primeval man was round, and had four hands and four feet, back and sides forming a circle, one head with two faces, looking opposite ways, on a round neck, and precisely alike; also four ears, and the remainder to correspond. When he had a mind he could walk as men now do, and he could also roll over and over at a great rate, leasing on his four hafids and four feet, eight in all, like tumblers going over and over with their legs in the air ; this was when he wanted to run fast. Now there were these three sexes, because the sun, moon, and the earth are three, and the man was orijij4lly the child of the sun, the woman of the/irtli, and the man-woman of the moon, whij-i is mado of sun and earth andyihey w^re all round and moved round and round like their parents. Terrible was their might and strength, and the thoughts of their hearts were great, and they made an attack upon the gods; and of them is told the tale of Otus and Ephialtes, who, as Homer says, dared to scale heaven, and would have laid hands upon the gods. Should, they kill them, and annihilate the race with thunder holts as they had done the giants, then there would be an end to the sacrifice &nd worship which men offered to them ; but on the other hand, the gods could not suffer their insolence to be unrestrained. At last, after a good deal of reflection, Zeus discovered a way. He said, "I have a notion which will humble their pride and mend their manners; they shall continue to exist, but I will cut them in two, and then they will be diminished in strength and increased in numbers, this will have the advantage of making them more profitable to us. They shall walk upright on.two legs,and if they continue to be insolent and won't be quiet, I will split them again, and they shall hop about on a single leg." He spoke and cut men in two, like a sorb-apple which is halved for pickling, or as you would divide an egg with a hair : and as he cut them one after another, lie made Apollo give the face .and neck a turn in order that the man might con template the section of himself. This would tench him a lesson of humility. He was also to heal their wounds and compose their forms. Apollo twisted the face and pulled the skin al 1 round; he also moulded the breast and toek out most of the wrinkles, much as a shoemaker might smooth out leather upon a lagt. He left a few, however, as a memorial of the primeval change. After the divifion, the two parts of man, each desir ing his other half, came together, and threw their arms about one another, eager to grow into one. . . . And if we are not obedient to the go*ds, there is danger that we shall be split up again, and go about in basso-relievo, like the figures having only half a nose which are sculptured on columns, aud that we shall bo like tallies. "Wherefore let us exhort all men to piety. If we are friends of God and reconciled to Him we shall find our own loves (that is, the other halves from which we have been separated), which rarely happens in this case. My words have a wide application— they include men and women everywhere j and I believe that if all of us obtained our love, and each one had his particular beloved, thus returning to his original nature, then our race would be happy. And if this would be best of all, that which would be best UDder present circumstances would he the nearest approach to such a union ; and that will be the attain ment of a congenial love. Therefore we shall do well to praise the god Love, who is the author of this gift, and who is also the greatest I enefactor, leading us in this life back to our own nature, and giving us high hopes for the future, that if we are pious, he will restore us to our original state and make us happy and blessed.

THE LOAFER.

Out in the cold and pelting rain, With bleary eyes and beery nose, In well-worn hat and seedy clothes ; His greasy pockets containing hands Not fond-of work—at the corner stands " The Loafer." Out in the cold and the drizzling rain, Peering along the muddy street, In hopes some monied friend to meet; Envying those who go in and out Of the aoisy bar, "Come! wont you shout ?" Whines "Loafer." Out in the cold and the pouring rain ! His wretched heart begins to sink. A. welcome sound! "Come! have a drink," From a digger, whose pockets are lined With the sweat of his brow. " I don't mind" Says " Loafer." Out of the rain in the cosy bar! The cherished drink he raises high, And drains it quick, with inward sigh ; Clutching the glass with nervous fingers, Still at the counter, thirsty, lingers The " Loafer." Out of the rain in the cosy bar! He loiters long and smacks his lips Grown dry and cracked with countless " nips ;" Till, seeing that they will " shout" no more, Reluctant passes the open door, " The Loafer." Out in the cold and the pelting rain ! The stormy blast or burning heat! He crawls along on tottering fe^t. How he lives, none know; how dies, none heed ; Nona seek his grave—he's a worthless weed— " A Loafer I" Lancelot Booth. Prince of Wales Theatre.
