did it ?" 1t is she, who decides between
high-comb and low-comb between Ply
mouth Rock and Wyandotte," ind from
Adams natal day until now, ''the poor
man. must console himself with what is
left after her fair fances, and vagrant w.
carries have been satisfied. From Adams
natal day, did / say PIX. 2. is fond of an
cient history, as his "reminiscences show, so
suppose we take q look into the Eden Of
Adams time. There was Lilith, his first
wife, you know She united brilliancy
of intellect with beauty so great that the
human mind has not yet even with the
aid OF the dermatologists been able to
grasp its full meaning. And she led Adam
a life. He was a poor, plain farmer, and
she craved knowledge and society, and
life Possibly, diamonds, and opera boxes
and other things which leisure and luxury
call for. Now, what did Adam do;-try
to reason her into better frame of mind
1t would have been useless,-women do
not understand logic; and, if he scolded,
she wept, and hid the beauty of her coun-
tenance from him, and so. like the noble,
manly creature that he was, he complained
to the Lord, The woman who thou gavest
me, to be with me, grieveth me Sore and
doth make my life miserable;n and the
Lord had pity upon Adam and turned Lii
18th, and her one-hundred and thirty chill
dren, l am not sure of the exact number,
out of the garden. And then came pure,
pensive, modest Eve,-whose beauty was
like dream of the gods, and whose sense
OF obedience was so great that even Adam
was satisfied, and he said to the Lord God,
Now, indeed, hast thou sent me
woman after mine own heart, and, at nee,
the Garden of Eden became a Paradise.
But since Eve obeyed Adam implicitly, it
is to be wondered that she should have
obeyed the serpent also? Still, have an
idea about that little event. In Rome, all
lovers of art go to the Rosphigliosi Palace
to see the Aurora" painted by Guido.
There is room beyond, which the hur-
ried tourist never enters, but in which are
found many rare and curious things.
Among them, large painting representing
the Garden of Eden before the days of fig
leaves. The s'Tree of Life'' was there,
with serpent, wound about its trunk,
whose head and neck were extended to-
ward Eve The face of the serpent wore
most persuasive expression, and Eve bent
toward him with listening ear, on one side,
while the other hand was reaching toward
Adam, who was in the tree, and passing
the apples down to her. We all agreed
that this was the true rendition of the
story-that while Adam might have been
cowardly enough to have Lilith turned out
of the garden because, intellectually, she
was his superior, he never could have been
mean enough to let Eve climb that tree
and get the apples herself.
do not know whether my ancient his
tory will agree with the ancient history of
X. 2 or not, but do know that the mod
ern history of X 2. does not agree with
mine at all. He is right in one respect
the Thorofare correspondent does know
Harry A. DeHart, and knows also that he
has never had a foreman, or superinten-
dent, or manager in his shops. His bust
ness has grown entirely by his own skill,
and energy, and by the brains which are
hidden away in his head, somewhere. He
has made, and is making, inventions
which are of value to the farmer, and the
farmer has had the intelligence to see their
value, and both have been profted; but he
has neither asked, nor needed, the aid of
others except in the capacity of workmen.
John Parker was never his apprentice. He
came here about five years ago as a jour
neyman wheelwright, and he still occupies
that position-nothing more. Neither is
he a boyle lacks very few years of
being as old as Mr.. DeHart. This may
not be an important matter, but justice is
justice and truth is truth.
Since am upon the subjec, might as
well say that, Mr.. Harry A. DeHart
has made a fine display of wagons, and
carriages Of various kinds, at the Mount
Holly Fair, this week. His new low cut
under shelving has been there, and a new
brake which he has invented, and patented.
1t is called the "H. A. DeHart Sure Grip
Brake-shoe." 1t is something quite new
and finds ready sale. His sales at the Fair
have been hattering, and beyond his expec-
tations.
The L. A. S. will hold their "Annual
Oyster Supper in the Town Hall on Sat

delicacy which skillful hand and
generous larder will render possible The
suppers Of the Thorafare ladies are already
famous and large and hungry crowd is
looked for.
