- Poor devil, there's something in that. We are right down sorry for you, but we -- well, hang it, we don't want the small-pox you see. Look here. I'll tell you what to do. Don't you try to land by yourself, or you'll smash everything to pieces. You float along down along 20 miles and you'll come to a town on the left-hand side of the river. It will be long after sunup, then, and when you ask for help, you telll them your folks are all down with chills and fever. Don't be a fool again, and let people guess what is the matter. Not we're trying to do you a kindness; so you just put 20 miles between us, that's a good boy. It wouldn't do any good to land yonder where the light is -- it's only a wood-yard. Say -- I reckon your father's poor, and I'm bound to say he's in pretty hard luck. Here-- I'll put a 20 dollar gold piece on this board, and you get in when it floats by. I feel mighty mean to leave you, but my kingdom! It won't do to fool with small-pox, dont you see?

- Good-bye, sir, I won't let no runaway n------ get by me if I can help it.
- Hold on, Parker, here's a 20 to put on the board for me. Good-bye, boy, you do as Mr. Parker told you, and you'll be all right.
- That's so, my boy -- good-bye, bood-bye. If you see any runaway n------, you get help and nab them, and you can make some money by it.

- They went off, and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and low, because I knowed very well I had done wrong, and I see it warn't no use for me me to try to learn to do right; a body that don't get started right when he's little, ain't got now show--when the pinch comes there ain't bothering to back him up and keep him to his work, and so he gets beat. Then I though a minute, and says to myself, hold on-- s'pose you'd a done right a give Jim up; would you felt better than what you do now? No, says I, I'd feel bad -- I'd feel just the same way I do now. Well, the, says I, what's the use you learning to do right, when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same? I was stuck I couldn't answer than. So I reckoned I wouldn't bother no more about it, but after this always do whichever come handiest at the time.
