A DISCREPANCY RgcosCILKD.-An appa-
rent discrepancy in the Bible goes great
ways with some people toward destroying
their confidence in the book Of books, when,
frequently, . little enquiry or reflection would
remove the difficulty. Here 10 an instance,
sometimes used by skcptics:
In Genesis xii, /, we fcad, "God tempted
Abraham j" and in James i, l3, we are told,
"God tempteth no man." Here il an appa-
rent contradiction, and yet, it oil vanishes,
when we ascertain that the word rendered
tempted, in Genesis, should be translated
"tred J" God tried or disciplined Abraham.
In the strc. sense Of the word, God tempts
no man, and yet, in manifold ways, he tries
us nil.

The following is the account OF tho feats
Of q juggler--the Anderson Of JApan--per.
formed before Mr.. Townsend Harris, the
American Consul General:
No. !. lie took an ordinary bows top,
spun it in the air, caught it on his hand, and
then. placed IL (still spinning) upon the edge
OF sword, near the hit. Then he dropped
the sword point little and top moved slow
" toward it. Arrived at the very end, the
hit WIS lowered in turn and the top brought
As usual the sword was dangerously
sharp.
No. was also performed with the top
He spun it in the air, and then threw the end
OF the string back toward it with such accu-
racy that it was caught up and wound itself
ell ready for second cast. By the time it
had done this il had reached his hand and
was ready for another spin.
No. was still performed with the top
There was mn upright pole, upon the top OF
which was perched little house, with very
large front door. The top Was spun, made
to climb the pole, knock open the said front
door, and disappear. As we'll ss remem-
Der, the hand end OF the string was fastened
near the door, so that this was almost rep
etition Of the self winding feat.
But feat No. 4 was something still more
astonishing than all this. He took two pa
per butterflies, armed himself with the usual
paper fan, threw them into the air, and, fan
ming gently, kept them lying about him as il
they had been alive.
Gle can make Thorn light wherever you
wish try him !" remarked the Kami (prince, !,
through the Interpreter.
Mr.. II requested that one might aligh'
upon each ear Of the juggler. No sooner OK
pressed than complied with. Gentle undula
tions of the fan waved them slowly to thu
required points, and there left them comfort
ably seated. Now, whether this commant
over pieces of paper was obtained simply b,
currents of air or by the power Of concealed
magnet, Mr.. Il could not tell or ascer
tain. One thing, however, WAS certsin--th

MANLY INDEPENDENCE in northern
opponent Of slavery, is not without a
partial or full degree of anticipation by
intelligent slaveholders, while trucking
and spanielism are in equal measure un-
derstood and despised. The New York
Tribune lately recorded a very high COM
pliment paid by Toombs, Of Georgia, to
the integrity and fearlessness Of Wade, OF
Ohio, one Of the most uncompromising
Of our Northern Senators; Gerritt Smith,
as is we'll known, was quite popular
among Southern fellow.Congressmen, and
he himself speaks Of his intimacy with
poor Brooks; Hale is almost as popular
among Southern as among Northern SEN
ators; Seward seems to be universally
respected among all gentlemaaly South
ern Members Of Congress, and the same
is true of other Northern Anti Slavery
men Of both houses.
Rev. Dudley A. Tying, as it will be
remembered, was driven away by his old
Episcopal congregation in Philadelphia,
because of sermon in which he diclosed,
Anti.slavery sentiments. He is now
preaching to from fifteen hundred TO two
thousand people, at Concert Hall, one Of
the largest public rooms in, Philadelphia,
and we were assured that among his
most attentive aud constant hearers are
many decided pro slavery people, with not
few shareholders, residing temporarily
in the city. Among the number of his
hearers, we personally know one really
amiable Southern Lady, who has, as we
were informed, an annual income of not
less than thirty thousand dollars from
Southern sugar and cotton plantations.
Per Contra, Washington correspon-
dent of the Knoxville Tennessee, Reg
lister has the following allusion to Senator
Pugh, of Ohio, who has tried to keep in
favor with the South and the Lecompton-
ties by protesting desire to force slavery
on Kansas, but to feel compelled, by the
instruction of the Ohio Legislature, to
vote against Lecompton, Says the Reg-
ister'S correspondent:
"All you say of Pugh is SO, except his
vote. He voted anti.Lecomplon, but ex'
erted himself for it-keeping the word Of
promise 10 the ear and breaking it to the
hope. He is very immature specimen
Of senator--an unripe fruit, that drop.
