the very essence of the act, for in matters
of that kind ''let not your right hand
know what the left hand doeth."
You talk of honor and of honors laws,
as if YOU had the code by note, and yet
will not hesitate to cheat your wasnwo-
man, wantonly wound nlgger's feelings
or seduce your friends wife or sister
Some of you creep into the church,
where by your snivelng whining hypo-
crisv YOU induce one half the well mean
ing but simple minded brothers and sisters
to believe you a saint You are very
pious in words, but generally manage to
hunt an excuse against charity that IS
likely to touch your purse. You roll your
eyes in holy horror at your wicked ne gh-
Dor and consign him to the hottest part OF
He'll, whilst by shrug of your shoG'dt
you blast the reputation OF some person,
too good to live in the same world with
such a moral carrion as yourself. Bah!
| can't bear you.
"There is a generation, o how lofty are
their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted
up" | have some of that stripe in my
eye now-women that fancy themselves,
what men flatteringy call them: Angels.
Ard taking advantage Of the gentleness
with which men treat their sex, on ac-
count of their weakness, turn and adder
like bite the hand that caresses them
Instead of studying at the domestic hearth
those qualities that adorn the woman
that make her the star of the social circle,
and the virtuous domestic wife that man
would die for, they lift up their crest OF
scorn and cut such pranks before high
Heaven, as makes the world blush tor
them.
Some of YOU are men seeking office at
the hands of your fellow man, not be-
cause you are fitted for place and power,
not because you are competent, not be-
cause you would honor the post, nor that
the people want you, but that you may
gormandse upon spoils tilched from the
public purse. Go on! the carnival of the
damned will have an end-a vicious peo-
pie will have a vicious government-reveI
in your might whilst you may, when the
people deserve better you will be laid
upon the shelf
'There is a generation whose teeth are
as swords and their jaw teeth as knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth and
the needy from among men," These are
the hardest crowd | have to deal with,
and if was not a man of great nerve |
should be afraid to face them. When
these fellows gouge it's certain death.
Their teeth are awful-the entire dental
school ought to combine against them.
It's out of their tusks that billiard balls
and tooth brush handles are made. One
of these fellows is fortune to Jack
knife factory. They have three rows of
teeth, two of which they use for salt fish
and the other is devoted exclusively to
buckwheat cakes It's no use trying to
reform the animal; the best thing the
brethren can do is to turn tail and make
as good time as possible the first glimpse
they catch of him. As to the sisters, their
best course is to bar the door on sight and
scream fire until some assistance comes
and they can faint conveniently.
Having delivered myself, to my entire
satisfaction, your Deacon will now retire;
but one week from to-day, provided new
ertheless, the Lord is willing and the
Chinese do not take the country, will
again minister to your speretual wants
L. GRIMVISAGE, Deacon.
