The following, together with the well

and Strings" is published in England as
a vefitable specimen Of the palpit ofatery
of the backwoods ofthe United States.

what preached the sarmon which has
been printed in the papers, from the tex
"And he played on harp w. a thousand
nv just men made
perfeck." I mout as we'll say don't,
take pride in things Nv that sort, foF in
the language of my tex for tn day-Pm
an orful sinner, the chief among ten thou

Them is the words which you'll find in
Genesee. I'm going to preach, without
notes, kase can't write, and kase I

chief among ten thousand, and the one al

.'This tex. my breethring, can be diyi-
ded into three pieces-fust- second
third. Fust I'm an orful sinner. That
means you individually. not me parson

second. Chief among thou

: Thar's the mischief, the chief of sinners

means the Old Boy, what keeps the fir
