This man, rs we have said, calls himself q
clergyman. tie holds forth In pu'pita He
breaches, prays, and exhorts, draws down
his face, droops the corners OF his mouth,
and undertakes to look sanctimonious. And
yet he seems always trying In his pulpit dis
courses TO see under how thin disguise he
can venture to curse and swear and blas-
pheme. he cant offer up prayer In the
house OF GOD without telling the Lord what
an Internal scoundrei, damned thief, or cursed
vaga6ond, this, that or the other neighbor
Is. From his youth up to his old age, he
has had no personal controversies without
attacking the wives, fathers, mothers, grand
fathers, grand-mothers, brothers, sisters,
children, uncles, aunts, and nephews OF his
opponents. He has sought to strew his whole
path OF life with the dark wrecks Of wan
tonly-ruined regulations. He has never had
an hours happiness except In the unharpi-
ness OF others. lie has ever said to Evil,
''be thou my goodF' He has always
carefully jotted down all that he heard uu-
favorable to gentlemen while protesting TO
he their friend, 80 as to be ready for the day
of alienation. He howls venom, talks
venom, brea'hes venom, belches venom,
coughs venom, sneezes venom, splts venom,
