RECOLLECTIONS OF GEORGE CARTER. 67 



Will yon be clerk ? " The old man looked np, and, 

 after a moment, answered, 



" Well, sir, now you know I would do most things 

 for you, but I can't be clerk, as I fear I might make a 

 mistake in church, and sometimes come out Who-whoop ! 

 when it ought to be Amen."
