Give up ever' nickel he's worth — And, ef you'd a-wanted it, and named it to him, and it was his, He'd a-give you the earth !
Alius a-reachin' out, Jim was, and a-he'ppin' some Pore feller onto his feet — He'd a-never a-keered how hungry he was hisse'f, So's the feller got somepin' to eat !
Didn't make no differ'nce at all to him how he was dressed.
He ust to say to me, — "You togg out a tramp purty comfortable in winter- time, a-huntin' a job, And he'll git along !" says he.
ii8 JIM Jim didn't... have, ner never could git ahead, so overly much O' this world's goods at a time. — 'Fore now I've saw him, more'n onc't, lend a dollar, and haf to, more'n like, Turn round and borry a dime!
Mebby laugh and joke about it hisse'f fer a while^ then jerk his coat, And kindo' square his chin, Tie on his apern, and squat hisse'f on his old shoe- bench.
And go to peggin' ag'in! -i?r', Patientest feller, too, I reckon, 'at ever jes natchurly Coughed hisse'f to death!
Long enough after his voice was lost he'd laugh in a whisper and say He could git ever'thing but his breath — "You fellers," he'd sorto' twinkle his eyes and say, "Is a-pilin' onto me A mighty big debt fer that-air little weak-chested ghost o' mine to pack Through all Eternity!" 121 JIM Now there was a man 'at jes 'peared-like, to me, 'At ortn't a-never a-died !
