A DREAM.
BY PARSOX BROWM.OW.
'Tnras the atill hour of midnight; I lay on
ray Led,
And feverish surrounded my head.
I dreamed I had passed through uij last
dv'in throe,
And rnyfoul took it? f.iht to the regions
below.
Then eoon through tlie wido yawning
portal I passed
My pnssport examined admitted at last;
Aiid bein iuforiued by a ghost on tho
My respects ta Old NIok I straightway
niu'tpay.
Forthwith to his throne I Vent and fell
prostrate,
And paid my respects to the old apostate.
Then rising, he batfe ma to follow his
v.-ake,
And a trot through his kingdom for pas
time we'd take.
"111 eliow you," said he, ''Low ray quar
ters are crain'd
In various parts with the ghosts of the
damned."
44 'Isough Siid,' I ropliod, "go ahead and
I'll follow,"
So our pathway we took across a big
hollow;
. T it . . .1 i
A3 wo weiiucd our wav i pnv7 on in rigtn
A pn'.aC0 of iron, of tOA'tl'Il: llih';
I viewed it in wonder, a.r.d as I drew
nighir,
Discovered it was but a furnac of fire;
Its apartment above, its Ijaseraent below,
Wcra crowded with beiog3 the imago of
Y.YiO.
"What's thi.v-" was uy query; tl.o Dovil
rcpiiod :
' 'lis the plac? where my slave holding
children are fried '
As they said on earth a whito man must
bo
Abave the d d nigger, so 'tis here as
you see
The whites are above, and the niggers
below
The brimstone to stir and the bellows to
blow.
I :t b-t us go on; you shall see as we pass
The punishment dire of n, still meatier
class.
That place to the left is the fiery abode
Of a class who by thousands tread tho
broad road;
They arc hireling watchmen, who strive
to increase
The size of their flock for the sake cf the
Jletce;
No cara bad at all for tho souls of their
charge,
Duial: i w.s. tb.y cxTl vvhiif thtj vrOlf
ran at larr-e.
There are priests of all classes, uivieiciij ;
and names,
Condemned to bo broiled in the sulphur- t
ou3 dames: !
li-t tii i meanest bv far of those miser-
able creatures
Are those factors of hell the pro-slavery
preachers;
They preaoh that the Lord made the nig
ger's kin black,
Tliat th.-! white mau must ride tj heaven
on his back;
And Slavery's divinity, they'll make it so
plain,
To deny it is taking tho Lord's name in
vain.
Pisputing with them is timethrowu away
For the Compel th:y preach says "servants
obey."
They make a long prayer, a sermon comes
next,
And "eltvied; bo Canaan" the- take for a
text; -
And here a new light on their vision has
tiUTSC,
And couiebody beside poor Canaan is
t
Jast a few steps ahead I'll show you tbis
fctntion,
Along with "those men who would ruin
your nation."
And now as we stood on p. precipice dire,
I saw far beneath a great lake of lire :
Like a sea in the tempest its surface was
tossed.
While it swarmed with the pale burning
ghosts of the lost.
Rock-bound on all sideSj the deep hollow
roar
Of its surges resounded while la.'hirjg
the shore;
'The blackness of darkness' a sulphur
ous cloud
Hung over the scene like a funeral shroud;
Yet plainly 'twas seen the red waves were
at play,
As they da.-hnd the u!m crags that threw
back their spray.
Each wave as it rose displayed on its
crest
Some dozen pale ghosts there riding i
nV.rnsi- I
"Till striking the crags, they sank from
the sight.
And others rushed in, like men to the
fight.
" 'Tis here," quoth the Devil, "I dema
gogues throw
When thy come down and call for their
lodgings below.
As they never loved aught but broiling
and strife,
And were true to nobodv, or party in life,
F.ver turning and twisting and dodging
around.
No place more beStting for thera could bo
found:
For here they r.re tossing and dodging
forever,
Like drift-wood aHoat on Niagara river.
'Tis here you will find all those wicked
men,
Who devoted their powers the tongue
and the pen
To propagate shivery and spread it abroad
And tnakeill mankind accursed of God
'Twaa such that brought on your great
civil war,
And justly are they condemned therefor,
With the meanest of Devils who dared to
rebel.
To broil in the flames of nethermost hell.
Here are lying Reporters, Editors, Speak-
. trs, i "
And old Vnion-tavers tho compromise
shriekers.
Hat a new class of sinners came not long
And what to do with them I swear I don't
kr.ow;
I saw them t'olher iay while crossing the
Styx, " !
(Sent here, I suppose, for their d d dir
ty trick";
For of all who arrive hero day after day,
