The man and the Vine.

In one Of the early years after the Gre
alton Of the world, man began to plant a
sine, and Satan saw it, and drew near.
"What plantest thou, son of the earth!''
said the prince of demons.
"a vine" replied the man.
What are the properties of this trecl''
"Oh, its fruit is pleasant to look at, and
delicious to the tast; from it is produced n
liquid which fills the heart with joy.n
"Well, since wine makes glad tho heart
of man, l will help thee plaut this tree"
So saying, the demon brought lamb
and slew it, then a lion, then an ape, and
last Of all pig killing each in succession,
and moistening the roots Of the vine with
the blood.
Thence it has happened ever since,
that when n man drinks small portion
OF wine. he becomes gentle and carsssin q
as n lamb; after a little more strong and
bold as a lion; when he takes still more,
he resembles an ape in his folly, and alb
surb and mischievous actions; but when
he has swallowed the liquid to excess, lie
is like pig wallowing in the mire.
