Volume 4,
From the Pituby rgh Despatch.
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.
Then shall they come: O master shriek

Moloch taken his seat, when Belial arose

Be mine the task to rule ihe world. 1 will

set his heart on fire of hell. I will be the

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

spell upon the hearts of men and women,
that shall work their destruction. The
young maidon in the pride of her beauty,
and with all her store of holy affections
shall forget her plighted vows to the youth
that loves her, and leave him heart-broken
to die; and though sickened with disgust,
shall go to the altar, and wed the grey
haired wretch who heaped up gold. 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. Bo it mine to.rulo_ the:

the twinkling of an eye. I will hurl the

sorines and send hail and blight and mu-i

men and tendor children shaft go forth, and

shall faint and die of famine. I will send |
the earthquake, and he shall smack hi

men shall fall in the street; and the houses
