admitted the elder boys, was the
autumnal smiirrel hunt. The
young men formed themselves into
two parties eitial in number, and
fixed a dav for the shooting. The

down the greatest number of equir

A Peralan Legend.
When Ormuzd the All Father
hail finished the creation of the
world, with the beasts, birds, lishes
and insects, he determined to create
an animal superior to them all, com
bining tho good qualities of the
others with the addition of stipe-'
rior reasoning faculties. Accord
ingly he gathered the materials for
the new animal, including thoso of
the noble aud courageous horse, the
toilsome and patient ox, the grate
ful and faithful dog, and the mild
and innocent sheep. In the mean
time Ahriman, the evil one, who
was aware of the intended new cre
ation, and ever on the alert to
thwart the designs of the good
Ormuzd, prepared himself for ac
tion by securing portions of the
rapacious and bloody wolf, the cruel
and lerocioii3 tiger, the cunning
fox, the lilthy swine, and the grov
eliug midnight hyena. These in
gredients, in the absence of Or
muzd, he slyly mixed with his prep
aration. When tho new creation
was completed Ormuzd breathed
into it tho breath of life and called
it man, and placed him in a magni
ficent garden, gorgeoiu with all
kinds of fruits and llowers, in the
midst of which was the tree ot
knowledge. Of the fruit of this
tree the man was commanded not
to eat, but his first act was disobe
dience, and he was driven ignomin
iously from the garden, and lest he
."hould eat fruit of the " tree of
life " and become immortal, it wa3
guarded by angels with naming
swords. The sons of the men
commenced their career by one
murdering the other, and then Or
muzd discovered the trick that had
been played by Ahriman. As man
kind increased in numbers the
earth became filled with violence,
and their selfish, brutal and bloody
instincts had full sway. Or
muzd repented that he had
made man and determined
to destroy him from the face of the
earth. Thi3 he did by a Hood, but
the good spirit ot his great compas
sion saved one family, the best he
could lind, to repeoplo the earth.
In the meantime Ahriman had
completed his work for the destruc
tion of man by imparting to him a
knowledge of lermentation, and
distillation by which maddening
drinks were made that would make
man more like himself in supreme
deviltry. He foresaw that men in
future ages would ovor-powcr and
enslave the weak; that vast armies
would maim and slaughter eacii
other to gratify the ambition of
kings ami priostsj in short, that
this earth would be as nearly a hell
as his own dominions ol darkness

a young man, well dressed and ap
parently rich, entered a clandestine
gambling-house. He was playing
at trer.te-at-quaranto and had al
ready won a little piio of gold.
"Lvd wins," presently said the
banker, and proceeded to hand
over a hundred napoleons to the
unknown one, for the stakes were
high. But the stranger made no
attempt to tako the gold, returned
no answer to three or four ques
tions put to him in reference to
the game. His eyes remained fixed
on the red, while bis features as
sumed a ghastly paleness. A
player touclieu nis arm ne was
dead. Then the banker coldly
withdrew the hundred napoleons,
observing that play was a reciprocal
contract, which could be entered
into by parties both of whom were
capablo of contracting, and, there
fore, never between a live man and
a dead one. The cause of death
was heart disease, and the olucial
report was soon drawn up in proper
form. It contained, a3 may be
imagined, no sort of reference to a
gambling-house.
