cion of spark of a redeeming guilty in bis
composition. Sitting there in deep thought
and almost despairing of success peculiar
sound of step smote upon his ear; looking
up he beheld the form Of man approach
ing; in moment the expression of his
whole features changed a lurid brilliaDcy
lit his eyes, and that sardonic diabolical
grin so peculiar to him spread over face
from ear to ear.
There there on the street of Chicago
stood the object of his nIiasion. Hence
forth I'll be his shadow and his tutor, in
his dreams he shall see himself the most
famous man in the nation applauded for
an act, in the performance of which it
will take years of my best powers of hy
pocrisy to. instruct him, and its design and
execution must have no parable. Yesl
this is the proper subject, this very Gui-

In 1882 once again was Satans high
council of the lower regions summoned tor
a conference of high import. His Satanic
Majesty occupying the throne eff Hades, at
his right his Prime Minister Beelzebub,
on his left the lesser Chiefs of Pluto.
Beelzebub was holding in his right claws
an object bound hand and foot; this OBJ
jsct caused a certain palor to spread over
the features of the imps OF hell. Satan
himself being visibly agitated at the sight
of the bound monster, and it was some
minutes before he could collect his thoughts
enough to speak then thus:
"Beelzebub, thou hast overreached thy
self; the monster thou holdest, and who is
bound in chains forged in the depths of
hell, whom people on yonder upper world
call Guteau is too foul and dangerous to
be admitted here Cans't not thou see
notoriety imprinted in every lineament of
his most despicable composition2 Would
he not for notoriety with all the powers of
Hypocrisy in his more than devilish ma
ture beguile-and betray usl Where in
all the vastness of our mighty realm Is
there such consumate hypocrite9 Not
even me, nor you, Beelzebub, can match
him. Were we to turn him loose, not one
of Gehenna's Devils would 'scape corrup-
ton through his power; not able
to assassinate he'd drive us from our
throne by lies--the slickest, smoothest and
slimiest lies that Hades ever dreamed Of.
See that thou keepeSt him gagged and as
thou valuest thine high Office and our
friendship let not whisper escape his
treacherous mouth, and further would we
charge thee to call all the wisdom of our
realm to council, thyself preside to pass
upon that foulest wretch his doom" y.
@Satan on his throne of Hades; Enter
Beelzebub:
"Most High and Mighty Prince of Dark
ness, Dread Sovereign of the Neither
World In obedience to thy dread com
mand, place before thee the result of the
deliberation of the wisdom of thy mighty
kingdom. Dos't remember when 0mnipo-
tence, whose name we fear, and dread, aud
hate, most ruthlessly drove us from the
realms of bliss, and forced us here; He
put a boundary to thy realm on every side
save one, the nether9 There is bit of
territory some thousands of millions of
miles in compass, set by decree apart for
certain purposes | need not mention, on
the confines of thy realm, it lies toward the
southwest condemned by that dread power
to silence everlasting. Whomsoever thou
condemnest thither may hear and see all
things within the realms of bliss, but can
not speak or have the power to move, nor
Gods nor devils can ever enter there, nor
hear nor know him ever after, with thy
permission Sire of Darkness, I'll take Gui-
teau thither."
Satan" 'Tis we'll You have my leave,
take him, tighten his shackles, pitch him
out of hell into that everlasting solitude
from sight aud memory of man and
spirits. MENscHENFRuND.
