BANKER.)  The. spectator who views the preserved body of a man diesaovered in Egypt, now exhibited in the British Museum who is believed on good grounds to be one of the antediluvian inhabit ante of the earth, cannot fail to be thrilled wits a strange emotion as he stands in the presence of this extraordinary relic of a far by-gone age. The complete preservation of the body is most astonishing and remarkable • his fair, ruddy skin and bright red hair, altogether different to the type of Egyptians during and since the reigns of the Pharaohs, having, in parts, retained their original hue in a most wonderful deg,ree. And as we contemplate this recumbent figure, perhaps we mentally apostrophise the sleeping form, as more and more we realise how age after age, epoch after epoch has rolled by since that dim fax off era in the buried past when he too was a, sentient, virile being. - Though apparently not more than about thirty years of age, perhaps he wa.s several hundred years old; for we must, assume that man in thew 'days of iongevity remained in the prime life for eenturies, and did' not put on the sere and yellow leaf until perhaps he had attained to an age of seven or eight hundred yews. And if those sightless orbs could see, and if that silent tongue maid speak, how would se crowd round to hear the recital of the history of those far off times. Perhaps he had conversed with Adam himself, and heard from hie own lips the thrilling record which has been handed down through the ages to us his descendants. Perhaps he is one in the tine between Adam and Noah, ilind we actually see before us our own pats arch denouncing the evil ways of [ the earth, and threatening the great destrue' tion which was soon to ensue. Or who can tell [ but that he was one of those who, during all those years while the ark was being constructed, jeered and scoffed, and held the old patriazoli up to ridicule and mocking derision; though, fortunately for him, he was not amongst thew who werec overwhelmed by the great cataclysm which engulphed the earth in destruction end ruin. .  Or who could say—if it be permissible to give rein to the imagination, and to indulge in the flights of fantasy—that we are not in the presence of Cain, the murderer; or of Jabal, the father of music; or of Tubal-cam the artificer • or even---startling thought—that that recumbent form before us is none other than Adam himself; that we are gazing at the very form of the first of the hitman race, of that rebel whose fall has entailed such misery and such grinding sorrow and remorse upon untold myriads. But no descendant of Adam dare lay the !Awl* upon him if he fail to attain to the glory-land. For a loving welcome to those realms of spydour and regal sublimity is assured to all who will but accept the salvation offered by the Soli of God • who on the cross made a full, perfeet, and sufficient propitiation for the sins of all who will receive it.
