Chronicles Of the Times,


last book that was written was not writ
ten unto the end.
9 And man hath not seen nor woman
heard, neither hath il entered into the
heart OF boy, what things would have
been written in that book,
3. For the prophecy Of that book came
not 10 pass, but passed away, in that GER
tain men in high places. Republicans and
sinners, fell down and worshipped the
golden image which was set up round
about the Great Temple,
T. Insomuch that Andy the King liy-
eth, and the wine-bibbers and rebels re-
joice
5. And it came TO pass that when tho
people heard that the judges of Andy the
King had sold themselves COR price,
! O. They said one to another: There
is left 10 us yet another way out of this
| forest.
!. And even as II feline NAV be- skinned
in many manners, SO an unruly king, who
hath escaped Judgment in one way, may
be taken in another.ss
=. Yea, verify. and since our servants
who speak for us in the Great Temple of
the fathers will not vote THE fellow out OF
the place which he profaneth, We will do
it ourselves.
.. Aud they came together in the great
city of the West, where the swine goeth
down to his death and the fatness Of the
earth gathers itself together,
10. A mighty concourse, hosts of
Ulysses the Warrior, tillers Of the soil.
and toilers in shops, freemen all, beloved
of Abraham the Martyr
IL. And they cried out with one voice,
mighty voice, heard from the North
even unto the South, and from the East
unto the far West, for Ulysses the War
rior, that he should be Chief Ruler, in
the place OF Andy the King.
l2. So likewise they chose out Schuy-
Ter of the house of Colfax, a printer by
trade. and beloved of the people. that he
should be as helper to Ulysses the War
rior.
l3 They then wrote upon their BAN
ners: Peace on earth, good will to men,
saving no peace TO the rebel, and no power
TO the wine-bibber.
IA Then came they to Ulysses, and to
Schuyler saying, Bear this our banner,
and we will follow thee to victory.
I -. Now when this was noised abroad
to the uttermost parts of the earth, there
was CONSERVATION in the camp of the Kop-
perhead, and fear covered the rebel as
I with garment.
| l6. For they new how Ulysses had
aforetime conquered all the hosts Of Jeph
the Repudiator, and put to rout the kop-
/ per heads, and they wist not how they
should withstand him now when he came
yet second time against them.
II. So that they looked to the North
and to the South, and in all the corners Of
the country, seeking out man ~ho
should bear their banner and deliver them
/ from Ulysses and his host
1S And great strife arose among the
great Kopperheads concerning who should
+ be chief among them.
/ 10. For it was accounted great honor
among these fellows to be slain at the
hand of Ulysses, and they said, Since IT is
appointed to US to die, let MS die AS cap
tains, nor die as the dog dieth.
20 And OF these, George the Repudi.
ator was the chief, for he was left bruised
and wounded in the days aforetime when
he TO llowed George the pretty man, and

with John the Adamsite, and james the

honor than other men saw, wherefore be

because he was u great sayist among the
brethren;
30 Andy the wine-bibber, with others
not "A few, DimmiGrats and rebels VIII
would fam offer themselves sacrifice
upon the altar of Jeph, and bear the BAN
ner of the Repudiator to defeat;
pa And not these only, for "a new sect
arose III the land in these days and joined
itself unto the kopperheads.
%. And these men studied how they
should become famous, and studying
they reasoned with themselves after this
wise:
20. Ii is appointed unto all men once -
eat dirt, even u peck of dirt. Now there
fore, if We shah eat dirt, a great quanii-
