IRON Use Ne28fufk Evening fpSt.
a queer pamphlet has appeared in London I'M
def the title Of MY wn Phiology.n The authors
name is a. Tuier; the publishers, Truhner ii Co.
The English Journals profess to be in doubt
whether the writer is in earnest Or not; bat
the impression seems to be that he is a
capital joker, His pathological aisquisitions are
certainly his aoWn' mo one else will claim them,
lew will believe them, but every body will laugh
at them. For instance, he says: 'sWe learn from
the bible that at one time one language .peryaded
the earth; granting this, are free to look into
any country we choose for the meaning of any
particular sound.
The name Adam he conceiyes to have been a
sort of titular designation gi7en to race of early
potentates; and Is Verstegen says that the Eng
lish Saxon was spoken by ADAM so that GER
tainlE We ind many words in plain English that
were in use at the time Of ADAM The fruit
eaten by 1--we was the ananas or pine, and there
fore Asaus and 2eiiats We're names given to Adam
and Eve. Anas is also the name archaeological
science EiFessto Inc gems OF which swans. geese
and ducks are members; eonsed uently swan is a
symbol Of Anas, or Adam. Adam took some star
as q sign of his family, and sign and cygnus
"a SWAMI are evidently Identical. sfUr' is a Per.
sian word sgnffying man; and Uranus, the man
Auas, u obviously Adam.
Having thus disposed of Adam, he takes up
Eve. The serpent, he SAYS, was called 'sob'' in
some Eastern language; therefore, as Eve talked
to him, she was subjected TO z oh ouuv or the
reproach Of serpent talk woo IS another
Eastern term Tor serpent, and the serpent
sswoo-ed Eve. Adam. too, is Identical with Jul
piter, Pluto, Persons, Janus, Minus, azoroaster
and others, Just as Eve was Astoria, Astarte, We.
Sheba. As Adam adopted star as his sign he
sof course named Astre, that word meaning a
star; and evidently Eve, his wife, adopted the
feminine form of the name Astoria.
By altering, a few inconvenienf letters Zoroaster
and Adam are proved to be the same; and = Sir
ID. RaWlinson says that Ioroasters sister was
Astoria, and tits easy Cd to see that Astoria was
Astre. Vesta: here, by tunefu ehromatic inter-
yals one name glide into another, and makes it
plain that Eve and Astoria are one.o
More than this: MIR. Tuder adopts a sort of OAR
winian theory, by which an oyster is developed
into a woman-thus: $ Eve, Eve Astre, Foster,
oyster. If confirmation is needed, did not the
aneients give the scaliop-shell TO Venus, and has
it not been shown that Eve and Venus are the
same2 and is not a scallop a sort Of oyster?'i
He then turns bis thoughts to the spirit of evil:
I The tirst Of figures and the first of characters
Adam may be called Shall we do Eve the Justice
to say that in her estimation he stood & A l., and
that ne was first in her affection notwithstanding
her seduction By the serpent If this were the
case, the serpent could have been only second to
ADAM II he had any place in her affection at all.
Granting HIM the second place, and giving him a
number, the obvious number for him is N 70. 2, the
double Of No. /. This was undoubtedly NUM-
Der OF the tranRgressor, as No. is occasionally
expressed as the word deuce, and deuce is a gen
teel name for the devil. And the figure of No.
is nnquestionably figure Of the serpent. have
seen the eopra capello, or hooded snake, sitting
In that position ~
Leaving the human race and the devil, the
writer points his aeetious pen towards the animal
creation, and tells us that bees talk Irish:
Architects and ma thematicians these prolific
insects are allowed to be, hut they are not gen
orally spoken Of as linguists, nevertheless they
can speak, namely, two words A couple OF
days before the swarm issues from thefhiye let the
tbesn1aster listen attentively to the voice within,
and his ears viii catch the words plainly artcu-
lated, sHooith foig, fhooith foig' 'hooith foig,
sh9oith foig. It's the voice of the queen, giving
the route 10 the erngrants. Be OF, be Of she
cries, ifnot in plain English, in very distinct Irish

These are fair specimens Of the witticisms Of
The author, whose Jokes have puzzled the English
newspapers.
