"PAINE AND THE BIBLE. about 20
wears ago. says one, passing the house
where Thomas Paine boarded, the low win
dows were open, and seeing him sitting
close by, stepped in. Seven or eight of
his friends were present, whose doubts and
his own he was endeavoring to remove, by
a long talk about Joshua commanding the
sun and moon to stand still; and cohclu-
ding by dcnouncing the Bible as the worst
of books, that it had occasoned more mis-
chief and bloodshed, than any other book
ever printed, and was believed only by fools
and knaves. Here he paused: and while
he was replenishing his tumbler with his
favorite brandy and water, person asked
Mr. Paine if he was ever in Scotland! The
answer was yes $50 was |, continued
he, and the Scotch are the greatest big

IA curious legend exists relating to the
discovery of printing, One evening of the
18th century, Faust was Journeylng to-
wardsSa town of Germany. Just before
him rode a traveller on horseback. The
shoes of his horse left on the even soft
ground distinct and regular impressions,
repeated with exactness each step. Faust
observed this. The next day printing was
invented.
There is similar account gwen OF the
discovery of photography which took place
only forty years ago. One night Alloys
Senefelder, chorist of the Munich theatre,
entered his small attic with three things in
his hands; ia new hone for razors, and order
to draw months pay, and printers ball
charged with printing inn For il was he
who made on the theatre checks the little
mark changed each time to prevent fraud.
Scarcely had he laid on the mantel the or
der before it was blown off and fell into a
basin Of water Alloys snatched up the
precious paper wiped it and replaced it on
the mantelpece, put on it, TO prevent It's be-
ing again blown away, the new razor hone,
which on the way had rubbed against the
ball. The black marks made by this con-
tact we're observed next day, transferred
with admirable precision to the damp pa
per. The chorist, Alloys Senefclder, OBJ
served this and TYPOGRAPHY was invented.

with whom they would treat are Just as
powerless in the premises as the Ministers
