Note also the incongruity of Cain building a city, when from the nature of the curse or judgment passed on him, he was to winder as a fugitive and a vagabond. Could he build a city by himself?

SOMETHING ABOUT CORSETS.

the thirteenth century, and in sumptuary laws made early in the reign of Edward IV. wrought corsets and corsets worked with gold were restricted to certain classes of the female nability. They appear, however, to have been worn by both sexes, and were usually quilted, having slips of whalebone between the quilting Their breadth, together with the mode of fastening them by lacing, permited of their Icing drawn very tight, and thus produced the stim whists referred to by various writers of that period.
The other passage which indicates the existence of more men, or of other kind of men outside the Adamic circle is Chap. vi, v. 1,2 and 4, in which, the sons of God are rélated to have taken wives from, the daughters of meri. Geddes (quoted by Bradlaugh) says:Who are those sons of the gods; or as the words will bear to be rendered, sons of God ? Josephus, Philo, and the more early Christian fathers Imagined that the sons of God were angels or atrial beings, who, charmed with the beauty of the daughters of men, found means to violate them; from which commerce sprang a race of lawicas giants, or heroes, who corrupted the

has been ex- ploded by more recent commentators it is not without plausibility. I mean, that it is very possible that the writer of Genesis may have had that belief. It seems to have been a prevalent opinion among the ancient nations, that the gods had occasionally carnal commerce with the human kind; and that from that commerce the greatest beroes sprang. Why may not a similar opinion have prevailed among the Hebrews? That it was common at the commencement of Christianity, is clear from Josephus to Philo; and from the earliest Christian writers, both Greek and Latin. They tellus that the sons of God were the posterity of boly Setb, and the daughters of men the posterly of wicked Cain; and that those associating with these produced a race of monsters, called giants, who corrupted the whole earth. One wasld expect such conse quences rather from the wicked sons of Cainign of Henry V. says: "By detestable vanity, associating with the pious daughters of Seth; or, to preserve the Hebrew phraseology, from the sens of men violating the daughters of God... Besides, where is it said, and whence is it learned that the posterity of Cain were exclusively wicked, or that of Seth exclusively pious? This is taken for granted without the shadow of a proof...Remains only one solution of the difficulty and that is to tender Bent Enteim in the plural, to translate the sons of the gods, and to take these for the great ones of the earth, who, like Enos, assumed superior power and domineered over the little ones. Verse 4 repeats more emphatically the existence of these giants, and as it does not account for their origin, it may be inferred that they were men quite distinct from the Adamic centre of creation. There, were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that." Rask ("Hebrew Chronology, p. 47) on 'v, 1 and 3 urges, says Bradlaugh, that it is said almost in plain words, that there were other people than the Adamites, and another race or family. "To me, at least it is clear that the ancient population is here spoken of ("These are the heroes who were of old, men of renown"), among whom the Adamites dwelt and with whom they intermarried ; just as in the ancient north, after the immigration of Odin, 'There was a great mingling of the people (says the Hervararaaga); the giants took to themselves wives from Maunliezin, but some married their daughters there,
Another passage may be found in the facility with which the sons and grand sons of Noah are alleged to have built cities alter the flood,-Gen. x. 5. By these were the bles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations." This is undoubtedly a very trenchant proof that the Adamic creation was circumscribed within the Hebrew race, that the other men-the Gentiles -existed simultaneously or previous to the creation of Adam and Eve, and that the Deluge was essentially a partial cataclysm, a mere inundation which occurred in the land of the Adamites.
Taking all there facts into consideration it must be confessed that the doctrine of the original sin, apart from intrinsic absurdity, has a great weight of extrinsic evidence against (To be continued).
A FLORENTIÑE TRAGEDY.
A murder of such romantic interest and such terrible consequences took place in Florence on the 18th of December, says a correspondent of
the London Times, that some account of it can
scarcely be deemed withest interest, even for
English reads. Tragedies as startling and as ghasily often occur all over Italy from the master-passion of jealous and baffled love, But their scenes are qually in A more humble and less-cultured sphere of human life, In this instance. the victim is A
patrician lady of great beauty, of large wealth and of honomble name, the Countess Costa of Verona, and the scene of the murder was the cemetery chapel where her husband, was buried four years ago. The Coyness, a woman still Ettractive and lovely, with a tall and graceful figure, delicate features, brown eyes and cheat nut hair, was left a widow with four children and a considerable fortunej admired and respected, by all, and singularly happy in the circumdances of her life. Her landau, with her handsome children and her favorite little dog, was a familiar feature in the drive of the Cascine.

ladies of rank now cause their robes to be made so tight in the waist that they can scarcely resplie in them, and so often suffer pain by it, in order to make their bodies small. In the time of Queen Elizabeth," says Strutt, "the bodice was also used by men, though this custom, never generally adopted." believed, was Pictures of some of the remarkable men of that time are represented with slim waists, which are presumably the result of such tight lacing. From that period up to our day corsets have been worn by women of England and of most other civilized nations. They combine in one the mammillaire, the strophlon, the zoster, the zona, etc., of the ladies of ancient Greece and Rome.
That the wearing of corsets is a gain to women is evident enough from the fact that they are worn under conditions in which the wearers are regardless of mere appearance. For instance, we may die the working peasant women, unmarried as well as married, of France, Switzerland, the Tyrol, Austria and Hungary, etc, who wear stays during the performance of very laborious work, yet who, one could aot suppose, would do this work if their stays interfered with their comfort, or movements, Another example of the fact is illustrated by the very poor working women of our own nation, who, when obliged to sell their clothes, or when these hang about them in rags, still, as a rule, stick to the use of stays. Many other examples to the same effect, might be given, showing that mere regard for appearances will not, as usually supposed, explain the widespread adoption by the war en of our own time of cosers or of tightly bound sashes, as in the case, for instance, of the country-women of Spain-National Review.

an individual has attained to full development and sound health-say at forty-the expectancy of life may be twenty-five.or thirty years; for the Individual there are great risks, but with the aggregate of mankind such questions may be calculated with business-like accu- racy. There are 100 great factors which concern the prolongation of a human life-the inheritance, and the conditions which make up
