Every man has bis strong point
The strong point of J. @. Bennett is
not quoting scripture Of eoutce. lie
gives us the following paragraph
THE BArtrsrs AND THE NEw VER-
SION or THE ScRpruREs.-1he annual
convention Of that portion Of the Bap-
tist denomination who are In favor Of
a new version or translation Of the
Scriptures, will be held in the Broom
street church, on the 5th and 9th Of
next month. Our readers are already
tonversant with the cause Of the d.
vision in this Church, and it is there
fore unnecessary to enter into any Of
the particulars, 1t is sufficient TO say
that no successful attempt has beet,
inade az vet to bring about settle
ment Of the various questions in dis
pute between the two sections.---
Meantime the new versionists have
entered upon the prosecution Of their
work-the translation Of the Old and
New Testamepts-and have quite re-
Gently published the fruits Of their Ia
bor.-These embrace the Epistles Of
Peter, John, Judns and Revelations
The name of Judas is generally
reserved for Judas tseariot. We be-
lieve it was Jude and not Judas, who
wrote cononical epistle.
DEvELorMENr OF FRAtD.-Everv
now and then facts are ELECTED which
serve to explain how some Of the 'fast
young met" are enabled to make so
much show on moderate salaries -
Here is another instance, rs related
by the New York Journal Of Com
it,eree.
An old-established iron manufac-
turing firm found itself seriously EN-
barrassed 10 It's finances, and has just
been obliged to make an assignment to
its creditors. Upon an examination
of the business accounts, it was dis
covered that the clerk, who had levo-
ted considerable time to sailing yachts
and tretting fast horses, and finally
sailed for Eurupe on a pleasure trip,
had been unfaithful TO the trust re-
posed in him. Among other contri-
vances for lining his pockets, be had
been accustomed, each pay day, to set
apart a considerable amount as the
share of wages due to wofkmen who
had not been in the employ Of the
concern for a year past, and appropri-
ating the same as he saw fit.
K'sstNu - Hardly any two females
kiss alike. There il as much variety
in the manner Of doing it as the faces
and manners of the sex. Some deli
cate little creatures merely give
slight brush of the lip. This is sad
aggravation. We seem to be about
to ''have a good time,' but actually
get nothing. Others 60 into il like
hungry man to a beef steak, and seem
to chew up our countenances. This
is disgusting, and soon drives away
delicate lover. Others struggle like
hens when buryipg themselves in dry
dirt. The kiss is won by great exer-
tions, and is not worth as much dis the
trouble costs. Now we are in favor
Of a certain shyness when a kiss is
proposed, but it should not be contin-
ued too long, and when the flair
one" gives in, let her administer it
with warmth and energy. Let there
be soul with it. If she closes her
eyes and sighs deeply Immediately af-
ter it, the effect is greater. She should
be careful not to 'slobber' kiss, but
give it as humming bird runs its bill
into honeysuckle, deep but delicate
ly There is much virtue in a kiss
when well delivered We remember
one we received in our youth which
has lasted US forty years and we be-
lieve it shall be the last thing we will
think of when we die. i
