"Would you take me for twenty years?" said a youug lady who lookod'rnuch younger. "Bless you, my child," said an admiring bachelor, "I would take you for life." How many Aitlks did An.uc and Evk ]i] at y_Sonie say Eve 8 and Adam 2, a total 10 only.—We think the above figures entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 8 2 certainly tlie total will be 90. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that tho antediluvians were a race of giants, reas >n something like this : Eve 8 1 and Adam 8 2; total 1.03. —Wrong attain ; uothin ■: clearer than if Eve 8 1 and Adam 8 12, the total was 893 1— 1f 8 11st and Adam 812, would not the total be I,o23';—George Washington says Eve 814 Adam, and Adam 8 1 li i Eve; together they got away with 8,938.— But if 8 1 -[ -Adam, Adam 8 2 4 2 oblige Eve. Total 82,030,—We think this, however, not a sufficient quantity, for though we admit that Eve 814 Adam, Adam, if ho 8, 0281 24 2 keep Eve coniaany. Total, 80,282,050.— Everybody is wrong again. Eve, when she 8 1, 8 1 2many, and probably felt snrry for it, but her companion in order to relieve her sorrow, 8 12. Therefore Adam, if he 81, 8 14 2 4 2 fy Eve's depressed spirits. Hence, both ate 81,890,054 applus.—West Side Sentinel,
