LONG HAIRED MEN. The Way Massachusetts Protested Against Them In 1649. The following protest signed by Jo. Endicott, governor; Tbos. Dudley, deputy governor; • Richard Bellingham, Richard Saltonstall, Increase Nowell, William Hibblns, Thos. Flint, Rob. Bridges and Simon Bradstreet was published in Massachusetts in 1649: “Protest, against wearing long hair, of the governor, etc., of Massachusetts: “Forasmuch as the wearing of long hair, after the manner of Russians and barbarous Indians, has begun to invade New England, contrary to the rule of God’s word, which says it Is a shame for man to wear long hair, as also the commendable custom generally of all the godly of all our nation, until within these few years: “We, the magistrates, who have signed this paper, for the shewing of our own Innocency in this behalf, do declare and manifest our dislike and detestation against the wearing of such long hair, as against a thing uncivil and unmanly, whereby men doe deforme themselves and offend sober and modest men and doe corrupt good manners. We doe therefore earnestly Intreat all the elders of this jurisdiction, as often as they shall see cause, to manifest their zeal against It In their public administrations, and to take care that the members of their respective churches be not defiled therewith; that so, such as prove obstinate, and will not reforme themselves, may have God and man to witness against them. The third month 10th day, 1649.” ADAM'S FIRST WIFE. The Fiendlike Lilith Waa a Complete Matrimonial Failure. Whether Lilith was one of the female creations of chapter 1 or a demon or something between the two, she was, considered matrimonially, a complete failure. She was expelled after living with Adam for 130 years and subsequently became the wife of Satan. by whom she was the mother of the Jlnns, so familiar In Persian fairy lore. The emphatic remark of Adam when he first saw Eve, “This Is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,” makes, It Is suggested, a comparison between Eve and the beautiful but fiendlike Lilith not complimentary to the latter, while the reference on the birth of Seth to him as Adam's son “in his own likeness, after his Image,” conveys a painful hint of the uncanny offspring born to Adam and Lilith. Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith—the name occurs translated "night monster” tn Isaiah xxxlv—became the sworn foe of little children, whom she was wont to strangle with one of her glorltuis golden hairs unless the watchfulness of their mothers drove her away. It has Indeed been gravely suggested by an etymologist greatly daring that our word “lullaby” Is simply a corruption of "Lllla, abl!” (Lilith, araunt!) which mothers and nurses would croon over the cradles or write on the doorpost.—St. James' Gazette.
