AUTHORSHIP oE THE RIBI.Et,

There are, in all, sixty six books
which comprise the volume cf'Holy
Writ, which arc attributed to more
than thirty different authors, or writer's
of the whole. Half Of the New Testa-
ment was composed by st. Paul, and
the next largest writer. is the gentle
and beloved st. John. With the SIM
gle exception ofSt. Paul, neither his
tory nor tradition has testified that
those powerful thinkers and writer's
ever enjoyed the benefits of education,
or were trained to scholarship and
learning; yet how ably have they writ
ten, what eminent characters have been
chronicled by them, and what great
events recorded, both for time and
eternity
Moses, with his vast knowledge and
profound intclligence-thc reformcr,
the dcliver-commcnccd the work;
and John, with his depth Of feeling, and
exquisite tenderness and simplicity,
completed it.

A DEATH BED REVELATION. n
large wine dealer in London, recently
on his death-bcd, being in great dis
tress Of mind, acknowledged to his
friends that his agony was .occasioncd
by the nature Of the business he had
followed for years. He stated that it
had been his habit to purchase all the
sour wines he could, and by making
use of sugar of lead, and other delete
rious substances, restore shc wine to n
palatable taste. He said he did not
doubt he had been the means Of des-
troying hundreds of lives, as he had
from time to time noticed the injuri-
GUS effects Of his mixtures on those
who drank them. He had seen in
stances of this kind where the uncon-
acious victims Of his cupidity, after
wasting and declining for years, des-
pite of best medical advices, went to
their graves, poisoned by the adultcr.
atcd wine she had sold them.
This man died rich, but alas, what
q Legacy did he leave for his children.
