Satan and the Women.

Mahommed relates the following story,
as an authenic and veritable piece Of tradi'
ton, illustrative of the fact that satan
has duties to perform in the world, and he
was never known TO be idle or neglect
them viz:
In the day Of Nahommed, there was an
Arab who had very pretty wife. Satar
transformed himself into so accurate like
ness of her husband, that she could not
for the life of her Tell which of them was
her husband. Both claimed her, !. e., the
the real husband and satan in bis likeness
The case excited much interest in the
neighborhool; but no solution Of the diff
Guilty could be obtained. At length he
case was brought before His Majesty, the
Prophet, for solution. Mahommed, aftel
a little reflection held up certain earthen
pot, in bis right hand, with spout like a
tea-kettIe and said to them both
IN ow, whichever is the real husband
will enter this vessel by the spout, and
thus establishes his claim to the women. T"
Satan having more capacity in that way
than lhe Arab OF real flesh and bones, en-
tered at once into the teapot as suggested.
The moment he entered Mahommed clos
ed the top Of the spout, and kept him shut
in.
But after Mahommed had kept His
ExcelienOy shut up for few days in that
earthen pot, it was ascertained that the
world was getting rong in its machinery
Mahommed was, therefore, constrained
to let satan ont Of his confinement, to take
his necessary place in the management o
the affairs of the world but before restor-
ing him to his liberty again Mahommed
extorted solemn promise from him that be
would never trouble the "fair sex" any more
but confine himself 10 what he could dc
among the male sex"
