The Cherokees and PoIytheism.

The Cherokee Indian was originally q
polytheist. To him the spirit world was
only shadowy counterpart of this one.
He had no great spirit, no happy hunting
ground, no heaven, no heil-all of which
ideas were first introduced to the American
aborigines by Christian missionaries. Con-
sequently death had for him no terrors,
and he awaited the inevitable end with nc
anxiety as to the future. All his prayers
were for temporal and tangible blessings
for health. for long life, for success in the
chase, in fishing, in war and in love, for
good crops, for protection, and for revenge.

Hence from this world in other worlds to

Moon Worship Among Many Peoples.

Figures of the moon as religious cmblems
can be traced to very high antiquity.
The ancient Egyptians had two moon gods
-Khons or Khonsu, and Tel or Thoth.
The latter wore the moon on his head,
either as full moon or as crescent. The
divine honors paid to the cat on the banks
of the Nile were probably due to its snp-
posed connection with the moon, al shown
by the changeable pupil of the feline eyes.
In Greece, both Phubus and Phoebe were
moon gods and by Isis the Greeks under
stood the same planet The Romans had
many gods. With them Luna was the
moon-the daughter of Hyperion and Sis
ter of the sun. According to Livy, the
temple of Luna stood on the Avertine.
The ancient Goths, Germans and Firms
were all moon worshipers and in our own
country the moon occupied a high position
in the celestial hierarchy of the Druids,
who were always represented as bearing
crescents in their hands. 1t is possible,
too, that Andraste, the goddess to whom
Boadicea appealed with outstretched
hands, was the moon.-London Standard.

Anecdote of Vernet.

coming from Versailles to Paris in the
train. In the same compartment with
him were two ladies whom he had never
seen before, but who were evidently &C.
quainted with him. They examined him
very infinitely, and commented upon him
quite freely-upon his martial bearing, his
hale old age, his military pantaloons, etc
The painter was annoyed, and determined
to put an end to the persecution. AS the
train passed through the tunnel of St
Cloud, the three travellers were wrapped
in complete darkness.
Vernet raised the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed it twice violently. Or
emerging from the obscurity he found
that the ladies had withdrawn their atten
ton from him, and were accusing eacl
other of having been kissed by a man il
the dark. Presently they arrived at Paris
and Vernet, on leaving them, said: "La
dies, shall be puzzled all my life by the
inquiry, which of these two ladies was il
that kissed me?' "--EXchange.
