doubt, is certain, that in life, MS in wine, hs

Of aye may be. that whereas younger men
are usually in pain whenever they are not
in pleasure, old men find IL sort of pleasure,
when they are out ofpain and as young men
often lose or impair their present enjoyments
by craving after what is to come, by vain
hopes or fruitlcss fears, SO old men relieve
the wants Of their age by pleasing reaec-
tons upon what is past. Therefore, men
i'll the health and vigor of their age should
endeavor to fill their lives with reading,
with travel, with the best conversation, and

TranscriJing Of tic Scriptures. - In
transcribing the sacred writings, it has been
a constant rule with the Jews, that what
ever is considered corrupt shall not be used,
but shall be burnt, or otherwise DESTROYED.
A book Of the law wanting but ono letter,
with one letter too much, or with an error
in the single letter, written with anything
but ink, or written OIL parchment made of
the hide Of an unclean animal, or OH parch-
ment not properly prepared for that use, or
prepared by any but lsraelitcs, or on skins
of parchment tied together by unclcan
strings, shall be holden to be corrupt; that
no word shall bc written without q line first
drawn OH the parchment, no word written
by heart, or without having been pro-
nounced orally by tho writer; that before
he writes the name of God, he shall wash
his pen that no letter shall be joined to
another, and if the blank parchment can
not be seen all around each letter, tile roll
shall be corrupt. There are certain rules
for the length and breadth Of each letter,
each word, and each section.
Even to this day it is an obligation on
the persons who copy the sacred writings
of the synagogues, to observe them.
