i Takin for q text the passage ''the
wages NV sin is death," opened out ez
follows:
Wat is SIM Sin, my beloved hearers,
is any deviation from your normal con-
dishen. Yoor beloved pastor hez O
stumick and a head, which is in close
/ sympathy with each other, 30 much so,
indeed, that the principal bizines of the
head is 10 fill the stumick, and mighty
close work you bet. Let yoor beloved
! paster drink nv mite a quart or two
more than yoosual allowance, more than
his stumick absolootely demands, and
his head sweIls with indignashen. The
excess is sin, and the ache is the PEN
ally. IA -, ,..l
THE wagis NV sin is death. Punish
ment and sin is ez unseparabie ez the
shadder is from the man--one is ez
shoor to foller the other ez the assessor

"Trooly," says he, "the wagis of sin
is deth." I hey alluz bin Dimocrat.
The old Democracy ,hez bin the service
nv sin for thirty years, and the assert
ment NV deth it hez received for wages
ia trooly surprizin. Never did party
commence better.-Jaxon wuz honist

Of that style we had, and SO many dis
honist cusses wnz then in the Capital
that his ghost coodent watch the half nv
them.
The fust installment nv deth we re-
seved wuz when Harrison beet Us. The
old pollytishens in our party didn't
mind it--for, SEE they, "The Treasury
woodent hev bin with much to us emmy
how after the suckin it has experienced |
for II years--it needs years nv rest"
We selected Poke, and here it wus that |
Sin got complete hold Nv us. Anshent
compacts made with the devil wuz alluz
ritten in blue. We made contract with
the Calhoonisms, and that was ritten in
blud witch wuz shed in Mexico. Here
we sold ourselves out, boots and britches
to the cotton Dimocrisy; and don't our
histry ever, sence prove the trooth Nv the
text, "The wages nv sin is deth." o,
my friends, in wat hevy installments and |
how regularly hez these wages bin pade |

Our men nv character commenst |
leavin u.s. Sifas Wright kicked out and
wood hev gone over agin us, he'd he not
fortunately died too soon, and skores Nv |
others followed SCOT Things went on |
until PeerBe wuz elected. The Devil |
(Which is cotton) whom we wuz servin, |
brought Kansas into the ring, and wat a |
skatterin ensooed.
Agin, the man nv character got out, !
and gradually but shoorly the work nv
deth went on. Bookannon wuz elected,
but wuz nv no yoose to us. After Peerse |
had run the machine four yeers, wat |
wuz there left2 Eko ansers. Anuther |
siftin follered, and the old party wich /
wunst boosted a Jaxon, he'd got down to /
Vallandigum. The Devil to witch we /
he'd sold ourselves, wood not let US off /
with this, however. aThe wages OF sin |
is deth," and we he'd not reserved full |
pay ez yet. He instigated South Kerli- |
ny to rebel--he indoosed the other |
Democratic States to foller, he forced |
the Northern Demoorisy to support EN-,
and 80 on That wuz the final stroke. |
Dickinson and Cass, and Dix and Todd,
Logan, ell left us, and wun by wun the |

OH how troo il is We served sin |
faithfully and where are we? We went |
10 war for slavery and slavery 10 dead. /
We fit for confederacy and the confed- |
eracy is dead. We fit for States Rites
and States Rites is dead. And Democ~
risy tied herselfto all these corpres, and
they hev stunk her to deth.
Kentucky went heavy into the sin biz

our men to the confedrit army, and none

who comprize all nv that class which we
wood hev bin glad to hev killed. Lin

and be compensated for EN-. We held
on to the sin NV niggers, and now they
are taken from US with nary a compen-

armies as they cavorted backerds and
forreds through the Staff, my house and
barn wuz burnt, and all IJhev to show

which is a very dead article NV death.
