SWAN IN COUNCIL-AR AILEQOBY. DV J. D. TEtINY. Once Upon a time, far back in the re mote past, Satan, the “Prince of the Pow : er of the Air,” called a council m Pande monium. Upon his throne of fire sat Lu cifer himself, and upon his awful brow gleamed a burning diadem, that glowed and flashed like vivid lightning in the murky air; myriads uponmynadsof fal en spirits—rank upon rank, of P nnc ’P a *' ities and Powers," thronged to the hell of audience. All forms of evil, gnm and horrible gathered around him liko satel | lites around a blazing star. Silent they sat in that illimitable hall which the.sal. phurious flame lighted up, while the lurid smoke hung like a mighty canopy over the scene. ■ . . . Then up rose Satan—born- to rule— who “dwelt like a star apart,” matchless in evil ub in power, and to the infernal multitude thus spake: “Princes and potentates, who. do my t»a -' ding, and who best serve mo when most ye thwart the Almighty. Listen! Ye know that we have tried our subtlest wiles upon the race of man, that we have tempt ed him at all points, and yet so is ho hedg ed in by holy influences, and watched over by good angels sent frpm above, that scarce ly can we destroy a single soul., I cannot elut my vengeance upon him as I would, !to spite Heaven’s Monarch. Most noble chiefs, I have called you together to take | council of your wisdom, how we may best ruin mankind while they dwell upon earth, and afterwards to bring them to this pit of woe. Speak, ye, each his mind ; and to him who shall give wisest counsel, and of fer strongest means to effect this our roy al purpose,! will give the dominion of the ; earth and the inhabitants thereof, and a seat at my right hand forever. Thus spake the fiend, and hell to its ut most centre resounded with applause. Then rose up Moloch, “horrid king, be smeared with blood of human sacrifice, many thronedpowera, that led the embattled Seraphim to war, I claim the proffered price. I am the spirit of cru elty? I hardened the heart of the first murderer. Give me the dominion of the earth, O Satan, and I will make it one wild Aceldema. I will sharpen the assassin s knife. I will bring the rdek, the wheel, the fire of persecution upon man. I win make him to be a pirate and a mansUaler, and millions shall rot in dungeons and in chains. I will bring war upon the earth , and amid the smoke of hurmng cities. l will teach mep to rend each other like w ild beasts until the earth shall rock with mid | night massacre, I will call them together bytens and hundreds of thousands tdgash each other with horrid wounds, I will give them devlish energies, that m a moment shall blow whole squadrons into the air.

Let he dominion of the earth be mine, O master, and thy realms shall be peopled with the souls of men 1" . Then Mammon, “the meanest and least , elect of all the spirits that fall from Heav en. arose and said: ! “Listen to me. O Satan, for thou know mv nower over the sons of man. Give mo domfnion over them, nnd hell shall nev ar be'empty.

Nay, men shall bow down and do him rever ence, though every piece he owns is stain ed with human blood, or wrung from the hand of want by cruelty and oppression. Nay, the possessor of gold shaft himselt become infatuated and at the black hour 1 of midnight' shall steal from his bed on tip toe, and looking cautiously around in tear of robbery, shall open his iron, chest, ana count over every glittering coin, and hug it to his heart and worship it. Then shall ho eo forth and grind the faco of the poor, taking usury and robbing tho widow an orphan, unmindful of conscience or of God, and when the death angel comes, m his last agony ho shall clutch the yellow drops in his skinny hand, and die, and come with all my votaries, to make his bed. in hell. Thus spake Mammon, and as he paused , Satan “grinned horribly a ghastly smilo. upon his servant. , Then rose Arimanes, the Destroyer, and spake thus: ■ , , “O thou arch ruler of tho d -d, lis ten untome. Tho volcano, the avalanche, the earthquake, the pestilence, and. the famine are mine.

Loud rang the plaudits as tho fiend sat down, and the rest, obsequious, guvo place not doubting that Arimanes should be ap noinleil ruler of the earth, iho tumun ' was hushed, and all waited intent to hear their great master’s decision, whensudden |!y froma beetling cliff, far out in the burn ijg lake arose ablue lambent flame, which, while they gazed took shape-a horrid shape —and stood before the assembled was clad in vesture wet with Wood, the gore hung heavy fromhis matted lock , and the fiercest fire of hell shot from his burning eve-balls.
