Oe,eIs OF TExTs.-The taking of a text
seems 10 have originated with Ezra, who, &C.
companied by several LeviIes, in public con-
oresation of men and women, assembled pull
n;t onened the book Of the law, and after ad-
dressing a prayer TO the Deity, to which the
neopIe said Amen, "read in the law of God
d;s,inctly. and gave the sense, and caused them
10 understand the reading" Previously to
tina, time the Patriarchs delivered in public
assemblies either prophecies or moral instruc-
tious for the edi6caiion of the people. 1t was
not until after the return of the Jews from
Baby lonish captivity, during which period
they had almost lost the language in which
the Pentateuch was written, that il became ne
cessary TO explain as we'll as to read Scripture
10 them-a practice adopted by Ezra, and since
universally followed.
We should like the use of these texts great
deal better, if those who use them would IN all
cases "stick to them" We have sometimes
heard men take their text in Genesis, and
preach from Jonah, aud proceed in such tor
tuous unaccounable manner, that except for
the occasional repetition of the text, one would
never have mistrusted the nature of the subject
We heard it once remarked of such discourse,
that if The text had had the small pox, the ser
mon never would have caught it. In commu-
mites like ours we seldom see such specimens
of what surgeons would call Solutions Of con
tinuity," but in some rural districts which we
have whilome visited, they are sometimes pain.

TRAGIC INcIpEST-On Wednesday of last
week a most tragic incident occurred ON the
Central RaiIreqd at Tyrone Station, in this
county, the particulars ofwheh are about as
follows:-An lrishman whose name we have
not learned, and who had been employed about
the road there for some time past was waiting
the arrival of the train to come TO Altoona; and
while lettering about fell in with another man
who was at work on the road; and the two by
some means got into good natured tussle,
when the latter ran boyishiy away, the first
pursued, and in the chase the foremost tripped
and fell, the Irishman (being close upon his
heels) fell over him and by singular fatality
disIoca.ed his neck and died instantly! Afflict
ing Incl lent surely! But how much more
affecting when we add that the very train for
which he was waiting bore his wife and chill
dren, just from ireland, on their way to
meet him. Imagine then the sore anguish
which exercised them while gazing on his cold
and lifeless remains, instead oil receiving his
fond and affec,ionate embraces. The picture
claims tear.-Hollidaysburg Register.
GREEcE.-A letter from Athens, dated May
9th, says:
The case OF the Rev. Mr. King, the Mission
airy from the United States, has taken a new
form. The ministry has decided to pay the
demand mace on his behalf by the American
Minister. Mr.. King had demanded the sum of
twelve or fifteen thousand drachmas for the
site Of building used for public purposes
not as has been stated in the newspapers.
$40 600 drachmas; while the ministry declined
complying with the second demand of MIR.
Marsh. This was that the sentence Of the
ho pdod hxvo
llative act of the Government. By this sen.
tence, Mr.. King was condemned to fourteen
days imprisonment. A demand Of this kind
could not properly be made by one Govern.
: ment OF another. A relief from the difficulty
was presented 10 the fact, that Mr. Marsh had
not been accredited at the Court of Athens,
!, and consequently his interference in the aff1ir
- was not official, but officious. The two United
States frigates that have been expected here
tor some time have not yet arrived.
