Hos 5. MGpARy stR-T send y1u the following lii
uprising a leaf in history which think mas ne,
t hcen published. Should yol think them wort
la &c in the Crisis, you will please give them an
riion:
Come gentle muse and touch strain
Twill echo back and sound again;
On scenes that passed we now mus, dwell,
Ohen Old John Brown arrived in he'll.
When Pluto heard John Brown was hung
Old Tophet with hosannas rung;
For well they knew the lying thief,
Would make ,or them an honorcd chief
Brown to rec i've they did prepare
All eager ia the joy to share;
Old Satan from his throne came down,
Aud lett his scat for brother Brown.
Not long indeed, for him they wait,
For soon he Numbered at the gate -
"Comc in ~ said Plu'o, "quickly come
Your welcome to your fiery home !"
Three cheers rolled forth in accents b ie'
TO hail ihe Abolition chief;
Old John chiIn'd in and thanked the fatcs
He'd saicIy passed the pcarly gates
w
CID Satan took the Speakers stand
"Silcncel /" cried he, now all sit down.
Aud hear me welcome brother Brown
"N ou'ro welcome John to your reward,
You've cheated Biddla and the Lord;
Though pearly gates wide open flew,
They did not catch my servant true.
.As Oft You've r,rrdcrcd lied and stole,
1t did rejoice my burning sotl
You've run your lsngth in oarth's career,
And We are pleased to see you here.
rY0u'll take our seat at my loft band,
Why do this yOu'Il understand;
Ec surprised when tell you
Old Abraham is coming too.
"1hore on my rie;,t that sacan. chair,
Long since for him ( did prepare;
Aud soon knew that he viii COME
His earthly race is almost run.
"lohn at my left, Abe al ny right,
We II give the heavenly hosts sight;
A triune group then shall be,
Yes, three in one and one in three.
"Abe's Cabinet, It's svcry true,
VIII soon knock here as loud as you;
IN short, the n"groi2ing clans
Arc travelling here unto man.
"I shall protest most long and loud,
'Ganst taking IN this motely crowd;
For well know, they'd me dethronr,
And swear that Toph was their own
"lct sumner, atcphcns ana their host
When they on earth give up the ghost;
"Unto a lowe hen appear,
We have No room for them up here.
The clergy too, much do fear,
Attraction's law will draw them here;
Their earthly teachings, though toll,
Are doctrines long since preached in He'll.
"rhoy too must find lower home,
For hilhor sure they shall not come
We're crowded now in every spot
Save here aud there a vacant lo'.
"ThcSc I've reserved through all the fights,
For those who havo presumption rights
That corner lots for Backbone Tod,
a renegade accurscd Of God.
"The Traitor hero from his own place,
Can view the scenes Of Fortress Chase;
Laugh at the woes of his old friends,
'lill his cursed life in horror ends.
'Thcru's other traitors could toll
They are too mean to come to he'll
So let ca 60 and hunt his hole,
For grcrubacks here wont pay the toll.
And now, o John, on earth oppressed,
You are with Us a welcome guest,
On earth you played your part full WELL
uu\V with forever dwell
P.GRI!
