mocraey which descended from the mighty
Chiefs of the Revolution, who afcretime had

earth.
III. Bat thes hall snffsr grea. tribulation

and cast into prison, fer the King of the Wool

IeT.. l..
rule shall DO counted as q scouIge upon their
people for their sins.
~. For behold the Kings conscience, even
his inward monitor shall be an iron-clsd, so that
it shall be impenetrsble, and shall bs proof
against this elamors of those who love the Con-
sitution which the King hath taken sn oath to
support, but which the wOrshipsrs of the black
idol shall swear he shall not keep, for they will
have him 10 trRmple it under bis feet
" Aud the wrath of Abraham the King shall
be kindled against the people because they love
the Constitution and the laws OF their fathers.
VI Aud he shall call unio him his purse
bearer, who is called Salmon because he is sealy
even as fish, and shall command him saying,
do thou council with the chief rulers in the
temple of the Dragon, how we can worry and
punish the people because they viii not worship
the comely black idol.
VII And they said one with another, Behold
We viii fill the land full of Gfeenhaek Locusts,
which shall devour the substance of the people,
and shall cause every little thing to be Of an ex-
ceeding great price, SO that none but such as
we viii feed from the temple of the Dragon shall
have the wherewithRl of life.
VIII. All those things shall delight the King,
so that he shall embrace his scsly purse bearer,
even he that is called Salmon and the wor-
shippers of the black Idol shall smite themselves
for joy, because of the suferings of the Wor-
shipaFs of the White deities.
* Lo, IN the midst of these revelries, 4
sound shall be heard from stsr. coming up from
the North, and from the East, and from the
West like the noise Of many waters, and AbrA-
ham, the King, shall be seized with wonder and
fear, and shall send forth his faithful tIumpsers
30 search ont the Cause of so great eommoton.
Y And they shalt return quickly to tell the
King how the Worshipers of the White dei!ies
are gathering in the mountains and in the val
leys, like the leaves Of the forest, crying sloud
that the altars builded by their fathers shall re-
main for them and for their children for ever
and ever.
L., these things shall trouble tho heart of the
King, 80 that his countenanee shall change, and
his looks shall become like unto that of buzzsTd
| that is sick The hair of his flesh shall stand
on end. His meals and his drinks shall not
nourish him, even his jokes shall become dry
and husky.
XII But when the evenlids comsth "the gov
eminent" shall sleep, and in g dresm the devil
shall appear unto him, even The King, saying
| ssThe constitution is not equal to the exigences
of the case !" "the dogmss of the quiet past
are not sufficient for the stormy present. ''ths
situation is piled high with difficulties, and
| therefore we must rise with the occasion"
XII. Now when the morning cometh, the
King shall summon his faithful F1gemen, even
him that is called Sumner, the same being the
descendant of comely black weneh from the
| island Of DemerArs; and Seward, the prophet,
who drinketh much prOphesying whisky, and
foretelleth the times and the season when the
war shall end, and when the iriepressisle con-
iiet " shall bring peace, even the psAcs that
blesseth the dead after the battle; and Stanton,
net he that fngeJeth the Kings money in the
House Of Customs, bat that other Stanton, who
was aforetime Democrat, and seileth himself
20 serve in the temple of the Dragon.
/ XIII All these and other sone shall the
mighty King Of the Wooliy Heads Summon into
Il his pTesenes, and shall open hls mouth end
speak ahto them saying;
xiv. o ye my Fuglemen, heArhen unto me
and give ear to the wonderful things which th'
Lord bath done, for yester-night, At about tbs
second hour OF my slumbeT, the angel OF thi
Lord appeared unto me in dream, and shewei
me the things that appeTtain to wise and jus
reign over my people.
XIV And Abraham shall tell his faithful Fa
glemen the dream, and all the words which tn
devil speakeih unto him in the vision, and til
FUglemen shall look one in the fsce Of another
and shall marvel among themselves, saying, i
is surely the Lords doing.
u XVI Now the devil is cunning above a
things, and vain wilhal, SO that when he pei
ceiveth that the King tsketh him for the ange
of the Lord, be shall take delight in his owl
heart, and shall say unto himself Behold thi
King of the Woolly Heads is the covey for me
and viii make him my servant, and he sha
