cuckooks, and he leadeth them in the wor-
ship of the golden calf.
And he maketh them to hit the high places
in the land and he giveth them free access

proceeds of the vineyards of his people.
He eateth the butter of gold and he swal.

And with the fat of the land he ~elevateth
the money changer, and he wasteth the pros

He waxeth fat, he hicketh out at his peo-
Pile; he has grown thick, he is covered with
fairness, but he iorsaketh his people who
raised him from ont OF the slums of Buffalo
and made him king thereof, and he siteth
heavily on the bread basket of his people,
and he esteemeth lightly the constitution
fra med by their forefathers and ratified by
their foremothers, yea, verify.
He fisheth considerable, but he cometh not
from the sea of Galilee, but from Buzzards
Bay, and Hog Island.
He Monroeth some, he 81 btifugeth largely,
and he prevaricateth much, and payeth the

his people that he may plumber them of

They heed not the warning. The gold bug
and the cuckoo shall yet grope for the wall
like the blind. and they shall grope as if
they had no eyes, they shall stumble at
MONDAY as in the dark night, and shall be
in desolate places like dead men, yea truly.

shall be heard from the fair land OF the Till.

the confines of Hog Island.
For their transgressions are multiplied,
speaking oppression, conceiving and utter

And as for their iniquities the people know
them. Yea. In the house OF representatives.
judgment is turned away backward, and
justice stands afar off, for truth has fallen
into the c%uspadores, and equity cannot
enter thereto.
J~eruselington is cursed with cuckoos, and
they have BECOME great, they have waxen

prophecy falsely, and the cuckoo ruleth by
their means. and the people love it not
what win they do in the end thereof.
Like the noise of the iron chariot on the
mountain top, a strong people, set in
battle aIrsy, like a noise Of fire that devour.
