pages from the Diary kept by our mother
Eve. recording many singular domestic in
cidents and indicating that her life was not
unlike that of many of her daughters In the
present age of the world. This Diary, it
will be perceived, does not accord with or
support Genesis, but relates and explains
many matters upon which that Book Is al
together silent: Who was Gains wife,
whence came she, how long did he court
her, who married them. did his father and
mother give him and his bride an Unfair. are
all questions which have been frequently
asked, but never answered until this Diary
solved all these mysteries and many more,
including history Of the domestic, mari
til and social relations of Abel and many
distinguished Antf-Deluvians.
Lord Byron in bis Tradegy of Cain, says
that the came Of Gains wife was Adah, and
that of Abel Zillah, while some assert that
the wife of the former was Mahala; and that
of the latter was Thirza, but Eve tells us
that Gains wife was named Betsy Jane, and
that of Abel Sally Ann, and she must Ger
tainly have known the full entities OF her
daughter-in- laws.
Marriage (Mr. Editor you know is the
mother of the world, it keeps order. pre-
serves society, exercises many virtues, pro-
notes the interest of mankind, it combines
the labor of love with the delcacy of friend
ship-it is full of joys and sorrows, of des-
pondency and hope-it is a Divine Institu-
ton and Ordinance. See the 2lst and 22d
verses of the % chapter of Genesis, which
reads as follows:
''2l. And the Lord caused deep sleep to
fall upon Adam and he slept; and he took
one Of his ribs and closed up the flesh in
stead thereof
"22. And the rib which the Lord God
had taken from man, made he a woman and
brought her unto the man,
Now the common belief is that when
Adam awoke be found Eve costly and snug
ly ensconsed by him under his blanket, not
so, the 21st verse states God made her and
brought her unto Adam; Adam fell in love
with her at first sight, he claimed her by
PRE-EMPTIoN RIGHT, for he exclaimed in
the 23rd verse: "This is now bone of my
bone, and flesh of my fesh."-Adam felt
tho force and:truth of the old Distich:
Glove is a curious thing You know!
/; makes one feel all over So"
So we see God brought Eve to our COM
mon father-they stood up in the great
Temple of Nature, the Birds in Paradise
were the Choristers, God was the High
Priest, he married them; for he had declared
that { It was not good for man to be alone"
So Adam thought and so have his descend
ants, and man now would have been in the
fruition of eternal life and happiness, had
not
sold mother Eve an apple stole,
But ate it not alone,
She gave part to that dear soul,
OF whom she was the bone"
So marriage is of Divine origin, it is the
creator and preserver OF society. This Diary
shews that Cain and Abel were both legally
married. Moses, in Genesis, states of our
first parents: THAT they were both naked,
the man and his wife, and were not asham-
ed" Now Eve in her Diary gives US des-
cription Of her bridal robes Cor as the French
call it her TroussaO. IT'S true she had no
ample Crinoline or Skeleton Skirts, &C.,
nor was she in gems and garlands proudly
decked, she wore a white rose in her hair,
ssHer Robe was of purple rolled,
Attwilight in the West afar,
Twas tied with threads Of dawning gold,
And bu;ton'd with a sparkling star"
Adam was gardener, he wore long stock
ings and knee buckles, Csome curious person
may ask who knit them his unmentionables
were made of what is called Corduroy-the
presentation of his Bride was unexpected,
or doubtless he would have been drest in
his Sunday Clothes.
Adam not having mingled much in female
society, was rough, uncouth and unpublished
las the following incident shews-for upon
getting up from the Marriage Breakfast, he
humid the following verse, i'll the presence
of his wife:
II meier on that lip for moment have gazed,
But a thousand temptations beset me,
And / thought as the dear little rabies You
raised.
How delicious 'tworld be if you'd let me.'
The Hebrew which is the language OF this
Book, is written from right to the left, (and
is difficult, therefore, of rendition into that
of ours. } this mode of writing from right to
left accounts for so many Jews being left
handed.
The traditions from which Moses drew
his m aterial for the Book of Genesis, do our
first parents great injustice, as all who read
this Diary will be convinced, and which we
intend to translate as soon as we can.
