Rebecta, Gen. "a: 81; to the maidens Of
Job, Job :5 to those of Boaz, Ruth ~
8, 22, %, and 3: 2; to the damsels OF ABB,
gail, Sam 25: AZ. I'm most other passa-
ges it means simply a girl or young woman.
There is no evidence that IT ever means a
hired maid d-serran or that it ever means a
maid in the sense of rirgin. Two ether
words were used by the Hebrews TO desig-
nate the latter. Our translators have
been peculiarly unfortunate in their use
of the word maid. They have employ
ed it in rendering no less than FIVE dif-'
ferent Hebrew words and of all the va
rious meanings, of which the word is sus-
ceptible, it is sometimes impossible to de-
eide which is the true one, without refer
ring to the original. 1t is, however pretty
certain that It never, in the Bible, means q
hired maid. The other words which are
applied to bond-woman, are not ambiguous.
as used in the English Bible. .Maid-ser-
rani, roman-serram and handmaid always
designate female slaves except when used
fieuratively in the form OF respectful ad-
dress.
The Hebrew word translated masier Is
adon. II is derived from verb which sig
nifes to judge and to govern. Its meaning
is ruler, possessor. II is the correlativc
term to ebcd, in all its various signifca!ions
1t is used in every case, when the master
of domestic slave is spoken Of as such. in
the Hebrew Bible. II is applied to polit-
ical ruler Gen. AZ: 800 Sam. 9:9 10.
1t is repeatedly made the title of our Mas
ter in Heaven. When applied to Him, u
is always used in the plural number, ac-
cording to peculiarly of the Hebrew /; a.
are also some other appellations of the De-
ity. This is called by grammarians tho
"plural of excellence" The word is used
in the language of respectful address;
in which case, it is translated lord.-
But 1t is never used as the correlitive
of sakir il never designatesT thel en-
ployer of hired servant. The lord, adon.
of servant is one who is his owner, or at
least one who has control over him which
is not derived from the consent of the ser
want. When applied TO the master Of do
mestic slave, the word is generally transla-
ted master but sometimes, lord, as in Gen.
80: 16. When otherwise applied, it is al
most always rendered lord. The Seventy
translate adon by the word kurios. This
word, as used by by them, and by the New
Testament writer's, corresponds, with re-
markable accuracy, to the Hebrew term, in
all its varied Specifications. Since, how
ever, the Greek language does not admit
the "plural of excellence" it cannot distin-
guish between our Divine Master and hu-
man masters, in the manner in which the
Hebrew does. The main point to be notic-
ed, in reference..to the present discussion,
is that when the word is applied to the mas
ter of domestic, it designates slave
owner.
The results of this verbal investigation
will be of great use. in helping us to under
stand the testimony of the Old Testa-
ment on the subject of slavery.
Yours respectfully,
NOVANGLUS.

ExAGGERATIoN.-If there be any man
nerism that is universal among mankind it
is that of colering too highly the things we
describe. We cannot be content with a
simple relation of truth we must exagger-
ate, we must have ga little too much red in
the brush" Who ever heard of dark
night that was not "pitch dark" of stout
man who was not "as strong, as horse ?"
Or a miry road that was not cup to the
knee p We would walk "ffty miles on
foot to see that man who never cancatures
subject on which he speaks. But where
is such man to be found' "From rosy
morn to dewy eve, lin our conversation, we
are constantly outraging truth. If Ifsomewhat
wakeful in the night, eve scarcely had a
wink of sleep" if our sleeves got little
damp in shower, we are "as wet as if
dragged through brook" if breeze blows
up while we are sin the chops of the chan
nel," the waves are sure to 'run mountains
high - and If man grows rich, we all say
that he 'rolls in money" No later than
yesterday friend, who would shrink from
wilful Misrepresentation, told US hastily las
he passed, that the newspaper had nothing
in it but advertisements.

to accomplish this,the appointed hour found
her with her work but half done, yet true
to her promise, she retired to her room and
turned the key in the door.
After spending perhaps half an hour in
forming her plans for study she drew up
table, placed her books before her, prepar-
ed pen & paper, and commenced with much
enthusiasm. Scarcely was the pen dipped
in the ink when there was atrampling of lit

TALLow ON A PIMpLE.-Last week, at
Hull, young man named VIM Heich, hav-
ing pimple on his face that was rather
sore, put some tallow on it one night previ-
GUS to going to bed; modification ensued,
which ended in his death, although the af-
fected part was cut away. The candlestick
was brass one, and quantity of verdi
girls had formed on the top of but wheth-
er modification resulted from that or from
the tallow purely, can hardly be said, but
this painful incident should act as another
caution against the practice of applying can
die tallow to sores. We have heard of two
or three Instances lately where injurious
consequences have followed such use of tai

MESSAGES FROM EDGAR a. POE.

The last number of the Spirit Messenger con-

whose spirit they aie alleged to have emana'ed.-
They were communicated through the "wrll'ng
medium" Lydia Tenuy.
We may over.rate these productions, yet while
we are aware Of certain limpings in the measure,
they appear to us TO be sleeped in the very spirit
Of Poe, whether they emanated from his spirit or
not. The allusion to the "fearful spirit spasm,"
phrase most felcitous in describing Poe'S life Of
darkness; the "hi4euus but alluring fancies" in
which he groaned and on which he gloaied; the
incidental, hardly percept5le. alluson to that one
soul that haunted all his poems-the "Losi Le-
nore''--all tend 10 show that it is the work Of a
