Cornhin Magazine
The common account Of the man in the
moon. that he Is the individual whom the
Israelites stoned for gathering sticks on
the Sabbath. is probably only a modern
izcd version Of mueh older story The
earliest form Of the many similar stories
seems to be that the moon, as man, and
a far.seeing one, has power over man.
kind which he can exercise at will for
their hurt or punishment In the Edda,
the moon takes up two children, who
were doing nothing more than carrying
water on their shoulders In Swabia,
children who look out Of windows are
still cautioned against being carried off
BY the man in the moon; nor are they
allowed, in imitation OF the hare in the
moon, to make the figure OF hare on
the wall with their fingers. In the same
district, the sin OF the man in the moon
was simply that of working in his vine
yard by moonlight; while, according to
another version, woman was taken up
for spinning at her window and her flax
and hair may still be seen there. To
this day this primitive idea of sin against
the moon exists in Swabia, where it is
still thought sinful to spin or sew in the
moonlight, and it is common thing to
hear it said, Z" Leave off working or you
will 60 to the moon"
Stories, therefore, Of the moon which
connect the punishment OF resi-
dence there with offences against morality
of Christians ordinances, may be sup
posed to have less antiquity than those
which connect it with no sin at all or
with sin against the moon itself. For
instance, such stories as the Bohemian
one, that the moon, having warned a
thief against stealing peas, took him up
when he persisted in doing SO; or the
Tyroleso or German tales, that the moon
carried off rascal who went about at
night sticking sheep with fork, or who
held the brambles before the moon to
conceal his theft of horse, of cabbages,
cherries, fish or cheese-ssem to be the
adoption of more primitive belief to a
changed and somewhat advanced state Of
thought rather than an expression of the
earliest notions on the subject. The fur
ther addition to these stories that the
thief or profane Sabbath breakers bears
his load of cabbage or sticks for all etern-
ity, as an eternal warning to mankind
seems an additional confederation of thi:
hypothesis.

cargo were six young sea elephants, three
males and three females. The schooner

a sack over them so as to prevent their

A.BILL was introduced in tho Leg.
islature at Nashville yesterday to max o
insanity a sufficient cause for divorce.
This would give man who mistreats his
wife and drives her into Mysteries
chance to throw her off, or in other
words, to swap off a worn out wife,
who has raised eight or ten children
and half supported her husband, for a
new wife. We knew of such a bill
being introduced and for such pur-
pose once before, but it was defeated,
and we hope this one will be also. 1t
is an easy matter to prove that nerv-
Gus, sickly wife is crazy, and when she
is once locked up and treated as in
sane, she soon becomes so in fact. The
marriage VOW does not make any ex
ooptiOn for insanity that may and
often does Cnsue from the marriage
relation. When people are married it
is for life; for better or for worse; in
sickness and health; prosperity and
adversely, and they should SO under
stand it in advance. According to
the Scriptures, divorce can only be
granted for one cause, but in these
modern times all sorts OF excuses are
invented, to the great injury and
scandal of the social fabric,

ONE hundred and ten bills were
introduced in tho House of Represen.
tatives al Nashville yesterday. Who
will say that our Legislators have not
been at work during the recess? OF
the entire number offered, however,
we will venture to say that not half a
dozen will be passed substantially as
first proposed. Fresh law makers
are noted for the great number Of bills
they introduce and the small number
they get enacted into laws. The latter
fact is fortunate for them and their
constituents. IT all the bills intro~
duced at one regular session Of the
General Assembly, or even the lead
ing bills on most important topics
could be passed, it would make book
of wonderfully incongruOus matter,
larger than Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary; but not half
as readable. The constitution should
provide that members shall be elected
to serve for four years. paid a reason
able compensation, something more
than now, and that only one regular
session shall be held in four years.
Provision could be made for short
sessions when necessary to elect
United States Senator outside of the
usual time aud for other purposes,
the Governor still having power to
call extra sessions for particular pur-
poses, t o be. named in the procla
nation. A great bother and much
trouble arises from i'll digested legis>
lation. Every new Legislature that
comes along turns around to repeal
many acts of the last one, aud this
work comes in two years later for the
same treatment. Aud so it goes on
from one decade to another.
