RAMBLING* REMARKS
Whom did Cain marry? is a question
that never worried me, but I have seen
people whom it did worry. It’s a ques
tion that could be argued forever and
you might know no more about it. It’s
a question that it does no good to argue
if you are weak-minded, though I don’t
know that it does any particular barm.
Whether he married a woman of another
race, a fascinating Simian or what not
makes no difference in the world to yon
and to me. However I find the the fol
lowing card on the subject in the New
York Sun, and I think some of you will
read it with interest:
To The Editor of The Sun—Sir: In a
recent issue of your Sunday edition, a
party asked: "Whom did Cain marry?”
He married his sister. Her name was
Ripha. This, St. Chrysostom says, was
the tradition of tbe Jews of his time.
This information may be found in Dup
rion’s "Concordance of the Holy Bible.”
Genesis, v., 4, says of Adam: “And
he begot sons and daughters. ’ ’ Josephus
says that Adam and Eve had thirty
three sons and thirty-two daughters.
The sons of our first parents married
their sisters. The/Old Testament was
written as a preparation for the coming
of Christ, and the history of personages
who did not typify Him or relate to Him
are not given. The holy and innocent
Abel was a figure of Christ who was
killed by his brethren, and Cain and
Abel and their histories are related,
While nothing is said of the other clil
dren.
It may be of interest to your many
readers to know the exact meanings of
the names of the patriarchs who lived
from Adam to Noah, as follows: Adam
“Manin the image of God” or “the
Reasoning being;” Seth. “Substituted
by;” Enos, “Frail man;” Caanan. "La
menting fell;” Malaleel, “The Blessed
Ged;” Jared, “Shall come down;’’;
Henoch, “The Teacher;” MethusalahJ
“Hasdeath shall send;” Lamech, “To!
the humble;” Noe, “Rest” or “Consola- |
tion. ” Now putting these English I
meanings of the Hebrew names together'
we have the following: "Man in the im-;
age of God, Substituted by Frail man,'
Lamenting fell, The Blessed God, Shall
come down, The Teacher, His death
shall send, To the humble, Rest or Con
solation.”
Here in the very names of the great
fathers of our race before the flood, we
find a revelation of the fall of mankind,
the sorrows of sin, the incarnation of
Christ, how He will come as a Teacher,
His death, His redemption, given to the
humble ones who will receive His teach
ings, and the rest and consolation of
peace from wars and the blessings of civ
ilization.
These are but a few of the wonderful
things the student finds in the Holy Bi
ble. Jas. D. Meagher.
There are some people who are never
really happy unless they are arguing
some religious point. It is their delight
to explain, expound and dispute. The
idea is so well illustrated in some verses
I read the other day, that I reproduce
them below:
I had for neighbors Silas Bean
Eraetus Gove, an’ William Smith.
John Andrew Pratt, Horatio Dean,
But no one to talk Bible with.
For Silas Bean would talk ot hops,
Eraetus Gove was strong on cows.
An’ William Smith on onion crops,
An’ Pratt an’ Dean on shotes an sows,
But Bean, Gove, Pratt, Dean, or Smith-
Not one could I talk Bible with.
For w’en I tried to talk free-will
With Dean or with John Andrew Pratt,
They’d talk about the kind of swill
Was best to make a lean hog fat.
An’ w’en I labored to arouse
Some intress in predestination,
An’ talk foreknowledge, they’d talk cows,
An’ hop an’ onion cultivation.
A.sordid, worl’ly set, yon see,
An* not companyins fit for me.
An’ how all things wus foreordained,
An’ how the human will was free,
They didn’t seem to want explained,
And never listened much to me.
An’ w’en my argiment bored keen.
Way into the the real Scriptur’s pitch,
John Andrew Pratt would wink at Dean,
An’ Dean would wink at William Smith,
An' ’Rastus Gove an’ Silas Bean
Would jest keep silent an’ look green.
But ’twas a glorious day an* good ,
A sweet an’ blessed day for me,
W’en moved into our neighborhood
Melchizlek Abraham McGee.
With Scriptur’s zeal his soul was het;
An’ ’twas an edifyin’ sight
To see us set an’ set an’ set.
An’ jest talk Scriptur’ day an’ night— i
Begin with Moses, an’ keep on
Way down to Peter, Jude, an’John. e
We grew together, he an’ I,
An’ might bev clung together yit, <
But on a verse in Malachi
We made an everlastin’ split.
I pleaded—tol him 'twas absurd,
The way of his interpertation;
He said the way I wrenched God’s word
Called for his sternest condemnation;
An’ said I’d started on the path
Thet leads to everlastln’ wrath.
I tried to push his error by,
An' pluck it from him limb by limb.
An’ crush his wicked heresy.
An* make an orthodox of him-
He said my sonl “wi.z reperbate,
A Pagin with no gleam of light,
T .et walked in unregenerate
An* dark an’ takerliglous night.”
This got me riled; I waded in.
An’ sou idly thrashed the: man of sin.
An’ hard I smote him, hip an’ thigh,
He squirmed about aid raised a rumpus; '
Ent I—l knocked bis heresy
To all directions of the compass.
As Michael fit the Dragon, I
Laid on, an' didn’t withhold uiy hand—
A knuckle argiment, whereby
1 made the Pagin understand.
I beat him fair an’ square. Next day
In contrite shame he moved away.
Now I’ve for neighbors Silas Bean,
Erastus Cove, an’ William Smith,
John Andrew Pratt. Horatio Dean.
But no one to talk Bible with
And with a thirst beyond control,
A hunger growin’ more an* more,
I long for some congenial soul
To lay my Scriptur’ views afore.
, But Bean, Cove, Pratt, or Dean or Smith—
Not one can I talk Bible with.
—Sam Foss.
That makes more than I thought it
would, but I guess it doesn’t matte
There’s a good lasson in it, if yon’ll only
see it.

FOR COAST DEFENSES.
Over Ten Millions of Dollars Appropri
ated by the Senate.
Washington, May 21, —The fortifica
tions bill, which passed the senate, ap
propriated the liberal su'u of $10,863,-
888. After the committee on coast de
fenses concluded its investigations, the
house committee on appropriations
availed itself of the information ob
tained by the senate coast defense com
mittee and the house committee also
followed up the investigations and con
cluded to appropriate the sum of $5,-
845,837. This was beyond all precedent,
a new departure in the line of coast de
fenses, but the senate was not content
with this and, after due consideration
in the committee on appropriations, the
senate increased the amount by $4,918,-
051.
Senator Squire was invited to sit
with the senate committee on appro
priations during their review of the
subject, and the matters in question
were so thoroughly considered in the
committee that the main question of the
importance of having this large appro
priation made was conceded without ob
jections in the senate, so that the forti
fication bill passed unanimously.
