Beecher. tho Satanic Parson, in Eng
land.
One Of the most beautiful stories OF Holy
Writ Is that OF the temptation of Jesus. ST.
Matthew tells US that Jesus was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness, and there the tempt
or came to him. but was repulsed and rebuked
"Again," says St. Matthew, "the Devil taketh
him up into an exceeding high mountain, and
sheweth him all the Kingdoms Of the world, and
the glory Of them, and saith unto him, All
these will give thee II thou wilt fall down
and worship me- Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan; for 1t Is written, Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve. Then the Devil leaveth him,
and, behold, angels came and ministered unto
him."
Nearly nineteen centuries after this wonder
full event we find this same Satan, in the form
of Brooklyn parson, troubling the world as
be troubled Jesus upon the mount. His tail
and bis horns are concealed beneath the appa-
rel of the period; but his Internal spirit is as
fusion, through the agency Of this Brooklyn
parson and other persons Of that stamp, in this
chosen land, which was once the most happy
tho most peaceful and the most powerful
upon the face Of the earth. Now, in.
carnated in the body of Beecher, he has crossed
the Atlantic and Is trying TO set all England
by the ears. Selfshly speaking, we wish him
success. While he Is busy there we may pos
sibly be able 10 repair damages here. Satan is

Mr. Beecher is true satanic parson His
Christianity IS a satanic humbug. His church
ers Of Satan. His disciples go to satanic
school. He offers them the political world and
the glory Of it if they will fall down and wor-
ship him and his master He is not, indeed,
the Dew himself That honor is reserved for
Wendell Phillips. But the Devil possesses
him, travels with him and actlates him. The
Devil bestows upon him that moving eloquence,
that astonishing command Of language, that
ability to raise row at any moment and in
any place, for which his admirers give him
80 much credit. This explains his superiority
as diplomat to the Chcvaliers Wikoff, Jewett
and Weed, and even to his Grace Archbishop
Hughes. These pcrsonages have been to
Europe; but they accomplished little or nothing,
because they did not have the Devil with them
Some OF them werc accompanied by Mammon,
others by Mummery; but none of them had the
real Devil Beecher undoubtedly has. He de-
tailed little imp Of Satan to manage his
weekly paper during his absence, and took the
genuine Lucifer as his travelling companion.
His advent In England was marked by an
earthquake. His FIRST speech produced moral
earthquake. If he does not involve the British
isles in somo tremendous disaster before his re-
turn 1t will be because the English are the most
lucky people upon the globe.
One of the daily organs of Satan in this city
ascribes to the satanic parson 'intense pas
sion," "marvellous power of illustration
and "great fexibility." These are ga
tanic qualities. The organ also describes
him as contending with ga raging sea"
Of opposition-"now soaring to overcome it,
now sinking to undermine it, now dashing
in its teeth" This is precisely the satanic
style Of warfare. We, in our kindness OF
heart have previously spoken of Parson
Beecher's pluck" II is satanic pluck, which
knows no fear because it has nothing to lose
and everything to gain. Milton praises Satan
for the same quality. The London Times says
that Beecber appealed to English selishness
II Is just this human weakness which Satan gene
rally plays upon, and this is the chord he at
tempted to touch when he offered Divinity all
the kingdoms Of this world. Nor are the fruits
Of Parson Beechers efforts unworthy of his
satanic inspiration. He and such as he have
wasted an ocean Of blood already in their hypo.

Desolate homes, widows tears, the cries of poor
orphans and the lamentations Of mothers will

our shores They are his triumphs. He has
assisted in causing them. Nay, he has done
so under the guise Of religion and philanthropy,
and has thus added new leaf to his blood.
stained laurels Every one may serve Satan II
hs will; but It Is not every one who can serve
him - Parson Beecher does, in the livery Of
God.
Still, in spite Of all this, We have hopes that
the visit Of the satanic parson to England will
help the Union cause. Indeed this could
scarcely be otherwise; for, BY . providential
arrangement, Satan continually trips himself
up; his schemes work against each other, and
the evil he does In one place cosnteracts the
evil In another. So II will doubtless be with
Parson Bescher. His visit has injured England
great deal, and may breed revolutions there;
but oil this will prevent foreign Intervention In
our affairs, and allow Us to settle matters in
