This IL very pretty poem oy Tom

will call it sublime, original, exquisite,
Sc. although it sbounds with
u.erilities, and although the TALMuD
could have supplied thousand Fiener
subjects. There Is no profanity, now
ever.in the argument, which iseonceiV-
ed in the following passage from scrip
ture.-" 1t happened after the sons oi
men had multiplied in those days, that
daughters were born to them elegant
and beauti.ui and when tie 1ngets,
