ORIGIN OF TExrs.-The taking Of a text seems
to have originated with Ezra, who accompanied
by several Levtes, in public congregation of
men and women, ascended pulpit. opened the
book of the law. and after addressing prayer to
the Deity to which the people sad amen, read
in the law OF God distinctly. and gave the sense,
and caused them TO understand the reading.''-
Previous to that time the patriarchS delivered in
public assemblies either prophesies or moral in
structions for the editication of the people. 1t
was not until after the return of the Jews from
Babylonish captivity during which period they
had almost lost the language in which the Pente-
teuch was written, that it became necessary to
explain well as to read Scripture to them-a
practice adopted by Ezra, and since universally
followed. In latter times the book OF Moses was
thus read in the Synagogue every Sabbath day.
To this custom the Savior coniorrned. and in a
synagogue at Nazareth read passages from the
Prophet Isaiah then closing the book returned it
to the priest, and preached from the text. The
custom which prevails all over the Christian
world, was interrupted in the dark ages, when
the ethics OF Aristotle were read in many churches
on Sunday, instead of the Holy Scriptures.

are known to be on board ships already in the
harbor and that large number, of which no ac-

The New York Evening Post and the Buffalo
Republic have both replied with spirit to the ar
tice of the Washington Union, reading them out
OF the Democratic party. The Evening Post calls
upon the Union to go with the work it has be-
gun. 1t says;
Those who scribbie for that print must grid up
their lons, and go to work in earnest, There is
great deal for them to do Here lin New York;
are forty fifty journals to be turned out of the
Democratic party; large number of the Demo-
cratic members of the New York Legislature and
all the immense constituency of these members.
There is work enough of this sort to keep the
Union busy till the next session of Congress, and
1t is heavy work for hot weather. Perhaps the
Argus will tighten the labor by furnishing a list
of the heretical journals alluded to- and in prepar-
ing articles of denunciation ana eXcision against
the petty offenders leaving the Union to pro-
nounce sentence upon the more hardened and au-
dacious enemies. By this friendly division of la
Dor the task may, according to our computation,
be finished about the end of dog days.
The Post certainly seems to think that, when
the Washington Union shall have read all the
Freesoilers out of the Democratic party at the
North, the Democratic party will have very little
flesh, blood, bones, gristle left.
