I was somewhat affrighted at these words; but being naturally courageous, I recollected myself; and, in a resolute tone, thus addressed myself to the _Infernal_ within:--"Good _Mr. Devil!_ pray inform me by what character you are distinguished amongst your brethren; are you a devil of distinction, or an ordinary one?"

I replied, "You may be the daemon which we call Jonatkins." "No," replied the spirit; "he is the tormentor of the Livery." "Are you then Turtle?" I exclaimed. "Fie!" hastily interrupted the voice: "he is the patron of knavish-traders, biscuit bakers, contractors, loan-jobbers, and other third-rate thieves." "Dear devil!--it may be you are Sid.?" "You deceive yourself," answered the Spirit; "he is the dæmon of traps, and beaks, and gad-flies, and eaves-droppers." "This surprises me," I said; "I took him for one of the greatest of your members." "He is one of the least," replied the dæmon; "you have no true notion of our hell." "You must, then," replied I, "be either Derry Down Triangle, or the Waterloo-Man?" "Oh! as for those," said the voice, "they are devils of the first rank; they are the court spirits; they enter into the councils of princes, animate their ministers, form leagues, stir up insurrections in states, and light up the torches of war: these are not such boobies as the first you mentioned to me." "Ah! tell me, I entreat you," said I, "what post has Diabolus Regis?" "He is the froth of the law, the mere foam of the bar," replied the {218} [Illustration: 226] ANTI-SOCIETY ASSOCIATION.
