exciting news.
E.-My loyal lord, calm thy nerves.
L.-Are things not encouraging
E-That dutch fool Deitrick EXline,
has betrayed the secrets Of the Loyal
League!
| L.-Great GOD we are undone!
Ell have opposed the admission OF
simple, honest men into the League for tho
reason that there is more truth than poet
| ry in the adage that "children and fools
will toll the truth"
1.-The dutchmGn must be decoyed TO
Loeb Lomoud, and there, having stone
tied about his neck, must thcu be sunk
into the fathomless pool
E.-Would'st thou sugges! measure
so severe?
L.-Exline is simple enough to tell the
truth, and such men in these times, de-
serve traitors fate
E.-As nothing but wisdom drops from
thy lips and flows from thy pen, endorse
what thou sayest without further question,
for in war times no truly loyal man will
think for himself
L.-Thou hast we'll said-for Forney is
the inspired scribe Of the Loyal League,
and hut reiterate his sentiments.
E. bows down Great is Abraham
Lincoln, and Forney is his only true
prophet {!
Thou should'st say Fornoy is his
chief prophet, and Leroi, Anna Dickinson,
Robert Dale Owen and Henry Ward Bee
cher are his minor prophets and scrbes.
Ell hope that UQintcntlonally, have
not uttered disi6yal sentiments -?
Lit is disloyal not to recognize me as
of the holy prophets and scribes.
E.-I will not again so offend but
what shall be done with the dutchmau
L.-Bring him before me forthwith.
E. As Forney is the mouthpiece oftho
greatly adored Abraham, and thou re-
peatest but the words of the chief proph-
ct, thy will is my law.
