story which think has never yet been published She
think them worthy place in the Crisis, you will pie
re- them an insertion:
Come gentle muse and touch a strain,
Twill eche back the sound again
On scenes that passd we Eow must dwell,
When old John Brown arrived in He'll.
When Pluto heard old Brown was hung,
Old Fophet with Hosannss rupg;
For we'll they knew the lying thief
Would make for them an honored chief.
Brown to receive they prepare,
All eager in the joy to share
Old Raian from his throne cane down
And left his seat for old John Brown.
Nothing, indeed, for him they wait,
For soon he thunder'd at the gate
~ ONE in say 8 Pluto, "Qackly come,
You're welcome to your fiery home.'
Three cheers rond forth in accents brief
To hail the Abolition chief
% Old John chimd in, and thank the Fates--
He'd safe y passed the pearly gates.
While Arnold held him by the hand
Old sataD took the Speakers stand
50 Silence" cried he, " Now all sit down,
And hear me welcome brother Brown"
"You're welcome John, to your reward,
You've cheated Riddle and the Lord
Though pear.y gates wide open few,
They did not catch my servant true.
AZ oft you've murdered, lied and stole,
1t did rejoice my burning soul,
You'v run your length in earth's career,
And we are pleased to see you here.
Yu'Il take your seat al my left hand,
Why do this you'll understand;
Be not surprised, when tell you,
Old Abraham is coming too.
There on my rig ht, that vacant chair.
Long since for him did prepare
And syon know that he will come
His earthly race ia almost run.
John at my left, Abe at my right,
Wen give the heavenly hosts . fight
triune group we then shall be-
Yes, three in one and>ope in three.
Abe's Cab net, tits very true,
Will soon knock here az loud az you
In short, The neRroizing clan,
Are travelling here unto man.
shall protest, most long and loud,
Gainst taking in the motley crowd
For well know they'd me dethrone
And sweat that Tophet was their own.
Let Sumner, Stevens. and their host,
When they on earth give up the ghost
Unto lower hell appear
We have no room for them Up here.
Their clergy, too, much dc fear,
Attraction law will drar them hero
Their earthly teschings-though tell,
Are doctrines long since preached In hell.
They, too, must find lower home,
For hither sure they shall not come
We are crowded now in every spot,
Save here and there q vacant lot.
These I've reserved through all our fights,
For those who have pre- emption rights
That corner lots for Backbone Tod
renegade sccursed of God.
The traitor here from his own place
Can view the scenes at Fortress Chase
Laugh at the woes OF his old friends
TIL his curs'd life In horror ends
There's other traitors could tell,
They are too mean to come t. He'll
30 let each 60 and hunt his hole,
For green backs here won't pay their toll.
And now, o! John, on earth oppressd,
You are with o welcome guesti
Ga earth you played our paris full well,
So now with rs forever owen. p. CRIME.
