The Revised Old Testament.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the very /
first copy issued of the complete new YER
sion of the Bible was presented Queen
Victoria, separated into five gorgeous vol
umes, royal edition. at midnight copies
in inexpensive form were delivered to the
press for comment, and the public in
England and America were given an OPP
portunity to purchase it Friday, which,
by a remarkable coincidence, was the
Feast of Pentecost, which commentaries
the revelation on Mount Sinai of the Dec
alogue.
The Committee of Revision was APP
pointed by the Established Church Convo-
cation on the 9th of May, 1870. OF the
sixteen members then appointed only six
survive. Retisers sat altogether 1872 days
of six hours. The whole work was gone
over in session three times. The first
time a bare majority carried an alteration.
The alterations then made were printed
and circulated among the reyisers. who
had the advantage before the second re-
vision began of suggestions by the Amer.
lean reyisers. On the second revision
two-thirds majority was necessary to con-
firm the alterations. The third revision
was devoted TO objections and points re-
versed.
As for the general result, when the
whole work is examined twill be found
that the revsers have ON the whole been
very conservative. The alterations in the
Old are much fewer i'll proportion than
those made in the New Testament. There
have been very few-merely verbal alter
ations. The revised Old Testament is al
most exactly the same in length as the old
one. There are important alterations in
the arrangements of chapters, which are
printed in paragraphs so as to keep the
consecutive sense, but are not divided in
to verses Poetical passages are printed
like blank verse. The first axiom of the
revised translation was telling to thepure
native significance of the words This is

The Young People.
a Very Small Lion.

~-~O~~'
In Africa, deep pits are often made
by human hunters to capture game, and
among the insects we fad the ant lien
(Myrmeleon) adapting similar ruse.
Its eggs are laid in sand places, and
when the young ant-lion appear they
have no wings, and are flat little Great
ures with immense jaws. AS soon as
born, the curious larv@ proceeds to
work. Each young ant-lion selects IA
soft place in the sand, and by turning
itself around and around, it traces an
exterior circle and by continuing the
spiral motion. and gradually retrcating
to the center, it marks out and forms a
cavity having spiras like those of a
snail shell. Next, these are smoothed
down by an ingenious process. fla
pebble rolls in, or is found in the slope,
the ant-lion places it upon lis head, and
with sudden jerk sends it for out of
the pit. But sometimes pebbles IRE
found that are too heavy to be thrown
out in this way. and then another plan
is adopted. The pebble is carefully
rolled upon the fat back of the ant-'ion,
which starts up the incline with is
tail high In air, 80 that the load is kept
upon level, and finally deposited up
on the outside 1t the pebble is round,
many attempts have to be made. The
pit is completed is seen to be a circular
or conical depression, at the bottom OF
which the willy hunter conceals itself,
only its jaws and many eyes being WIS.,
IDLE and here it awaits it's prey, that
sooner or later comes tumbling in. Ants
that happen to be off ON foraeing jour
ney are the most frequent victims. The
ant comes running along rapidly, and is
over the edge Of the pit before he
knows it, the treacherous sand giving
way and precipitatipg him down to-
ward the concealed lion. A moment
more and two Ito him) enormous jaws
open, and the ant quickly disappears
from sight forever. Sometimes, instead
of tumbing down into the pit, the ant
obtains a foot-hold and almost escapes !;
but in such q case the ant-lion throws
aside all concealment, rushes out, and
shovels sand upon its struggling victim,
and by successive jerks bombards it
with such fusilade of sand that, beat
en- and confused. it rolls down into the
open Jaws Of the cruel hunter. Flo,
two years the ant-lion carries on It's
predatory warfare, gra iually growing
larger and charging its pit, until finally
it is ready to change into a chrysalis
1t then envelops itself in a round bal
of sand, oemented together by fine silk
cords. In this coco it lives ahou

Temperance.
Legal Prohibition Necessary.

Legal Prohibition Necessary.
There has been and still are those
who believe and assert that education
and religion will take care of intern
perance without the aid of law, but
stubborn facts prove the contrary.
Education is cure for ignorance,
but ignorance is not the cause of in
Temperatures. Men who drink know
better than others how hurtful and
folish the practice is. They drink
because the appetite, when stimulated
by temptation, is stronger than rea-
son.
Though public schools abound
everywhere. who does not know that
a brewer can educate faster than
them all ? Now it is not the darken-
ed intellect alone that intemperance
has chained. There are victims on
its list that are brilliant in literature,
craftsmanship and divinity.
Pure religion is the moral cure for
intemperance as for every other sin,
but the question is, how are these that
prone to intemperance to be got and
kept under its power and influence ?
The ear Of the spirit must be
open before the heart can be
touched. Z; and intemperance not
only closes the spiritual sense, but
keeps the victim away from the sanct-
uary and it's influence. Religious
education cannot be relied on as the
sole and sufficient preventive, or cure
for this giant evil. Look at the christ
ian countries ofthe globe-Scotland.
Sweden, America, for examples and
the returns Of crime; officially given
are sad evidence Of the fact. The
men who are the most wide awake to
the need Of education, the minister,
the evangelist, who tread the lanes
and alleys of our large cities cry
aloud for the help Of the law. Most
of us are convinced that the condit-
ion of the people cannot be greatly
improved intellectually or religiously
so long as intemperance prevails
among them, and intemperance will
prevail so long as temptations to it
abound on every side.
Educational institutions employ
millions of money yearly christians
are active in seeking the salvation of
souls revivals occur ; temperance
reformers are active ; bands of hope
and good temperance lodges are or
ganized all have greatly aided in
this work they have accomplished
much. God only knows what would
be the state of our country or the
world were these agencies not at work.
But they have not been able to keep
abreast of, or to check the tide ofdc-
moralization caused by drink.
The conclusion to the whole mat
ter then is this Until there is suffi-
cient christian patriotism among the
leaders of the people to demand the
abolition of this license enormity, So
ciety must make up its mind to bear
the accumulated horrors of the curse
of drink.
