The piece opens with a dense roster of place names and personal names across multiple townships and boroughs, followed by a lengthy moralistic critique.

A minister recalls two late 19th century incidents with disruptive animals during sermons. First a dog interrupts a Sabbath service, is removed by an officer, then returns to confront the minister, prompting anxious laughter from the congregation.
