A dvertising begets wealth. The parsons continue to fire away at Adam for his weakness in eating of the forbidden fruit, “whose mprtal taste,” says Milton, “brought sin into the world, and all our woe.” It would no doubt have been better for us all had Adam let the apple alone, but we are not disposed to regard him as the chief sinner of antiquity. His frailty has been pretty generally shared by all his male descendants. Noah ought to take first rank in the or der of wickedness. Adam’s sin was tolerably washed out by the flood. All that remained of it went into the ark, and the amount of it was so infinitesi mal that had Noah been the man he was taken for when it was decided to preserve him, it would have been ex purgated completely. Great moral and physical responsibil ities rest on that ancient mariner. He had a fair chance to begin life over on the globe in an unexceptionable man ner! lie had advantage oPAdam’s ex perience and misfortunes, and the evil results of them, as a warning. But al most the first tiling he did after leav ing the ark was to plant a vim*, and as soon as he could conveniently, got drunk on the fermented juice of it. Saved from destruction by water, he sought destruction by wine. Noah is the father of the little brown jug. He is at least morally responsible for its existence, and should be held up to the gaze of mankind as the monster who introduced the bottle and intemp erance into the world. Atiam ate of the apple, it is true but he took it in his natural state, and un der circumstances that ought to miti gate the judgment pronounced by those who derive solid comforts in pil ing their sins upon his shoulders. But he did not introduce the diabolical art of pressing the juice of the apple and converting it into a hard cider. So far as known Adam was a teetotaler; it was the old salt of the novel trip to the top of Mt. Ararat who was the fa ther of the bottle. We make these observations because we notice in some of the addresses of the Murphy boys occasional allusions to the sin of Adam, while the real of fender is passed over. This may be due to early training in the New Eng land primer and the catechism and the influence of theological teachings on the subjects of original sin and human depravity. Adam has been roughly handled for several thousand years; would it not be well to give him a rest, and turn public attention to the father of the bottle who worked infinite mischief to his family by carrying over from the antediluvian period an art that had so demoralized tire world that nothing but submergence for for ty days and nights could make it a tol erable habitation for mankind? If any of the old patriarchs are to be bounced in the oratory of Murphyism, it should be the primal navigator. i
