Thou knowest that he will swear, and lie, and steal, and do all sinful things. Thou knowest that on last Sabbath day he was seen walking down the principal street in tho village with his hands in his pockots, whistling the following ungodly tune" and here the congregation were astounded to hear "Yankee Doodle" How un melodious melo-dious ly froni the deacon'; pursed up lips. |
