THE TEN PARSONS.

(The following adaptation of a familiar rhyme has appeared in all editions of this book and might be missed if omitted.)

Ten little preachers, preaching love divine,

One kissed the servant girl, then there were nine.

Nine little preachers, preaching sinners’ fate,

One took too much drink, then there were eight.

Eight little preachers, showing path to heaven,

One betrayed a brother’s wife, then there were seven.

Seven little preachers, barring Satan’s tricks,

One of them beat his wife, then there were six.

Six little preachers, preaching Christ alive,

One enticed a little girl, then there were five.

Five little preachers, preaching “Sin no more,”

One committed an assault, then there were four.

Four little preachers, pure as they could be,

One deflowered an eight-year-old, then there were three.

Three little preachers—pity they’re so few—

One killed his paramour, then there were two.

Two little preachers, to glorify the Son,

One whipped his child to death, then there was one.

One little preacher, in the fold alone,

He committed suicide, then there was none.
