1T appears that the arrangement Of the
quotations from scripture, which recently
appeared in the aurora and that we're osten.
slbly published for the perusal of Mr.. Jack
son, the a~crostic of which. forms the head Of
this scrap, eoxld NOT hape 6esn tie work Of
chance This opinion is strengthenedb By the
circumstance Of half the quotations being 80
perfectly foreign to the avowed subject.
1t certainly betrays a despicable DISPOSE

ther purposes, the sentiments of a writer.:-
hut he who wishes, or expects, to avoid mis-.
constructions by others, should not invite to

DEPRESSING a moment from our pursuit F;
we would readily exonerate the editor of the
Baltimore Wing, for lately inserting in his
