One of the prettiest conceits in Mr.. Harris
(Uncle Remus) new book rs put into the mouth
OF an old negro driver. He had run away from
his master and could not be caught; but an old
lady bought him, because he had saved the life
of her son, and he surrendered himself and be-
came a faithful servant When his old mistress
came to die her wandering mind dwelt upon
the negro who had served her faithfully She
fancied she was making journey. "The car
rla9e goes smoothly along here" she said.
Then, after little pause, she asked "Is David
a corner of the room: saint po' Dave. mis-
tr'ss! De good Lord done TUX holt err de lines y
And so, dreaming as little child would dream
the old lady slipped from life into the beati-
tudes, IL the smiles of the dead mean anything.

cfliation. 1t will be from his flesh, and as his
body is said TO have been destroyed, it must be

In the margin are stated the other and more
generally accepted views which consider the
vision as made without the fiesh'-i. e., in =
disembodied state, and that Job sees God "on

MY re1nS are consumed within me, is an eX
preston of intense longing.
The Psalms are definitely divided into five
books, the last four beginning respectively at
Psalms xiii, kill, &c. and evil. In Ps. Wifi. 5.
man Is said "tO have been made little lower
than God.' which exactly conforms to the He
brew. The A. VS., flower than the angels was
taken from the Xxx. land copied by the Nul-
gate, and quoted in Hebrews ii. q, where they
answer the needs of the writer's argument. But
the quotation in the n. I. affords no reason for
overlooking the strength of the Hebrew. The
use of JEHOVAH lin place of LORD in the first
verse and the last adds to the force and beauty
OF the psalm. In Ps. TX. the confusion and OBJ
security of V are removed by q version which
brings Gods overthrow of the wicked into
marked contrast with the fact that HE sits as
king forever. In Ps X. every verse except the
first Is more or less changed with the effect on
the whole of greatly increasing the vividness OF
the characterization. In XII the substitution
of Gin darkness for .'privily" is one OF many in
pressive than any paraphrase. The 10th Psalm
Is greatly improved. Its general theme is that
God is all in all to the believer, and this is well
given in the new rendering ofv.2,
have said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord;
have no good beyond thee
In v. 10 the revision substitutes for the mis-
leading, Gin HE'LL the literal rendering "to
SheOl" which means that the singers soul is
not to be abandoned to the state of the dead.
The change OF the same word in xviii. shows
that the writer there was not complaining of
hellish sorrows, but of the network of the I'M
seen world closing around him.
The cords of Sheol were round about me-

copies OF the Revised Version of the Old TeS-
lament have at last been given to the press.
The New Testament Revision issued in
May, 1881, and more than three millions of
copies were sold before the close of the year
The sale of the Old Testament is not likely to

no Changes of the Hebrew text-no older manu-
scripts than the Masoretic having been discov-

conservative feeling OF the Church in its attach
ment for the language of the old version. 1t is

SION of the common version. The simple aim
has been to correct the errors of the translation
and make the revision perfect as possible 1t

As far as our space will permit we propose to

A correspondent at Redwood Falls asks II

family six or seven years. and has planted all
the trees required Of him, can properly sign
petition for the laying out of new town road
without waiting until he has made final proof
of his claim Tho statute tchap. IL, sec 30,
requires that petitioner for the laying ont or
altering of town road shall be legal voter
and must own real estate 'Or occupy rea! es-

of the United States, or under contract with
the State of Minnesota within one mile of the

Central American Complications.

Gen. I. b. Bunting of New York, who some
years ago held a prominent position in the
army OF Guatemala, has just received letter
from an American gentleman living in Guatc-
mala, which throws much light on the Central
American complications. Tie letter which 10
dated Guatemala, March II, after speaking OF
Barrios' announcement OF his designto cOnsol-
idate tho five republics, says:
As Salvador now sends ambassadors to dis
cuss, and perhaps TO arrange matters to make
common cause, Barrios has deferred offensive
operations Still, not 70 DO taken unawares,
he has dispatched las they say 10000 troops
to the frontier. l think the number may be
exaggerated but troops are leaving every day,
and a large amount OF ammunition, equipments,
et,, il being sent forward. Volunteers
come pouring in from all quarters, without the
necessity Of returning the fees" for this man
has, as he alone can do, impaired his magnet
ism to the people Many foreigners are Offer
ing their servscs, and things are being pushed
with vigOr aud energy that leaves doubt Of q
speedy and glorious termination of the conflict.
BsrriOs sees all, understands all, orders all.
With a memory that staggers at nothing, per-
ception quick as lightning, mental scope
taking in everything at glance, personal
bravery amounting to temerity, a cool head
that never loses lis Judgment, and an energy
that knows no faltering, he compcls success
and will, before many months roll around,
make of this weak, disinteSrated country
aolid, strong, prosperous republic.

A CURIOUS story of Mr.. Hastings.

When q young man he met pretty

and, becoming enamOrcd OF her.

possession of the family living. Thir-
ty years passed by. Mr.. Hastings for
got his early love, married, lost his
wife. and finally gained as second
living that he had always desired.
One day the venerable old pastor was
