The New Translation.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
1t is safe to say that no book, the
appearance of which modern history
records, has attracted half the atten-
tlon that has been awakened by the
New Translation which has lately
been brought to the notice of the
public. This is a significant fact, and
shows as plainly as possible that the
New Testament. has much stronger
hold upon the public mind than had
been generally believed.
The central thought of that book
is, that man appeared in this world
about nineteen hundred years since,
who claimed, and was by number
OF persons acknowledged to he, Ill
some important sense, our divine
Ruler, Redeemer and Saviour. No
event has ever occurred that has held
the attention OF the world with so
much interest as the one mere referred
| to.
xaW'ho was the man Christ Jesus,
and ior what purpose did he visit
this world are questions that are
now after the lapse of nearly two
thousand years, asked with deeper
interest than ever before.
We have good reason TO believe
that the large number of scholars OF
acknowledged merit who have been
giving more or less of their time for
the last ten years TO the revision OF
the New Testament, have furnished
us a better translation than the one
we have heretofore had, and this is
the general If not the universal ver'
dict of other scholars who have ex-
amined it. OF course, persons who
have no knowledge OF any language
but their own, and in some case but
little OF that, are scarcely entitled to
express an opinion in regard to this
matter. Their opinions, tending in
some instances to ridicule, are not
deserving OF any special attention.
s.. =. Thereare also gratifying indications
that the new translation has already
awakened more general desire thar
has ever been experienced before, to
know just what the New Testament
does teach in regard to the words
and doings of Him to whom II
! relates.

Presently one OF them remarked
she had been very cold, adding, 81

An inquiring looked caused the
last speaker to modify this statement
instantly with, 30, I don't think |

A third remark TO the effect that
"Miss Soand.so was the homeliest
girl in the CITY," was recalled as soon
as made, the speaker being compelled
to own that Miss So-and>so was only
rather plain, instead of being exces
sively homelY.
SO it went on through the day,
causing much meriment, which was
good naturedly accepted by the sub
jects, and giving rise TO constant cor
rections in the interest of truth.
One thing became more and more
surprising, however, to each OF US,
and that was the amount OF cutting
down which our careless statements

Bunker's Goat on the Warpath.

ed attention that the neighbors set
their tongues to work and said it was
match. sTheir intimacy may have
terminated in amarriage if something
had not stepped in between them and
chilled the flame that burned in their
hearts; but unfortunately such an ac-
cident occurred. Mrs. Blocker owns
a fine garden and the house she lives
in, while Bunker has money in the
bank and bad goat that loafs in the
street.
One morning Mrs. Bleeker was out
in her garden humming tune and
setting out a lot of onions, and while
she had her back turned to the tence
and was bobbing up and down prod
ding holes in the ground with sharp
stick. Bunker's. goat happened to
stroll by and see her. He looked
through the pickets and saw red
balmoral, with black border around
it, Haunting defiance in his very
teeth, and his blood began to boil,
| and wild glare crept into his eye.
He cleared the picket fence with a
Jump, and while Mrs. BECKER was
working up and down like pump
handle, he took running start and
coupled onto that balmoral like a
heavy freight train. The next in>
slant pair OF blue striped hose

Mrs. Bleeker fell over fourteen yards
of onion bed. She screamed for help
but Bunker's goat was on the war.
path, and he never let up for an in
stant. He never even gave Mrs
BECKER a chance to assume an up
right position: and whenever she
tried TO do so he pulled the trigger
and tiattened her out like horse
blanket. Her cries for help brought
the neighbors, and when they arrived
on the scene Mrs. Bleeker, crazeC
with terror, was galloping around the
garden on her all fours, and Bunker
goat right behind her working ava.
like steam hammer. AS soon a:
the goat saw help had arrived h'
ceased the persecution, and skipping
over the fence loped down the street
while a red strip OF balmoral flutter

Spilker'S Toast.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
Maj. Spilker is very little man,
very fat, very genial, and with head
as devoid of hair as porcelain door
knob. His wife, Mrs. Algitha Spill
ker, is scrawny, sarcastic and as deaf
as a sawlog. A person could kick a
tin bathtup down the back stairs all
night, and Mrs. Spilker would snore
like bass horn, in blisstul ignorance
OF the noise, which proves that she is
rather deaf
There are two things in the world
of which Mrs. Spilker Is very fond
dinner party and her husband. She
never fails to accept an invitation to
one or to carry the other with her.
For the last twenty years this couple
have been in regular attendance at
every party given by their friends,
and on these occasions Maj. Spilker,
when called upon for a toast, would
always give one to "the babies" in
such happy style that it never fail
ed to create a good deal OF mirth.
His wife, though she could not hear
a word, knew what her husbands
toast was, and when he sat down
supplemented by few appropriate
remarks in which she sat forth his
fondness tor babies. Not long since
they attended dinner given by g
friend up town, and, unfortunately
for Maj. Spilker and the assembled
guests, he changed his toast without
warning his wife of the fact, who, O
course, thought her husband wonlt
confne himself to his regular toast.
"Now, Maj. Splker, said Mrs
Barker, the hostess, as the dinner ad
vanced, cit is your time to give ;
toast, and pray say something com
plimentary to our SEX"
"When my charming hostess" sale
the Major, rising, requests me TO dc
a thing, it is my duty to obey
Therefore l take pleasure in drinking
the health of the ladies, who cherisI
usln prosperity, soothe us in adver
sity, and by their ministerings light
en- the burden OF hte-I drink to th'
ladies"
~.When the applause subsided, Mrs
Spilker, ignorant Of the true subjec
OF the toast, but glowing with pride
and admiration, said:
"Oh, Mrs. Barker, you don't know
how fond the Major is OF them. Pv'

WY LITTLE WOMAN.

From Good Words.
A homely cottage, quaint and old,
Its thatch grown thick with green and golt
And wind-sown grasses
Unchanged it stands in sun and rain,
And seldom through the quiet lane
A footstep passes.
Yet here my little woman dwelt,
And saw the shroud of Winter melt
From meads and fallows;
And hear the yellow hammer sing
A tiny welcome to the Spring
From budding sallows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with tender wild-rose dye
Above the larches;
And watched the crimson sunset burn
Behind the Summer plumes of fern
In Woodland arches.
My little woman, gone away
To that far land which knows, they say,
Nomore sun-setting
Iwonder if her gentle soul,
Securely resting at the gold,
Has learnt forgetting?
My heart wakes up, and cries in vain;
She gave me love, gave her pain
While she was living
Iknew not when her spirit fed,
But those who stood before her said
She died forgiving.
My dove has found a better rest,
And yet love the empty nest
She left neglected
1 tread the very path she trod,
And ask-in her new home with God
Am l expected?
If it were but the Fathers will
To let me know she loves me still,
This aching sorrow
Would turn to hope, and could say,
Perchance she Whispers day by day,
''He comes tomorrow"
Ilinger in the silent lane,
And high above the clover plain,
The clouds are riven
Across the fields she used to know,
The light breaks, and the wind sighslow,
"Loved and forgiven
