The Epistle of st. Jeemsa the Lesser,

/. Jeemsa the servant of Jeph unto oil the
well beloved and faithful Kismetoecrats (called
by our Fathers, Dimeorats,) throughout the pro-
vince of Delaware.
2. Behold the time cometh, yea is nigh Mt
hand when the men Of this province shall choose
them man to go up for them unto the great
city even unto Washington;
3. There to eat of the fat Of the land, and to
take OF the gold of the people, aud to cut and
shuttle and make merry, and to sound forth his
own praises in the ears of all the people.
Now We do know that as it WAS in the time
Of good Nebuchadne2Sar the King 80 in these
latter days this is the law Of the kismetoecrats.
8. When the Priests of the Kismetoecrats shall
take of the dust of the earth, even the filth there
OF and shall make the image of man out of the
dust of the earth, and shall set it up to be wor-
shipped,
6. Then shall all the KsmetOecrats straitway
fall down and worship the image which the
Priests have set up.
7. llarken therefore unto these my words,
Behold now have our Priests found in the sands
of JaiEee AN image which the Priests of another
Province had cast away, aud have set it up for us
to worship, for verify it is goodly image.
g. And the height Of the image is one hundred
and ninety cubits, anu his head IL Of fine copper,
aud his face is of pure brass
" Aud his breast, and his arms, aud his,belly,
and his Thighs, and his legs and his feet, are not
copper neither of Brass, but Of the earth,
earthy, (or truly it is the image of ~ strange
Beast, which our Priests found in strange
land)
10. But the earthly parts of the image are
covered over by the broad mantle which our
Priests embezHltd from the household Of the
good old High Priest Of our Fathers 81. An
drew, surnamed the Rebel Hanger
| IL. So when men look upon the image which
our Priests have set up, they naught bat the
Copper Head and the face oil Brass. for the
earthly parts are hidden by the mantle whill
was stolen from ST. Andrew, tho lehel Hanger.
IL. Now in times past 80 did that whoa
commanded you when did say surely white j,
black aud black is white, then did ye all say
likewise, even with oaths aud eursngs
ID. And when did say cal dirt, then did y
all cast yourselves int0 the nte and did Ca
dirt to the full.
IA So, nov, likewise will | speak, md y,
shall obey. Wien ye shall hear the sound o
the trumpet sounding forth from cur temple
even the temple of Friendship,
D Then shall the Priests 4sfyou to harken
and yc shall say speak for 10 our ears ar,
open; then shall they set this Riiiie before You
" Watson of n true ksmetoorht would turn asd
his head when the Priests shall say, hold eyerj
man his nose for ring, even for IL reward 0
Merit,
10 Then shall no man dare to say, surely W
shall not have rings in our noses Us d reward q
Merit for is il not all Tom -io0lery aud giea
White lie TO deceive us But ye shall all with
loud voice answer, nary son. for we will ever
man have IL ring of Merit in his nose
II. And when ye shall hear my voice saying
bob, thon shall every man stratway fall on hi
a hands and knees and shall lit up his voice, an
A cry with II loud voice,
is. Great is Scharlee of the Jarsees, great
A Scharlee OF the Jarsccs; we viii even send hii
{ up to the great city, for behold this is the imag
, which our Priests have set up, and have they III
/ 50 declared it mud are we not all true Kismet
e Gratis, ard faithful followers of ST. Jeemsa ii
