was sin those days inexorahly stern. Tue
partner of her sin6was lbeheaded; the erring
wife was drowned. The ,sseeath of Francis
Downward is set down in 1870. No more

gap in the city registers that year. By
neither of his four marriages had Downward
any children. But for the magical, vet, ss It
might be said, the merely chance touch OF

character of neither of which, we may hope,
it will in the future willingly lose sight.

The Creation of Woman.

A prince once said to Rabbi Gam

surprised Adam in his sleep, and stole
a rib from him. =
The rabbits daughter overheard this
speech, and whispered word or two
in her fathers ear asking his permis-
sion to answer this singular opinion
herself. He gave his consent.
The girl stepped forward, and feign
ing terror aud dismay, threw her arms
aloft in supplication and cried out.
al"My liege! my liege! Justice! Re

"Wbat has happened2" asked the
princer'
GA wicked theft has taken place! she
replied "a robber has crept secretly
into our house, and carried away g
silver goblet and left gold one in the
place of it.
''What an upright thief" exclaimed
the prince. '.Would that such rob

Adam, and gave beautiful wife in

An exchange says that there is
nothing more unpleasant when you

for little boy to run up and call you

it is all the more unpleasant If the
little boy happens to speak the truth,
