In alarum, and dog, and detective;
At the Vestry he got excessively hot,
And descended to invective,—
Calling stories of plunder, mere editor's thunder
To make newspaper sales more active.

Instead of in lawful traffic?"
Then of danger to peace, from dogs and police,
He gave a picture graphic;
And on brotherly trust came out with a "bust"
