To THE PoIST.-We have never seen scrptu-
raj quotations more apiy applied than in the
following dialogue, which took place at the ta-
BILE of Bishop Doane:
1t is stated that Bishop Doane, Of New Jersey,
is strongly opposed to temperance. A short time
since, Rev. Mr. Perkins, of the same denomina-
tion, and a member of the order Of Sous, -
dined with the Bishop who, pouring ont glass
OF wine, desired the reverend gentleman to
drink with him, wherenpon lie replied:
Cant do it, Bishop, wine is mocker.'" +"
Take glass of brandy then, = said the dis
tinguished ecclesastic.
.'Cnnt do it, Bishop, Strong drink is ra.
ging."
BY this time the Bishop, becoming some wha,
resive and excited, said to Mr.. Perkins:
You'll pass the decanter to the gentleman
neat to YOU
No. Bishop, cant do that; woe unto him
that puiteth the bottle to his neighbors lips"
What the peculiar mental condition or
moral state of the Bishop at this stage of the
proceeding our informant did not state.

WoMEN VS.. OxEN.--A certain clergyman once
addressing his audience in the southern part OF
New Jersey, had occasion to quote Luke xiv. Is.
30: "A certain man made great supper, and
bade many, and sent his servant at suppertime,
To saw 10 them that were bidden, Come. for all
things are now ready And then they sll. with
nne consent, began to make excuse. The first
said unto him. have bought piece OF ground.
and must needs 60 and see it: pray thee
have me excused And another said. have
bought five yoke of oxen, and go TO prove
them: pray have me excused And another
said, / have married wife: and therefore. !
can not come.'" Now" said The venerable
clergyman, .you sec the man that bought The
land merely wished to be excused. The man
that bought FIVE yoke o. oxen merely wished to
be excused but the man that had married the
wife said positiyeIy- therefore (for this reason
| can not come SO you see, my hearers. that a
| ponsan can dreD man further from God THAN

THE DISTANCE THE Sun FROM THE EARTH
IScREAsISe--The German journals have given
some tables which prove that the distance be-
tween the earth and the sun is increasing annu-
ally by the one-thousandth part of that distance,
and they argue from it that the loss of fertility
by the earth are to be attributed solely to this
circumstance. E
In the course of six thousand years from the
present lme they assume that the distance will
be so great that only eighth part Of the
warmth now enjoy from the sun will be
communicated to the earth, and il will then be
covered with eternal ice. in the same manner
as we now see the plains Of the north, where
tie elephant formerly lived, and have neither
spring nor autumn.
No credit has heretofore been given TO a ira
dition of the ancient Egyptians and Chinese, ac-
cor,ling to which these people formerly saw the
suns disc almost four times as large as we now
see it; for they estimated The apparent diane.
ter Of the sun as the double of what it is seen
in our day. IT, however, we pay attention 10
the continued dimunition of the apparent diam
eter of the sun. according to the best observa-
tions .f several centuries. we must suppose that
the ancients were not mistaken in the estimator
they have transmitted TO ms.
