opened, Pilgrim and stranger came
prospecting around the 'Burgh., Pros

was a Pilgrim and stranger, with
thirty six horses to enter for exhibition.
Would they give him small bit of The
Fair Ground on which to ride his hor-
ses Committee were afraid his blood
stock would take all the prizes Aud
there were not prizes enough for those
in the County. So committee said no !!
You can't have this grouud. Then the
Pilgrim aud stranger prospeeted across
the street, and he met man who ap-
prseiated blood stock, and sympa-
thiEed with pilgrims aud strangers
And he said 20 aad take my ground
aad gu i. build up your sberuacle, and
yoar teats, aud your stables, and any
thing else (so loas as you aou't build q
soap iaetosy) a"d there ride your hor.cs

which I've has duus. Aad | will build ap
MY Tabernacle, aud pitch my tsn aud

erected pole, aud over this pole he
spread a broad oloth-anl this was his
Tabernacle. Aud within this Iaberna.
Gle t.e harsesssl his six and thirty hor-
ses-anl they were sleek. Aud his
charfots were nuntcrous aRd gaudy.
And his horses were fat aud bloooded,
aud were rot by any nteans Of the old
crow bait kind. Neither limped they
any-nor had they sore backs-not one
And then the PHI grim took into his
Councils mighty Captain who is named
James kihtaH. (wh, III his intimate
friends call jim" for shorO, ard aaoth
vr csriO-rs worker in wood whom his
fri-aae calls Ben, (also for short Ne hav-

wanted all who would, to cone in and
ride toe sleeS, aud fat, and b,Jo.i-l
horses-and To st and ride within the
candy ehAriots-snd this he did many
tiincs Aud while the mighty Captain
said this, he the curious worker in wood

round with braz.n baaJs, and studded
with brazcn IT Nuds And when TIE fine
oil was all poured out into the chest,
the curious worker in wood, seized with
both HIS hands handle or crInk which
belonged to the chcst, and he turned
the snme with much rapidity. And

mighty Captain spake. And the music
WAS ground out, and they gathered more
and more until they numbered tens OF
thousands And they were in much
ecstacy while they listened to the voice
of the mighty Captain aud the sweet
music. Aud none-no not one Of that

Aud thereupon the crowd went int
