Argument FOR the Bible.

There are four arguments for tho
truth Of tho Bible. The first is tho
miracles onrccord;thc second the propL-
ecies; the third the goodness of the doc
trine; the fourth the moral character
of the penmen. The. miracles flew
from divine power; the prophecies
from divine understanding I; the excel
lence of the doctrine from Divine good
nesss the moral character of the pen
man, from divine purity. Thus, Chris
tianity is built upon the four immova.
bic pillars--the power, the understand.
ing, the goodness, the purity of God.
The Bible must be one ofthese things;
either an invention of good men or
good angels; of bad men or bad angels;
or revelation from God. BUTT could
not be the invention of good men, or
angels; for they neither could or would
max a book telling lies at that time,
saying, I"Thus saith the Lord" when
they knowit all ,to. be their own inven.
tion. It could not be tho invention
of wicked men, or devils, for they
could not make, book which COM
mands all duty, which forbids all sin.
and which condemns thor soul to all
eternity. The conclusion is irresist
able--thc Bible must be given by di.
vine inspiration.-Bsshop Simpson.

Hospital Experiences at CaWnpore.

An assistant Surgeon in the East In
dia Company's service at Cawnporc,
writing to his wife in England, gives a
fearful picture Of his, hospital exberi-
ence, and his letter illustrates the in.
human character of war. He says:
During the sixteen days We were in the
entrenchments | had tremendous work.
All the wounded in the two previous
battles were brought in. The first day
| amputated eight limbs, dressed more
than eighty wounds, and so on every
day eating biscuit and beef, and
drinking tea or water when the oppor.
tnnity offered. Three round shot pas
sed through my hospital roof, bring
ing down tiles and dirt, but iniuring no
one. The bullocks andcamels suffered
most several being killed. Plenty of
bullets pattered against the walls, bu.
they were too high for mischief, be-.
cause the earthworks protected the low
er part. . .as. s.. ra0 ~-"a9 a' 0.. ..'H
We have now 800 sick and wounded
with one surgeon Or. Diaper) and
eight assistant surgeons. The work
have done lately no one would credit :;
during the time we were in the fort, six
days were but as one of incessent toll.
The hard work had one beneficial ef-
feet upon me, that | felt almost indif-
ferent as to the proceedings Of the en-
emy, though towards the end was
almost done up. All my clothes we're
spoiled with blood " I went about in
my shirt sleeves and bareheadcd; nv
hair was matted with blood my hands
and arms covered with blood; blood
spirited from arteries into my mouth
and eyes indeed was covered With
blood. How many bullets | extracted
t--how many wounds Iprobcd, staunch-
ed and dressed--how many operations
l performed or assisted att cannot
say; but certainly saw, in one week
more surgery than most surgeons wit
ness in a lifetime; and trust | am
lProportionally improved by my cxpe-
iriencc. cannot spare one thought
to the future as regards my own pros
poets. 1t has pleased God to sepa-
rate me from those who are near and
dear to me; but of one thing, / am sure
i am only doing my duty; here is
: my place, amongst those who who fight
and bleed and die; they are noble fcl.
lows, and whilst l have strength will
work for them with my whole might.

THE President and Hiram Poyey

The President and Hiram PoWers.
1t is now some six years since Con-
gress authorized President Pierce to
contract with Hiram Powers for his
"America' as an ornament of the Cap.
ltoI, at price not to exceed $4,000.
That order has not been given up to
this time. The bject was pressed up
on the attention of President Pierce
from time to time by the friends of
MIR. Powers, but without any important
result. The President said there were
two things to be considered--'the iit-
ness ofthe statute and tho price )" and
no considered upon it until within a
week of the expiration of his term Of
office, when he said to Capt. Meigs
that if Mr.. Powers would make the
statue colossal, he would give the or
der. Mr.. Powers promptly agreed to
do SO, and in reply received letter
from Mr.. Meigs, Informing him that
the Presidentre refused to do anything a ,
bout it, even to take the necessary
steps to save the appropriation, which
but for tile timely exertion Of some
friends in Congress would have laps.
ed.
What conclusion Mr.. Buchanan has
come to, if any, ON the subject we can
not say. We understand lis attention
has been called to it BY the friends of
Mr.. Powers, who were referred to
Capt. Meigs. Further than that moth
ing has yet transpired. Why this de.
lay in recognizing and as far as posi-
bic rewarding, the merits Of one of the
most eminent living seulptors? In
stead of sending to France to get works

SINGULAR Casa WARN1NG. :

2, SINGULAR CAsE,-A WARS1NG.-
The Newport Spectator aays there is
a young man in the town of Vermont
mho cannot speak 70 his .father. Pre-,
vlous to his birth some difference arose
between his mother x her husband,
and for a considerable time she refused
to speak to him. The difficulty was
subsequently healed-the child was
born, and in due time began to talk,
bit, when sitting with his father, was
invariably silent. 1t continued so un-
til II was five years old, when the faith
er, after having, exhausted his powers
OF persuasion, threatened it with pun
ishment forrit stubbornness. When
the punishment was inflicted it elicit
ed nothing bpt sighs and groans, which,
told too plainly that the little sufferer
was vainly cndeavoring to speak
All who were present united in this
opinion, that at soas impossible for the
child to speak to its futher-and time
proved their. opinion TO be correct
At maturer age its efforts to converse
with its parent could only produce
tho most bitter sighs and groans.-
Tho individuals alluded to, says the,
Spectator, are all in respectable circum.
stances, and our information has not
only resided in their neighborhood f6s
years, but is personally acquainted
with the family. ...

FIX YOUR MIND,-Lay it down a:
a sound maxim, Nothing can be ac.
complished without fixed purposes
concentration of mind and energy
Whatever you attempt to do, whether
1t be the writing Of an essay, or whit.
ting of stick, let it be done as well
as you can do it. 1t was this habit
that made Franklin, and Newton, and
hundreds whose labors have been Of
incalculable service to mankind. Fix
your mind closely and intently on what
you undertaken no other way can
you have reasonable hope of success.
An energy that dies in a day is good
Tor nothing-an hours fixed attention
will never avail. The heavens we're
not measured in a day. The inventions
that bless mankind we're not the result
of moments thought and investiga.
ton. A lifetime has often been given
to single object. If you, then, have
a desire to bless your species, or to
get to yourself a glorious name, fix
your mind upon something, ana let it
remain fixed. '..
