JOB PRE.V'TEoV'G
JAMES, IS THAT YOU:"

Women are timid creatures, and
hate to be left in a house alone at
night, so, when Mr.. Gallagher
went away from home, leaving his
wife with only an ignorant SER
want. she was very much worried,
and readily harkened to the voice
ofan agent who called just after
| Gallagher had gone around the
corner, and wanted to sell her q
machine which would prevent
burglars from getting into the
house. She bought three. Those
placed at the front and back doors
were so arranged that, when the
door was opened, hammer would
strike down from above and knock
down the person trying to enter.
A third contrlvance of diferentpat-
tern was placed on the stairs and
another at the front window. Gal
lagher unexpectedly returned late
that night, and, attempting to en-
ter the front door, got blow on
the nose that knocked him down
the steps into the street. He was
both surprised and annoyed at
the circumstance, and, utterly un-
able to understand it, tried the
door again. Same result. He
then thought somebody was be-
hind the door trying to assassi-
nate him, and, getting up very
mad, ran around to the back door
to get in that way. Then he got
thump that sent him back into
the swill-barrel, and he was terri
bly, cross when be got up. He
grabbed an Ak, and, as he opened
the door again, struck with it.
But he hit nobody, and got auo-
ther knock-down. Then he went
and got policeman, so that one
could tackle each door, and one
be sure to get in but after both
had enjoyed three knock-dowus
they met and compared notes,
and decided that two men must
be in tho house. They then tried
the front window, and, raising it,
a deluge oficy water from a hose
arranged to bring it few upon
them. But they braved that and
got in. Then they ransacked the
lower part Of the house, but could
find nobody, and meantime Mrs.
G., upstairs, heard them, and
nearly died Of fright. They start
ed up stairs, Gallagher first, and
near the top a stair, fixed On a
pivot, rolled under Gallagher and
hurled him backward, and he
went to the bottom, taking the
policeman with him. They both
yelled, but Gallagher yelled the
loudest, and his wife recognized
his voice and his favorite oath.
Her courage returned. She went
to the head Of the stairs and
cried James is that you?' James
was painfully hurt and awful mad
then. and the policeman was try
ing to get back the breath Gal
lagher had squashed out of him.
No., cried James, 'it's not me;
it's some other fellow. Jim Gal
lagher was never knocked down
seventeen times in one night!'
But she knew it was he, and ex-
pIa:ned matters. And then Gal
lagher gave the policeman $40 to
say rothing about the matter, and
the officer retired and then Gal
lagher jawed his wife for two
hours, aad the next day went
seven miles to. .overtake the man
who sold her the machines and
kicked the fife nearly out Of him.
He admits that the things would
be dreadfuIly discouraglng to a
burglar thougb.-B0st0n Post.

1t is announced that day after
tomorrow there will issue from
the London presses and in this
country too, I believe, the long
talked of revised version Of the
New Testament. This is fact in
keeping with the spirit of search
ing investigation and unsparing
criticism of the Bible, which dis
tlnguishes our age, and it is in part
the result of that spirit. From
the interest it has already excited
and the influence it must have it
will surely mark an era in the
history of this century. In view
of this fact and as we meet in q
Bible Society it has seemed to me
not inappropriate to say some
thing about the revision of our
English Scriptures. [ shall not
be scholarly nor profound, but in
a familiar way I hope to say some
things which may aid you to re-
ceive this new version in the right
spirit and secure from it the great
est practical benefit. The discus.
sion of so broad a subject must of
necessity,under the circumstances,
be partial l shall, therefore, con-
fine myself 20 few Of the many
points that might be presented.
We all know: of course, that the
Old Testament was written origin
ally mainly in Hebrew and the
New Testament in Greek, so that
English speaking people must find
out the meaning Of these Ian
guages and convert them into an
English dress. Attempts were
made to do this in the early histo-
ry of the language, finally result
ing in the production Of what we
call the authorized version. With
reference to all translations of the
Scriptures I make this general
proposition, to which | am sure
you will all readily assent: that it
is our privilege and our duty to
have that version which comes
nearest to the exact convey ance
to US of the meaning of the origi.
nal-that only is the word of God
the inspired original.
l. Let US look at the chief diff
Guilty in the way CT the new YER
sion-a difficulty that has met
every attempt to introduce a new
translation Of the Scriptures
namely, our reverence for our En-
glish Bible. This grows in part
out Of its great antiquity and in
part out Of it's intrinsic excellence
1t is DOW about 275 years old. AL
down through these three centuries
it has been doing its benign work
When we consider the changes in
our language, the progress of the
arts and sciences, the march o1
human skill and learning in every
particular. it is simply amazing
how our version of the Bible has
lived and dourished and is still sc
fresh and modern. This very fact
is a proof of it's excellence, anc
| this is another reason OF our rev
erence torit. When we romembel
the restrictions placed on the re
visers that made it, aud the Difficult
ties under which they labored, i
is wonderful that they did theiI
work so well-so we'll that ever
the advanced scholarship of thes'
times is obliged to pronounce i
still an excellent translation. IT.
merits as a literary production
also have much to do with ou
reverence for it. Nothing in th'
history of the English tongue ba
done so much to influence am

THE SINGERS HEART.

THE SINGERS HEART.
The fire that filled my heart Of old
Gave luster while it burned;
Now only ashes gray and cold
Are in its silence urned.
All! better was the furious flame,
The splendor with the smart;
never cared for the singers fame,
But oh! for the singers heart
Once more
The burning, fulgent heart!
No love, no hate, no hope, no fear,
No anguish and no mirth;
Thus life extends from year to year,
A fat of sullen dearth.
All! life's blood creepeth cold and tame,
Life's thought plays no new palt;
I never cared for tue singers fame;
But oh! for the singers heart
Once more
The bleeding passionate heart!
