SAMsoN's RIDDLE Samson was on
an errand of love. He was interrupted
by a lion, which he slew; for love is
stronger than any lion. He gained his
suit; but alas! everything went by con-
traries thereafter. The woman whose
love was first sweeter to him than honey,
BETRAYED him. She was his lion. Where
as, on his way to her he found that the
bees had possession of the real lion $
carcass, and had filled it with honey.
And SO, in the end, the lion was better
to him than his wife. But how full of
suggestions is this incident Who would
have looked f.r honey behind lions
paws7 While he was yet roaring and
striking at Samson, there seemed very
little likelihood of his finding honcytd
meal in him. But if lions bravely slain
Weld such food, let them become EN-
blems! The bee signifies industry
among all nations; and honey is the yer.
ideal of sweetness. To- day war is upo'
