I'm the Pulpit Again.

The notorious Kalloch, whose adventure
with the LADY in black, in the pious city of
Boston, excited so much attention some time
ago, is again figuring in the pulpit which he
used as stepping stone to profigacy.
Soon after the adventure which raised so
great a muss. the Reverend Aminidab Sleek
departed, amid the tears and lamentations of
the weaker and more credulous members of
his congregation, for Kansas. He determined
To leave the pulpit for the bar. To the new
Land of Promise Kalloch journeycd. was adj
mitted to the bar. and settled at last in
remote village of the Territory, looking out
it was said for Congressional honors But
aspirants for the same lofty position thick
ened around him. and one by one his dreams
of ambition vanished. When it is remembered
that this man was niOsy "freedUm shrieker"
who went about in New England denouncing
the South and weeping crocodile tears over
the fate of bleeding Kansas was it not
gross ingratitude in the negro-worshipers of
the Territory TO give the cold shoulder to so
renowned champion?
The new dscip pie of the green bag made up
his mind to return to his first love, (the pull
pitt and accordingly posted off to Boston,
signified his willingness to serve his former
congregation, and was invited to do so by
large majority of the saints. There are more
of New England than in the wilderness of
Kansas: and this pious reflection may have
spurred the great Kalloch to get back as
speedily as possible to fremont Temple
Now when this divine was tried for
adultery in that city, wcll-known persons
swOre distinctly that they were eyewitness
of the otiense with which he was charged.
Against man of less influence and fewer
hackers, the evidence would have been con-
elusive. Yet he cOntrived to escape. and
was met with such exhibitions of sympathy
on the part OF grave men and refined females,
as to excite the wonder of all truly good
people. If such men are to be put forward
as the representatives of that holy Christian
ity which good men alone should teach, let
those who do this wrong not be astoniShed if
their professions are dsregarded and laughed
to scorn by the better classes.
To the honor of the Southern pulpit be il
said that no man of the Kalloch stripe could
profane the sanctuary moment. Joseph
Surface, very great rascal in a sly way,
ruined his reputation by his adventure with
Lady Teazle. That lady, as the little
French milliner," did the business for the
smooth-lppad hypocrite. But the preacher
of fremont Temple went far ahead of Joseph;
in fact Joseph was saint with his ''little
French milliner," to the Boston preacher
with the lady in black" Yet with us one
Surface adventure would expel minister
from the Church, and one KallOch adventure
would cause his expulsion from the society of
all respectable mel and women.
But thiags are managed differently at the
North. Well, we suppose the pious folks of
that section have right to do so. They are
welcome to the Cheevers, Beechers, Kallochs.
and the whole brood of brazen politico-reli-
gious parsons.
