Chronicles of Zeracchaboam.


i. And it came to pass, that IN the
county of the great forests which are
over against the river called Savannah,
was founda man of small understanding
Who vas called John.
2. New this John did dream dreams
and did, moreover, in the greatness OF
~self-conceit, liken himself unto Archie
laus who did reign in the room OF
Herod.
3. Now aforetime this john did lift
up his voice against Benjamin. the Till
mantle, when be was but a poor tilier
Of che soil.
4. However when Benjamin had
risen mp and vas ike TO become great,
John did lay violent hold upon his
neither, garment, which hold is not
looseoed uato this day.
5. But when it was voiced abroad that
Benjamin would lay aside the scepter
and cast his old shoes from him, John
did long exceedingly for them
az. Moreover he did go from place to
place diligently enquiring concerning
the minds Of the people. whether they
would make him ruler in the stead of
Benjamin.
I. And he did 60 even unto the bill
country in the land Of his kindred to
address a coucours Of the people,
sbinking that through the acclama'ion
of his kindred haply some might be led
to believe that he was some great one.
8 Nevertheless. when the people had
gathered together there came others
also, who desired to reign when the
seepter had departed from Benjamin.

9. Aud among the number came one
Samson, and With him a physician who
was called William, who desired to
contend With him.
10. Then did John lift up his voice
and sound his trumpet before him aud
make promises to the people even more
delusive than those of Bejamin 10 times
past.
II. The kindred and friends of John
did also make a great noise, but they
deceived only themselves, for the sub
tility of John was long since known
unto the people
II. But in the greatness of. the
nnroar Samson was shorn of his strength
aud straightway besook himself again
INTO his Own country and repented him
that he had trusted himself unto the
mercies of John.
Is. The physician also did depart in
wrath resolving 10 his mind upon the
p%unishment of John when the day
should be ripe !; while james WHO is
called Tindal, did write an epistle unto
the -wool hats beseeching them to
bearken only unto him.-The State.
