Adam and Eve Were Not Alone.

To the Editor:
Several days ago wrote a letter the aues-
ton Of Where Did Cain Get His First Wife,"
II you remember. l said that It could not have
been from among his fathers daughters, for the
reason that Adam had none until after the birth
OF Gains child. In last evenings paper l OBJ
served a letter from "Dunavansa," in which he
stated that in collection Of old Irish legends he
noticed that mention is made of the daughters o.
Adam. He goes to infer that Cain selected
Of these for his wife. The fact OF Adam having
had three daughters may be true. but none Of
these were born previous to Gains marriage
Now. the purpose Of my letter is to prove that
people other than Adam. Eve and Cain lived at
the time Of Gains Punishment, making use Of the
Bible my proof. For Gains fear that every
one that hndsth me shall slay me- would have
been entirely groundess, and Gods reply that
''whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be
taken on him seven-f old,' would be unnecessary
had no other people existed. 1t would also have
been useless to mark Cain. for certainly his par
ents knew him. Another thing Soon after the
birth OF Gains son he built q city. Now. II ia
utterly incomprehensible to believe that he built
! a city alone. especially at such early period
| OF life. Nothing appears more plausible than
| that other people lived in the Land of Nod. and
that It was these that assisted him. It is prob
| able that Cain selected his wife from among
them. q. T. NJ. "s5."
