I have seen the distiess of a mother bird when her little one wss - gone, tir ffrsnair of the deer when its companion wa'« killed, the agony of the wife when her husband was token, the sorrow of a mother wbcnjirr baby was dead, but this t«*t rrprescntJ^all these distresses put together, and we haven story which canpossessed of seven devils.

The music of the birds is the sweetest. the fragrance, of the flower is the best; there is no curse upon Eden, when suddenly the cloud appears, the moving of the fore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from SrsL k : jV££i X-Jr:, ?s Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming Ki.'ffS'srliS” ^
