DEUCALION AND THE FLOOD.
BY A. B. LIE MASSENA.

S-W% HE Golden Age of the world was
drawing to u close; and the
w~ickedness released from Pan
dora's casket was slowly but surely
supplanting all that was good.
1t had been a glorious age for man.
Perpetual spring reigned. Such things
as swords and spears were unknown.
for everyone was kind and just TO his
neighbor, and the whole earth BIOS
somed with flowers. Peace and happi-
ness was the common lot of all.
Finally the evil in mans nature be-
camc the stronger. and the Golden Age
gave way to a time of trouble and war.
Truth and honor we're succeeded by
greed and cunning.
These things made King Jupiter very
angry indeed, and he determined TO put
an end to them forever. One day,
therefore, he sent his messengers down
the Milky Way. the main street in the
sky, and summoned all the gods to at
tend a council at the palace. When all
were present he explained to them the
sad condition of affairs M stated his
intention to destroy the world by fire
as a punishment for its wickedness,
and asked them if they did not think it
a wise plan.
Are you not afraid that such a large
conhagration might set fire TO the Sky
and burn up all our honest" inquired
one who was more timid than the
others.
'That is quite true" replied the king.
Has anyone a plan to suggest"
Il would advise said Juno, that
you ask the aid of your brother, Nep-
tune. VIII rules the sea, and have him
send forth his waters upon the land
and drown the world in one vast food. -
This plan met with the approval Of
the king and his council. Forthwith
the rain began to fall in torrents, the
rivers were loosed from their bounds
and poured over the plains and valleys,
and the ocean rolled it's mighty waves
against the mountains. Men and
