blhNIOH OF Llc KING,
XVI. And, 10, when all these things
were done according to the pleasure Of
Abraham the king, he again opened his
mouth and said, Now let us have one
more man Ia serve in our name, in the
interior of our kingdom and again he
sent forth into the West and found him
man after his own heart; and when he
had appointed him Minister Of the lnte-
rior, he .iouruoyed so far into the interior
that his name and his exploits have not
been heard Of, no, not even to this dav.
xvii And it came to pass in those days
that there was a mighty mourning among
the people that dwelt towards the South,
and they loudly demanded Of the king
that he should make known to them, and
to all the land, whether they were to he
treated as equals in the family of States,
or whether the religion of the wOolly
headed Dragon acd the Black Idol were
to be the law Of the land.
XVIII. Whcreupon tho king was filled
with exceeding dignity, insomuch that he
swelled up to four times the size that was
convenient to his skin. But he answered
not a word, neither would he condescend
to have any intercourse with the hea.hen
who worship white deities.
XIX. And when the land was full of
trouble, and the wise men were smitten
with dread. the mighty men of'tho nation
came together, from the North and from
the South, from the East and from the
West, and sat down in council together, as
was the custom in those days. But the
black tiend had taken possession of the
people that dwelt in the Northland so
that they could do nothing TO appease the
fiery anger Of the people that Inhabited
the region that lies to the south Of the
city that is called Washington.
NX. Now there were wise ard good men
in those days, who said, Let US 90 forth to
save our country, that the men of the
North and they of the South may still
dwell together in unity, for our fathers
were brethren.
XXI. And the wise men of the Sout h
stood up in the council! of the nation, and
said, We pray you let US settle this, our
trouble in peace. You men Of the North
take for Yourselves and your Black Idol,
all the land that lies to the west of the
line that is called after the old name Of
Missouri, that runneth even to the shores
Sd5f Sc RS Elf Irfs fake k9ef3 g G PPd oF hs R RG
main that lie'h to the south of that line !;
and we will dwell together as our fathers
did, buying and selling and being one Peo-
pie forever and ever.
XXI. These things did John, surnam-
ed Critender, a mighty man from the
Southland Of Kentucky, offer to the in
habltants Of the North, in the name of the
people Of the South.
XIII. But, 10, the warriors Of King
Abraham all stood up as one man, and
smote their breasts and tore out their hair,
add made such noise as time atTordeth not
to mention, swearing withall, that they
would have peace on no terms that did
not ensure the universal worship Of the
conely Black Idol,
XIV. And in those days came a man
out OF the T6nlJS, from the South, al d
snote the altars of the temple Of the Ma
ton with his fist. swearing that they OF
the North and they Of the South should be
two people forever.
XIV. And there followed after him q
crazy man, who was called WigtaH, because
he was often drunken, insomnch that he
lost the natural equilibrium of his body
and suffered the artificial covering oI
his Uranium to fall prone to tho ground
I lie, too, was full of wrath, and threatenet
to blow up tho king with a fire-cracker,
XXVI' But the greatest of the chiof'
of the South was the son OF Davis, wh'
was called Jeff, whose head the king COY
eted for he showed himself great in skill
to govern, and wonderful in the arts o
war
XVII. Insomuch that when the kint
sent forth the Pope to devour the host5 o
jeff, and to cat them up alive, according
TO the bulls he should publish agains
them, they neither feared nor did they
stand in awe, but came out in great iorc'
and caused the Pope to fee for his life :
and the place was thereafter called Bul
Run, by reson Of the marvellous fight o
the Pope.
I XVIII. And Abraham was discomroy
ted but, nothing daunted, he command
ed his fiery Dragon, which was callet
Burnside, to 80 forth and burn up the NJ
mics of the heather that worship whit,
deites, root and branch. And, behold
when the fiery Dragon, even the all-de'
troying Burnside, was come into thei
, country, lney thIeW great tHIhS VI wi
water upon him, iusomuch that they u
terly quenched him SO that he came bac
r like drowned chicken, and roasted j
n chamber in the palace of the king.
xxx. Now the king bethought hin
sell OF terrible and mighty angler anon
his warriors, which was called Hooker, b,
cause that he knew how to hook and hir
he sent forth, saying, Get thee over int
: tie land OF the heather, and put me
! hook into the noses of all the rebels, an
lead them hither unto me, that | may ki
, them every one, aud be avenged OF th
! wrongs they have done unto me. ..
! xxx. And when he had reached til
southmost bank OF the river that is calle
/ Chickahominy, the heather looked upo
- him and saw what manner Of man he wa
aud they laughed one to another; ard,
their evil oonceits, they sent forth an arm
Q of boots, that kicked the hindermost part
, Of the kings fighting angler, and dro'
1 his rear guard even into the trenches tn
Q lie before the gates of the temple OF Il
), Dragon.
