THE BEAUTIES OF BIBLE LANGUAGE.
If we need higher illustrations not
only of natural objects to adorn Lam
guage and crafty taste, but proof that
here we find the highest conceivable
beauty, We would appeal at once to the
Bible. Those most opposed to its teach.
ings have acknowledged the beauty of
its language, and this Is due mainly to
the exquisite use of natural objects for
illustration. It does indeed draw from
every field. But when the emotional
nature was to be appealed to, the refer
ence was at once to the natural objects,
and throughout all its books, the stars,
and flowers, and gems, are prominent
as illustrations. of the beauties of reli-
gion and the glories of the church.
"The wilderness and the solitary
place shall be glad for them. and the
desert shall rejoice and blossom as the
rose.p
iHThe mountains and the hills shall
break forth before you into singing,an
hands. Instead of the thorn shall
come up the fir tree, instead of the briar
shall come up the myrtle tree"
The power and beauty of the same
objects appear in the Savior's teach-
ings. The fig and the olive, the spar
row and the lily OF the field, give pecu-
liar force and beauty to the great
truths they were used to illustrate.
The Bible throughout is remarkable
in this respect. 1t is a collection of
boQksIwritten by authors far removed
from each other in time, and place, and
mental culture, but throughout the
whole, nature is exalted as a revelation
of God. It's beauty and sublimity are
appealed to, to arouse the emotions to
reach the moral and religious nature.
This element Of unity runs through all
the books where references to nature
can be made. One of the adaptations of
the Bible to the nature of man Is found
in the sublime and perfect representa-
ton of the natural world, by which ma
ture is ever made TO proclaim the char
acter and perfection OF God. No Lam
gusge can be written that so perfectly
sets forth the grand and terrible in ma
ture and its forces, as we hear when
God answers Job out OF the whirlwind.
No higher appreciation of the beautiful,
and ofGod as the author OF beauty, was
ever expressed than when our Saviour
said of the lilies OF the field, 81 say unto
you that even Solomon, mall his glory,
was not arrayed like one OF these" !" and
then adds, nIf God so clothe the grass
of the field''-ascribing the element of
beauty In every leaf and opening bud to
the Creators skill and power.-Pro).

says: er
Thackeray was by nature a singular
ly coarse man-coarse In thought, and
coarse in expression, and those who
were intimate with him often wondered
to see how well he simulated refine
ment in his books. 81, &

that t'his first visit; was about the last

South Carolina. and the lady's spirited
reply. This is presenting the great

TILE DEATH OF MENDEz.-I have
mentioned that Mendez was not cap.
tured with the other Generals OF Maxi
milian's staff. He was known to be in
the city, and the authorities were sure
of capturing him. On Friday, the day
after the betrayal of the town, Escobedo
issued an order that all officers of the
Imperial army who did not surrender
within twenty-four hours would be
summarily disposed of when caDtured.
On Saturday evening between 8 and
O'Clock Mendez was found concealed
under the floor in the house of a citizen
named Bartoli. Then he knew his
doom was sealed. He occupied the
night in writing letters to his family.
Next morning between 9 and 10 O'Clock
-pleasantl scene for q bright Sunday
morning-he was marched down TO the
Alameda and shot. He met his fate
without sign of fear. According to
the custom in this country with what
are called traitors, he was shot in the
", declaring that he was no trail
tor TO his country and was not
afraid to face deathi but the officer in
charge of the shooting party declared
that his orders were explicit on that
point. Every well," said Mendez,
''shoot away" he kpelt down, his
back to the regiment, and four men
stepped forward and fired. From ner.
vousness or some other cause their aim
was very bad, and the wretched man
was nothing like fatally wounded.
Raising himself up. he pointed TO his
head (previous fexperience in such
scenes had made him familiar with the
routinel, and the corporal put the muz-
Zle OF the piece to his ear and blew out
his brains. So died Ramon Meudez,
than whom Mexico has produced many
better and many worse men. An In
dian, with much of the Indian cruelty
and indifference to life in his compost

Big Horn River. Up TO three days ago
we had heard nothing from them for
two months, and were very anxious
about them, but after repeated trials by
mountaineerS and miners near here to
go through, we at length succeeded in
sending two messengers, Sergeant
Grant, of my company! and Sergeant
Graham, OF company g. They started
from here on foot, with snOw.sh oea,
and took TO the mountains, with only
ordinary clothing and six days rations
of hard bread and lard. Each night
they cached one days rations, and LEFT
memorandum of what had happened
to them. They finally, after much suf-
fering and hunger, reached Fort Smith
with our dispatches. They stayed two

had gone about five miles and crossed a

about fifteen Indians after them. Their
horses were blown, and Sergeant Grant
had TO shoot his. The other two men,
getting frightened, ran away from him
and left him a.foot. He ran towards a

that he had been running on the edge
of a precipice of sheer two hundred

ledge OF rocks, the entrance of which
was through a hole that was covered
with snow. He sat down under the
cliff and waited. he had a Spencer
carbine, breech-loading, and eight
rounds OF ammunition, and says he felt
perfectly safe. He heard the Indians
yelling above him, and soon they COM

which was about nine feet deep, and
Just sheltered him. Then one Indian

Indian) saw Sergeant Grant he dropped
his gun and gave yell, and starting
back fell over the ledge, which was mar

let himself down, and Grant shot him,
and threw his body over the bank.
This was about nine o'clock in the
morning. The Indians stayed near the
hole till nearly dark, when thick fog
came up and they went away. He eau

American Manufactures--The American
Watch Oompany Of Waltham Mass

WdGCu OOlHpdny Oh w altman MASS,
Our readers know that the mechanism OF
the best manufactures of this country is I'M
| surpassed anywhere in the world. The genius
of American inventors and mechanics pro-
duced the cotton-gin, the mechanical reaper
| and mower, the sewing machine, the best tel
egraphic instruments, and last, but not least,
the wonderful machinery of the American
| Watch Company of Waltham, Mass, mech
| anism that takes hold of the raw material
the brass and steel, and gold, and precious
Stones and under competent direction turns
out that daily wonder and necessity-a perfect
time keeper.
Beginning in 1850 in a very moderate way,
but with the determination to make none but
| thoroughly good watches, the company have
continued to enlarge their works from year to
year, Gas they were unable to supply the de-
mand,) until now they manufacture about one
half of all the watches sold in tile United
States. Their factory covers over three acres
of ground, and as an illustration of its extent,
we may mention that it is supplied with over
sixty miles ofiron pipes These watcheshave
proved so reliable that several of the railways
of the country now furnish them as part of
their equipment; and while recommending
other lines to adopt the same precaution
against accidents, the editors of the Boston
Railway Times remarks "We have carried
one of these watches for the past four years,
and although it has had to submit to rough
usage in camp life, horseback riding, &C., we
do not hesitate to say that it is the best time
keeper and less expensive to keep in order
than any watch we ever carried" The Com
pany's success has stimulated the manufac-
ture and importation of many worthless coun-
terfeits, so that buyers should be careful to
see that they obtain the genuine American
watch made at Waltham.

Terrible Accidental children Drowned.

IefrlDle AoGlQent--.4 children Drowned.
Yesterday occurred one of those terrible ac-
cidents that occasionally happen, to warn us
of the danger that turks around the sports of
the young.
The facts of this case as near as we can learn
them are as follows:
Six children, five boys and one girl, ages
ranging from 10 to 16 years, were in small
skif, sailing on the lake about quarter of a
mile from shore, just off the north end of the
island. The boat was overloaded, and by an
unfortunate movement of some of the COM
panyit suddenly upset. The five boys soon
managed to get hold of the bottom of the
boat to which they clung while the girl went
down and when she came up she was not in
reach, and soon sank to rise no more.
The five boys chung to the boat for some time
and tried to right it, and in the attempt it
was rolled clear over and three of them lost
their hold and being too much exhausted to
regain it were drowned. Two boys chung to
the boat, until some person discovered them,
procured boat and went to their relief, and
they were taken off and saved.
The names of the parties drowned are, Rosa
Williams, aged 16 years, her brother John IL
years; son of Mr.. Weisham, 10 years; and son
of Mr.. Kniff, 10 years

GEN. GRANT TO GEN. ORD

To Breuet General b. O. C. Ord, Commanding
ing the Fourth District:
GENERAL; A copy of your final instruc-
tions to the Board of Reg istration, of June
10th, 1867 is just received 1 entirely dis
sent from the views contained in the para
graph. Your views as to the duties of reg.
listers to register every man who will take
the required oath, though they may know
that the applicant perjures himself, is sus-
tanned by the views of the Attorney Gener
al. My opinion is that it is the duty of
the Board of Registration to see, as far as it
lies in their power, that no unauthorized
person is allowed to register. To secure
this end registers should be allowed to ad-
minister oaths and examine witnesses. The
law makes District commanders their own
interpreter of their power and duty under
it, and, in my opinion, the attorney Gener-
al or myself may no more than give our
opinion as to the meaning of the law Mel
Their can enforce their views against the
Judgment of those made responsible for the
faithful execution of the law-the district
