SATAN NEVER DIsruRBs Moham.
med relates the following story us an authentic
and veritable piece of tradition, illustrative of
the fact that Satan has duties to perform in
the world, and he was never known TO be idle
and neglect them
In the days Of Mohamed there was an Arab
who had u very pretty wife Satan transformed
himself into so exact and accurate a likeness OF
her husband, that she could not, for the life OF
her, tell which of the two was her husband.
Both claimed hcr-the real husband and Sa-
tan in his likeness
The case excited much attention in the neigh
borhood, but no solution OF the difficulty could
be obtained. At length the case was brought
before his majesty the prophet for solution.
Mohammcd after q little reflection, held up a
certain earthen pot in his right hand, with a
spout like a teapot, and said to them both
"Now, whichever is the real husband, will
enter this vessel by the spout, end thus cstab,
lish his claim to the woman"
Satan, having more capacity in that way
than the Arab of real flesh and bones, entered
at once into the teapot, as suggested. The
moment he entered, Mohammed closed the top
of the pot, and kept him shut in. BY the time
Mohammed had kept his excellency shut up
for a few days in that carthcn pot, it WAS as
ceTtained that the world was getting wrong in
its machinery. Mohammed was, therefore, con
strained to let Satan out from his place Of con
iinement, to take bis necessary place in tht
management Of the world but before restor
ing him to his liberty again, Mohummcd cX
torted a solemn promise from him that he
would never trouble the fair sex any more, bu,
coniine himself to what be could do among tho
male sex.

But while all complain no one proposes n

This is one and not the greatest of abuses
which interposc to prevent the execution OF
criminal justice but does it not show the ex.
istence of lack OF honesty on the part of o
class of men who exercise more influence upon
the community than any other? 1t is not pos
sble that truly honest moral tone should
pervade society while we wink at one kind of
impropriety and punish another. Justice is a
mockery, and will continue to be such, while
the present practice of the law continues. We
must have code Of morals and tone Of pop.
nlar sentiment, based upon justice humanity
AID truth, without GINNING trick to screen the
wealthy and punish the unfortunate and neg
lected, or we cannot expect any real improve,
ment. Our whole system is infected; it is dis
eased at the hear. and all ts limbs are gang.
