The Greek of the New Testament.
IJ.I. Mombert, in Churchman.l

H. T. Mombert, in Churchman.
The language in which the New Testa-
ment is written is Hellenistic Hebrew or
Greek. not classical Greek. The writers are
Hellenists or Jews familiar with Hebrew
forms of thought using the Greek language,
for it cannot be proved on credible testimony
that they spoke Hebrew, Greek or Latin.
The popular dialect in Judea proper was
Syro- -Chaldaic, and that was the speech used
by our Lord and his apostles in conversation
and when they taught the people. While
Svro- Chaldaic was the popular dialect in Ju-
dea. Greek was the only language In univer-
sal use throughout the Roman empire-not
only read and understood by educated peo-
pie. but spoken by the Jews of Alexandra
and of the dispersion, at Antioch as well as
at Rome: and it remained the medium OF
communication to a comparatively late pc
riod. for Ignatius wrote in Greek to the Ro-
mans. Clemens Romanus wrote In Greek
from Rome. and Irenfeus in the same Ian
euace from Lugdunum. 1t is doubtless ow-
ing to this circumstance that the Origlnal
books and epistles of the New Testament
were written, if not composed, in Greek
that is. in Hellenistic Greek, which for the
nresent purpose may be described as Greek
formed on Hebrew modes Of thought. Add
to this considerable admixture OF Syro-
Chaldaic. and of classical. that is, OF Attic,
Greek. nnobsc,i-ed by provincialisms, and
particularly adapted to express the sunhme
conceptions of the new faith, and we nave
the Greek of the New Testament.

The Consumption of Wood.

To make shoe-pegs enough for American
use consumes annually 100000 cords of tim
ber, and to make our lucifer matches 100000
cubic feet of the best pine are required every
year. Lasts and boot-trees take 100000
cords of birch, beech and maple, and the
handles of tools 100000 more. The baking
of our bricks consumes 100000 cords OF
wood, or what would cover with forests about
$4,000 acres of land. Telegraph poles al
ready up represent 100000 trees, and their
annual repair consumes about 100000 more.
The ties of our railroads consume annually
thirty years growth of $4,000 acres, and to
fence all our railroads would cost $45, 600 900,
with yearly expenditure of $15,00O,000 for
repairs. These are some of the ways in
which American forests are going. There
are others. Our packing boxes, for instance,
cost in 1874 $12,O00OOO, while the timber
used each year in making wagons and agri-
cultural implements is valued at more than
$10O,000,OOO.

The Nautical Magazine, alluding to the
popular notion that great part of the crust
of the earth is becoming used up by mining
operations, and that if the soil which had
been dug out of the British mines were piled
up it would make quite a mountain range,
shows the s.bsurdity of such an idea by the
following figures: A cubic mile is equal to
147,19S millions of cubic feet, and allowing
291 cubic feet of coal in the solid to weigh a
ton, the amount obtained is just 5,O00,000,000
tons of coal in one cubic mile, and this q
a greater weight than all that has yet been
raised in the British Islands. According to
the most reliable statistics the end of 1878
Just about completed the first cubic mile of
coal, exclusive of waste in mining-the SIM
pie fact being, therefore, that if said fuel had
been stored in mountain heaps on the sur
face, instead of being buried in the bowels of
the earth, very small mountain range
would have been thus exhibited.

CARVING THE CHICKEN.
The Embarrassing Duties that Fall Up
on the Host.

When at last the work Of carving is done
the delicate and difficult duty of helping
begins. There can be no peace of mind for
the man who helps his family and his occa-
sional guests to any food, except soup or
oysters, both of which can be accurately and
fairly divided. In the case of chicken he
can never give satisfaction. There is no rule
in this matter, beyond that of giving the
chicken legs to the boys, which can be fol-
lowed To ask people what part of the
chicken they prefer is simply madness. Eth
er everybody tells the truth and demands
the best cut, in which case all but one will
be exasperated by failing to have their wish
gratified, or everybody will reply, "any part"
1T makes 10 difference" or words to the
same mendatiOus or aggravating effect OF
course, when the man who says 1T makes no
difference is helped to anything but the
breast, he becomes an enemy of the carver
for life, and nothing can disabuse him of the
impression that he has been wantOnly in
suited. 1t is far better to boldly help peo-
pie without making any pretense of consult
ing their wishes. They will then regard the
carver as rude and careless host; but they
will acquit him of any intention to press
open insults on his guests Perhaps the
most difficult person to deal with is the lady
WHO says Sne prefers Il icy. III the presence
Of this most trying person the carver is al
most certain to make a mistake. The chances
are that she abhors chicken legs, and express
es for the sake of polteness, an alleged pref:
erence which she confidently expects to be
dsregarded. To help such a one to a leg is
to abuse her confidence and secure her undy-
ing hatred On the other hand, if she is one
Of those rare women who really have an alb
normal fondness for legs, she feels herself
outraged if legs are withheld from her. and
decides that the carver is selfish brute, who
has not sufficient decency to respect lady's
wishes We shall never know how many
happy homes have been broken up, how
many friends estranged, and how much mis-
cellaneous misery has been suffered merely
because the duty of carving has been placed
in the hands Of the fathers Of American
families -------

Cuitivating Water Lilies.

We have several times suggested that
those who are fond Of the most beautiful
Water Lily, or Pond Lily (Nymph@a odordte)
as who is not can cultivate it with very
little trouble Those who have hesitated to
make the attempt will be encouraged by the
following account of its successful treatment
by Miss Rucllman, st. Joseph county, Ind
Miss K. writes: "We have Il half hogshead
in our yard, which is sunk even with the
ground In the bottom is some of the soil
taken from the bottom Of a little lake where
the Water Lilies grow. We put in several
roots of the Lily, filled the barrel with water
and then awaited results. The next July
we noticed seven small buds on the surface
of the water by the 1st of August, the sur
face of the tub was a mass of beauty, the
large white Lilies being an attraction for the
passers-by that could not be resisted. This
was three years ago; each year there have
been more flowers than in the previous sum-
mer. In the fall, we throw little manure
into the tank, place some boards over the
top, and with this little bit Of trouble in
crease the beauty OF our experiment, which
has been q success

CHERUBINO.
The Professed Lady-killer. Thirteen
Years of Age.
tCornhill Magazine. I

[Cornhill Magazine
At the first glance, when we see him sit
ting at the feet of the Countess singing to her
his love songs, he seems delicate, poetic
exotic whose presence takes us quite aback
in the midst of the rouged and pig-tailed
philosophy, the stucco and tinsel sentimen-
tality OF the French eighteenth century. In
these rooms all decorated by Boucher and
Fragonard; in this society, redolent with the
theories Of Diderot and the jests of Voltaire,
this page, this boy, who is almost q girl, with
his ribbons, his ballads, his bushes, his
guitar, and his rapier, appears like thing OF
long past days or of tar-distant countries; a
belated brother of Shakespeare's Cesario and
Fletchers Bellario; a straggler from the
Spain Of Lope de Vega. who has followed
NJ Caron de Beaumarchais, eX-watchmaker
and exmusic master to Mesdames the daugh-
ters of Louis XIV, from Madrid, and leaped
suddenly on to the planks of the Comediie
Franchise : = = ghost of some medic
val boy page. some little Jehan de Saintre,
killed crusading with his lady's name on his
lips. Or is not CherubinO rather Il solitary
torerrlnner Of romanticism, stumbled un-
timely into this France of Marie AntOinette
some elder brother of Goethe's Mignon? :
nay, perhaps Mignon herself, dis
guised as or metamorphosed into boy! :
= But let us look we'll at him; let
him finish his song and raise his audacious
eyes let him rise and be pulled to and fro,
bashful with false bashlillness half covering
his mischievous, monkish impudence, While
Susanna is mumming him up in petticoats
and kerchiets let us look at him again now
and we shall see that he is no Jehan de Sain-
tire, no male Mignon, no Viola in boys
clothes, no sweetly pure little romantic
figure, but an impertinent, precocious little
Lovelace, a serio-comic little jackanapes
signing and weeping only to giggle and pi-
Iouette on his heels the next moment. From
the Countess he will run to the gardeners
daughter, from her to the waiting maid, to
the duenna, to all womankind he is a pro-
tesscd lady-killer and woman-t teaser at 13.
There is indeed something graceful and ro-
mantle in the idea Of this pretty child consol-
ing with his poetical, absurd love the poor,
ill-used lady. But then he has
been smuggled in by that dubious abigail,
Susanna The sentimental, melancholy
Countess is amused by dressing him up III
womans clothes, and when in the midst of
the masquerade the voice of the Count is
heard without the page is huddled away into
a closet, his presence is violently denied, and
the Countess admits her adored, though
tickle, lord with curious, conscious, haft-
guilty embarrassment. We feel vaguely that
would never have introduced
his boy Ganymede or his page Cesario into
that dressing room Of the Countess Almavlva.

Around the Fire.
I From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
ANY one who denies that man is d creature
of circumstances should ponder the effect of
the first fire on the hearthstOne. In large
cities the fireside is merely a fgurative eX-
preston, for an iron grating in wall or floor,
through which hot air ascends from furnace
in the cellar, is the usual substitute for the
broad fireplace of our ancestors; bat on the
tirst cold night even hot air register works
a remarkable change in family manners and
ways Until the mercury fell some of the
lady members Of the family hugged open
windows in the evening, others lounged in
their own rooms, while the head of the house
and the grown up sons strOlled out OF doors,
going nowhere in particular, but objecting
strongly to being within closed doors. On the
first cold night, however, all cluster together
around the CRATE, stove or register, and each
seems to have gained new interest i'll every
body else Perhaps evening calls should be
made, or there are plays that all want to see,
but somehow home has suddenly become SO
interesting that no one cares to leave IT.
unless it is the young man who is specially
interested in some other young mans sister
and even he does not start as hastily on his
regular evening visit as he did earlier in the
season. Friends who drop in seem more in
teresting than ever before, and they have a
similar impression of their entertainers. The
appearance of having been born tired and
never recovered from it, peculiar to most
adult Americans in the summer season, dis
appears as if by magic, and with it goes the
general aversion to doing anything that each
finds so provoking in others yet persistentty
manifests in his own ways. The head OF the
house will discuss desirable Improvements
and pleasures without groaning at the ex-
pense; his wife does not find the children 50
troublesome and unreasonable as they Were
and the little people are not absolutely de-
pendent upon pocket money for their amuse-
ment The piano sounds sweeter than ever
before, and even those who have colds do not
excuse themselves from joining in a song
brothers and sisters will dash into an i'm
promptu waltz with only one another for
partners, and the children do not weep dis
mally when sent to bed. The autumn fire
stimulates the finest social qualities of civili-
zation What we would be without it is
shown by the defects of even the highest
social standards in countries where the
weather is warm all the year round.
