Satan, n. One of the Creator's lamentable mistakes, repented in sashcloth and axes. Being instated as an arch angel, Satan made himself multifariously objectionable and was finally expelled from Heaven. Half-way in his descent he paused, bent his head in thought a moment and at last went back. "There is one favor that I should like to ask," said he. "Name it." "Man, I understand, is about to be created. He will need laws." "What, wretch! you his appointed adversary, charged from the dawn of eternity with hatred of his soul - you ask for the right you make his laws?" "Pardon; what I have to ask is that he be permitted to make them himself." It was so ordered.
