The Bible.

The Bible is the only book which God
has ever sent, the only one He will ever
send into this world. All other books are
frail and transient as time, since they are
only the registers of time; but the Bible is
durable as eternity, for its pages are the
records of eternity. All other works are
weak and imperfect, like their author, man;
but the Bible is replete with infinite power
and perfection, like its usefulness and in
fuence; but the Bible came forth conquer
ing and to conquer. ~ las
The Bible only of all the myriads of
books the world has seen, is equally inter-
esting and important to all mankind. Its
tidings, whether of peace or Of woe, are the
same to the poor, the ignorant and the
weak, as TO the rich, the wise and the
powerful. Among the most remarkable of
it's attributes is justice; for it looks with
impartial eyes on kings and on slaves, on
the chief and the soldier, on philosopher
and on peasant, on the eloquent and the
dumb. From all, it exacts the same obe-
dience to its commandments, promising to
the good reward of their loyalty, but de-
nouncing to the evil the awful consequences
of their rebellion.
Nor are the purity and the holiness, the
wisdom and the benevolence of the Scrip
lures less conspicuous. In vain may we
| look elsewhere for true models of character,
for the models of the husband and the wife,
the parent and the child, the patriot and the
scholar, the philanthropist and the chris
tian, the private citizen and the ruler of the
nation. Whatever shall be their respective
lots, whether poverty or wealth, prosperity
or adversely. social influence or solitary sta
tion, the Bible is the only fountain of truth
their only source of virtue and greatne ess,
of honor and felicity.
! Here, then, let Us repose our trust-here
ct as look for our beacon Of safety, aud
whether sunshine or gloom, the storm OF
the calm, the beauty and wealth of spring,
or the nakedness and desolation of winter
may be our POrtion-supported and guided
by the Bible, all must be we'll with US il
time, for all shall be we'll with US in eter.

Testimonial to Capt. Matthew F. Maury
in England.

On the evening of the 4th instant about

bled at Willis Rooms, London, on the oc-
casion of a banquet and testimonial to,
Captain NJ F. Maury, late of the Confeder-

make a suitable public recognition of the
brilliant services conferred by that officer
on the cause Of maritime science. Sir John
Parkington, NJ. P, presided, and among

If earnest and enthusiastic action on the

STAGE Nonsense.

Stage Nonsense.
We were speaking to friend the other
day, respecting tie merits of a celebrated
tragedian, . when we had occasion to COM
ment on the rant of the stage-the loud
mouthing, the outrageous gesture, the flu
rious rolling of the eyes, the stride, swords
that rattle in the hilt, and all the "pomp
and circumstance of the modderu drama.
Fancy this style carried into real life.--
On being introduced to lady you would
say, throwing yourself into a splendid at,
titude: r-a
''Most gracious madam, on my knees 1
greet you," impressiVely placing your
right hand on your heart. t Ees.
To creditor who wonld not pay: ..e-
''Fraudulant knavel Payest thou me not?
By yonder sun that blazes in the zeueth,
thee will 1 sue, aud thou shalt see thy i'm
pious name flaming the streets on posters

At dinner: nt
"Now, by my soul and all my highest
hopes, those beans are royal. Were 1 Jupi-
ter, beans should grace each royal banquet.

To your wife:
MADAM, beware thou dost excite me
not; else being too hot with wrath, do
myself some harm. A needle-a button on
my shirt-and see it instantly performed.
Do i'll Not leave the task to me-"
To your butcher:
''Thou ensaUguined destroyer Of bovines,
send me some mutton and some beef; and
mark you! let it be tenderer than love and
sweeter than the bees rare burden. would
dine to to-day.'' s..
}. To friend:
excuse a rash intrusion on your grace,
but hast thou in thy box portion of that
plant, ranked by the botanist amoug the
genus nieotiaadg or, "Most noble friend,
wilt thou partake with me some strong liba-
ton? Thou lookest dull to-day; twill cheer
thy sinking heart..'
Reply-"Oh, noble soul! alas, not all
the wine of BacchanaIian revels could ease
the sorrow here-herel-here! (Left arm
struck several times.) Oh, what foo

/ This is scarcely more ridiculous thar

THERE is legend that one day a woman
went to Brigham Young for counsel touch

came necessary to record her case, hesitat
ed and said:
