In this excerpt from herman melville's short story "the lightning-rod man," which three parts best support the view that the narrator equates the salesman with the devil? who has empowered you, you tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations? the hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives. in thunder as in sunshine, i stand at ease in the hands of my god. false negotiator, away! see, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens i read in the rainbow, that the deity will not, of purpose, make war on man's earth." "impious wretch! " foamed the stranger, blackening in the face as the rainbow beamed, "i will publish your infidel notions." the scowl grew blacker on his face; the indigo-circles enlarged round his eyes as the storm-rings round the midnight moon. he sprang upon me; his tri-forked thing at my heart. i seized it; i snapped it; i dashed it; i trod it; and dragging the dark lightning-king out of my door, flung his elbowed, copper scepter after him. but spite of my treatment, and spite of my dissuasive talk of him to my neighbors, the lightning-rod man still dwells in the land; still travels in storm-time, and drives a brave trade with the fears of man.

"woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
