IA !. ooDIvuded by bis Lord" This
cIoses bis labOfs for the week. This il
all "BUMzILLIKUM."
a che 6rst day Of the week, as has
become the fashion, he disrobes himself
Of all @nature's fair guise T. Selects for
that days apparel, the sacred cloth, and
draws on his false religious long face,
and with all the dignity of an English
CLERGYMAN, dirdaining to walk upon ma,
lures fair-facsd earth, he finds bimself
At the sacred desk, in the place that is
meant for prayer and SupPlicatiCn to the
most high God The children have be
come so accustomed to the place, thai it
seems a fathers blessing to meet there,
and hear him slug and pray, and then to
listen to bis words of Cody aamonition,
that they seem 10th to stay aWay-llt'
tie dreaming for a moment, thatthey are
listening 10 the noted and veritsble "P.
PLUMFULL," correspondent Of the Wa
leski Echo" He also joins In the
prayer meeting of the day, and other pub
iic worship. Has become quite proficient
in his manner Of address, and seeks to
encourage the good opinion of hs more
honest brethren, who have heretofore
suspected nothing but an honest, upright,
religious and cody man, and who would
have suspected any body else but he SUI
perintendant Of the Sabbath School Rs
being P. PIumfull. He isa "BLowER.'
The only thing tina. prompts me to say
anything in relation to the matter, is,
that / consider it q shame Upon the
church aud Sabbath School Of our Town,
and o disgrace upon the profession Of
religion, thSt one Of our bright lights in
the church should shed forth such dark
ness as is contained in P. Plumfulrs con-
iributions to the paper, aud giving a
graphic and glowing history Of the dog
fight, and especially his last Communica~
ton, showing his case Of your honor,
all because you have seen proper to menS
ton him in your history.
He would have shown much more Of !
christian spirit, and exhibited more o fthl
true religion of Our Great Redeamer, u
have let it passed unHoliced--ls it have
been ever 90 false. But here the great
MYSTERY is solved. The truth was out
and he had to manufacture something
scandalous in order to meet the TRUTH
In so doing, he has shown to the wOrH
that he is nothing but a whitsned sepuE
cherI AWOlf in Sleeps clothing, and
seeking whom to devour in order 70
please his "Lord 1"--the only Lord that
he has any reverence for, that is genuiDp
and true. The aotions Of just such meA,
are keeping thousands Of good men out
of the church, and away from good soci'
etyl The society Of the meek, the low.
ly, the humble, and cOntrite in spirit.-
They are looking into the church for a
light, and find for example q man an.
sWering 10 every PARTICULAR the above
description. They find the 3uEzsrd
Spirit ready to gulp down every thing
Of q foul nature. They find the Buzz
fua oovosine him and making him look
as neat, tidy, as the generality Of birds.
They find him Bumzillikum--that is,
be ia acute, adrOit, and good at deception.
Persons unaCquaiuted with him, would
take him for one Of the saints Of the
most high.
That be is a perfect Blower, every
person acquainted with him, knows il
It to bs a fact, and knows that P. Plum
full, who signs himself as Secretary Of
the Sporting Club, near tie / Moon, al
the Gas House, is the Selfsame Superin'
tendent Of our Sabbath School, and whom
I csnnot describe in any other manner
or give him o more appropriate name
than the BUzzARD BUzZ-FUz-B UMzILLI
KUN BLOWER Of the city Of Zaleski.
Perhaps his proper and christian NAM
may be more appropriate when I shsl
write again. But I hope that I ma.
never be- under the painful necessity Q
wiling again upon this subject, and ais
hope by this little hint, be will bege
within himself a spioit Of prayer an
leave this transitOry delusiOn t othe worl
where it belongs.
