A Manuscript Copy of Portions of
the Bible Thousands of Years Old.
1rk SIN Cable Letter.

Ne,c York Sun Cable Letter.
A Mr. Shapiro, of Jerusalem, book
seller and dealer in antiquities, has ust de-
posted in the British museum fifteen slips
of black sheepskin leather, on which are
written, in characters similar to those on
the celebrated Moabite stone, portions Of
the Book of Deuteronomy differing mate
rally from the received version. The date
of the slips is the ninth century before
. Christ, or sixteen centuries older than any
authentic manuscript of any part OF the
Old Testament. Mr. Shapiro bought them
from an Arab, and he asks for them S.
100000 from the British museum. If
genuine, the interest and Importance of the
discovery cannot be overrated; and, so far
as variations in the sacred text are con-
cerned, there is promise of one of the
greatest controversies that scholars have
ever entered upon. The decalogue fur
nishes a good example for comparison with
the received version. [ quote from the
Shapiro record:
[ am God, thy God, which liberated thee
from the land of Egypt from the house Of
bondage. Ye shall have no other Gods.
Ye shall not make to yourselves any craven
image nor any likeness that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the waters under the earth
Ye shall not bow down to them nor serve
them.
I am God, your God, sanctify. In six
days [ have made the Heaven and the
earth, and all that there is therein, and
rested on the seventh day. Therefore rest
thou also, thou and thy cattle, and all that
thou hast,
I am God, thy God. Honor thy father
and thy mother.
am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
kill the person of thy brother.
am God, thy God Thou shalt not
commit adultery with the wife of thy
neighbor,
| am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
steal the property of thy brother.
I am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
swear by my name falsely, for visit the
inquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of
those who take my name in vain.
[ am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy brother.
1 am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
covet his wife, or his man servant, or his
maid servant, or anything that is his.
[ am God, thy God, Thou shalt not
hate thy brother in thy heart.
am God, thy God. These ten words
God spake.
DIR. Ginsburg, the eminent Semetio
scholar, to whom Mr.. Gladstone has just
given ESQ toward the production Of his
work on the Masorah, has deciphered the
above, and is busy completing translation
and determining on behalf of the museum
the genuineness of the fragments.

The Library.

Books which children can read should
be put on the lower shelves of the book
case, so that the children may be tempted
to take them down for themselves and have
try at their contents. These books within
child's reach need not be juveniles"
and indeed, had better not be. They
ought to be travels and biographies, brightly
written and full Of pictures.
On the other hand, books which child
rem should not handle should not be within
reach of their hands. Lead not the little
ones into temptation. Lock up your Rabe-
lais, and perhaps even your Fielding, where
little fingers may not happen on them.
Put the Elizabethan dramatists and the
comic writer's of the Restoration where no
Paul Pry, Jr., or his sister, may chance to
spy them. Out of sight out of mind.
All books need air The doors of all
bookcases should be opened now and then,
every few days, to let in light and to change
the air Books are nc more benefited by
solitary confinement than are men. All
books get dusty Every shelf should be
be cleaned out once in six months, every
book being busted and returned to its
place. The best duster for fine bindings
is a bit of soft chamois leather
Never cut open the pages of book or
a magazine with anything but paper
cutter, finger is too blunt, and tears the
edges. A knife is too sharp, and cuts the
edges unequally. The best paper cutter is
a thin slip of ivory. Wood and bone are
nearly as good. Metal is not.
A good book is good friend, and should
be treated with the respect due to a friend.
Never wet your fingers to t'lrn over
leaf. Be warned by the fate Of the king
in the Arabian tale. Never turn down the
corner of a page TO hold your place; never
put in d soiIed playing card or stained
envelope, or bit of dirty string, or a piece
of damp newspaper,
Never allow your books to get damp, as
thew may mildew. Never allow them to
eet hot. as the boards may warp and the
leather NAV crack. Never. put them on
shelf bi.sh up near the ceiling Of room
lighted BY gas.

Aoetlral,
A DREAM OF AUTUMN.

Mellow hazes lowly trailing
Der the wood and meadow, yelling
Sombre skies. with swallows sailing,
Sailor-like to foreign lands;
And the north wind overlapping
Summers brink, and flood-like sweeping
Wrecks of roses where the weeping
Willows swing their helpless hands.
Flaunted high, like torches fiing1ng
Flakes of fame and enbers, springing
From the vale the trees stand swinging
In the moaning atmosphere;
While in dead'ning lands the lowing
Ofthe cattle, sadder growing,
Fills the sense to overfiowing
With the sorrow of the year.
Fields of ragged stubble, tangled
With rank weeds and shocks OF tangled
Corn, with crests like wet plumes dangled
Over the harvest's battle plain;
And the sudden whirr and whistle
OF the quail that, like missile,
Whizzes over thorn and thistle,
And, missile, drops again.
Muffled voices hid in thickets
Where the redbird stops to stick its
Ruddy beak between the pickets
Of the truant's rustic trap;
And a sound of laughter ringing
Where, within the wild vine swinging,
Climb Bacchante's schoolmates fingfng
Purple clusters in her lap.
Rich as wine the sunset flashes
Round the titled world, and dashes
Up the sloping west and splashes
Its red foam against the sky,
Till my dream of autumn, paling
In the splendor all-prevailing,
Like a sallow leaf goes sailing
Down the silence solemnly.
