Aplumoless " Eagle Orator."
Whose tongue vas woundrous brave,
Chartered and smelled an Old bOquot
From Grandpa Gaiiford's grave " QI
And felons from the dungeon came,
And men Of bloody hands,
Pardoned from ignominous chains.
To Join King Isham's bands. 02)
And thus unto the motley crowd,
Which tlronged the spacious square,
The monarch from block begins
"sad tidlngs On the air
Abe Linoolns Anthropophsgi
Are marching dressed in blue,
To burn the town, defi0ur the maids,
And beat them black and blue"
Whereat an ancient virgin spake
Z" Oh King to save the State,
While you and othir heroes fight,
Pl-yied me to my fate
"To pixies cause III give what
Have kept from love and gold,
AUD thus with Celia shall vie,
Ard Deborah Of old"
King Isham raised his voice and wept
" Such grit never saw
My antQuated feminine,
Yoa've pebbles ia your orawl
But haste to Armageddon's shrine,
And bring the pro bet here;
My dream he'll read with skin divine,
And make It's meaning clear.
For he can scan the stars Alright,
Or look milestone through,
Or tell why iaybirds bob their tails,
Or sightless Kittens NEW.
"with wicked Cog aud Magog's blood,
He wrote our destiny,
And squared Almighty wisdom by
The Single Rule Of Three" (l3)
Up strodethe swarthy, wild-eyed seer,
With raven locks unkempt,
Like one who long in monkish cell
On fantasies had dreamt.
The prophet cried Old Daniels robe
Has dropped on me and Pitts
Tell us the darkest mystery.
And we can give it yfsr'
Then spoke the King " In dreams methought
saw an RWful sight
Two billy-goats, in mortal fray,
Kept buttng all the night
"UnyieldiDg still appeared the pluck
OF each heroic goat
Until (Mirabile y one buck
Jumped down the others throat
And still in this prodiglous dream,
The conqaeor was he
Who did come ont Lehind--not no
Who guIped his enemy /"
The prophet blew his nose, andspake:
Z" read this vision plain
Two mighty hosts shall meet in strife,
And myriads be slain.
The swallowed goat which oafle safe through,
To your great oonste nation,
Shows that through Buell's jaws you'll slip
BY an epacuaion.
Thus in the issue you ehal show
To wondering mankind,
This paradox-that lsham escapes
When he comes ow bebiRdP
Then Jesse, who with spirits talked,
Cried " Let US harmonize;
Pluck feathers from archsngsis' wings,
And mount the eternities.
And In a chariot Of Gre,
Wen ride the purple skies,
And hang our Southern cross upon
The Birds Of Paradisel" (l5)
Then, said tho King " Unto my mind
IT'S clear as MONDAY sun,
That, unto Baldwin's voice resigned,
now must cut and run.
Bameless lesve-you know, sweet friends
never sought for riches"
(Two millions Of the School Fund, then,
He carried IN his breeches)
Now, tipsy Isham, mhudIin soul,
Twelve whisky kegs hao found
And as sold rye" was getting scarce,
He hid 1t In the ground,
lie spa1e unto his contraband:
go cart my liquor here,
Likewise the archives OF She state,
In which my acts appear"
Peculiar institution said
You're aghi-oa noe, Oh King
For az your liquor fills the cart,
The archives ! can't bring.D
Then fetch the tanglefool, my boy,
For by the gods vow,
siuce rum and have been Old fritnda,
Wen stick together now p
While thus be spake, a lannon's crash
Startled 5owanee'a shore,
Telling unto The scattering crowd
OF strife, and are, and gore.
Then shrieked King lshhm " Let us dy
From man .devouriDg Buell. {"
loud goaned MoFerrin Now, ia give
My-Primer for Mu-elr' ll6)
70 see each reverend traitors grief
Had moved the stohiest heart;
Long Jesse on a ROzinante,
And Summers IN a cart.
Summers, who gave mankind the great
Confederate Almanac az
His legs were now In Canoer's 5ign,
And took DE backward rack
