THE JAPANESE ADAM AND Eve
With the letter and literature OF China
the japanese borrowed also the views ot
the creation current nmor the Chinese
but these they have adorned with legend,
so fancitul, that it is easy to distinguish
those portions which they originally re-
ceived from those of which they are tn,
authors. The Chinese, after tracing the
separation of the male and female prin.
ciples of nature, affirmed boldly that the
creation of man followed that OF the
earth, aud there they left him. This i,
too prosaic for the japanese, who believe
ss related by Mr.. Ptoundes, in his "Budg.
ct of japanese Notes." that our first pa
rents on being put down on the earth
started to make circuit of it, the man
turned to the left and the woman to the
right. When they met on the other side,
the woman spoke the first words uttered
upon earth. "Oh, JOY" she exclaimed,
'to meet a lovely man." But the man
was dspleased that the woman spoke first,
and insisted that the journey should be
repeated, and when ;hey again met, the
man said, "Oh, joy, to meet q lovely wo-
man." Thus was the creation of man
perfected. From this pair were descended
numerour progeny, among whom was
daughter named Teushoko, who was SO
annoyed at the repeated misconduct OF
one of her brother; that she took refuge
in the celestial cavern" and rolled Il
stone to the mouth of the cave to secure
her retreat. But the result of her self
inflicted imprisonment was to leave the
world in complete darkness ; and in this
emergency the eight hundred thousand
gods procured from the country of per.
petual day a number of "continuously
growing cocks" which were brought tC
the mouth of the cave. From tamou.
mountain WAS brought also tree, from
the top branch of which were hung five
hundred jewels, from the center branch
waa suspended star shaped mirror, and
from the lower branches were hung greer
and white slips Of paper. The gods now
>mplored Tenshoio to show her face, bu
she turned deaf ear to their entreaties
until, attracted by the noise OF n dance
which the assembled gods performed t.
entce her out, she gently moved til,
stone and looked forth. Instantly th,
''strong handed god" rolled away tn
stone and drew her out, when once agail
light shone upon the earth, and the rota
ton of day and night was established 70

THANK You, SIR.-A tive-year old
child left its seat in the Baptist Church
at Grand Rapids, Mich, walking up to
the pulpit and up tho steps, and stood
beside DIR, Graves, tho pastor, who
turned toward tho lad, saying, "What
do yon want my little man ?""A glass
of water" Tho pastor poured out y
glass Of water, the child drank it, and
left the platform. The incident created
considerable merriment among the au-

Agricultural Co-opperation.

The possibilities ofprosperirty through
industrial co operation are formulated
in the scheme OF Vermont colony that
has been farming $50 acre estate in
Virginia for the last six months. The
colony embraces 20 persons. Is men
end five women, with capital Of Sl7,-
500. The managers desire to increase
the colony, to 100 persons with $4,000
The association gives constant employ
ment with reasonable wages to employ
ees, and board in pleasant home at 3
low figure. A good workingman can
earn, say 800 year, from which he
must deduct Sl75 for his board, and
save one fourth Of the whole, or about
800, to invest in the stock of the asso.
citation, on which he is guaranteed at 6
par cent, annual dividend. This leaves
Sl25 a year for clothes and incidental
expenses. If man 20 years old joins
the association he will at the age Of 40,
be worth 1868, and at the age OF 70
S29,049 A woman is paid $3.50 per an
mum, and her board will be Sl25. She
is required to contribute $50 to the stock
each year, which would make her say
ings at 70, sl4.52i. This, of course, is
rough draft Of the project, for it pre-
supposcs that man and woman can
earn as much at three score and ten as
at one score, but it encourages thrift
aud shows the beneicient tendency OF
cooperation, where properly organized
and directed.

A Pleasant GhOst-StOry.

A rather queer story is told and can
be vouehed for by over dozen persons
in Springfield. 1t appears that three
years ago a young man living in Sum
nit got married, and in due time his
wife gave birth to child which was a
girl. When the child was about year
old its mother died, About five months
later the young widow became lonely
and took unto himself another wife.
But before doing 50 he took all of his
first wfe's clothing, and packed them in
a trunk, locked it up, and allowed no one
to have charge of the key but himself.
Among the clothing put away was her
wedding shawl and pillow his wife
had made for her first born, and also
some toys she had bought just before
she died. Then he brought homo wife
No, 2. who, it is said, made as good a
mother as the average step-mothers do.
Things went on lively till one night last
week, when there was party at the
next neighborss house. So. after put.
ting the babe in its little bed, the father
and mother No. went over to spend the
evening at the party. Shortly after
they left two men came along on their
way to the party also. They saw won
derful light in the house, as though
it might be on fire, They also heard
the cries of the babe, as though it great
pain. They went into the house, and as
soon as they reached the door, the light
went out and all was as silent as the
grave within. They FASTENED on to the
house where the party wss. and told
the man what they had seen and heard
in the house as thoy came by. Five OF
six men including the owner of the
house. started To investigate tho report

search was found up stairs under the

mother had made for it, sound asleep
Alongside of it lay its little playthings
On examining the trunk 1t was found to
be locked and nothing missing except
the above mentioned articles. Now
how the things got out Of that trunk and
the KEY in the owners pocket, and ht

got up stairs, is mystery. The above
may sound little dime novciish, but

Every Year.

Every Year.
Spring seems fairer-howers brighter
Every year;
Summers heat and labors lighter,
Every year;
Not flower hath lost its sweetness,
Not bird hath lost its fleetness-
OF lifes joys there is completeness,
Every year.
Autumn's fruitage richly ripens,
Every year;
Autumn's foliage CLEANS and brightcns.
Every year;
Breezes whisper less of sadness,
Often filing me with gladness,
As listen to their music,
Every year.
Ties Of love cling closer round me,
Every year;
In unbroken clasp they bind me,
Every year;
Friendships joys each day are dearer,
As the cares of earth grow drearer,
And true hearts are clust'ring nearer,
Every year.
To the homeland of the loving
Every year,
o! how fast the loved ones gather
To the mansion of our Father
And Pm surely fastening ththcr,
Every year;
Earth is brighter but heaven seems brighter
Every year.
Sin and sorrows gloom grows brighter,
Every year;
o! it's sweet to look before me,
AS the shadows gather DER me,
To the land OF light and glory
Drawing near.
