Itspcais for itself
Pm not gwine to preach Christ crucified to-
day, bnt other saints as are sheddin money and
tears, blood, and rifles for Kansas, I'm gwine in
on my naryes. | ain gwine to tell edzaetly whar
nv te 1t may he found; suffice il to say it is in
the goyment archives, and you'll find it some
where in the State Department. Ii you'll sarch
there carefully, you'll not only find my text
there but great many other texes as viii do
you good to read, an my tex, when yoJ shall
find ii, reads thus
IAN he lived on the calves Of six hundred
COWS, purchased with gov'mcnt money"
Nv tex bfeethcrn leads me 10 ask who he is
that lives on gov'ment critters that never cost
him a sheet of paper?
By readin the gov 'ment documents in Wash
iugton We are told explicitly who the little joker
Is. This is not interential my frcnS, its docy
llentary evidence 1t means edzactly Jest what
it SAYS; aud il says that a little hairy Canadian,
while working for the gov'ment out in Caliior
nia, bought lot Of cows for family use, and
made uncle sam pay for 'em. Its stubborn
fac my brethren and you may bow your heads
in sorror for tho extra fax. The money comes
out of your pockets as well as mine, for my tex
s-Z:
E'Anhe lives en- the calves of six hundred
cows, purchased with gov'ment money"
The question, whar did he come from, is a
mighty easier asked than answered. The po-
tentate-pope Of Rome declares that an immacu-
late conception took place, and soon afler that
bull had been set loose to gore the understand
ings Of sensible folks, this little joker gave his
first political Shrek for freedom. But the crit
ter was aroused kickin and crossin his legs, and
cuttin petdres on the rocks afore that. Some
folks say he was born in California, and some
say he was born in Georgia, and some say he
was bo1n in Canada, and some say he was born
in France; now where was the little Joker born?
Theirs no disputin my iTens the fac that he was
born amidst surroundin pine trees and savage =
gin- He was sickly lookin critter, but they
washed him, and dressed him, and parted his
hair in the middle, and let him run wid the cows,
for my tex sez:
AN he lives on the calves of six hundred
COWS, purchased with goF'ment money"
My freEs, you must be born agin Quit your
old associates who have made men Of you and
toiler in the footsteps Of the little kanuck. He
wonst went agin niggers and everathing else
that looked like the old Mr.. devil; and now
whaf, my beloved trens IS the little joker
Ill tell you my OFelneIIup. lie was DOfn u sec Z"
ond time in Filadelfy whar he was nursed by
Horace, baptsed in niggcrism by Thurlow and
doctored into FEASIBILITY by one or two book
worms who lie for gain and suppress for plumber,
for my tex sez:
"An he lives on the calves of six hundred
COWS, purchased with gov'mcnt money"
My frens, the way of the transgressor is as
hard as q brick Lat. The little kanicl is a
transgressor, but let mo tell you whatever may
be said agin him, no one can get up here and
say the little Frenchman don't believe in the
profits as set forth in the Treasury Depart
Inent. No, my frens, in that he's sound. For
my tex implicitly seq;
s"An he lives ON the calves Of six hundred
cows, purchased with gov'ment money"
And now my dear brethren, | approach a
part of the subject that makes the har gro "
straight, the limbs to tlemble and cold freeze
to crawl all over me. Are you married man!
Hey you darlin child that goes to a female
seminary? Ofeourse you heT. Ifa little hairy
kanuck should steal that darter away from YOU
in. the mite, what ask as father would yot
do9 Go and get brother Beechsr TO shute hin
with rife? Would youstop for fsEoIly pray
srs2 No. In course you wouldn't. You't
rip the hairy incendiary limb and limb. anc
tlmewthe prlsillanimous cuss IL the COW yard
for my tex seq: .a
AIN he lives on the calves of six hundret
cows, purchased with oYment money.
