m1sauoTAT1ons OF SCRIPTURE.

No book is quoted SO frequently as the
Bible. And opposite ard correct quota
tions from it add beauty to editorial or
essay, speech or sermon; in short, to any
literary production whatever, A misquota-
ticn from it not only shocks the sensbili--
,, ties Of the accurate scholar but inpairs the
effect Of all tha thoughts that are affected
with it. Even If the idea embodied~in the
quotation is preserved with the utmost ex-
actness, and departure from verbal accurae
ness is always dlsagreeaole.,.
Sometimes we hear quotations made as
from the Bible, which have not even vcr-
bal simili,uae to the passage Of Scripture.
God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,
is such quotation, but the error has been
so frequently exposed that few now ascrbe
the sentence to any other than its real au-
thor S,erue. Misquota,ions preserving
some shadow of resemblance TO the Ian
guage of Gods word, are quite numerous,
and are often made.
Spare the rod and spoil the Child has
been quoted by many good women as
scriptural authority for tho chas,sement Of
uuru'y children. An approximation to it
may be found in Proverbs xii. 24-'iie
that spare.h the rod hatelh his son.
AS the Tree falls so it lies, is frequently
cited in discussions with UniversaIists, IN
connection with texts proving the unalter-
able condition Of man afte, death. The
true reading is If the tree fall toward the
South, or toward the North, in the place
where the tree fallcth there shall it ie.'-
Eccle. xi. 8.
In the prayers offered in social meetings,
we often hear Thou hast said, where two
or three are gathered togetherein my name
there am in the midst Of them, aud that
to ble=s them The last clause of the sen
tence Is a very scriptural inference from the
preceding clause, but 1t was not said by
Christ.
None are more liable to misouote the
Bible than those who have the most fre-
quent occasion to Qnote it. Intimate
familiarity with the thought, does, not al
ways ensure an exact recollection Of the
words.
The true and only remedy for this mis-
quotation, is never to cite passage-cer-
tainly never in writing without verifying
1t by turning up the passage, and copying
it directly from the book. A rigid aI-
herence to this rule will save many morlify-
ing blunders. It has saved the writer
fom one, in the preparation of this very
article

LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT OF TEE
SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN.

The greatest treats Of the week are DR..
Russells letters from Savannah and Mont
gomery, dated tirst aud fourth Of May, cs-
pecially the one from Montgomery. Since
their publication the feeling has been de-
cidedy in favor Of the South, and it is said
with much truth, that the behavior Of the
Confederate States is much more civilized
and secmIy than that Of the North. don't
like to be presumptuous nor TO appear die
taorial, but this may say with safety, that
the North are heaping too much stress on
Eng lands dislike to slavery, and if they
think we are going to hob.nob with peo-
pie who are laying every restriction OH our
commerce they can, by their Morrill, Tor
'n' MorrilD tariffs, they are very much mis-
taken, particularly SO when their Minister
to Russia, speaking at Union breakfas,'
in Paris, on Wednesday, threatened us with
ttanco-Amcrican Invasion 'if our flag be-
comes associated with the black flag Of the
South" refer you to Tuesdays doings
~ wi AAOu@S VI SoiIlilIOuS WITH e.
But to return to Mr.. Clays speech in
Paris, which completely throws Lis i'm
pertinent letter to the Times into the shade.
1t might be we'll that, instead of asking, lie
might answer few questions this time,
such as: Who authorized him to threaten
England with the vengeance of the North !?
Is lie sure that the French will not aclnowl-
edge this black flag" And lastly, lot us
ASK him if lie thinks that he was coinpli--
men:ng the French nation when lie remain
de-: ;.:cm that we sent one Of their black
guards TO St. Helena? To drop the inquis
tive, let me tell Mr.. Clay that we can tar
and feather here, and that, unless he chan.
ges his tune, lie had better return home via
uavre.

ARMY BEvERAGEs.-It has been dis
covered by experience that soldiers on field
and camp duty require some cheering oever-
age, an! since it has been ascertained that
alcoholic beverages are injurious. the qucs-
ton arises, What can be substituted rur
them9' We have very useful and practical
information on this head fro,n Cc,aol
Dawes, an experienced Indian officer. lie
recommends that coffee and tea should take
the. place OF liquid, and saws care should
be taken to have good coffee and tea p,o-
vded regularly in each troop and company
and every man should have some offered to
him, the first thing in the morning, before
doing duty, and also some In the evening.
When properly managed, this practice is
alike beneficial to health and morals.' A
very distinguished surgeon in the Indian
army states that from long experience in
tropical climates, with soldiers in barracks
and in the field, he observed that "a cup o:
warm coffee taken in the morning ended to
prcven! sickness
During tho Crimean war, it was found
that when the soldiers obtained warm coffee
they sustained fatigue, and wero compara-
lively healthy; but when they were in the
trenches, and could not get warm tea or
coffee, they were very subject to dysen-
terry.

BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-In the mouptains u!
Tyro', it is the custom of the women ami
children to come out when it is bedtime and
sing their national songs until they hear
their husbands, fathers and brother answer
them from the hills on thei9 return home
On the shores of tho Adriatic such Gus
tom prevails. There the wives of the fish,
ermen come down about sunset and sing 3.
melody. After Staging the first stapza
they listen awhile for an answering melody
from off the water, and continue to sp:,
and listen till the we'll known voice comes
borne on the waters, telling that the lovct!
one is almost home. How sweet to tho
weary fisherman, as the shadows gather
around him, must be the songs Of the low
ed ones at homo that sing to cheer him ;
and how they must strengthen aud tighten
the links that bind together those bumLIo
dwellers by tho sea

THE REBUKE.

To those of our readers who have, aroun
'ir firsside, one vacant ehair-in their hous
. tenantless cot, we would say, take HON
e lesson 80 pathetically expressed in the fo
wing beautiful lines:
The in fant is sleeping
lie prattles no more;
The mother is weeping.
Afflicted and sore;
The children arc crying,
For "baby is dead"
The fatheris signing
For one little head.
There is grief in the palace,
And mourning and woe;
All, save little Alice,
Their sorrow to show.
Her fair checks are fearless;
Her blue eyes are clear;
And trusting and fearless
She stands by the bier.
Her voice is unbroken,
AS, lifting her head,
She turns to the living.
From one that is dead:
"Denr NJ other, you told us
That God was on high,
Ard his arms would enfold US
Whenever we die.
"And, father, heard you
Tell uncle, last night,
Your child was an angel,
In railnent Of white:
Then why all this weeping,
This sorrow and painl
Our Willie is sleeping.
To wuken again.
With the voice of a prophet,
The look Of a ecer,
Her words, Of rebuking
Enchun'l every ear;
The subs came no longer,
The eyes knew balm,
The parents were stronger,
The children were calm.
Meath the shade Of the willow
They laid him TO rest,
The sod for his pillow.
A rose On his breast:
And they learn'J from his going
One lesson Of worth
There are angels in Heaven,
And angels on earth.
