The MUIE.-(After Upper, and not very long
after him.)
Who have seen q mule die?
Hath the vision of man eneompassed one upon
his last legs about to keel over?
Nixy my boy, for the mule is immortal
He liveth thousand years, and braceth up, and
taketh fresh hold for twenty thousand,
Such is the vastness the grandeur, the greatness
of the animile. He is big thing
Why is he thing that is big?
Thou fool go to the ant and consider
He is big because he is not little and
Bigness differeth from littleness even as the flea
differeth from the barndoor
Be wise, oh man, pad out thy skull with knowl-
edge, and learn wisdom of me, the poet of
the obvious.
A CONSCIENTIOUS JURY.-An old story is well
OFa
as follows IS n jury in Alabama had been i'm
paneled in a case of MIR. johnson, charged
with killing his wife. The evidence was positive
and conclusive, leaving no doubt of his speedy
conviction. To the amazement of all, the jury,
after a short absence, returned verdict, Guilty
of horse-stealing.' The judge, astonished, asked
an explanation, stating that the Indictment was
not for horse-stealing; but manslaughter. The
foreman, with his hand upon huge law-book,
and with an amusingly dignifed air, informed
the court that 1T was not case OF manslaughter,
but womansIaughter, for which the law made no
provision, but being satisfied the man deserved
to be hanged, they had brought in verdict of
horse-stealipg, which, in that country, would be
sure to hang him.
This is the old Hebrew cabalistic legend of
Lilith, the first wife of Adam, as told by NJ. d.
Conway, in his lecture on the devil /; 90 She
was a cold, passionless. splendid beauty, with
wondrous golden hair. She was created Adams
equal in every respect, and, therefore, properly
enough, refused to obey him. For this she was
driven from the Garden of Eden, and Eve
created-made to order, to speak-of one of
Adams ribs. Then the golden-haired Lilith,
Jealous, enraged, pining for her first homo in
Paradise, entered in the form of serpent,
crept into the Garden of Eden, and tempted
Adam and Eve to their destruction. And from
that day to this, Lilith, a cold, passionless
beauty, with golden hair, has roamed up and
down the earth, snaring the of Adam, and
destroying them. You may always know her
dead victims, for, whenever man has been
DESTROYED by the hands of Lilith, you Will al
ways find a single golden hair wrapped tight
around his lifeless heart. To this day many
and many q son of Adam is lured to death and
ruin from having the golden hair of a woman
wrapped too tight around his heart
