Chronicles Of the Times.
Now the province which lieth over
beyond Jersey, which is the Province of
the redbacks, tis the Province of the
ouakers who quaked with fear before
the host OF Jeph, and fled affrighted from
before the face of the Great Captain, in
the days of the great rebellion
2. And yet again the Province Of the
Quakers quaked with fear before the
hosts of Jeph, and the city OF William
the great Quaker bowed in submission
before the hosts OF rebellion.
3. Insomuch that the Copperheads
prevailed In the Province, and rebel
was Judge thereof. ....
4. And it came further to pass that
the Buckeye Province, which is chief
among all the Provinces of the West,
rich in corn and in cattle and In wine
and in swine, was divided against itself
concerning Hams cussedness.
5. And the cussedness OF Ham pre-
vailed.
6. So likewise the people which dwelt
across the great river were divided one
against another concerning what they
should drink. ..... ....
7. Whether water and a little wine
for the stomach's sake, or whisky, and
the others which be found in the four
walls of wrath.
8. And the drinkers of water prevail
ed, but not as the Republicans were
wont to prevail in the Province.
Q. Wherefore, it came to pass when
these things were noised abroad, they
came to the ears of Andy the wine-bib.
Der as he mourned over Philip the Greek
and Daniel the Sickle, and rejoiced his
SOUL
10. For whatsoever division was
amoung the people rejoiced the soul Of
Andy. .....-....-
IL. And when he had learned all
song OF Thanksgiving, moist ana aid 1 iong
and jubiliant.
IL. And the songlwhich Andy sung
was this:
s13. Son OF my mother, rejoice
Sing, shout and be glad Eat, drink
and be merry! Hop, howl. and be JOY
full
IA. So, these many months thou hast
been led into captivity, prosecuted OF
people, Knocked OF niggers, chained Of
lawgivers, pestered OF Great Captains
and set at naught of all the Provin-
ces.
Is. The loaves and the fishes of thy
place have been taken from thee; thine
enemies have fattened in thy sight, and
thy friends have fsmished before thy
door.
Is. Thy power has been IS naught,
and thy might as weakness, before the
hosts OF the Republicans.
II. What thou wouldst not that thou
didst, and what thou wouldst that thou
didst not.
Is. For behold, all things have work
ed together for evil to those that love
Jeph.
10. But the day OF thy deliverance
draweth and the morning OF thy exalta-
ton cometh.
20. The Quakers pour oil upon the
wounds of Andre the beloved OF Dixie
and the Buckeyes bring Of the fruits OF
their fields and their vineyards and Of
fering to his greatness.
q. The Hoosiers also bow before the
splendor of the scatterer of the Great
Covenant, and the jewellers beyond the
great river do obeisance unto the whis-
ky jug and unto thee.
%. Verify Jeph hath not battled for
naught, nor hath Andy suffered in
vain.
%. For Dixie shall rise as Queen
from the Gust, and Jeph shall be King
thereof.
"a. Ham shall be cussed for evermore.
And Andy shall cuss him; ay, and
make him drawer of water and a hew-
er of wood, and sell into captivity, his
wife and children, and grow rich upon
the wages thereof even as aforetime,
25. The Republicans shall be hanged;
and we shall hang them, from the least
even unto the greatest.
26. The price of whisky shall no
more be a grievous price as now, but a
small price as aforetime and Andy shall
drink it as in all time.
q. The Copperheads and the Dim.
micrats shall rule the land, and Andy
shall be their Prophet. Selah.
%. Get up and get, oh my soul.
20. For thou art chief among ten
thousand,-the chietest A. j., that was
or is, or Is to come.
80. Thy greatness hath discovered
thy whereabouts. Selah.
81. Now 1t was about the ninth hour
Of the night when the Chief Ruler had
made an end Of these wordy wanderings,
SO that a great thirst was upon him,
even as the thirst Of the camel which
j0urneyeth over deserts.
80. And rising up he went forth and
quenched his thirst once and again an d
yet third time.
33. IHsomuch that coming forth he
spake to those that were with him in
the Hebrew tongue after this wise.
