Influence of the Bible.

1t was noble and beautiful answer, that

people, rcigning more by love than law. that

kiah, in an evil hour show the ambassador
her diamonds, her jewels and her ornaments,
but, handing him a beautifully bound copy OF
the Bible, she said "Tell the prince that
this is the secret Of England's greatness"
In our own beloved land the secret of our
national greatness may be traced TO the in
fuence of this blessed, this God-given book.
1t is said that the first liberty pole ever
erected IN America was erected by the people
of Massachusetts, and that they surrounded
it with an immense pile Of Bibles. No won
der that the people OF that grand old state
have always been the champions of liberty
The act of Congress in l777, providing for
the importation of Bibles, evidently has had
much TO do with our national greatness.
The influence of the Bible on mems hearts
and lives more fully displays the power of
the Bible The seeds Of truth may spring
up long after being Christian Recori.

LEANING ON CnRIsr.-A dear old Chris
tian once said to me, " | want to notice that
word leaning ON the arm of the Beloved.
You give up your arm to lady TO take her
into the drawing-room, aud she just touches
your arm. But you go a long walk into the
country with your wife; she is weary, and
you offer her your arm and she puts in her
hand and presses on you with all her weight.
" Now, sir, he said, that seems to me Just
the difference between the Journalist and the
real Christian The Journalist touches the
arm of Jesus, he does not lean with all his
weight but the real Christian feels his own
weakness and his own WEAKNESS, aud so as he
goes through the wilderness he leans ON the
arm of his beloved, bearing all his weight
upon that beloved arm, and finding power
and strength and the more he leans the more
he feels his own weakness, and at the same
time the more he feels his strength in Him.

How ro BREAK Orr BAD Hams
Understand the reasons, aud all the rea-
sons, why the habit is injurious. Study the
subject until there is no lingering doubt in
your mind. Avoid the places, the persons
and thoughts that lead to temptation. Ere
quent the places, associate with the persons,
indulge in the thoughts that lead away from
temptation. Keep busy; idleness Is the
strength of bad habits. DO not give up the
struggle when you have broken your reso-
lutons once, twice--a thousand times. When
you have broken your resolution, just think
the matter over, and endeayor TO understand
why it is you failed, so that you may be on
your guard against recurrence of the same
circumstance DO not think that il is an
easy thing that you have undertaken. II is
folly to expect to break off habit in day,
which may have been gathering long years.

CmLDREN's PLAYs.-Children's indoor
plays should always be quiet and gentle but
out of doors let them romp run and shout
TO their hearts content If you do not show
that you sympatbize with your children, they
will look elsewhere for that great necessity
of their natures. This is, perhaps, one Of
the reasons why " "olergymen's children do
not turn out well.' A clergyman sat in his
study, writing his sermon when his little boy
toddled into his room, and, holding up his
pinched finger, said Look, papa, how
hurt it," The father looked around hastily,
and said, little impatienty: " Sonny,
can't help it,, and went on writing. Ills
little boys eyes opened wider, he ceased to
weep, but muttered in a low, indignant tone,
as he went out Yes, you could, you might
have said, Oh" There was, perhaps, a
better sermon for the minister in those words
than the one he was preparing for his flock,
if he only knew it.

The Appeal man boldly states that
the LEDGER man sees the approach of
spring from a wild goose standpoint"
This is partially correct, IS u man
deals somewhat in animal meteorology,
he regarding animals as being living
thermometers and bsrometers on weather
questions, as they have that instinct
which is often superior % and more cor.
rect than the boasted reason Of man.
This is q humilisting confession to
make from the INSTRUMENTATION
yet vi believe natural history supports
the assertion, and human vanity should
not compel us to repudiate or fail to
acknowledge the truth, let it come 10
what fashion or form it may. We
must admit, however, hat in our Office
animal meteorology does not stand
as high as il did before. Our man has
gone back somewhat on the animals on
weather questions, The wild geese that
have been "honking' over the city on
their annual pilgrimage to some Mecca
in the North, may have been singing q
pean to the advent Of spring, an epitha.
lsmium to the nuptials of winter and
spring, but we failed to discover that the
goose "honking" PANIED out correctly.
Now the martins and ~bluebirds have, to
a bird, deceived US also, and even the
humble bees have entered into this com.
bination Of fraud and deception. By
way of relief and rescue, however, a gen.
tleman of this city comes to our aid
and says he anticipated the late colo
snap by watching the movements Of hiI
f~avorite cat upon the hearth. We cal
the particular attention of the Appea
man to this phenomenon. Our ca
metesrologist says
Although at the time the weather wa
quite warm pussey showed a disposition
to get close to the warm CRATE, and o
course this is an invariable instinct of tn
animal. Some time before q cold spell
the sensitive nature Of q cat anticipate
the change and it will be found cuddlinI
close to the Ere. 1t is also true that i
you see a cat lying with its head to tn
floor and face turned up, you may loo
for rain in t%wenty.four hours.
This is the latest development in an
NAL meteorology, and its development
will be watched for with interest, eve
though "Old Probs" at Washingto
would no doubt turn up his tip-tilted nos
at the idea, and even though our metec

BY bis direction, the translators being
governed BY excellent rules Of his franz
ing. King James was a man Of much
learning. but his scholarship was de-
formed by pedentry and his writings by
the grossest superstition, witches being
his especial objects OF hatred, fear and
persecution.
Two learned limbs Of the law, Messrs.
Turner and RAINY, engaged in a rough

RAINY, but the latter lodged the black
issue successfully. A deputy sheriff in
terfered and enjOined further legal pro-
csedings in the case.
The Appeal man asks US a %conundrum,
as follows: will the LEDGER nan edify
us by stating how a wayfarer, leaving
Memphis, can reach a point north of
Grand junction without losing several
hours at Grand Junction. BY a reck-
less guess, we imagine it could be done,
provided the w~ayfarer did not tarry too
long around the Grand Junction whisky
shops. and. provided, he did not get left
by the train. We want the Appeal man
to give US a harder one.
The jackson Tenn Sun says the
schedule Of the new train running over
the New Orleans, St. Louis and Chicago
railroad between jackson and Holly
Springs, Miss, is so arranged that Jack.
son people can go to Memphis, spend
four and a half hours and return home
by bed time, all in the same DAY, all Of
which proves a great accommodation to
the jackson people and will prove
beneficial to the business Of Memphis.
The train is called the Memphis express
and runs via Grand Junction over the
Charleston road, and is run for the con-
v%enieuce of Memphis passengers.
Fourteen arrests we're made on Satur-

get drunk "a thing which no other ami.
nal does, that we know OF, all other ami
mails being governed by instinct and man
alone by reason. This would almost
prove that instinct is a higher and better
sense than reason, but we must not rea
son too curiously concerning this subject
or else we might fall into line with the
Darwin theory concerning the origin o
man.
