On Some Ministers.

The worst o’ \these here shepherds is, my boy, that they reg'larly turns the heads of all the young ladles about here. Lord bless their littlehearts, they think it’s all right, and don’t know no better; but they’re thewlctims o’ gammon, Samlvel, they’rethe wlctims o’ gammon. Nothin’ else, and wot aggragates me, Samivel, is. to see ’em awastln’ all their time and. labor in making clothes for copper-col-ored people as don’t want ’em and taking no notice of flesh-colored Christians as do. If I’d my way, Samlvel,.. I’d just stick some of these here lazy shepherds behind a heavy wheelbarrow, and run 'em up' apd down a 14-ln<?h plank all day. That ’ud shakethe nonsense out of ’em, if anythin’ vould.—Mr. Weller, Quoted by CharlesDickens.
