A LESSOY IN RMPHASIS.

Some years ago there was q student
at theological seminary at Andover
who had an excellent opinion Of his
own talents. On one occasion he
asked the Professor who taught elO-
cution at the time, "What do / es-
peeialiy need to learn in this depart
ment ," You ought to learn to
read, said the Professor. "Oh
can read now, eplied the student.
The Professor handed the man Tes-
lament and pointed to the twenty
fifth verse of the twenty-fourth chap
ter Of I4uke's gospel, and asked him
to read that. The student read, Then
he said unto them, o fools, and slow
of heart to 6eliepe all that the prophets
have spoken. All, y said the
Professor, they were fools for 5elisU-
ing the prophets. We're they ?'' OF
course that was not right, and so the
young man tried again. 30 fools,
and slow Of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken" 1.-The
prophets then, were sometimes liars2"
asked the Professor. "NcAO fools
and slow Of heart to believe all that
the pTOphets have spoken Accord
to this reading. '',the Professor sugges-
ted, ''the prophets were notorious
liars" This was not a satisfactory
conclusion, and so another trial was
made. 80, fools and slow of heart to
believe all the prophets hare spOkeR."
st see now" said the Professor, the
prophets wrote the truth, but they
spoke lies" This last criticism dis
coursged the student and he acknowl-
edge d that he did not know how to
read. The difficulty lies in the fact
that the words "slOw Of heart to be.
lieve," apply to the whole of the latter
part Of the sentence and emphasis on !
any particular word entirely destroys
the meaning.

huddled together, talking, laughing,
crying, praying and Thanksgiving

Scarcely one half of them had a com

London and New York, professional
gentlemen and the lowest of the emil
grants, appeared in clothing much of

good people Of Prospect. Some were

others without boots, and all with the

shore, and was soon back again with
just such q crowd as the previous one.
There were several affecting scenes on

Friends who had separated from each

never expected to meet again in this

thanks to Him whose mercy had
spared them while so many Of their

BY twelve o'clock all those who had
reached shore safely were, excepting
an officer and four men who remained

on board the steamers Delta and Lady

TESTIMONY FOR THE BIBLE.

The following is q collocation of tn
testimony of the great, the learned
and the wise to the value of the Bible
from the standpoint Of worldly wis
dom as well of genuine religion:
JOHN MILTON.-God has ordained
His gospel to be the revelation of Hi.
power and wisdom in Christ Jesusi-
Let others, therefore, dread and shur
the Scriptures for their darkness; ]
shall wish 1 may deserve to be reek-
oned among those who admire and
dwell upon them for their elearness
There are no songs comparable to the
songs of Zion, no orations equal tc
those of the prophets, and no politics
like those which the Scripture teach.
CoLERIDGE.-I know the Bible is
inspired, because it finds me at great
er depths Of my being thar any other
book.
THOMAS CARLYLE.-An noble book !

proolem-man's destiny, and Gods
ways with him here on earth and all
In such free flowing outlines, grand

element.
SIR MATTHEW HALE.-It is a book
full of light and wisdom, will make
you wise TO eternal life, and furnish
you with directions and principles to
guide and order your life safely and
prudently. There is no book like the
Bible for excellent learning, wisdom
and use. -
QUEEN VICToRIA.-This is the Sc
cret Of England's greatness.
The CHEvALIER BUNsEN,-The
Bible is the only cement of nations.
and the only cement that can bind
religious hearts together.
JOHN ADAMs.-I have examined
all, as well as my narrow sphere, my
straitened means and my busy life
would allow me; and the result is,
that the Bible is the best book in the
world. 1t contains more of my little
philosophy than all the libraries l
have seen ; and such parts of it as /
cannot reconcile to my little philoso-
ply, / postpone for future inyestiga.
tions.
JOHN QUINCY ADAAIs.-I speak as

Scriptures!" The Bible is the book
Of all others, to reach at all ages, and

to be read only once, twice OF thrice |
through, and then laid aside, but to |
be read in small portions of one or two
chapters every day, and never to be |
intermitted, unless by some over.rul-

WILLIAM H. .SEWARD.-Thew whole
hope Of human progress Is suspended |
on the ever-growing influence of the
Bible.
JOHN MCLEAN.-If its rules were
faithfully observed by individuals
and communities, the highest degree
of earthly happiness Eonld be at
aimed.
DANIEL WEBSTER.-I have read il

REPUBLICS AND MONARCHIRs.

We are unable TO share the ''firm
conviction" expressed by President
Grant "that the civilized world Is
tending toward republicanism, - and
that the great American republic Is
destined to be the guiding star of all
other countries.n In one sense the
civilized world has always been tend
ing in the direction of republieanism
The most civilized States Of antiquity
until very shortly before the Christian
era were, in fact, republics, and the
italian republics of the Middle Ages
contrast favorably in science and the
arts with the feudal mOnarehies of the
same period. A fresh and most pow
erful impulse was given TO republic
anism by its establishment and sue
cess in the United States. France
hastened to follow and improve the
example, and though on the whole
constitutional monarchy and imperi-
alism have prevailed in the struggle
which began with the French revoIu-
ton, the republic" as it is absurd
ly called, is in the ascendant just now,
both in France and Spain. On the
other hand, not only have men learn
ed to recognize the vices and weak
ness inherent in republieanism where
political virtue does net rise above the
ordinary level, but it has also been
discovered that all the chief benefits
of frepublicanism may be obtained un
der a monarchy. There is no Repub-
liean party worthy the name in Eng
land, because it is almost impossible
to conceive any republican privilege
which the country would enjoy under
President which it could not have,
II it chose, under a Prime Minister
to- morrow, The same may be said of
Italy; and If Spain thinks proper to
maintain the existing republican gov
eminent, there may be less order, but
there cannot be more liberty than |
Spaniards enjoyed under King Anna |
deus. As for President Grants ale |
cation that under republic the Unit |
ed States are enabled to dispense with |
large armaments, it must surely be /
obvious that monarchy in the same |
geographical position could do the /
same. Meanwhile every days expe.
rience illustrates afresh the supreme I
of monarehy-the advan-
tage Of the highest social position Of
the State being preserved from be-
coming constant lure to political
ambition. NJ. Gambetta lately told
an American visitor that France had
no especial admiration for the System
Of elective Judges, as tested in the
United States IL has yet to be seen
whether France herself will endure
periodical competition for an elective
and, in spite Of the large
German population Of America. we
doubt whether even German Repub.
licans would desire to import this
American institution into Germany.
That Presidential elections, with the
consequent division of the spoils, have
not utterly demoralized the United
States proves the capacity of the
people forself-government,
md the healthy vigor of their muni-
,ipal life. That enormous corruption
md other evils flow directly from this
Iource is notorious, especially just
low, and il is by no means self-eYi-
lent that republicanism is worth pur-
,hasing at such priee.-LoRdoR

SPEAK CORRECTLY.

The New York Witness gives the
following to its young readers on
learning TO speak correctly. And the
editor of the Christian at Work wants
to say this in addition Children, if
you are going to speak correctly
when you are men and women, you
must begin to do so while you are boys
and girls.
A good, pure English is a better
foundation for the children of Ameri-
ca than any mere chattering OF poor
French and worse German. Learn
first to use your own language well,
and then you may go on to add as
tOp-stones, one after another of the
various language-as many as you can
use well aud to advantage:
Boys and girls should learn to
speak correctly while they are child
rem, for it will be hard to correct
wrong habits when they become old
er.
The other day little girl asked i,
" Shall you go to-morrer?n The an
swe- was, II dunno. How much
better to pronounce the words cor
rectly, and to say to morrow and
don't know. Never say sech fine ap-
piles but such fine apples. Just as
live is another improper expression.
You should say, just as lief And
don't say l amt. There is no such
word as amt in the English language.
You should say I'm not or it isn't.
I heard boy say seeh fingers.
That was very bad pronunciation.
Another said Il can holIer louder
than you can; but a bright little feI-
low replied, I don't think can hol-
Ter at all, though l can harloo as loud
as anyone
Now, children, try hard to speak
properly. and never use such words
as these:

No. 4-Mercury.


This planet is so near the Sun as t.
be seldom seen without q telescope
and even this effective instrument re
quires careful handling, or We catch
the Suns rays direct instead of thost
reflected from the little wanderer.-
Another difficulty in viewing Mereu.
ry is his rapid motion. He completes
a revolution in SS days, or at the rate
Of over 40 per day, and during two
thirds of this time is so nearly behind
or in front Of the Sun as to be entirely
invisible. His average distance from
the Suns center is 81, ,35O, 900 miles,
It would require nineteen such plan
cts to equal our earth in size, and yet
Mercury has the advantage in weigh
ing more than twice as much per
cubic yard. All the other planets
whose densities have been determined
fall below the Earth's standard. The
solar day of Mercury is 81 minutes
longer than ours, and the heat con-
stantly 6s times more than we receive
from the Sun. Little can be known
Of the physical condition Of Mercury.
The proofs of a lurid atmosphere, Of
violent agitation on the surface, and
3 strength of light and power Of heat,
are sufficiently suggestive that ali
forms of life with which we are fa-
miliar are quite improbable.
VULCAN.
An essay, by Leverrier, before the
French Academy of Science, Septem- |
Der, 1853, on a supposabie planet near |
5r the Sun than Mercury, brought out 1
the discovery made six months prior |
by NJ. Lescarbault- The great math-
smatician had figured a warm place |
for the new planet, half way between
Mercury and the Sun, determined its
approximate size, and probable time
0f revolution. In the meantime, a
eoun'ry village doctor, with the long
French name, experimenting with
MS homemade telescope, had caught
he planet in the act of crossing the
SUMS disc. The doctors of medicine
md letters met and christened the
newly discovered planet by the hea-
hen name, Vulcan. From that time
o this, astronomers, with telescopes
arge and small, have sought in vain
0 verify the figures of Leverrier and
