We remember to have heard Of
chaplain in the American Navy, who
had fancy for selecting strange and
seemingly unneaning passages Of scrip
ture-scraps of verses, unsuggestive of
reflections or thought of any kind-ior
texts, and then writing elegant, instruc-
tive sermons upon them. He was
man Of genius and varied accomplish
ments, but full of eccentricity, and this
was one of the modes in which he exhlb-
tied il.
He was serving some twenty-five
years ago, on board Of the odd Wagon
as the saiors used to call one OF the fl
nest lrigates in the navy-on the same
principle, probably, that a clustering,
cowardIy fellow is called Hector. She
was cruising in the Mediterranean, when
our chaplain one Sunday preached a
sermon on the text-"They drove them
out of the mountains, but they could not
drive them out of the valleys, for they
had chariots Of IRON" The officers ad-
mired the learning and ingenuity dis
played in the discourse, but it was APP
parenty So far above the comprehen-
sion of The crew, that the captain DEEM
cd it a waste Of skill, and suggested
that sermons of simpler and more
practical nature would be more useful
OH shipboard. Some months after
wards, while lying at Port Mahon,
circumstance occurred which showed
that the text dwelt in the mind Of one of
the sailors, whether he understood the
sermon or not. TIE chaplain went
ashore one day, in company with the
first lieutenant. Ascending the hill on
which the town stands, they me! ia
vorite old quartermaster ina state OF
intoxicstion supported by several Of
his shipmates, who were urging him to
90 on board.
With the obs,inacy of drunkenness,
he resisted all their entreaties, and
swore he would take Mahon, and drive
the Dons into the Mediterranean. The
lien,enah, spoke to the man with some
sternness ordering him on board direct
ly. With the habitual respect for his
officer, which the sailor rarely iorgets,
he promised compliance, and with the
aid Of his comrades, got under way in
the right direction. On the return Of
the lieutenant and chaplain, they found
the sailors a short distance from where
they left them, the quartermaster roar
ing drunk and wholly unmanageable.
The chaplain, TO save him from pun
ishment, assisted him forward, and af:er
IA good deal OF difficulty got hlm 10 the
foot of the hill. Not an inch further
would he bulge. Down he sat in the
sand, telling The chaplain that il was OF
no use bothering him-he intended 10
stay there until the next day. The
clergyman still persisted in his work oi
mercy, when at last the quartermaster,
with quizzical sort OF leer upon his
face, accostcd him thus" Look here,
parson, you may just as well leave me
alone. You've druv me out Of the
mountain, but you can't drive me out Of
the valleys, for | am a chariot of iron,
| bv-!"

The beau monde is in great excite

LOVE FOR THE SCRIpruREs.-Mr
Webster's attachment 10 the Bible has
already been mentioned; indeed, lie
loves and he reads that priceless volume
as It ought to be loved and read. He
never makes journey without carrying
a copy with him ;and the writer would
testify that he never listened 10 the story
OF the Savior, or heard oi Of the prophe-
cies Of Isaiah, when it sounded so SUI
perbly eloquent as when coming from
his lips. Those admitted 10 the intimacy
of his converse ion alone can tell of the
eloquent fervor with which lie speaks of
the inspired writings; how. much light
he can throw on difficult text how
much beauty lend TO expressions that
would escape all but the eye of genius ;
what new vigor he can give to the most
earnest thought and what elevation,
even to subllmily.
1t would be impossible Gor any one to
listen Uul an HOuT 10 one ol Ills ulsseTta-
tions on the Scriptures, and not believe
in their inspiration, or his. And yet,
while his private conversations and pub
lie productions attest how deeply he is
imbued with the spirit OF the Scriptures,
neither the one nor the other ever con-
tained the slightest irreverent allusion
to any passage IN them, any thing in the
way Of illustration, analogy, or quota
ton, which would seem to question their
sanctity. He has been scrupulously
delicate in this regard, and therein diff
iers widely from most ofhis cotempora-
ries in public life as he reads and ad-
mires the Bible for its eloquencc, SO does
he venerate it for lis sacredness.
