Emmanuel was grieved, and sej t out hand bills Alcohol goes to work might and main lie I repairs Ins old forts, and throws up i* any new ouch- Then he re-organizes amt augments his army. Emittamuff was grieved at this state of things, and so were many of his followers. They saw through the gauze. “Satan," said they, “has something to do in this matter, lie is getting ui easy about his throne,, and is making a dos- porato effort.” Emmanuel sounded his trumpet of alarm; and some of his soldiers repeated his solemn warnings. He caused many hand-1 ills to lie printed and stuck up in public places through the nations, warn ing the people, in the name of His Almighty Father, not to enlist under the standard of Prince Alcohol. iSouie ol the hand hills run thus: “Hear, O ye inhabitants of earth, and ' take warning! ' ftW Wino is a mocker, strong di ink is raging; and who;,never is deceived thereby is not wise. Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveih its color in the cup, when it moveth ; itself aright: at the last it hiteth like a j (serpent, und stingeth like an adder.” this rightly interpreted, inu-t he con sidered as descriptive of the Prince—or one very much like him —and the d.uigei of enlisting into his ranks. Another hand hill gave a description of gome ol Alcohol’s soldiers: "Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? who hath Contentions? w ho hath babbling? who hath wounds witbout)caiise ? who hath redness ol eyes? They that tarry long at tli ■ wine, they that go to seek mixed wine.” Another struck me with great force. It was a description of .Ministers of the Gospel, who drink drams. “Put they also have erred through w ino and tlaougii strong drink are out of tlie way; tuc I vies’ and the jiri.ph t have erred throug h strong drink; they are swallowed up ol wine; they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. IE r all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so tiiut there is no place clean. Come ye, say they, I will fiitcli wine—we will nil ourselves with strong drink, and to-morrow shall he as this day, and much moro abundant. Ills watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant, they are dumb dogs, they cannot Lark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are g eedy flogs which ear n ver have. enongKf and they are shop herds that cannot understand; they ad look to their myi way, everyone lor his ' gain, I loin his quart i And in my ureum, I exclaimed: "All this comes of misappropriating, and wiliiii I too, Paul s i mark to Tim otliy, 'take a little wine for thy stomach's sake and which they have wrested to their own dosti uetio,,. Another handbill contained an awful denunciation against those, who. in any way, onrotirag and their lriculs ;u.i| in igh tiers to espou-e the cause oT the Pro ce trjj “Wo unto him who givetli his n iglii,or drink, that putted thy bottle to him and mak stliiui < ruukcii also.” Jiut that which afflicted me um I, was one printed in large capitals, and couched in awful terms; it read as li).low : "Md DRUsKAjiD (/. e, devoted soldi, rol Alcohol; HALL IMi Hill I Tilr. KINGDOM OF GOD.” So Icarlul was the thought, it made me tremble as 1 beheld so many thousands—- apparently respectable people too, many of them—paying their dev tioria ut the shrineofl’rince Alcohol, and I exclaimed: “My God! is it ti dfeaui, or a tearful and solemn reality!''’ Alt' r all th e, ct/uld Alcohol date to go on with his plans of vil.ainy? If so, would mortals —yea, iiumoytaj beings— allow themselves to bo deceived and ruined? 'I he I'rinc was not intimidated and man wottld-not 1< arn wisdom. Alcol.ol called a council of war; all the demons under his command wore present and ho addiessd them as follows: "Rruve coadjutors, the time for action : has couie; we must, not indulge in useless delay. The design of this couin-il is to concert measures lor vigorous and effect ual operations. If you have any irnpor taut suggestions to make, brave demons, speak treely. ’’ Nothing was said for some time. At last one ventured to address the Prince in behalf of the assembly; he said: “Great i’rince, it ill becomes u-to give advice, much le.-s, to dictate. We have all confidence iu yuut wisdom; it is lor you to plan, for us to execute.” Alcohol bad got everything cut and dried; he wa~ a man —or rather a devil— of business, lie laid down bis plan of | operations, and explained it al, in detail; j it is hardly necessary to and, that it was [ received with vast applau e. The council now adjourned, and Alcohol and his crew i went to work with great fur.v. According to the infernal plan which he had adopted, lie first, repaired bis old j fortifications arid then constructed many ; i new' ones. A triple line of tremond us I forts and batteries soon stretched along I the nations. They were a'l created and manned underhisown personal inspection. These answered two great objects. In the first place, they served as recruiting posts, where lie hung out bis colors and ; li at’ up for volunteers. All who were disposed were allowed to approach the tho gairison without interruption, and enrol their names upon the Prince’s Register. Indeed, all possible stratagems and bewitching arts were used to ensnare the multitude. These fonitieations are the dens of sorcery, the .headquarters ol Satanic influence, the dismal focal points j where were brought into awl til condensity the heat and poison, and craft, and wrath of the pit. Whilst they were properly titled tor carrying on the work of latal seduction, tney were, also so constituted as to keep up at the same time a tremen dous lire on Public-good, Domestic-ponce, the Camp of Emmanuel, and a vast num ber of good citizens, soldiers and officers in various parts of the world. The am munition used was wonderful. In some mysterious way (I could not dicum out the interpretation . f the mystery) every charge which was tired til seemed to he a vital part of Alcohol himself. I hat such powde. as this should do so t ‘rrihle execution was not to he wondered at. The first line of Fortifications was called Distilleries. In these Mere placed some horrid entities —engines which Alcohol at first imported iu vast quantities trout the pit. In later years, the inhabitants of Earth learned to manufacture them, and in sufficient quantities to supply every demand, to the no small discomfiture of many of the citizens of the pit, who have thereby been thrown out of employment and are now begging bread. This line of forts was of special service to the Prince. I lie people praised; lor here they found a ready market for vast quantities of ap ples, peaches, rye, barley and potat. o<, which were instantly convert 'd by those infernal engines into Alcoholic Am muni tion. And Class-Leader, Shout a-hoap; Deacon, Luve-the-critter; Elder, Strait sides, and Vestryman, Stand-by- t-uiu liolier-than thou, rejoiced with an exceed ing joy, and rather than give their fruits Io aid the suffering poor, hurried to the Distilleries to have them converted into liquid-lire that would drown men’s souls in perdition. Oil! how the angels of Heaven wept at the sight! The second line of fortilieatious con sists of what weic called V h .lesale Gro ceries. l’iicir magazines were copious, and their guns were of enormous caliber. The effects of a single discharge might sometimes ho seen one thousand miles. The third line of forts embraced a great variety and a countless number of small, mischievous garrisons, which were called 1 aver ns, Grog-shops, Kctailing-storcs, etc. Under Alcohol's last commission, their number was vastly increased; he ordered them to he muck up on every turnpike, at all the cross-roads, at every corner iu every city, town ami settlement where he cou-ld got foothold. Indeed, he might be Mini to have wound this line ol lorts round and round a great part of liie world, as one would wind a piece ol twine round his finger, or as the spider winds up his prey in ihe fatal Web. Those gar risons carried on a perpetual correspond ence with the distilleries, and v\ hole, ale (jrocci ics, and from them derived their supplies of uumiui.it ion. Over these lorts Prince Alcohol sta tion and ti n e whom lie deemed won hy men; tiny were generally the friends ol .Mammon. | Alainim i; was the name ol one of the heathen gods, who vvas.suin posed to preside over Uieiies. It is fig uratively applied to riches; gold. si,ver, or in general to money. J !!e employed as many Par. ons, Elders, Deacons and as many of the private sold.ers ol K.n n.<inu>d us he and .Mammon, wih their united cruft, could bribe; ‘Tor Midi,’’ thought lie. '‘will be more sue<'elul in Ciisnaiing the pet j le, replenishing my ranks, and battering down the strong forts of my great enemy.” Me professed to hold them iu high repute, and no doubt hi. love to them was wonderful. Each commander managed the affairs if his r* i active earn on under the fol lowing license from the Prince: “Know all men by these presents, and to whom they may conic, That whereas, F, I’rince Alcohol, am a <!;; corner of merit, and the deserving I will honor. Having had good representations given me, and having perceived, myself, that the bearer * * * ,is such as is de serving Now, therefore, for your own good and gain, and the general good of man, l place you, worthy friend, over this fortification. You are fully empowered to employ all lawful means (and all means are lawful in such a lilcs.-cd cause) to win over the good pet pic ol lean,l: to my ranks, and to destroy all toy implacable enemies. Keep your guns brglit; use the strongest powder possible, (tliongb it is lawful to employ, especially at first, the milder sort), and he not aliaid of loading too heavily. Keep your colors flying; never be out of auiiinimtii n; beat u;> lor recruits; refuse no man, woman nor child who offers to enlist, for I seek the happi ness of all; and see that on the front of your fortress t lie folh wing words lie paint - ed in largo, bright capitals: "PHI M E ALCOHOL'S GARRISON, TURN IN,-THIS IS THE CHEAP ROAD TO RLISS. Re diligent, ho faithful; Mammon, my purser, will reward you well, and I will load you down with many choice benefits. Farewell. Given under my hand and seal.” , , “J’KiNCE ALCOHOL, |shAl..J The To give still greater strength to these infernal garrisons, the Prince stationed around each one (so 1 beheld in my dream) ten legions of fierce, crafty de mons, invisible indeed to men, but on this account the more dangerous. The Prince gave them the following charge: “Rrave demons, 1 solemnly charge you in the name of my master, Satan, to take care of these garrisons. Guatd, succor, strengthen them, as far as Em manuel's hateful power will allow you. Upon the proper management of these forts much, very muoh, of my success depends. Get access to the minds of the Captains, and make them diabol cally courageous, arid let all the wizzarJ acts which you learned in the pit bo constantly employed ill enticing men to these strong holds, and persuading them to enter their names upon my record t. Let my ears he constantly delighted by hearing a roaring cannonading kept up against the entrenchments of my ene mies. This sound is sweeter to me than the music ol the spheres. Perform your duty, and l will perform my promise by granting ample rewards to the deserving. ’ The fortifications soon got into full operation, and everything succeeded to the Prince’s mind. Volunteers in unex ampled lumbers flocked in from allquar tors, especially from the famous laud of religion, liberty, and equal rights. As Alcohol’s army was not under that pet feet discipline ivliich he wished to see established, he set about the work of re organization. Matters were soon ad justed. Under his improved administra tion the army was so -.irnt'>ged as to con sist of four genera, divisions. The first division was styled (lie “Tem perate Battalion,” and was composed of such as were denominated niinlerutr drink ers. Those who belonged to this division were not equal to perform duty; their services were not frequent nor laborious; their marches were short, and g> iicruliy performed in the most plea-ant part ot the day— the morning. Neverth -less, Prince Alcohol attached great importance to this battalion. It was, in many re- spects, the very basis of all his military operations, since all his advanced compa nies received their recruits, either directly or indirectly Irom this division, lie had no power to sedmv* md injure those who remained inflexible in the Touch Not ranks, under the command of that brave and inestimable commander, Total Absti nance. But when persons bad once at tached themselves to the Temperate Bat talion they came within the reach of the Prince’s fatal persuasions, and thousands would become madly ambitious to rush into the ranks and seize the honors of the advanced batalions. Tiie Temperate Battalion had its own standard. It consisted of silk, beauti fully wrought and attached to a GOLDEN mod On one side was painted, with magic art, a decanter of wine, pleasun ly labeled with the oft-perverted text, “A little wine for the stomach’s sake;” and on tho other, a bottle of cordial, and a glass of bitters with the motto: “.Medi cine to the body—health and cheerfulness to the soul.” Ensign False-Colors was Standard Bearer, and Captain All Deceit commanded under Alcohol. This general division was subdivided into many smaller companies. There were the Non Cnnimital.—u hirpe class of men and women, who would not take any duiihil stand for or against the ene my: Nnitrah, as they called them-elves, forgetting the great principle laid down by Kmninnuel in his book of action, that e that is not with me, is against me; and lie t hat gat herd h not wit li uie scat icreth abroad.” Then entno. the Don’t-Care, or Tmliffer ent Company. 'l'liis company was made up of persons totally indifferent as to whether Kuinmrmol or Brincc Alcohol prevailed in the conflict. ‘"II men have a mind to drink, let them drink, ’ they said, “What business is it of hoursV" “If men have no belter sense than to use strong drink to excess, we. are not accountal-lc for it,” and, “Am 1 my brother’s keeper?’’ and n.any other such exclaim lions they used, forgetting that i(it-d holds every man ace mutable, not only for what he does, but it'sr for what good he might, do. but fails to use iiis ex ample to accomplish. ’1 hen I saw in my dream another class, or company, arranged under this.banner, and iii this battalion. It was styled The Dost too-mueh Company. These refused to enlist on Khun ■■'.fluid's side to fight the enemy, because it required a lit tic money to carry on a successful warfare against iVince Alcohol- atid for the sake of a few dimes occasionally, the enemy per suaded such that they could make money by refusing to enlist against him, in any effort to militate against bis cause; and as they were somewhat inclined, anyway, to bold a tight grip on their money, they were easily persuaded to remain under the siilcen banner. 1 noticed, also, another company, who made great preteri.-ions to decision and stability of character, displaying them selves very conspicuously. 1 he.-e adopt ed the style and title No Danger. Kach one of this e.-impuny said “/ am in no danger of ever being damaged by the enemy. / don t drink; no not I on no, / n/Ver drink; o-n-1 y -v h-e-n I I e-el I j-k-e i-t.” Then I noticed in try dream, after a while, all these con.paid-s were found among the lirmdy Sippcrs. the Hum j Smellers, the (Jin Hikers, 'i lieu there | was tlie Tod ly Legion, (,’ordial-cohort, I the Cherry-bounce brigade, and many other.squads ton numerous to met.lion. Under the Silken Banner whole nations enlisted .Millions of Muitimriuel’s sol diers joined the Temperate Battalion Men oi 1 all ranks were t. ere -preachers, j .Judge-, Lawyers, Doctors, Merchants, j Ilegislators, Di aeons, Lldc-rs, \ estryrnen, Church Members not a few, and even women, who ought to have set an exam ple worthy of imitation, an 1 one calcu lated to wield the actions of the sterner s' x; but they -aw no danger, felt no J shame, but i uni lined themselves in a good j cause, and were wonderlu.ly pleased, j They all I'c.so.ved to advance no further* NUMBER 15. in tho Prince's service, hut before they were awaro thousands soon found them selves in "The Sip Often HattuUon.' Tlti< was tho second grand division of Ylcohol’s aimy. It was composed of persons of every possible variety, charac ter und rank. Many men of reputed worth, piety and greatness wore there, I’his division had its own Standard too. Their colors were Jine tinned linen; tho staff w.-is silver. And who could help smiling at the device? A limber tongue, and a reddish, oily nose, tied together across a stick, and catriud on the shoul der of a jolly looking little fellow. "Joy is with ns," was the motto. Ensign False Joy was standard bearer, and Captain Rein Slacker commanded under Alcohol. This battalion performed much more ser vice than til, first, and marched on with moderate speed towards the pit. Next comes the “Drink Deep Battal ion,” which was made up wholly of re cruits from the Sip-Often Department The Drink-Deep soldiers wore obliged to perform hard service, and were hurried along in a pretty quick step towards the gates of hell. A rough piece of tow cloth, exhibiting on either side a red faeo, ornamented with rich brandy blossoms, and attached to a crooked hickory pole, was the standard. Burning Thirst car ried it, and Captain Strong List com manded under Alcohol. From this infat uated company the Prince organiz -d a a vast, army, which I shall call “ The Di li,then Eosse," though tile Prince styl ed them his “Legion if Honor.” Most of the last described battalion were de graded to these ranks ef honor. How con'd they resist the fascinating priz ? Behold their stand.,rd! n mud dog skin I roughly dicsscd, attached to u limb of the U;as tree! A-id on one side was painted with tar nmt lampblack, by some sooty demon from the pit, something like a human being wa'lowing and puking in a mud hole. On the other side were to he seen a dagger, a broken skull, and an empty trencher. “Alcohol forever!’’ wa. recorded on every vacant space of the dog kin. Seal Fate was standard bearer. Aicuh.il always led theui in person, and Sw'i't Destruction brought up the rear. From the ranks of .he Drunker* IWe there were but f.w deserters; the Prince consideied them generally his sure prey. By forced, constant and laborious marches he conducts them on towards the pit. in this wretched company were to be seen those whom wo s! mild have least expect ed to behold in such a degraded, hopeless condition. There were women who wen® once chaste and beautiful; rich :nen who were once respected, poor men who-were once rich, legislators and kings who-wort* once honored, preachers who wsea oncei admired, professors of religion wltir were once thought pious. There were persons collected lroui every profession,, from every grade, from almost every aetimn under the whole heaven. L examined some of the subdivisions of the array,, and (), what a sight! There were hog Itag tags, the Mud-tumblers, the Win dow sni:i-her , the Slam-bun ers, the Wrtit gh-rs and (lie Uniters- 'Tlu-rc were also the iVo.-i -hrc.ikcrs, the Kye-gougers, Scuil-ernekeis and Throat cutters. I might j-cak nl-o of the oth r companies, such as the Barnt-livi r cohort, the Palsy phito.ii, the lin-psy j. lines, and the Bpi lejities. But the most despicable of all the ur w were the Wile bruisers. Satan was at first loath (so tr y foolish dream would have it) to open the gates of the pit to such iinam vagabonds; but Alcohol, who was mean r than his master, loved then dearly, and finally prevailed on him to a fiord them pioteciiou in bis douiiu i on.-t. But my heart sickens, and for the pres ein 1 must, laydown my pen. When my spirit recovers a little i will write another chapter of uiy dieuur. [C INTIM1I) IN' CUIt NKXT.iI As 1 war re. ling In a camp on the out skirts of Dead-wood, a jolly faced man came along and asked for a job. He was lolil i bat evei.v anil. wu working for him self, and making very poor wages at. t liar, when be replied: Gentlemen, I havn't bad one good meul in three weeks; l havn't been able to get a day’s work. I’m dead bivke, and the curtain is going down on this tragedy right here, and and right now.” He stepped around the fire, pulled a revolver fiom a miner’s bell, and then, retreating back a puce or two. lie said: “Gentlemen, I'm going! I’ve starved around the Black Hills for three months, and if there is any worse place than this, r’m envious to see it.
