Revised New Testament.

The work of Bible revision upon which
large number of our best Biblical and CLASH
cal scholars, fifty English and thirty Ameri-
can, has been engaged for ten or more years
past, has now, so far as the New Testament
is concerned, been completed, and during
the last week the revised New Testament
has been given to the public. The revised
New Testament is printed in paragraphs
without the verse divisions. Both the chap
ter and verse divisions however, of King
James version are marked in the margin,
so that it is easy to compare any two pas
sages. The following are illustrations of the
changes that have been made. The common
or King James version is on the right hand
aud the revised on the lett. The changes
are marked in the new version by small
capitals

A Hint 10 Advertisers.

A millionaire. whU has made every
dollar of his foltune by advertising,
offers, oh retiring from business this
bit Of advice gratis to those be leaves
struggling behind, while he departs for
Europe to enjoy life: The fault OF the
ordinary advertiser is this, he gees in
for squirt, and while the fit is on him
he will pay mouey to any journal he
may fall across. By and by the bills
come in the advertiser finds that he
spent three times as many dollars as
he meant to; and as there are no re-
plies TO his advertising, he thinks the
speciality he has been trying 10 intro
duce has fallen fat on The public taste,
or business has become dull. and be
fancies buyers are few and little likely
to pay attention TO bis announcements.
He stops short accordingly, and loses
nearly all the benefit OF his previous
expenditure. The success reaped by
by those whose advertisements appear
every year should teach men OF bdsis
ness first 10 be careful in the selection
of the medium they choose. aud next

we're, disregardIng apparent failure, and

when advertising is most necessary.

MAKE THE BEST OF THINGs.--We
xcuse a mau tor an occasional depres-
sion Just as we endure rainy day. But
who could endure three hundred aud
sixty.6ve days Of cold drlzzle? Yet
there are meu who are, without cessa-
ton, sombre and charged with evil
prognostlcation. We may be born
with a melancholy temperament, but
that is no reason why We should yield
to it. There is a way of shutting the
burden. In the lottery Of life there are
more prizes drawn than blanks. and to
one misfortune there are City adyan-
tages. Dependency is the most un-
profitable feeling a man can have. One
GOOD laugh is a bomb.shell exploding
ia the right place, whlle spleen and dis
content is a gun that kicks over the
bread and the absolute continuance OF
their existence; for without the food
the farmer produces, this great nation
would dwiudle by famine into empty
nothingness. The farmer stands as the
mighty dispenser of natures rich gifts,
cuuningy produced from the soil by his
ready skill and hardy industry. and all
mankind are but humble suppliants up
on bis bounty; while the farmer asks no
iayors of any man, and depends upon
The mercilul providence OF Almighty
God alone.

A Legend abOmt Charity.

There is beautiful legerd among
the Greek Christians OF Syria, tor a
knowledge Of which we are indebted to
Buriin's interesting work, Inner Life Of
Syria. The lcgerd runs thus:
After Lots escape from Sodom an
augel gave him three cypress cuttings
to be planted at Hebron With the prom.
ise that if they lived and fourished his
great sin would be pardoued # they
died he must receive punishment. They
were 10 be regularly watered, bu, the
water was to be brought from the river
Jordan. So every day the palriirch
made his long journey 10 the river and
back again and the trees continued to
grow. But one day as he was return
ing to Hebron beggar met him on the
way and pleaded hard for drink ol
water, and it vas given to him. And
then another beggar aud another, aud
so on, until all the water was gone and
there was none left for the trees. So
Lot threw himself down in despair be
cause his young tree, would no, live
and his own soul wou'd be lost. for his
sin would not be forgiven. But an
angel appeared to him and told hin
that his acts of charity to the thirsty
beggars ha found grace III the sight oi
God, and henceforlh the trees wonld
grow without his watering. And they
did, and became in time mighty trees
and from one Of them The cross Of Christ
was made he who died for his charity tc
mankind might suffer on the tree which
was blessed by H. grace Of charity.

A HAPPY COUNTRY FOR CHILDREN.
A'I never saw people lake so much de-
light in their children,' writes Miss
Bird in her new book onsthe japanese,
carrying them about or holding their
hands in walking, watching aud enter
ing into their games, supplying the n
constantly with toys, taking them to
picnlcs and festivals, and never being
content to be without them. Both
fathers and mothers take pride ia
their children. 1t is most amusing
about six every morning, to see twelve
or fourteen men sitting on a low wall,
each with childor two IN his arms,
iondIing and playing with it and show
ing Of its physique and intelligence. At
night, after the houses are shut up,
looking through the long fringe OF rope
or rattan which conceals the sliding
door. YOU see the naked father bending
his ugly, kindly face over a gentle'
looking baby; and the mother, who
more often than not has dropped the
kimono from her shoulders, enfolding
two children destitute Of clothing ia her
arms. The children, though for our
ideas too gentle and formal, are very
progressing in looks and behavior
They are little men and women. rather

A Dying school Girls Last
Wish.

At one Of the public schools in the
northwestern part of The city the pupil.
are spurred 10 good behavior and stud,
by cards Of merit. a day of perfect be
hayior and study being recognized by q
fanciful small card. Twenty-four O
these cards entitle the pupil 10 on
larger and more ornamental card.
Among the pupils was a sweet little
girl. seven years of age. whose PRETTY
ways and devotion TO her lessons had
won for her the love and admiration Of
her school associates, and at the close
OF each day her name was sure to be
read from the roll OF honor. A few
days since her seat at school was notic-
ed 10 be vacant. and regrets were ex-
pressed on all sides, as it was the fir {
absent mark against her. The next
day one of her little schoolmates
brought word thatshe was detained al
home by illuess. On the third DAY
the teacher received the following
note:
my darling little girl Is very sick,
and, as fear. is dying. She has re
ceiyed twenty-five Of the small cards Of
merit and has asked me to send to you
to see if You will not send her one OF
the larger cards, as she is sure she
would have been awarded the two
cards necessary to receive the larger
one had she been able to attend school, -
The note was read to the pupils, and
Tor a time the scene presented in that
school room was most affecting. Not
only was one large card sent TO the d, =
ing pupil, but eight Of them were taken
10 her by her teacher, and those cards
the full complement possible for the
term-were with the child and seemed
a source of nHDite comfort TO her up to
the time OF her death. The child was
buried on Thursday, and prominent
among the many decorations upoq the
little casket wcre the cards OF merit,
pathetlcally typical of the buried hopes,
joys and ambitions of the little one
whose last dreams were Of success.
