power of The air, is at ork-that he has been let
loose once more fom his bonds, and is going up
and down in the earth. Us first rap was al the
gate of Eden. After that, lie appeared in various
places in the old world and now he has visited The
sons of men again This Is the sum and substance
of The reverend genlleman's opinion.
Now, all this is, 10 doubt, fair explanation of
all these knockings The de I'll has rot among

ism, Fourierism, pantheism, ,gnetism, and every
other ism-sometimes making money and SOM
times making love, according to circumstances
and tastes. Even chairs and tables make money
and make love; draw dollars, and rush toward
each other with the strangest apparent fondness
But the devil will be to pay bye and bye He has
never been known TO assist the pockets of people,
without calling for his share, sooner or later. We
agree with the Rev. DR.. Phelps, therefore, that
people who entertain Satan are in danger-and
we begin 10 think that the time has come for
this Christian community to save Mrs. Fox, and
the girls, if possible. They are selling Them
selves, at the rate of fifty dollars day, 10 Abad-
don-and a bad one he is-who will have no mer-

He should have the cold shoulder turned upon
him al once. People who would look into the
future encourage him, and give him every pos
ible chance for upsetting and breaking things,
and for hitting many hard knocks He is,
no doubt. a very funny devil, and sadly given TO

make one on earth. They actually performing
G0eihes Faust and the evil one is personating
Mephisiophiles, we believe, for the hundredth
time. When the last scene comes, the dramatis
p9soaa will have full dramatic justice meted to
them. Therefore, we think the Rev. DR.. merits
some testimonial for giving all fair warning.
If The Rev. DR.. Grswcld Andrew Jackson Davis,
and their poor dUpes, will turn players in the affair,
and help the drama on, why they must take the
consequence and stand their chance for closest
criticism upon their remarkable efforts. We are
waiting for the curtain 10 fall upon the scene,

The CABINET AND THE GALrHiN BUSINESS The
letter writer's in the service of the cabinet at Wash

before this. If il Can be shifted or indefinitely post

have accordingly given the cue TO their letter wr-

Cuba and other matters before the country The

succeeding. We would be sorry TO see the Cuba
affair in the hands Of the cabinet exclusively, and
il may be looked upon as a fortunate circumstance
that Congress is in session while il is going on

Bishop Hughes would scarcely expect from him
grstuitous instructions on the subject.
