Are You Happy.

Many years ago very scholarly and
deVout Christian minister related to me
little of his experience, which made a
deep impression on my mind. A few
days ago, said he, it occurred to me to
ask myself this question: Are you hap
Ply? Reflection compelled me to answer
No, am not happy. True, abiding
peace is not mine. Every day 1 am
more or less disturbed, restless, anxious.
Now, [ said, Ought this to be so? 1 pro-
TESS to be Christian, redeemed, saved
sinner, and | am looking forward to an
entrance on our eternal home of happi-
ness and purity. If such is my state
and such my prospect, ought not to be
happy? Does not the Lord wish it? has
he not provided for it?
The result of these reflections of nv
friend was the conviction that he was
not merely neglecting a privilege, but
committing actual sin, by not being a
happy man. He set himself, therefore,
diligently to inquire into the causes and
cure Of his unhappiness. l cannot say
what was the measure of his success.
But, my Christian reader, should you pro-
pound this same question to yourself,
Am l happy? what would be the honest
answer? | am persuaded the confession
with most would be, No, am not. l
have seasons Of enjoyment, brief and i'm
perfect, but there is no settled and un-
disturbed enjoyment, no peace that is
like river in its deep, steady, onward
flow. Flashes Of sunlight l have which
are bright and exhilarating, but they do
not continue, and they are followed by
clouds and gloom. Taking this question
with you into review of your personal
experience for the year Just closed,
would not the report be such as I have
described2 And where lies the diff
Guilty? What has hindered your happi-
ness2 Is it contrary to the wish of our
Master that his disciple should be hap
py2 The perfect life, we admit, is be-
yond, not here. The celestial city with
its gates Of pearl and streets and harps
OF goldis the other side the death-stream
But we used to sing,
The hill Of zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets"
And we know our Lord promised us
peace. 1t was his dying legacy to his
followers" My peace give unto you"
Is that vain promise2 Is it to be full
filled IN the world beyond, the life to
Gomez or in the life that now is? o my
brother, this peace is not something laid

Sir Edmund Beckett, in his SHOULD
the Revised New Testament be An
thorized ?" says: zone need not even
know Greek to Judge whether the Au-
thorlzed Version and the Revised Yer
sion Of any text mean the same thing
and if they do, which of them expresses
it the best. Nor is it at all necessary
that any one who criticises it should be
able to express it better himself it order
to Judge whether the new language is
justly called fiat, harsh, obscure, awk-
ward, inharmonious, such as nobody
would use in either common or solemn
speech, and altogether different from that
of the present English Bible; and
whether it is truly said that the revisers
have taken all the life and poetry out of
nearly every sentence that they have al
tered. The English-speaking people ofthe
world want the English Bible to express
the full and substantial meaning Of the
writers Of the original in the best way.
and not in the way that is used to test
schoolboys' knowledge Of the parsing Of
every word. | find that it is probably
much within the mark to say that there
are from 1000 to 200 distinctly bad
alterations in the 200 chapters Of the
New Testament. And if anything ap-
preaching to such number Of undesira-
bic alterations has been made, that alone
is conclusive against adopting them by
Act of Parliament. But besides these
distinct defects, which can be counted,
there is one, uncountable and unaccoun-
table, that taints every page and nearly
every extraordinarily, the badness Of
the style C. all this new New Testament"

faults Of others, and arrogant in passing

Letter From Louisa County.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandria Gsz

correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette
LOUISA G. H., May l6.-There have been
very many different reports concerning the
recent poisoning case in this county. From
what I can gather, the facts in the case are
substantially these: A box of French can
dy was received by the two Misses Bowles,
a note accompanying it, saying that the can
dy was for the ladies and they must eat it
all themselves. TO the note the name of a
young man of this place was signed, but
that he is guilty, would be the last thing any
one here would believe. Suspicion having
been cast on O married lady, on sew
eral respectable young ladies in the neigh
borhood, and probably on others, it's safe to
say that no one has any idea who the guilty
party is.
Old Mrs. Beadles of this place, was burn
ed so badly the other night that she has since
died from her injuries. 1t is hard to get ut
the facts indeed all that is known touching
the case is that she was fond in her room
in light blaze. She was probably standing
by the fire in her night apparel and accident.
ly caught fire from the stove or wood-ire
which ever it was. She vas the mother of
the late DR.. Percival Beadles, and of Mr.
Frank P. Beadles who resides here.
1t is great wonder that females are
not burned in this way great deal more
frequently then they are much caution can
not be to often urged upon the gentler sex.
The weather has been very cold. rainy.

dress of a newspaper, but the main thing /
LOOK upon is its principles What admire
in the Gazette is that it is bold. out-spoken
Democratic organ, denouncing in plainest
terms that which it believes to be wrong
and defending with ardor what it believes
to be right. The Gazetteis Southern journal
