Another Robbery.

Some time during Thursday night,
the store of Messrs. DeRossct 81 Co.,
on North Water street, was broken i'll
to and robbed OF eleven hams and
three pieces of 3lceting. The theft
entered 4 door on the alley, using
Il crowbar to make hole in the brick
wall, through which bent instrument
was used to lift tho bolts that fasten-
cd the door. 1t is supposed that the
party or parties come up to the wharf
in front of tho store IN 4 boat and
intended to make big haul, of bacon.
coffee, sheeting &c, but was evidotly
frightened off. They opened the front
door, came out, and quietly walked off
with their booty. A private watchman
near by heard them but did not leave
his beat.
The regular policeman on that beat
did 10 know anything of the transac-
ton.
VIII somo one please tell us Of what
! use are the policemen Of this city? They
certainly must be very inefficient set
of men. when robbers can drive
horses and carts up to store doors,
load at leisure and drive of, Hsc

good and true men on the police force,

GAINS WIFE.

Again we are assured that Gains
" ife waepre- Adamite, for he OBJ
tanned her in the LAND of Nod"
That, irdeed, is u revelation. The
text does not affirm that he otain-
ed her there. A careful reading
will convince any one of that. /
have already affirmed that "the
land of Nod" was not called before
but because Cain settled there. The
name itself points to this conclu-
sion, and such / believe Is general
ly admitted TO be the meaning of
the passage. The most obvious
understanding of the account is,
that he .ook his wife with him
into exile, or rather that she,
wOman-like, followed him i'm his
hard punishment, remembering
the fiat of Jehovah, "They shall
be one flesh" 1t cannot be de-
MED that she is int oduced to us
rather abruptly, and perhaps, a lit
tie unexpectedly, and we naturally
feel some curiosity about her orr
gin and would like to know fCain
married into respectable family.
But we look In vain, 0s far as the
Bible account is concerned, for any
other father and mother for her
than Adam and Eve. Surely she
could have no more honorable par
entaoe. Then let no one be horri-
fed If / should say she was
Gains own sister. There is nots
ing unreasonable in this, or incon-
sisient with the history. OF course,
what necessi Y then justified, we
rightly condemn. We would ex
pect that such a custom as the in
ter-niarriage Of the closely related
would die out slowly, even after
the cause of it had disappeared.
This is precisely what did occur,
certainly in Jewish history, very
probably among other nations.--
Even good father abraham mar
ried his half sister, and prince Am
non, royal David's son, loved his
beautiful sister, and she was of
opinion that the king would con-
sent 20 their marriage. Thus we
see how long the early customs Of
men fingered even among the peo-
pie under Gods special care and
instruction. Men may account for
this in any manner they please-I
may mention the fact and its bear
ing on the shadowy history OF
Gains wife to show that there is
not the slightest necessity for sup
posing her to be of pre- Adamite

Then shall the kingdom of Satan

The sons of men looked upon it,
and thought it beautiful to look
upon, and much to be desired to
make lads look big and manly. So
they put forth their hands and did
chew thereof. And some it made
sick, and others to vomit most
filthily. And it further came to
pass that those who chewed it be-
came weak and unmanly and said:
We are enslaved, and cannot cease
from chewing it. And the mouths
of all that were enslaved became
foul, and they wee siezed with
a violent splitting: and they did
spit even in ladies' parlors and
in the house of he Lord cf Hosts.
Aud the saints of the Most High
were greatly plagued thereby
And in the course of time 1t came
also TO pass that others snuffed it,
and they were taken suddenly
with Ats, and they did sneeze with
a great ard mighty sneeze, inas-
much that their eyes were filled
with tears and they did look ex-
ceedingly silly. And yet others
cunningly wrought the leaves into
rolls, and did set fire to- one end
thereof, and did look very grave
and calf-like; and the smoke of
their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever.
And the cultivation thereof be-
came "A great and mighty business
in the earth, and the merchant
men thereof waxed rich by
the commerce thereof And 10 it
came to pass that the saints of the
Most High defilcd themselves
herewith, even the poor, who
could no. buy shoes, nor bread nor
books for their little ones, spent
their money for it. And the Lord
was greatly displeased Herewith,
and said: Wherefore this waste (;
and why do these little enes lack
bread, shoes and books? Turn
now your fields into corn and
wheat, and put this evil thing far
from you; and De separate, and
defile not yourselves any more,and
| will bless you and cause my face
70 shine upon you.
But with one accord they all ex-
claimed 1--WE cannot cease from
chewing, surfing and putting; we
are slaves"
