In the following pages it is proposed TO present an
outline of what may be called the incidental attrac
tons of the Bibe-to set forth its claims, both
classic and book of general education. Regard
ed simply book of learning of taste and genius,
of history and eloquence, it has eXerted influence
which cannot be too highly estimated, and commends
itself TO every cultivated understanding It is the
book of learning, less than religion; the
basis of our civilization, less than salvation.
1t has moulded into shape, it has quickened into life
the whole body of secular learning, as well
theology; it has breathed its vital spirit all
science literature, legislation, philosophy and So
cal and political institutions
1t is these attractions, which may be felt and APP
preciated even by the irregious and worldly mind
ed which propose to group together in distinct
and connected view Our object will be 10 speak of
the Book of God production Of inspired genius
and classic taste to reveal something of its immeas-
urable wealth, as field of knowledge and mine of
wisdom, model of eoquence master piece Of poe
sy text book Of instruction; and thus render it,
so far as We shall be able, attractive TO all.

Poisonous AND UGLY RRpr11Es.-A few
days since, as box of fruit from Palermo was
being opened in the fruit store of Messrr
Reed & Forbush, 81 Merchants row, a live
eentipede of the most venomous class. was
disclosed to view, and after somewhat pro-
tracted chase about the store, and among bar.
rels and boxes, it was captured and inmedi-
ately consigned to bottle filled with alcohol.
where it soon expired, after manifesting it's
utter distaste for its treatment in a variety of
contortions. The deadly, poisonous reptile
measured some six inches in length, and has
torty-two distinct legs, each about three
tourths of an inch long. A living scorpion
was discovered in the same box of fruit, and
was conslg9ed to the same liquid element as
Its poisonous companion. Both reptiles will
be preserved ior the inspection of the curious.
