Supernaturalist.-The German theologians have been divided into three classes. The Supernaturalists are the plenary inspiration men, ultra evangelicals, as Hengstenberg in Berlin. Opposed to them in the extreme gauche are the Naturalists, who deny all revelations of any kind, and cleave fast to the book of Nature. A numerous class, however, endeavours to keep the juste milieu, and these are called Rationalists. To this class belong Bretschneider, Schleiermacher, and many of the brightest names that theological literature can boast. The sceptic, of course, is a complete anti-diabolist.

Manure. In a place in South America, called Pavilion de Pica, is found an enormous reservoir of natural manure, called by the natives Guano. It is either red or white, and is an article of such value as manure, that it is sent for from the remotest districts, and is sold at a very high price. The whole of its nutritive powers are ascribed to the very large proportion of birds' dung

which it contains.

Cuvier's notions of Education."Give schools before political rights; make citizens comprehend the duties that the state of society imposes on them; teach them what are political rights before you offer them for their enjoyment. Then all ameliorations will be made without causing a shock; then each new idea thrown upon good ground, will have time to germinate, to grow and to ripen, without convulsing the social body. Imitate nature, who, in the development of beings, acts by gradation, and gives time to every member of her most powerful elements. The infant remains nine months in the body of its mother; man's physical perfection only takes place at twenty or thirty, and his moral completion from thirty to forty. Institutions must have ages to produce their fruits-witness

Christianity: the effects of which are not yet accomplished, notwithstanding a thousand years of existence." The word Lilith, or, as the Jews falsely pronounce it, Lilis, occurs in Is. xxxiv. 14; and however externally differ-. ent the interpretations of this passage have been, they all agree in one fundamental idea. Luther uses the indefinite term kobold (in the English version, screech-owl, nightmonster), perhaps the most suitable word he could have used. This lady-goblin, then, was, as the Talmudists tells us, Adam's first wife in Paradise, who turned our Sire's lovely Eden into hell; a mother of demons, says Rabbi Manasseh, who peopled the earth with evil spirits, before God had as yet thought of creating Eve. She was created at the same time with Adam, in such a manner that she and Adam were joined together by the back, as it is written, God made them a man and a woman. In this condition they did not agree well, but quarrelled, and tore one another continually. Then it repented the Lord that he had made them so, and he separated them from one another. But not even thus would they live in peace; and as Lilith had in the mean while, betaken herself to witchcraft, Adam left her altogether. At last she be- . came a perfect DEVIL, and had connection with an immense number of devils; and thus, up to the present day, does she play the harlot. with all devils, and fills the world continually with young devils, devilghosts, and night-apparitions, For these causes God created Adam a' new wife; viz. Eve out of his own rib. Moses has omitted this history of Lilith altogether, and for the good cause, that the Lord God was ashamed of having given existence to such a hag of a Shedevil!!!"
