A appeal for Are to the Sextant Of
the old Brick Meet1nouse.
BY A eAsPEn.
0 sextant Of the mcetinouse, wich sweeps
And dusts, or is supposed too and make fires,
And lites the gass, and sumtimes leaves screw
loose,
in which case it smells orful,-worse than lam
pile;
And wrings the Bel and toles it when men dyes
to the grief of survivin pardners, and sweeps
pathes;
And for the services gifts 500 per aiinum.
wch them that thinks DEER let EN- try it:
Getin UP before star lite In all weathers and
Kindlin fires when the weather is as cold
As zero, aud like as not grsan wood for kndlers !
wouldn't be hired to do it for no some
But Sextant there are kermodty
wich's more than gold, wich don't cost nothin,
Worth more than anything exsep the Sole of
mean power Are, stxtant, mean pswer Are
Oit is plean:y out dores, SO ploanty 1t doant no
What on airth to dew with itself, but fys about
Scatterin leaves and bloin Of mems hats;
in short, it's Jest " fire. as are" cut dores,
But o sextant, in our church its scarce as piety,
scarce as bank bills wen agints beg for mi,chuns
wich some say is purity orfen tiaint nothin 10 me
Wat givo aint nothin to nobody but sextant,
shet 500 men, wimmen and children
Speshay the latter, up in tte place,
Some has bad breths, none aint . swete,
Some Is fevery, .ome lie scronus, soma hss bad
teath,
And some halnt none and some aint over clean /:
But every on EN- brssthes In &c out and out and
in,
Say &c times mint, or million and half
breths an our,
Now how long will a chnrch full of are last AT
that rate,
ask YOU, say 15 nnts, and then waits TO be did?
Why then they must brethe it all over agin
And then agiu, aud so on, till each has took 1t
down,
At least 10 timss, and iss it up sgin, and wat.
moro,
The individible don: have the the prvelidge
Of brethen his own are and no one else;
Each one mus take watever comes to him.
o sextsnt, doant. you no our lungs is bellusses,
To bio the fer of lie, and keep it from
goin out and how can bellusses bio without
wind,
And aint are? put it to your couschens.
Arc ia the same TO us as milk to babies,
Or water is to fish, or pendluns to clox-
Or roots & airbs unto an injun Doctor,
Or little pills unto an omepsth,
Or boys to gurls. Are is for us to brethe,
Wat signifies who preeches If cant breethe?
Waits Pol2 Watts Pollus2 to sinners who are dod?
Ded for want Of breth why sextant, when we
dye
Its only coz we cant brethe no more-thats all.
And now, o sextsnt, let me beg you
2 let a little are into our church,
(Pewer are is sertin proper for the pews)
And do it weak days and Sundays tew-
1t aint much :rou5le-only makes hole
And the are will come in of itself;
! 1T uvs to cum in where it can get warm y
And how it will rouze the people up
And sperrt up the preacher, and stop garps.
And yawns ard iggits as effeotooal
As wind on the dry Boans the Profit tells of.
