THE LAZY .YANKEE,
How Our Indolent Northern Friends Manage to Get Their Work
Done Without Much Strain on Themselves—The Ingenuity of
Lazy Folks.
By Rev. Geo. W. Lay.
I LIVED for a great many years
in New England, and I always
used to tell my friends up there
that the Yankee was the laziest man
on earth. My argument to prove this
proposition was somewhat as follows:
The Yankee hates werk. He always
gets a machine or a horse to do every
thing possible that can save him from
doing unnecessary work, and he will
always devise an easy way of doing
things if he can to avoid a hard way
of doing it.
When I lived in Maryland the most
of the hauling was done in a one
horse cart with two wheels. There
was no seat, and when the cart was
empty and the driver let the horse
or mule trot, he would have to stand
up in the middle of it with his knees
bent, in order to have a little give,
somewhere at least, against the tre
mendous jolt that he got. For this
reason one could recognize the coun
try boy in town because he couldn’t
walk as ordinary people do, but walk
ed with his knees bent and shuffling
his feet along the ground. How, in
New England you practically never
see a one-horse cart, except where
contractors are hauling dirt from an
excavation. The cart universally
used up there has four wheels. On
the hind wheels is a large heavy
body, which can contain two tons or
more of coal, for example. This has
a tongue that goes to the front axle,
enabling the front wheel to turn
around almost at right angles to the
body of the cart, thus giving an easy
turn. On top of the front wheels is a
box in which the driver can keep his
rubber boots, or rubber coat, or any
thing else that he needs, when caught
away from home in the rain or in
bad weather. On top of this box is
a nice arm chair, and in the arm
chair are some coil springs, and on
top of the coil springs a very com
fortable cushion. The driver sits
there in a lazy fashion, having a
good easy time and letting the horses
do the work. Of course, he always
drives two horses.
me lanaee round mat in scrus
bing the floor bis wife had to get
down on her knees, and put her hand
in a bucket of cold water, the result
being m«ch backache, and also, red,
rough, disagreeable hands. With his
natural and inborn laziness he Imme
diately devised a machine by which
one could put the mop at the end ol
a stick and have an arrangement on
the bucket to squeeze out the mop
without stooping down, so that the
scrubbing of the floor can now be
done with very little labor. Thie
again shows their inborn desire tc
avoid labor, which is one of the greal
blessings of man. In fact, as one
looks around and finds these devices
for lessening labor, I think it will
be discovered that in almost ever>
case they were invented by the lazj
Yankee, who wished to avoid worlt
entirely, if possible, and put it off or
horses and machinery, and if he coulc
not avoid it entirely, at least to make
it extremely easy.
The Yankee even puts a comfort
able seat on his plows and cultivators
He goes so far as to cultivate twr
or three rows at a time. What a pitj
it is that he does not follow the man
ly fashion of walking after a singh
horse and sharing thiB healthy laboi
, with him. His lazy method fails t<
develop his muscles and may event
ually lead to indigestion, feeble men
i tality and an early death.
\ If one believes in the nobility o
work should he not pity those whi
. try to avoid it so industriously, ant
to make everything so easy that it
hardly seems like work?
If one believes in the nobility of
labor, is it not logical to decide to
give as much work as possible to
men, and not turn over work to the
ignoble herse, or the lowly mule.
Surely one’s heart must be filled with
pride at knowing that in one of our
counties where they own a road ma
chine they do not use it because, if
they do, it gives work to fewer men.
The great object in life, of course,
should be to make men work as hard
as possible, and not put off labor
upon machinery or mules. This en
courages industrious habits, and ele
vates the condition of mankind.
Some of my friends tell me I
should never try to be humorous be
cause I den't know how, and that I
am also unable to appreciate any
thing funny from other people. Per
haps, therefore, I had better add that
the above is not to be taken with
absolute seriousness, and that there
may be reasons, on the other hand,
why we should cultivate the above
described brand of Yankee laziness.
