And had the charges been even true Christian chart

the deed and the dead. Being, however, false ana
malicious, II that Is the result OF teaching from

The American press never gave nobler proof OF
its high mission than In its utter denunciation OF the
libels and their mercenary publication; and from
this day forth no vrtuous matrOn no chaste daugn-
ter, no honest man should support the Atlantic
Monthly, for now TO have 1t in their homes will stain
their own regulations, az supporting the most infa-
nous and malignant bels in the history OF the liv-
ing or the dead Throughout England and Europe

Her Majesty housed for years in her own palace an
ncestuSas and adulterous wife TO publish that the
tuOus connection with his married sister, Mrs. Har
rlet Beecner Stowe, and also that dark "cnild of
SIM was born OF that union, would be equally true
as u the scandalous libel upon George Lord Byron
and his sister, Lady Augusta. In fact, and
to be humorous for moment-ior t even
would be nearer the truth with the Beecher brother
and sister; Tor some twenty years since there was
believed to be notorious connection between
fundamentally. OF course; and the offspring created
thereirom was actually brought into the world, and
