FINDING THE PINK ARBUTUs.

Far in the depths Of the mighty woods,
Where the swapping turtles run,
Aud the brindle COW in the branches broods
From the dawn to the set of sun;
Where the caribou and the panther fight,
And the hungry coyotes bark,
And the blue fox howls the hyelong night
Near the den Of the Boojum Shark;
Where the framptious Mugwump makes
his lair,
And the amorous guyascutis
His love song sings to the grizzly bear,
You'll find the pink arbutus.

In all these cases, as in many 9TH
ers, there seems to have been strong
minority among the revisers which
held out for the alternative readings
and succeeded in putting them in the
margin, which contains most of the
scholarship of the revision. Th first
verse in both the authorized and re.
vised versions is the same. The first
alteration occurs in the second verse,
where, instead of, "And the earth
was without form and void" we read
"And the earth was waste and Void
The text of the story CT the Creation
is without other striking variations.
The same may be said of the descrip.
tion of the fall and of the food. In
the ten commandments are some yer.
bal alterations, the most striking be.
ing that the sixth, "Thou shalt not
kill" Exodus xx, 49, becomes, "Thou
shalt do no murder
The connection of America with
the revision remains to be noted. 1t
is explained as follows in the preface
"The revisers had already made some
progress, and had, in fact, gone twice
through the Pentateuch before they
secured the co operation Of the Aneri.
can Old Testament Revision company
The first revision of the several books
Was submitted to the consideration oi
the American revisers, and, except in
the case of the nentateuch, the Eng
lish company had the benefit of their
criticism and suggestions before they
proceeded to the second revision. This
second revision was in a like manner
forwarded to America, aud the latest
thoughts of the American reVlsers
were in the hands of the English com.
pany at their final review. In every
instance the suggestions from Ameri'
ca were treated with the same con.
sideration as those from the members
of the English company, and were
adopted Or rejected on their merits.

One wonders if he treated any

AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and lie has never yet heard Of Its fall
urc to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LFLASDs farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state OF his blood, an ugly serofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. -|Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lamp, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became eror-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities OF extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was OF any
avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND's direc-
tion, was supplied with Ayers sARsArA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and Irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

A SPIDER CoRRALs A SNAKE.-On
Thursday night q young cowsucker snake,
ABOUT a foot long. got into Justice Robin.
son s Office, in the basement of Masonic
Temple, Easton, Md, and located itself
under an old sofa, in the back of the Office.
where a large spider had his headquarters.
When the spider discovered his visitor he
threw web around the snakes neck and
fastened it to the bottom Of the sofa above
the snake. He then proceeded to add
another, and another, and another, until
the combined webs made strong cord.
and completely fastened the snake so that
IL could not extricate itself. If it ATTEMPT
ed to 60 forward, the cord raised its head
higher and higher, until his snakeship
would be half off the floor. If it attempt
ed to go backward, it ended in the same
way. Such was the condition of the snake
when it was found on Friday morning by
Mr.. Robinson. In the meantime the spi-
der was secure in his nest above, looking
down upon the snake and awaiting results.
Doubtless, to the great disappointment of
The spider. Mr.. Robinson extricated the
snake from its hanging position and killed
It, and threw it out of his office. We had
40 idea that spider would tackle snake
