Show THJB SCAXDAIvMOXGER One of our exchanges fairly boils jover in speaking of the seandalmong- er, as follows : "After God had finished making the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, He had some awful substance sub-stance left with which he made the scandalmonger. A scandalmonger is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew cork-screw soul, a water-sogged brain and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where other men have their hearts he carries a tumor of decayed principles. When the scandalmonger comes down the street honest men turn their backs, the angels weep tears in heaven and the devel shuts the gates of hell to keep him out." |
