parallels, his long and deeply interesting
conversation with his discip pies recorded in
John xiv to xviii inclusive, are very at
traclive portions of the New Testament.
Also Peters sermon on the day Of Pen
tecosi, Paul's touching address before
Agrippa, bis chapter to the Romans (xii)
on christian duties-to the Corinthians on
charity and the resurrection (xiii-xv) as
well as some Of his opening and closing
chapters to the Hebrews.
Next to Isaiah, may be placed, perhaps,
Tue beautiful description which the Apos
lie John, on the Isle Of Patmos, gives of
the Son of Man." The letters of Ia
Saviour to the Seven Churches of Asia
are not to be overlooked in pointing out
the beauties Of the Bible.
The closing chapters Of the book Of
Revelation containing description Of the
New Jerusalem are hardly surpassed in
beauty or elegance by any other portion
Of the Holy Bible.
They bring to proper close book,
sublime in thought, pure in its morality,
touching in its appeals and warnings, and
beautiful in its description Of men and
things.
The Bible commences with an account
of man, holy and happy in Eden, created
in the image Of his Maker,-it follows him
down through the long course of time with
its counsels, lis warnings, its admonitions,
its promises and its prophecies, to the day
ofjudgment. 1t closes with description
of the "Beloved City" 1t leaves the
reader contemplating the beauties aud glo-
r'es of the holy city, new Jerusalem."-
its pearly gates, its golden streets, its river
of life, its inetiable radiance pouring from
the throne ofGod aud the Lamb. Every
thing IS there to make the soul wise, hap
py, and glorious. Enough, and far more
than enough, is there to compensate for
the loss of blissful Eden, and the tolls and
trials Of sin state.
What book then is equal to the Bible
Why should any one esteem the trashy
rttusions Of the novelist above the sublime
and beautiful teachings of Moses, David,
Daniel, Isaiah AMI John! What is the

BEAUTIFUL CHAPTERS.

"All scripture is given by inspiration o
God and is profitable" but there arc
many chapters in the Bible which the
christian takes greater delight in reading
than other portions.
These beautiful portions Of the sacred
record sometimes constitute part or the
whole Of one single chapter; at other
times they run through several chapters
in the form Of narrative or Historical
sketch.
What is more beautiful, not 10 say sub
lime, than the first and second chapters OF
Genesis-giving an account Of creation
and the garden of Edenl Indeed many
Of the chapters that follow are written in
n style simple, chastc and captivating.
The account Of Cain and Abel, Noah
and the Flood, the story Of Lot, of Hagar,
of Abraham and the angels,-his faith,
trials and journeys-all beautiful. Pass.
ing over the contention and the reconci.
liation Of Esau anl Jacob, together with
the trials and crosses Of the latter in the
family of Laban-who can read the sim
pie, tender beautiful story of Joseph, with
out the mingled emotions of indignation,
pity and joyl Indignation for his wrongs,
sympathy in his sutferings, and joy in his
triumphs.
Many interesting passages are fouId in
tue life of Moses, Of David, and Of Daniel.
W could not undertake 10 enumerate the
chapters and Psalms and point out THEN
excellencies. The attentive reader cannot
fail to note many beautiful Psalms in the
collection of David, and many things Of
the deepest interest in the life and times
of Moses, or in the events that happened
to Daniel in the palace at Babylon, or in
the lions den. Few portions of Scripture
engage the attention more, as a record Of
facts, than the Book of Esther. vashti
excites our sympathy, Esther our admira
ton Mordecai calls forth our appreciation
for his manly, independent course, and
Haman merits and receives our condem
nation. Though the word God is no.
where mentioned in the book Of Esther,
yet we see plainly that Procidenee pro
tectcd his children, especially Mordecai,
from the Vaccinations Of the wicked Ha
man, and while we regret the base
schemes Of this man against the life Of the
humble, independent Jew that "sat in the
kings gate," we cannot but rejoice u
witness the manner in which an over-ru
ing Providence circumvented these wicked
schemes, and delivered Mordecai, just IL
t'me, from the hand of his enemy.
Isaiah is esteemed the most sublim,
among the writers Of the Scriptures, ant
There are no other books equal to tn,
Scriptures in sub,mity, beauty and pathos
II these things are so, then Isaiah stand
at the head Of the long line of writer's a
excelling in richness and subIimity o
thought, expressed iu elegant, lively, beau
tiful language. See most Of the chapter
from the 35th 10 the close Of the book.
Though the New Testament deals ics
in description and narrative than the old
yet il is by no means destitute Of beauty

A MOHAMMEDAN TRADITION

The following story is related by all
good Musselmen as an authentic and yer.
liable piece OF 'tradtion,' illustrative ofthc
fact that the Devil himself has duties TO
perform IN the world, and that all things
would go wrong If he were tc be idle, and
neglect them, viz:
In the days of Mohammcd, there was
an Brab who had a very pretty wife.
lhe Devil transformed himself Into so ex.
act and accurate a likeness of her husband
that she co3Id not for the life of her tell
which OF the two was hcr!,usLand. Both
claimed her. c. the real husband and
the DevlIin his likeness. The case excited
much interest in the ncghborhood, but no
solution otthe difficulty could be obtained.
AZ length the case was brought before his
Majesty the Prophet, FOR solution. 40
manned, after little reflection, held IN
IL certaln earthcn pot in his hand, with =
spout like teapot, aud said to them both,
Now whichever is the real husband will
enter tins vessel by the spout, and thus cs.
tabIlSh his claim TO the woman. The
Devil as having more capacity in that
way than the sturdy Arab, Of real flesh
and bones, entered at once into the pot us
suggested. The moment he entered Mo.
hammed closed the top of the spout and
kept HIM shut in. But by the time Mo.
BANNED had kept his cxcellcncy shu, up
Il few days in that carthcn pot, it was as
ccriaIncd tha! the world was GETTING
wrong IN AL its machinery. Mohammel
was, therefore, constrained TO let the Devil
out from hlS confinement, to take his ne.
ccSSary place in the management of the
affairs Of the world. But before restoring
hm to his liberty again, Mohammed ex.
tort"d II solemn promise from him that he
would never trouble the fair SEX any more
but con.inc himself to what hc could do
among the male seX.'

A PECULIAR PEOPLE.

Christians are required to be peculiar
people. How! In holiness Of heart and
life; in conformity 10 God, and non .confor-
nifty to this world. 1t is an inward rath
er that an outward peculiarly (having
salt III themsclves); in fact, never the lat
ter for its own sake, as many sincere but
injurious persons seem to imagine; as
though religion consisted in the adoption
OF certain manners, tones, gestures, dress,
or other tritling singulari,ics; all which
may, and too oitcn does consist, with the
remains of a worldly spirit; and if not, is
at least blemish on their Christian pro-
fession. Nevertheless, though their be no
outward peculiarly for its c.wn, there may
DC for the sake of religion. There will be
an outward difference in those who are
inwardly separated from the world, not
Intentionally, but n consistent acting on,
OF their principles in strict accordance with
Gods Word, will in many things ncccssa-
rlly ob!'ge them to run counter to the max.
inns and customs of u corrupt world, and
this will Cat times at least) bring on them
the charge Of singularity; and ii il should.
they will ret be ashamed, or shrink from
the mputation. 1t is then \ kind OF suf
fering "for righteousness sake"-,he pcrsc.
cution which must be suffered of all them
that will live godly is Christ Jesus; a part
OF Their appointed course. Christianity,
be it remembered, is not feeling, sen
tlment and opinion, a belief; it is al! these
n 'eed, but il is much more. Nis a
p,nc,ple a living life giving, practical
principle, working from the inner and svir.
'lual being to the eternal; like the living
waters described in Ezekiel, imparting
their own life TO all within their roach
Communings wiM the Heart.

DOMESTIC RECIPES,

BLAcKBERny WINE.-To every three
pnts of berries add one quart Of water :;
suffer 1t to stand twenty four hours; strain
irst through a culiender, then through a
jelly bag; and to every gallon of the juice
add three pounds Of good brown sugar,
the white "' :wo eggs, beaten to a froth,
with a piece Of isngass (three inches
square will be enough for three gaIlcns)
dissolved in the juice, little spice, one
nutmeg, one dozen cloves; the spice should
be beaten and put. in small linen bag,
then dropped in. After all are mixed, put
it into stone jug filled up and kept full
with some OF the same juice reserved for
that purpose, until it is done working,
which will be in seven or eight days.
Cork it tightly and keep it in cold place
for three or four months then pour it off
in bottles. with little loaf sugar in each
bottle. Cork and seal close II the wine
is kept twelve months, it will still be bet
ter; and it will continue to improve with
age.
CURs FOR RATrLEsHAKE BrE.-Thc
following is from the last number of the
Wisconsin FGrmer:-"Take the yolk of
good egg, and put it in a teacup; stir in
with it as much salt as will make il thick
enough not 10 run off Spread it as n
plaster and apply 1t to the wound. and
we wi insure your life for sixpence." If
this is n reliable reccip, it is the most sim.
pie one we have yet seen for the purpose
but we want evidence Of its value.
