ALiar's victory.

The fact that Detroiters are long

again cxcmplifed yesterday. One
of the dozen passengers on a Wood

that it was an awful snow storm, and
that he never saw so much snow on
the ground before.

Adams First wie's Royonge.,


This is the old Hebrew cabalistic
legend of Lilith, the first wife of
Adam, rs told by NJ. D, Conway, in
his lecture of the devil "shc was
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 was crcatod-made
to order, so to spoak-or one Of Adj
ans ribs. Then the golden-hairod
Lilith-jcalous, cnraged, pining for
her first homo in Parsdiso-cntcrcd
in the form of u serpent, crept into
the garden of Eden, and tempted
Adam and Eve to their destruction.
And, from that day to this, Lilith, a
cold, passionlcss beauty, with golden
hair, has roamod up and down the
earth, sharing the sons Of Adam, and
destroying them, You may always
know her dead victims, for, whenev-
or n man has been destroyed by tho
hands of Lilith, YOU will always find

"There's no telling when mans
sins may show themselves. Outlines
they do so just when you are not look
ing for them" These words brought
to mind few circumstances which
transpired within our notice, "Truth
is stranger than fiction"
In the quiet, unprctending town
of B-dwelt the hero of our story,
a gentleman of perhaps twenty-eight
or thirty summers. a frank, open
countenance and pleasing address,
added to steady habits of industry
and seeminglyunswcrving allegiance
to the church of his choice, having
already been promoted to an official
position therein, served to win the
confidence and esteem of the godly
inhabitants.
In years agonc, when the crimson
banners of war were unfurled, he had
nobly responded to the call of our
beloved country. Though a mere
boy he left all the sacred associations
of home and imporilled his life on
the field of carnage, if perchanco his
fragment Of strength might hasten
the hour when the powerful foe
Shyulel he vruqulsneSl, SHdfCne glori-
Gus stars and stripes wave trium-
phantly. a mother mid tears and
prayers witnessed the departure of
her idolized son, her comfort and
pride. Cannot you trust me in the
hands of God, Mother?" All! they
were the words that silenced opposi-
ton, but her heart had ever after
borne silently its grief.
TIME sped swift-wingcd, and the
roseate dawn of Peace was ushcred
in-the waves Of blood were stayed,
not, however, until the gentle chris,
ti0n mother slept beneath the grass
es, and her dying lips had uttered
the words too late, too late Yes!
never again should her eyes behold
the image of her bcloved-never vel
come home the gallant young defen-
der.
With the damps of death already
on her pallid brow, it was hers to
wing to heaven Il prayer and leave
for him parting blessing.
