The Rev. DR.. S. @. Bartlett, President of
Dartmouth College, with three friends, having
made a journey from Egypt to Palestine for
the purpose of tracing the course Of the Israeli
ties in their wanderiDgs, gives the result in a
handsome octave volume OF $50 pages, pub
lished by the Harpers and sent in by Loring,
Short q Harmon. Its title is From Egypt to
Palestine, and the illustrations and maps are
numerous and good He sketches Egyptian
antiquities sufficiently to illustrate the Hebrew
captivity. Considering the various dates given
by different authorities as the founding OF the
monarchy from 5000 to 500 c., he inclines
to the smaller period, az might be expected
from his profession, though the fact that the
Samaritan version sets the Creation back to
400 b. c., and the Septusgint to 5S72 B. G I,
NAV give the most faithful believer some lati-
tude. The eminent authorities on both sides
certainly Justify the bslief that it is still an
open question. The earliest possible coinci-
dence between Egyptian and Biblical dates is
that of the reigas of Solomon and Shishak,
$50 B. c.. and in the two thousand years preced-
ing that time there is room 10 crowd in a
goodly arrss of monarchs aud dynastles. If
we take o1r own history back thousand years

THE Democrats declare that they are mis-
represented when accused of revolutionary
methods, and get downright mad if the
Okolona States is mentioned. But the Mo-
bile Register certainly is an influential paper
of good standing, and this is its revolutionary
hint:
The Democratic Congress may proceed with

holders need money too badly for him to stand
in the way of Congress. If he is determined
for partisan purposes to force upon Congress
the alternative either of leaving the Govern
ment without supplies or of leaving upon the
statute-books the laws designed to defeat the
will of the people at the polls, then it may be
necessary for Congress to consider very serious
ly whether it is not in order to call up from the
table of ths House that resolution which was
not acted upon on the 81 of March, 1877, to
the effect that Samuel TildeD was elected Pres
ident of the United States. To this complexion
it may come at last, If Ike President and Messrs
Garfield Co. refuse to take their oacn medicine.

It's Of no consequence, but Democrats
may like to refresh their memories with the
following extract from Tilden's letter of ac-
ceptance in 1876:
In my opinion an amendment to the constitu-
tion ought TO se devised separating into distinct
bills the appropriations for the various depart
ments OF the public service, and excluding from
each bill all appropriations for other objects,
and all independent legislation. In that way
alone can the revisory power of each of the two

compels ascent to Objectionable appropriations

The Joy Of Inooinpleteness.

tfsi! our: lives were one broad glare
sOf sunlight, clear uncloudettJ MA
II ell our paths were smooth aud fatr,
- ny 10 soft gloom enshrouded,
HAL lffe's aowors we're fully blown
Without tho sweet hnfoldina,
And happiness were rudely thrown
On hands too weak for holding
Should we not miss the twilight hours,
Tue gentle haze and sadness?
Should wo not long for storms and
showers
To break tho constant gladnoss?
If none wore sick and mono were sad,
What service could wo render?
think if we woro always glad
We scarcely could bo tender;
Did your beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold, and miss, indeed,
Its sweetest consolation.
If sorrow never claimed our heart,
Aud overy wish were granted,
Patience would die, and hope depart
Lifo would bo discnohantod.
And yet in heaven is no more night,
In heavon is no moro sorrow!
Suoh unimagined new delight
Fresh grace from pain will borrow,
As the poor seed that underground
Seeks its true life about it,
Not knowing what will thero be found
When sunbeams kiss and love it;
So We in darkness upward grow,
And look and long for hoaven,
But cannot picture It bolow,
Til more of light be given.
