Major Noah complains agood deal of his evil des.
tiny in having been born some two hundred years
after Milton; else, he thinks, he could have sung
immortal, as that of the bard who meditated his
theme in the shades of Valombrosa. But ceasing
his complaint the Major takes up the :" hrst wed.
ding" he calls it, and thus pleasant and philo-
sophically discOurces from his text The difficulty
suggested in the concluding paragraph is OF per-
picking nature; perhaps hewil solve 1t in his next
number:

things to us, in spite of scrptural truth. Adam
