BEECHER on COMPOSING SINs.-If a
man lies think he ought to confess il,
but it is not expedient to tell all your
sins openly. Nothing is more disagree
able 10 me than to hear mans all
ments. If a person has a sore, don't
want to hear about it. | don't care to
be RECALLED with the state of mans
stomach or liver. | have ills enough of
my own. Yet some people will get to-
gether and Groom and Groom, and talk
about others sicknesses, and about corp.
SEES, aud how many they have laid out,
and have a regular graveyard banquet.
1t is the same with spiritual ailment.
There are times when men should make
confession Of specific sins. If man
has been carrying on the liquor bust
ness, and is converted, it is quite proper
that he should confess that he has been
doing the devils work. If he has been
engaged in any wickedness that has
been open to the whole community, his
repentance should be open. 1t is not
necessary to give an inventory of all
ones faults but il we say anything it IS
better TO be spseine than generic.

Explorations of an interesting char.
actcr have been going on for several
years in Palestine, under the auspices
Of an English society established for
this purpose. These Investigations
have been mostly in Jerusalem, and in
the vicinity of the site of Solomons
Temple. Amidst many dangers and
difficulties have these researches been
prosecuted aud they are yet far from
completed, but already many doubtful
points have been settled, and informa-
ton of deep interest to scholars and to
Christians has been obtained. The old
acqueducts constructed by Solomon and
Pontius Plate, indicate grand system
of water-works, which might be turned
to the benefit of the inhabitants of Je-
rusalcm if TIE local autho. tiles were
willing. Years ago Miss Burdett Co.
ats, whose wealth and generosity are
well known, desired to carry out the
design she had entertained of supplying
Jerusalem with pure water, as the peo-
pie endured great wretchedness from
the want Of water, or the use of that
which was bad, Her plan was to repair
the acqueducts. The authorities of Je-
rusalem, however, would not accept her
offer. They were unwilling TO favor an
arrangement which would benefit Jews
and Christians alike, and by which they
would lose the opportunity of selling wa
ter in times of special scarcity.
