that James, through the influence OF
Fiddling Bill, one Of the rulers of the
people, obtained an appointment of
route agent upon the great highway,
connecting together two great cities OF
that country.
Is. And when the papers came into
the hands of James, he lifted up his
voice and said, 10 these many years
have served the party, and now have
received my reward;s and his soul was
elated within him.
10. And straightway 1t began TO be
noised abroad that James was In luck.
20. But it. came to pass when Henry,
the high priest heard it, he. caused the
news to be circulated in the quarters OF

people.
I2f.s And behold, when they heardit,
they straightway lett their work, and
Went up to the temple and said to Hem

thing cannot be.
%. For has he not spoken evil of us
all-has he not denounce,. our Ger
man allies" yea, verify, hath ne not
cursed even Fiddling Bill.
%. And is it meet that he should, af-
ter his apostacy, even refusing at the
spring election to vote for Joseph,
chosen dispenser Of the favorite bever-
ages to our people, be honored with so
important a trust.
q. But Henry, the high priest spoke
words of wisdom to them. He coun-

rulers of the people came to-tno cars OF
James, he was troubled and sore afraid.
and called upon one Michael. man of
might, and revealed to hin the secrets
of his burdened soul.
27. And James said unto Michael, /
know | have slnned in that 1 have
spoken evil of our rulers, and now if
they interpose, will loose this chip of
support that our distinguished national
Fiddler has thrown to me.
2S. And James wept.
20. But Michael comforted him in his
sore distress, and said, by the LAWS, /,
even l, will go unto the rulers of our
people, and make peace between thee.
30. And James was -comforted with
these words of Michael.
81. And, 10! whilst the rulers of the
people were yet in the temple, Michael,
the arch angel, made his appearance,
and his coming was that of messenger
of peace.
80. And Michael said, I come to. an
nounce good news. James wants a
Post Orfce, and is penitent-he mourns
over his past -course-he is clothed in
sack cloth, and have come to you, his
offended brethern, and beseech you to
be recOnciled to him.
33. And Henry, the high priest, look
ed forth from the window of the tenn
pie and beheld James, the prodigal.
walking up the avenue, his head bowed
upon his bosom, and his outer man
bearing the semblance of deep contri-
ton.
81. And when Simeon, and Frederick,
and William, and jonathan, and Moses
saw him, they lifted up their heads and
cried with a loud voice, it is enough
it is enough let the prodigal come in.
35.. And Michael called unto James
and Said, oh !.James. it is ExCEL-LENT! J!
Come back to the fold, and receive the
blessings of your offended brethren.
35. And when James heard the voice
Of Michael calling unto him, his heart
swelled within him, and he ran with
great joy, and meeting Henry, the high
priest, at the door of the temple, he fell
upon his knees and said, To-! L have
sinned against the Democracy, and you
its high priest, in that l have cursed
thee. and the brethren with thee; and
done all manner of evil against thee; ;
but now | come in all penitence, and
with federal appointment in view. |
know am not worthy to be restored to
your full confidence, but for the sake of
our common cause, pray you receive
me as an hired servant, and my soul
shall bless thee all my days.
81. And Henry, the high priest, look
ing upon him said, even as Nebuehad-
neZZar eat grass, so does James, the
prodigal, eat dirt, and he took him by
the hand and lifted him up.
3S..And he said to Simeon, the Re-
corder of the deeds Of the people, Sim
it on him; and to William, the Treas
urer, he said, William, kill the fatted
calf; and unto Jonathan he said, jon
athaI4, put q ring on his finger; and to
Frederick, the scribe, Frederick, go
forthto Joseph's and order up the lager.
80. For it is meet that this day should
be remembered, for the lost is found,
| the dead is alive, the fallen restored
the prodigal has returned from his wan
lderings, and an excellent coon he must
be.
40. And they began to make merry,
and there was much feasting and drink
ing over the restoration of the fallen
one.
Al. And Michael, the king, said, how
good and how pleasant it is for breth-
rem to dwell together in unity. By the
LAWS, it is excellent, excellent.
42. And with one voice they shouted
in chorus, the lion and ;the lamb shall
/ lie down together, and a little chile
shall lead them.
43. And James, overcome with the in
f1uence of the spirits, fell upon the necf
of William, the Treasurer, and said, oh
[ have Wronged thee, in that I have
called thee hard names, but now I ash
for forgiveness. =e.-.,s
Al. And William, whose heart wa
kindly disposed towards James, fondly
embraced him, and kissed him, ant
said, our little Benjamin has been re
stored to our nome, and now we will g
down in peace to our graves.
45. And Henry, the high priest, caus
ed proclamation to be made in the do
minions of Joseph and Adam, chief dis
pensers of Democratic fire, of the peni
tence of James, and his full restoration
to the bosom of his party.
46. And when Robert, the cousin o
James, heard of it he was exceeding
glad, and SAID, how soon peace and con-
cord can be restored in the ranks Of the
brotherhood, when they are all in Office
what perfect harmony little office cal
bring about.
