Larkin went to church one Sunday while
n. Taunton, and parson Whitney was exer-
cising his gifts, which were few and small.
His sermons were noted for their great
length, and very little depth; for their
want Of thought, and the preachers want
of energy so often-times seemed as If he
would come to the END, if he had but spirits
enough to bring himself to stand still.
Larkin walked up the aisle and took his
seat about midway. He listened longer
than could have been expected Of such a
restless mind as his, while firstly, secondly,
thirdly, ,fourthly and soon to the seventhly,
were severally announced and expatiated
on; and then exclaimed the minister,
"rhut shall 1 soy mare p
"For mercy's sake" cried out Larkin,

SAY AMEN .-Larkin Moore was a half
crazy, wandering, lazy fellow, who used to
amuse the people in and about Newbury-
port with his eccentriciiies and music, for
Larkin had host Of old songs hymns and
snatches of melody, which he rendered, in
q plaintive voice, to familiar airs: and en-
tertaining crowds would gather around him.
Many of these songs needed only to be
clothed in better words, and they would
take their places among the verses that men
"would not willingly let die" For exam
pie, one Of Larkin's songs caught the ear
of true poet, who dressed it up, and it
