CHAPTER I.

I. And it came to pass in those days that
Abraham being dead and gathered to his
fathers, Andrew reigned in his stead.
2. And the war which had prevailed for
many days being ended, there was much
trbuIation, and the Blood-suckers, and
Preachers, and HarIots were much afflicted.
g.. And raising their voices they said,
"Behold the honey comb of which we have
eaten is vanished, and the teats we have
sucked have become dried up.
4: "What shall We do that these good
things pass not away from Us, and we be-
come again as lean goats !''
5. And they sent their cunning men and
painted women into the city of the King
that they might spy out the weakness of his
court, and lay snares that be might be taken
| in their tolls.
6. And going thither they clad themselves
in mourning, and Iamented the death Of him
who had reigned.
7. (For they thought TO hoodwink the
King, and to hide from him their deceits.j
8 And they cried out for vengeance up
on all those who dweIt in the land of the
South, and imputed to them the death of the
King who had been slain.
9. Saying, "Let their men and women be
slain. Draw the sword upon the babe and
the suckling-Ie, there be none spared from
the edge of the sword Let the land be
laid desolaie.
10. "Let thy word, o, King lift our
brother, the niger, TO the high places-Ie;
him be even as ourselves.
IL For behold. by these means shall We
bring down the Copperheads, and our glory
be written upon tables of brass.
l2. "And thou, o King shall we wor-
ship if thou wilt bow down and.do our will
TO thee shall Boxer sing hosannas and Tha-
deus. the Cynic, shall praise thee.
13. eve will give 10 thee power, and do
minion, thou shalt rule us forever, and thy
glory shall shine like unto the mackerel
( when i, slinketh."
IA. But Andrew, the KiEg, looking upon
them perceived the malice OF their hearts,
and their lying prelences were made mani
| fest TO him.
Is He saw, also, that from the ruin of
the Land they sought riches, and that the
chief Of Devils had entered into them
16. And answering them he said, otis
written Trust not the Yankee when he
smiIeth, nor the peddIer of nuimegs when
he sngeth PsaIms.'
II. "Go ye therefore TO your Factories
and Bsgnios, and conventcles, and bring
not hilher the notions of The Fast.
IS. "Put ye off the weeds wherewith We
are clothed, for I perceive through your
armor of hypocrisy The wickedness of your
hearts.
10. aye have made TO yourselves friends
of the mammon OF iniquity-ye have heap
ed up riches in the day of afflic,ion.
20. aye shall no longer through the lem
pest of blood add to your stores, for behold
the night heeih and the dawn of common
sense draweth nigh.
2I. al have sworn .hat the Covenant of
our Fathers shall be kept whole, and behold
The Yankee and hidden traitor shall not lay
his hand upon the law.
o. 'The murders which ye counsel will
not do, nor sh all your deceiduI words lead
me to the worship of OBI the god o. the
niger.
3d. "The day Of baby-,aIk hath passed
away, and the bIather ef towards hath be-
come as the East wind-empty.
"a. "Even as the Devil did to the Son of
man, so have ye offered that which is not
yours 10 give, and like unto him shall ye
fail in your guile.
25. "The songs OF Boxer are not sweet
mass TO my ears, nor do desire the remem~
brance of drunken Leaguers."
90. And the Leaguers, and Contractors,
and Preachers, and Harlots went from the
presence of the King sore abashed.
81. And hey ground their teeth in their
rage, their spitlle dried in their mouths, and
they swore that they had been "sold' even
as Esan.
%. But the people laughed them TO scorn,
and said, "Let us drive this herd of unclean
spirits from our borders.n
90. But the elders and wise men said,
"Nay, rather let them be, that they may die
of their own spleen and bitterness, and
their names become prOverb 10 the peo-
pie.n
