When closed was July's Sabbath day, When Christians met to preach and pray, The rude, regardless gambler's voice Mixed with theiattle of fiis dicei And cursings, execrations loud. In tumult echoed from the crowd ; And libertines the silence broke, With coarse, profane, licentious joke ; In revelry and drunken riot, Disturb'd a peaceful country's quiet ; A landlord stood with long cigar Attentively behind his bar. To catch the '* chink" of those whose mind, To Sabbath drinking is inclined ; Of loitering prodigals who waste, And quickly to destruction haste ; To fill from wretchedness and shame His coffers with his ill-got gain. ' fwas then while they were thus engaged That, transported, by hate enraged, Old Satan with a fiendish hsot. Lest should his power on T5Srtn be lost ; Did from his hellish regions sally, Again his votaries to rally. He saw and knew without a doubt What Caledonians were about. And how he raged and champed amain, To think they tried to stop his reign. Swore by himself and all his power For them 'twould be an awful hour : That hour they first to virtue turned. And all his ways and counsels spurned — ♦* Rebellious men ! yea, in my wrath, They deep shall wail in brimstone bath \ •/• /m ',p \i^ ik " Those of reform, wJ^|W^beginners, ^< CursM shall lied(«|^H chiefest sinners, « Shall dwell for ^^HRnding pity <' Within the precilwlHr my city." He with his train pBwl'd lane and street, While were his votaries old asleep, And his perverting breath he blew Into the ears of all he knew Were bound to work a reformation, 'Mong Orangemen of every station ; And those who vowed had to be quiet, Nor mix would more in drunken riot ; Nor raise their voice in hid'ous yell, To send with priests the Pope to bell, — All this was done with steady aim That he their homage might reclaim. One pass'd through Alton in the west, Where was their Marshal great at rest ; And serpent-like, as now it seems, Disturbed his sleep with 'larming dreams ; Said " Noble Sir, precaution take, "From me, but for my master's sake, *• Do not allow these men to preach, *' With studied long and sober speech ;* *' They seem indeed to be your friend, " But their design is in the end, " To treat you as a loafer band,"— *'The mere rascallions of the land ; <' 'Twill please them most, and they'll exult "In trying grossly to insult," To Charlston he winged his flight. Where sat his master in delight. Beside a tavern-keeper's bed, With hand reposing round his head ; And thus conjointly they began To op'rateon the sleeping man: They blew a breath which conscience kill'di And keen desires for wealth instill'd ; Thus was prepared his callous heart, In their designs to bear a parti * It had been arranged that two Ministers were to preach ,to the loyal hosts but by the wiles of some Satanic agency, tbese good men were disappointed. ich His brow with sulphurous hand they stroke, Thus rough caress'd the sleeper woke, *' Now take," they said, *' this solemn vow, " I will to you and Mstmmon bow i **Not to the world this scheme I'll tell, "If so, may I with serpents dwell ; ** And writhe in brimstone flames in sorrow, *' Before the set of sun to-morrow.'* To this the vender was agreed, And bade his worship on proceed ; One moment's pause, what silence dread! Then Satan complimenting said : *' Great sir, I'm loth to do you harm; *• You know my heart to yon doth warm ; *' So faithful thou, my servant friend, *' Thou by the score to me canst send Liars, tipplers, gamblers, thieves, *' Blasphemers, swearers, and the chiefs "Of Godless men ; just send them hither, *' As they around you do forgether ; " Who, robb'd of morals, wit and wealth, "Come here to celebrate the TwdJVi^ " i>ror tear '""HiiiTtimesTn^yselFril pay <* All tipplers' bills forgot that day." Surprised the vender asked the question. What they might mean by this suggestion* Said he was ever prompt and still, Would yield submissive to their will. Pleased with his fealty and submission, They further dealt him his commission. *' Upon that day when they have met, " I charge thee strict, do not forget, *' Behind thy bar to take thy stand ; " To all in Orange dress'd look bland ; ** Smile as they to and fro do pass, " And offer them the friendly glass ; " And do your best with(mt abuse, "To sober temperance mCTi seduce ; " They long have formed a motley band, ** Against our ixiterests in this land— ^ " But most of all this one thing try, - *' Watch o'er the crowd with careful eye, " And thwart the innovasi ve plan, ■•*Uf preachers, who would us ha^9,njfue. * 6 *• With sober sanctimonious face, " On points of doctrine ajod of grace; ^'Curs'd, rotten-hearted, %a8e dissenters, " Two turn-coaf, hypocritic ranters; *' What common sense approves their babbling, "More than a band of tinkers gabbling. " Had Alton Lodge paid due respect "Unto the ways 1 did direct, " From some Established Church would they " Have some Divine to preach that day j ** A Lewis, or a great McGeorofe^ " Would do some credil to our orge ; *' But insult 'tis to common sense, "Audacious arrogance ! pretence ! " Their boldest aim's our overthrow, " And will, if on v^re let them go." The vender scarce forbore to weep, One icy tear roll'd down his cheek ; To all he heard he said Amen, And, sobbing, went to sleep again ; Declaring he would do his best. They left him to himself to rest — And next they went to number ten, Where dwells the chief of Orangemen :• Within a dram shop low and sooty. Behind his bar a SemUClooty-^ Tis truth I tell, if you but look, You'll see he has a cloven foot ; And though the horns in him are wanting, A score of years in service ranting - ^.^ « One reason is 'mong many others. For saying Nick and he are brothers — Here night and day the tankard flows Inspiring debauchees to blows: And here Vacuna from her breasts. Rears men that prov^to mankind pests; When Infamy with sftny pap, Suckling on her downy lap Sons of coruption, who in strife Can wield the assassin's bloody knife; -- iur cis oaui s SaKB attempted to strangle W.

And saying this away they flew, To join in hell a fiendish crew, Who eager were in loud debate Upon the affairs of church and state; But hush'd were revelry and mirth To hear the long report from earth — The prince of darkness took his seat, And bade his escort now repeat Iti outline brief all thai was done By them last night in Caledon— Then with a look both learned and grave The escort prompt compliance gave, Said *' Demons all I pray attend ** To this report which I have p eenM ;" Then read it to th' infernal thrSttg, ' Midst loud acclaim? from every tongue, So pleased they bade him read again, When louder still they shout Amen.

These sentiments, not uttered loud,, ImpresRod both leaders and the crowd, Which they in spirit did adopt, And scarce a moment here they stopt, Awaiting breth'ren join thie train, A Kermon-loving few remain, ni n f ' Reflecting some, with visage sad,, , Thinking the clergy t'eatedbaci [.^^ j, ^^ ' 'Twere long to tell, m rhymes iiiitiiite.

Which he, when called upon, could show, To master-fiends in worlds below. Now in narration let us view, To what extent the marvel gvcw, When preachers, to fulfil their task, Came as agreed, and kindly ask, " Have all the loyal boys gone past, « And left us in the lurch at last ?" « Yes," was the modest prompt reply, " But they'll be back here by and by ; They wish you well, sirs, step inside ; Till then you can with us, abide ; v/ - - na \i _ Antr 'mnnnr f nPtrt ■\j\j\ji jwu SI Viv i,i.na u»j --, — — ^ *• Par more is than 'mong common men ; " For many of them never hear * A gospel sermon all the year. s/ 15 " Misunderstanding this, I think, << They surely meant it not a hint, « That they themselves could preach without u?, << Tt can't be possible they doubt us ! "It seems indeed most wonderous strange, " Leaders did not these things arrange. In wondering thus whole hours were spent, While greater grew the discontent ; When patience worn out by delay, One said, *' I'll preach not hear. to day: " Tis blasphemy of this totTunK, " Men stuffd brim full of meat and drink ! " To speak the sentiments thats mine " 'Twere pearls casting out to swine *' Had we but caught them here while sober, " I'd preach from July till October, << I love them in my heart, and would '' Do all in reason for their good ; . '< But though hard feelings should arise, ;' ** I cannot make the sacrifice. This mortified the speaker said, And instantly his exit made. Hark ! now we hear the beating drum, While crowds tumultuous shout, They come ! And down the road-side, through the trees. See banners hovering on the breeze. And children pleas'd, exclaim in wonder, ^^ " Hear now these drums, like distant thunder. And now King William's representer In Charleston— its very centre — Spoke with a marshal's high command, And brought his phalanx to a stand. Some with bowed knee, uncovered head, Obeisance gave to him who led ; And some when they his glory saw. Behind their comrades stood iu awe — Fill'd with Satanic inspiration. The leader made a short oration :— <« Now, gentlemen, I 'H tell you why *^ We stopt not here on passing by ; " Firstly: you know the day was wtt, " And shelter no where could we get — ** And lastly, sirs, I ' ve understood ; <* From sources that I know are good, 1(5 <* Those men us slanderous would attack^ <* As a low worthless rowdy pack ; « As drunken debauchees complete, " As varlets Iritering on the street ; *' And not as men of good repute, "True Orangemen whom none dispute, " Above unworthy actions mean ; " So now wfe'll play God save the Q^ueen—' " Give three cheers f orihsr, and when done, ** fcfhall to our homes at once return." Collecting then his wind and brass, Three times he bray'd, like Balaam's ass. This signal given, they were di.'^miss'd, When some went home as leader wish'd : But some, regardless, gay and frisky, Remain'd to try the strength of whiskey. Oh modest, worthy, gracious Queen ! Could you in Charston have been, You'd been constrained with joy to smile, To see such loyal sons in file. Kone can rekmdle Smithjield''s Jl^me, While these our liberties maintain ; Who dare invade our pure religion, While stands this moral righteous legion. How pleas'd would been the royal ear, To hear each loyal chanticiear, Kepeating ever and anon, " God save the Queen,"; — a cuckoo song. Day from the east began to fade, As ended was this great parade. The leader worn, bedaub' d with mire> For home in Alton did retire, His heart rejoicing as he sped, That he sueh valiant troops had led. Though he'd been hero of Cawnpore, He could not well have triumphed more. He (Nick inspired him) did exult ^O'er preachers foil'd, and the result^ {Soliloquizing in his glory. Oft told himself the wond'rous story. He reached his home, his sWord laid down> And, taking off his Orange gown.

To meet his friends in Charleston — His loyal sons, who in devotion, Damnation drink, as deep as ocean. Thick darkness, with o'er-mantling shroud, Had screen'd Irom public view the crowd, That in a bar-room sat delighted, To Nick, our Queen, and Bacchus plighted. When silently a ghastly form. Was seen swift-dashing through the storm : As arrows from a bow well bent, Straight to the tavern door he went. Sly rais'd the latch, and slip'd within, To join the revelry and din. His eye-balls gleam'd a perfect glare-^ His ghastly form, long, thin and spare ; Arch'd o'er his mouth a great mustache, A tail long as a coachman's lash ; A grim protruding nose and chin. And teeth exposed by horrid grin. Was on his head, a pair of horns. Such as a yearling stot adorns, On tops of which were ribbands tied; That would his politics decide : The scarlet cloak the leader wore. With martial pride, all day before ; Likewise the blood-red rusty suord, That onceTTing WtttlMrs'leTr'SffSred, Fo^"aarrii*girfem^^M^iH!i^^ His worship too that night was wearing j His horns, his hoofs, his sooty phiz, At once tells who the stranger is. Some give the hand of welcome to him, While others own they scarcely know himj Some doff their hats with maniy grace — All own him monarch of the place. Say they could serve him without shame. If he would only change his name. v Behind a cask he takes his stand. By vested power thus gives command, — " Come now, my heroes, gather ronnd me, " " Till with orations I astound ye. "To me.I trust you'll all be civil, " For I your father arn, the devil ; 18 " And though no right I have to preach, " I privileged am to make a speech. " (>ome list, as I repeat once more, " Heroic deeds yo ve done of yore. " But landlord pass your brandy sling-, "'Twill clenr our heads ere we begin. " You landlords can, by gin and toddy, " Aesist me more than any b(jdy. His audience bv iheso words excited, Cheer'd him, and clapp'd their hands delighted, *' 'Tie well to have you ruling o'er us, " Dedad your just the speaker for us ! Then JSatan — for indeed 'twas he — Encouraged, rose deliberately: Said " Children, boon companions dear, ** Attentive lend to me an ear: Nothing gives me more delight, Thau to address you here to-night, Since sixteen ninety, I myself Have never seen a Glorious Twelfth, Or holiday of any kind, 8 pent more according to my mind. Ere rose the sun, this blessed morn, I left my brimstone cell forlorn; The worst of fears my bosom swell'd. When I these preachers* schemes beheld ; Their boldest thought and public aim. Were in this place to stop my reign. But after all, the day's been glorious. We stand above our foes victorious. When I in retrospect look back Upon old Time's illustrious track, The deeds of Orangemen stand bright, As Luna in the arch of night. My brave Canadian Orange wights Have heroes been in many fights ; But more especially have they done Great things for me in Chare Is ton — How at town meetings and elections, When Radicals, from all directions, Came quietly round the poles to vote, li^ou ruthless took them by the throat. Or with a cudgel, slave, or stick, Performed a part that pleases JVkJc, ' ^ 5d, * 19 i^ot only here, but other p. aces, How I remember Churc hviUe Races!* How cunning' was*t^ATf^cKme*3mse3^ By which the rebels were surprised; They unpuspecting, nevr r thought, l''or what that load of clubs was brought, Till Orangemen with whoop and yell, With murd'rous aim upon them fell; Faith, that day they got a lesson, • A& should have brought them to concession. The gntiant chiefB who that day led, Now silent lie amon^ the dead*; The thread of life being cut, I sent them Where radicals shall ne'er torment them. And does it not give joy to think. In Montreal the parliament, ('Tis solemn truth,not mere assertion^ Was burnt by them through mere diversion! Thftnews was blazed abroad, none hid it, Yet no one dared to say — You did it ! Permit me to a moment dwell, • On heroes still alive and well. And may their virtues great and ample, Be your motto and example. The Captain of the Egg Brigade,!
