Probably no given or baptismnl name
has been in all ayes throughout christcn-
dom more common than John; certainly
none has undergone IA greater number of
transformations. The original Hebrew
form as given in our version of the old 1'es-
lament, is Johanon, interpreted TO mean
the grace of The Lori, but this combination
of letters is ii,r from giving a correct idea of
the Hebrew pronunciation. Probably the
Armenian form, johanna will enable us
TO come near the original pronu ncia'ion.-
In the Greek Testament the name is writ
ten Joannes in Latin Johannes, (the as
pirate being expressed by mere accent in
the Greek.) In modern languages, | have
observed the name under the following
ferns. Doubtless other languages will
supply other variations
Enelish-John, Jack. Haiian-Gioyanni, Ginnni.
Cerman--Iohann Hans. Dutch--lohon. Jan
ETench-Jean. fnssan-ivan or ivan
Spanish--Juan. Gdeh'-ian' perhaps Evan.
The feminine form fthc same name is
not less dvcrsiiicd--e. e., Joan, Jane
jeanne, Jenny, Jennet, Janet, Jeanette
Gianna, Hanne. &C.

The greater number of horses which have

treatment.
Young horses are often very pervcrsc, but

be necessary TO use correction: But it
should always be deferred until the earlier
processes of education are completed, so
that the animal may understand clearly
