be safe, but McPelter thot different.
He didn't bleeve IN the first place
that it become a Peace pariy, or at

It'd. / retired that mite earlier than
usual, and my mind dwellin on the
chances nv my continuin in offs in
case Nv Grants accession, l fell into
a troubled sleep and dreamed a
dream.
Methawt gathered in front Nv the
White House WIZ gallant array NV
our friends. There wuz Franklin
Peerce, and Bookannon, and Vallan-
digum, and the Woods and Magofiin,
and Monroe, and Brite, and Breckin-
ridge and the leaders NV the Dimac-
risy, all standin ther lookin wishfully

sage stood mighty host NV Ablish-
nists, armed and clad in armor, and
in such force ez to make the stormin
Nv it hopelis.
How shell we get in 2 sighed Bel
mont.
sAh, indeed, how?' answered Hen
ry Clay Dean.
That's the great and moral ques'
tion-how p ekoed Ben Wood.
my friends sed Thurlow Weed,
{ its easy enuff. When 700 can't sore
like tine eagle, crawl like the snake.
Sorein is preferable, but crawlin will
do at pinch. Is ther not the Lion
NV the Republic? Can't yoo get him
out and mount him? The Ablishnists
hev a regard for that same Lion, and
will never discharge ther arrers at
700 when yoor on his back, for fear
NV KILN him. Besides yoor ridin
him will in some degree do away
with the prejoodis they hev agin
yoo.'
But how kin VIC mount him 2 sed
they.
Trust us fer that?' said Wood, and
him and Raymond trotted Off to git
him. .e5-a r-
They got the Lion out, but ez soon
ez he cast his eyes onto the crowd
he uttered roar wich struck terror
into their soles, and lashed the
proud with his tail, and cast up dust
with his claws in manner fearful 70
behold.
He'll never stand it, sed Weed,
sonless he's blind-folded,' and Thur
low wrapped Raymond like q wet
dish rag over his eyes, and that done,
him and Randall pared his nails and
blunted his teeth, SO that ef the ban
dage sfood wriggle off and he shood
see wher he wuz he coodent hurt any
body, and shaved his name, till he
looked like 4 very innocent Lion in
deed, so that his appearance woodent
startle them not used 70 his fercenis,
and in that condishn they led him
very quietly down to the crowd and
give the word to mount.
Lord wat scramble ther WIZ
They piled on from the tip NV his
ears to the end NV bis tail, and them
wich coodent git on for lack NV room,
hung to the feet nv them wich he'd
got on, until it wuz nothin less than
q pyramid NV Democrats.
Finally, when all wIz loaded, the
word wuz given and the lion moved
off. They wuz delited. He ned
strength enuff to carry EN-, and he
wuz a carryin Nv EN- straight on to
.he White House, and at good pace,
TOO. Ez they approached the por-
.als, the Ablishn defenders Nv the
place opened onto EN-.
Hold y sed Weed, wood yoo de-
destroy the Lion Nv the Republic?'
Stay yoor handsr shreeked Ray
nond, sThe savir Nv the country is

But they left them to skorn.

And they belted away till the
whole mass wuz stretched dead and
