SOME CURIOUS BIBLES.

There are several "Treacle Bibles known to
book-cOlectors. The edition of May, 1541, of
Cranmer's Bible at jeremiah viii: %, asks Is
there no t,.yacle at Gilead? Is there no phsycyon
there?" There also appeared " ROsin " Bible in
which that word was substituted for treacle, and
Bug" Bible, because that unpleasant insect
was said by the printers to be the terror by
night, mentioned in the fifth verse of Psalm xci.
The Vinegar" Bible, printed by the Clarendon
Press Oxford. in 1717 is so called from the TWEEN
tieth chapter of Lukes Gospel being said to con-
tain "The Parable Of the Vinegar" (instead OF
"vineyard") y in the summary of contents at the
head of the chapter. 1t was looked upon as a
good joke in the times of political corruption
when Matthew (v:9) was made to say: BLESSED
are the pIace- makers" The "Breeches" Bible,
printed at Geneva in 1860 said at Genesis iii. :,
that Adam and Eve made themselves breeches."
This version is as old as Wyclife's time, and ap-
pears in his Bible. Some curious changes in the
uses of words have taken place even since the
date of the authorized version. For instance, the
word "prevent' which in the seventeenth cent
ury meant, and ought still to mean, to antici-
pate 1t is derived from the Latin prGreniTe,
TO come before" and in the authorized version
never means to hinder" Shakespeare uses pre-
vent for Anticipate" in Julius Cesar" vol. /,
and Burns in his "Cottars Saturday Night" A
printers error in the authorized version which
has been allowed to remain may be noted in this
place the letter s has been prefixed without au-
thority TO the word "neezed" in Second Kings
iv.: 30. 1t is printed correctly tneesings) i'll the
only other place where it occurs, at Job xii. Is.
"Neeze" is also to be found in "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" H.: 1.-Chdmber's Journal.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Censure is the tax man pays to the public f0r
being eminent.
An idle reason lessons the weight of the good
ones given before.
Some men take more care to hide their wisdom
than their folly.
Elephants are always drawn smaller than life
but flea always larger.
Virtue is always more prosecuted by the wicked
than beloved by the righteous.
Everyen is the son of his own works
Honey is not for the mouth of an ass
No paddock bolts or bars can secure a maiden
so well as her own reserve.
Wit and humOr belong to genius alone.

And the fisher folks near,
But wis they never hear
The songs the bells make for me, the bonny bells of

The folks are chatting gay and hear their merry din,
But look and look across the bay the bonny town of
Lynn;
He told me to wait here
Upon the old brown pier,
To wait and watch him coming when the tide roll
ing in
Oh him pulling strong, pulling DER the hay to me-
And hear his iovial song, and his merry face See
And now he's at the pier,
Nv bonny love and dear,
And he's coming up the sca-washed steps with hands
outstrctchcd to me
and thin!
., have you nought TO say
Upon wedding day?
Love hear you not the wedding bells across the Bay Of
Lynn"
O nv lover speak to me, and hold fast mine own!
For fear this rising and these winds and waves that
moan!
But never word he said!
He is dead my love is dead!

Alone and old and gray: and the tide is rolling IN;

HE DID 1T.

The Fanny was coming down the Mississippi
loaded with pig lead. As she was going over a
shoal place the pilot gave the signal to heave the
lead. The only man forward at the time was a
green Irishman. Why don't you heave the
lead?" "Is it to heave the lead, your honor !?
Where to?" "Overboard you blockhead!" The
Irishman snatched up one of the pigs of lead and
threw it overheard; the mate, in endeavorng to
prevent him, lost his balance and fell into the
river. The captain, running to the edge of the
deck, asked: "Why don't you heave the lead,
and sing out how much water there is?" "The
lead is heaved, your honor, and the mate has
gone down to see how much water there is,'

RACK RENT,

What is rack rent, dad?" inquired young
Comstocl<er, who had been reading the news from
Ireland. The patient parent laid down the stock
list and replied:
"Do you know how much charge Mr.. Bog
garty for his room up stairs ~
Yes, sir S12 month"
"Well, now suppose Mr. Boggarty should take it
into his head to have, at his own expense new
paper on the walls, the ceiling whtened, and all
the furniture mended, the room would look a
heap better, wouldn't it?"
Lor," murmered the intelligent lad
We'll, if the minute Boggarty had all the i'm
provements made, should 90 up and look around,
and jingle my money in my pocket, and remark
This is a pretty good layout for single man,
Boggarty, and You have altogether too soft thing
Your rent will be $50 month hereafter what
would YOU think of it?"
The innocent child giggled, and said That
would be cheek, wouldn't it. dad?"
Bet your money on it, my boy replied the
father beaming kindly upon his offspring.
That would be rack renting Mr.. Boggarty, and

We had all been our knees there for a quar-
ter of an hour when Sergeant Duchene arrived
quite out of breath He had run first towards the
arsenal, and seeing nothing down there, came
back by the street of the Capuchins
"Well,n said he what on earth made you cry
out"
Then perceiving the comet: "Thunder alive"
exclaimed he, "what is that?'
/" 1t is the end of the world, sergeant" said Bal
thazar.
The end of the world?"
Yes the comet"
Duchane began to swear furiously, crying out ::
" If the adjutant were but here one would have
the word of command"
Then all of a sudden, he drew his sabre, and
gliding along against the wall exclaimed: For
ward What do | care for it? III reconnoitre,
myself"
Every one admired his courage; as for me,
was quite carried away by his audacity, and de
termned to follow him. We went along slowly,
staring at the comet which kept increasing vis-
bly, in size, as fit travelling millions of miles
every second.
At last we arrived at the corner of the old con-
vent of the Capuchins. The comet now appeared
to mount up: the more advanced the more it
mounted: were obliged to raise our heads; at
last Duchene had quite to bend his neck back
wards, and look straight up into the air | was
few steps further off, and was looking at the
comet little sideways. | was considering with
in myself if it prudent to 90 any further,
when suddenly the sergeant stopped and said in
a low voice: Good heavens. it is the street Ian
term"
"The lanten" | exclaimed, running forward,
can it be so?'
| looked up quite wonder struck. 1t was in
deed the old lantern of the Capuchin convent
1t is not usually lit, because there have been no
monks there since 1893, and because the inhabi-
tants of Hunebourg generally go to bed with the
cocks and hens: but on this night the watchman
Burhus foreseeng that there would be a good
many tipsy people about, before he went to bed
himself charitably thought he would put a can
from tumblng into the ditch which goes along
by the old cloisters. We could now clearly dis
tinguish the old lantern between the branches of
the trees The snuff OF the candle was as thick
as ones t. and when there was a little gust
of win, !, snuff caught fire, and threw out, as
it were, .lashes of lightning, and this was what
seemed to move forward like a comet. When |
all this, was just going to call out to let the
rest of the people know, when the sergeant stopped
me, saying. Hold your tongue. If it were
known that we had made a charge at a lantern.
we should get finely laughed at. Listen to me-

HOW voLTAIRE CURED HIS STOMACH.

In the Memoirs of Count Segur" there is the
following anecdOte: My mother the Countess
de Segur. being asked by VOltaire respecting her
health, told him that the most painful feeling
she had arose from the decay in her stomach and
the difficulty of finding any kind of aiment that
it could b. - re, by way of consolation
assured heI .s once for nearly year in
the same st .H ieyed to be incurable. but
that nevertl ias> -ry simple remedy had re-
stored him 1t consisted in taking no other
nourishment than yolks of eggs beaten up with
the -four of potatoes and water" Though this
circumstance concerned so extraordinary person
as VOltaire, it is astonishing how little it is
known and how rarely the remedy has been
practiced. Its efficacy, however, in case of de-
bility, cannot be questioned and the following is
the mode Of preparing this valuable article Of
food as recommended by Sir John Sinclair: Beat
up an egg in a bowl and then add six tablespoon
fuls Of cold water, mixing the whole well to-
gether; then add two tableSpOOnfus OF farina of
potatoes: let it be mixed thoroughly with the
liquid in the bowl: then pour in as much boil
and mix it well. 1t may be taken alone or with
the addition of little milk in case of stomachic
debility cOns,mptive disorders The dish is
light and easily digested, extremely wholesome
and nourshing. Bread or biscuit may be taken
with it as the sto mach gets stronger

HOPE.

Hope teaches us that blackest cloud
Has e'er a silver lining;
: That cen while thunder mutters loud
The sun is somewhere shining,
Although we see it not; that night
Seems darkest, just ere morning
Shoots from the East its golden light,
The fields of earth adorning;
That earthly cares find sweet relief
In Gods own bright forever,
Where bitter trials, pain nor grief
May come to veX US never.

man has been on the streets for a few
days past canvassing for various period

lied agent. To some persons he has said
that his name is Flynn, that he is a cousin
Of Miss L. NJ. Flynn, bookseller, of West
King street and that he was going into
partnership with her. There is no truth
in this story Miss Flynn knows nothing
whatever about the fellow, who is beyond
doubt fraud. He is about 20 years old,
5 feet 8 inches in height, has a smooth
face, dresses well and sometime wears
plug and at other times stra W hat. His
operations appear TO have1 been mostly
among the ladies. to whom he exhibits
fashion publications which he offers to
furnish below publishers prices. He is
known to have received money from some
Lancaster ladies, and to one, at least; he
offered to furnish Harper's Magazine for
$40 per annunl, and throw in an occa-
sional number Of Scribner's. The police
are looking for him.
