The Bible Against Drunkards.

Awake, re d,unkards, and weep and
howl all We drinkers of wine. For the
'lrunkard and the glutton shall come to pow

drunkards, nor jewellers, nor extortioners, i'm.

that rise up early in the morning that they
may follow strong drink; that continue un.
I'll night, till wine inflame them. DO not
drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy
sons with thee, when ye go into the taber.
uacle of the congregation, lest ye die il,
shall be statute forever throughout your
generations. Strong drink shal! lie litter
10 them that drink it; neither shall any
priest drink wine when they enter the inner
court, for they have also erred through
strong drink, and through wire are ont of

erred through strong drink they are swal
lowed up of wine, they are out of the way
through strong drink, they err in vision,
they stumble in judgment.
Who hath Woe? who hath sorrow who

Abound the mighty master came
The maryels which his pencil wrought,
Those miracles Of power whose fame
Is wide as human thought.
There droop'd thy more than mortal face.
% Mother, beautiful and mild
Enfolding in one dear embrace
Thy Saviour and thy child
The rapt brow Of the Desert John;
The awful glorv Of that day
When all the Fathers brightness shons
Through manLood's veil of clay.
And, 'tnidst gray prophet forms, and wild
Dark visions Of the days Of old,
How sweetly woman's beauty smiled
Through locks Of brown and gold
There Fornarinas fair young face
Once more upon her lover shone,
Whose model Of an angels grace
He borrow'd from her own.
Slow pass'd that vision from my view,
But not the lesson which it taught,
The sof, calm shadows which il threw
Still rested on my thought.
The truth, that painter, bard and sage,
Even in earth's cold and changeful cline,
Plant for their deathless heritage
The fruits and flowers Of time.
We shape ourselves the JOY or fear
OF which the coming life is made,
And fiji our futures atmosphere
With sunshine or with shade.
The tissue Of the life TO be
We weave with colors all our own.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE KORAN.
The Koran was written about A. ID. 6l0.
Its general aim was 10 unite the professions
of ldolatry and the Jews and Christians in
The worship Of one God-whoss unity was
the chief point inculcated-u certain
laws and ceremonies, exacting obedience TO
Mahomet as the prophet. 1t was written in
the koreish Arabic, and this language,
which certainly possessed every fine quality,
was said To be that of paradise. Mahomet
asserted that the Koran was revealed 20
him, during period of twenty t!rec years,
10y The Angel Gabriel. The style of tue vol
nme is beautiful, fluent, and concise, and
where the majesty and the attributes Of God
are described it is sublime, magnificent.
Mahomet admitted the divine mission both
of Moses and Jesus Christ. According to
Gibbon. the leading article Of faith which
M1homet preached is compounded of an
eternal truth and a necessary fiction, nans-
ly, that there is only one God, and that Ma.
homet is the apostle of God. The Koran
was translated into Latin in ll43, and into
English and other European languages
about 1903. 1t is a rhapsody of 5000 YER
ses, divided into ia sections.

the names of the days of our weeks are de

CmERoKEE WHIsKEY FRozE Ur.-We
make the following extract from n letter re
ceived this morning, from an esteemed friend
at Marietta. 1t speaks for itself, and not
very favorable Of Cherokee whiskey.
"Iou see we are in the midst of the cold
est weather on this side of Laplapd, which
will proceed to prove. A day or two
since biped, of the genus homo, from
Cherokee, started to >tlanta. with load of
corn juice, commonly called whiskey, for
sale. \ little below Marietta, night over
took him, and he pitched his tent, to await
the arrival Of q new day.
What was nu surprise in the morning to
find the hoops all bur>led from his barrels,
and instead Of his beloved beverage, rs
many icy pillars stood before him, as he had
barrels, reminding him Of certain lady Of
olden time, who we are informed, was trans
formed into pillar Of salt.
The last heard Of him; he was returning
back home with bis icy load, saying ne had
one consolation left him, it would make first
rate ice puncb next summer. So il will.

blessed us with a home which is not at all

Law abiding citizens who are not involved in
politics dc not seem to appreciate the extraordinary
and hazardous position in which they are placed by
the rebellion agaiI st the authority of the State
dertaken by Mayor Wood and encouraged by the
lower strata of Border Ruflian politicians and Office
holders. The City of New-York is in a state of
anarchy, and in danger at any moment of con0agra.
ton and rapine Not only the Police act, but all
laws aud ordinances are set at defiance, and moth
ing stands between the honest man and the knife
of the assassin-between his warehouse and the
torch of the incendiary-but the vague impression
that the first overt act Of unusual magnitude
would be- the signal for Vigilance Committee to
purge the Metropolis, from the City Hall to Har.
lem River, according to the bloody and merciless
code recently executed in San Francisco. 1t is
with no ordinary apprehension that one can deb-
eIately survey the conditions which have brought
US to this pass, and which inevitably point to
such fearful future. For the first time in the his
tory of an American city, We find the Chief Magis
trate heading, not peaceful and legitimate protest
against supposed unconstitutional enactments, but
bold and defiant rebellion in advance of Judicial
trial. Instead Of submitting, as by his oath he is
bound 10 do 10 all regularly -eDacted laws of the
STATE be chooses to Set aside his oath and endanper
the public safety by refusing TO recognize such laws
He calls together his. political friends and openly
takes up arms against The laws as party man, not
| as an officer; for Tammany Hall, not for. the
people; and the boast now is, among the City Hall
officials, that they will surely upset the laws, simply
because their party have u majority of the Judges
Of Appeals. The rebellion, as we have heretofore
shown, is purely political; undertaken to support
the falling fortunes Of the political sdvcnturer Fer.

been enabled to coax or buy the omission of their
names from the weekly list. This, if so, is griev.
Gus wrong, to be repented Of sud amended. We
call on Dir. II. c. Bowen, who is understood to be
the responsible furnisher of the list to deny the
charge OF explain the circumstances to which ailu-
sion is made. Unless the weekly list Of bank
ruptcies is complete and reliable it is fraud on the
public and invidious toward those whose names are
given. If it be so that entreaty or dollars will buy
bsnkrupt's omission from the list, then the pub
LEGATION is humbug-an unjust damaging hum

perfect and thorough, and it will be most useful

A spirited discussion has lately sprung up in GER

of the weekly publication of the new bankrup.s
throughout the United States and Canada, which
was initiated by The Independent some year or two
ago. We most earnestly trust that this publication
may be continued and perfected. That it has done
and is doing great good, We feel assured; and the
fact that the exposed squirm under it strengthens
the argument in favor of publishing. Hitherto,

A member Of the Cabinet to-day received tee-
graphic dispatch from Major McCuloch, declining
the Governorshp of Utah. He, however, expects to
reach this city in the course of ten days.
1t is not true that Judge Drummond has been offered
the appointment, but this afternoon Geographic dis
patch was sent to Western man. whose name is
officially concealed for the present. rendering it to him.
Recent information has caused change in the policy
hitherto contemplated, the condition of Utah now be-
ing such as to require vigorous Troops in
large numbers will be sent thither, probably under
command of Gen. Harvey. The Administration is
anxious to act at once in this important manner,
especially in view of the late obstruction to Judiciary
proceedings and accounts frequently received relative
to expressions by the MOrmons of those who do not
belong to their fraternity.
Much excitement has existed for several days past
in the Pension Bureau in consequence of the alleged
discovery of extensive frauds. Commissioner Whit
ing after close investigation found proofs of vena-
ity but discovered that clerk therein had extended
undue facilities to an agent for claims some of which
were improperly allowed, and required the clerk to
resign his office.
A letter from Mr.. DennisOn, Indian Agent, repre-
sents the accounts of Pawnee depredatons to be
much exaggerated These Indians-3,OOO or 1000 in
number-are in a starving condition, and retallated
upon the whites for supposed wrongs. In the council
which Depnison held with them, they did not deny
that some young men of their tribe were guilty OF
msdemeanors, but none of so serious nature as to
warrant the whites in taking the life OF one OF their
chiefs. They said they were willing to make treaty.
