A Granger dreamed that he died; he went straight to the spirit world; and knocked at the gate of the New Jerusalem, and it was opened unto him. The books were opened; he was asked: "Did you ever belong to any secret society?" to which he replied, "I did , to the Grangers." "Then, sir, you cannot be admitted; depart." He then went to the door of the bottomless pit, where the same questions were asked him by the Devil, and again he was told to depart. After he had gone a little way off he was accosted by the homely ruler of the pit, when the following propositions were made: "Stranger," said Nick, "I will not admit you here; they don't want you in heaven; but I will sell you two hundred barrels of brimstone for cash, ten per cent off, with no agents or middlemen, and you can set up a little hell of your own." Of course he did'nt.
