ! I do ! She shall marry him when- 
 ever she likes. 
 
 Juba. You hab my consent. 
 
 Dick. I give her up ! The widder Springins will 
 make the best house-keeper after all ! 
 
 Juba,. {lodhs out) Dat's what I alius sed. 
 
 Tom. {tJwows off disguise) Thank you, gentlemen. 
 
 Juba. ) 
 
 Dick, y Good Lord ! 
 
 Dea. ) 
 
 Dick, {rushes out) Tom Judkins, I've a good mind 
 
 thrash you for this. 
 
 Tom. You have the privilege, sir ! 
 
 Dick, (throws off coat) Well, here goes — 
 
 Dea. {rushes out) Dick Davis, youjes' put on your 
 coat, an' don't you dare touch Tom Judkins. 
 
 Juba. {comes from barrel) Don't you git scared, 
 Tom, kase, if dere's goin' to be any fightin', I want to hab 
 a han — or radder a head in it. Dis ole skull has stood 
 lots of hard cracks, and I reckon it's good fo' some more. 
 
 1 alius sed dat you ought to hab Sally, an' I say it yet. 
 Dea. Tom, I've changed my mind about that marrying 
 
 business. I had thought that I would have Sally marry 
 a man with lot's of money, but I've changed my mind, so 
 I guess I'll have her marry a man with lots of brains, an' 
 that man is you, Tom. 
 
 Tom. I am very much obliged to you, De-acon. 
 
 Dick. Well, as I sed afore, I think the widder 
 Sprinkins will make the best wife for me after all. 
 
 Tom. "Well, let's all shake on it.
