CoNcERNINs THE COMMODORE.
In those days there was an image
Cornelius.
And this Cornelius was chief of band called
the Scent-rule band, which took money on the
way as thou goest from the river Hutzo0n TO the
great lakes. Now men who took money from
wayfarers on the road were called Durrektahs
And sometimes he and his band took nOney in

oahmz1ze and dahmiZOle; for such were the
prayers of the deVout men of Gotham
And albeit they were not Pharisees thew

chambers, but at the corners of the streets and

And Cornelius shall pay for the image.

Daniel prayed always in the congrega alton, and

And when he was not praying and singing, he
was taking money on the road or in Ouahlstrete,
like Cornelius; for he also was Durrektah.
And Satan helped him likewise. For when he

LIKEWISE FIsK
New Jenphrise was a Iangkie, and
mad come TO Gotham from Bosstown, the chief
city Of the Iangkies and he was of the tribe of
Peddullah, and in his youth he had gone to and
FRO in the land of the Iangkies, sitting in a
chaIlot, ana blowing trnmpfet, and selling
merchandise. And he found favor in the ewes OF
the women of that land, and sold them much
merchandise, even garments of silk and of
wooden, and OF fine twined linen, and jewels, and
nameiess little things that in the Iangkie tongue
are called noshins; albeit among the Iangkie
women both shins and noshns are nameless
But in Bosstown he had joined himself into the
tflbe OF Jobbah, and sold merchandise unto the
Peddullahs. And when he came to Gotham he
left the Jobbahs and went into Ouahlstrete, and
became money changer. But he ceased not to

THE BLONDES.
And after these things, there came certain
women 10 the City of Gotham, singing women
ana dancing women from the land of the Pahli-
yoOs, and from the land of JohnbOol. And the
women were comely and fair to look upon; and
they all painted their eyelids like Jezebel and
they that came from the land OF Johnbool stained
their hair yellow like gold.
And their garments began low and ended high
anu When they sang, they lifted up their
arms, and clapped their hands, that men might
see that they were comely from the waist up
ward; and when they danced, they flung ont
their feet behind, and walked around that men
downward.
And the words of their singing no man could
understand; for verify they meant nothing: but
their dancing meant great deal, and was
understood of all men.
And they found favor in the eyes of the men of
Gotham. But in the eyes of the women of
Gotham they were naught; and they said What
are these women, that the men should set so
much by them?
DO they not wear garments that begin low and
end high, which IS an abOminatiOn, and work.
eth confusion? Verify, we ourselves, when we
90 unto feast, where there are many men to
look upon us, wear garments that begin low
but likewise they end low, even so low that a
woman's raiment cOntinueth long after the
woman is ended.
Notwithstanding, the men set none the less by
The dancing and singing women, and when they
played before the people, the houses were filed
with men, young and old, shouting and clan
ping their hands, and casting flowers and Jewels
Of gold at their feet; such was the delight that
they took in the singing that meant nothing
and the dancing that meant great deal. Even
so, also, did the men OF the land OF the Pahli-
v0os, and of the land OF JOhnbOOl. SO that the
whole world was filed with the uprOar of these
women; and their singing and dancing was
called in the tongue of the Pahliyoos. as il is
spoken in the land of the Unculpsalm, uproar-
booph.
