WHEN YOU VISIT AN EDITOR.

Some persons don't know how to
act when in the sanctum Of an edi-
tor. Therefore it is we'll to inform
them: Blurt right in and stamp the
mud from your feet upon the floor,
instead Of knocking it off outside.
When you have a pint or so Of
warm, luscious tobacco juice in your
mouth, don't discharge it out Of
doors, but wait till you get into the
sanctum, then squirt it across the
floor orin behind the door. When
you see the editor is busy be sure
to keep right on talking to him
aqout something he knows nothing
Of and cares nothing for. Nothing
like interesting him. Be sure to
tell him a few stories, long ones,
full Of interest: and thus rest his
brains. When a hen is hurrying to
hatch chickens out Of eggs, it is
pleasant to have a lot of cold or
dirty door knobs pushed in under
her. Help yourself to letter paper,
envelopes, postage stamps, ETC., and
if the best gold pen is a particular
fit be sure to slip it in your pocket.
Don't forget to ask the editor to get
you an Office or endorse your note,
etc, no matter if you are not sub
scriber to his paper. Editors never
need subscribers any more than
candidates need votes. If possible
get your feet on the editors table
or desk, upset the inkstand and
leave mud aud manure from your
boots on his plotting pad. All such
familiarity cements friendship
Help yourself to what paper YOU
wish and take pocket full of new
exchanges. That will save him the
trouble of reading them. AS yor
are particular friend, do not sub
scribe for his paper, as you know
enough to get along without
!: newspaper. AS every moment o
his time is valuable, stay and bor'
, him an hour Or SO till you are rest
ed, then move on to find anothe
victim Exchange.

LEVIN, as he sells cheaper than

as exactly as was possible, the meaning of the
original And whatever may be the nature of
the reception accorded to their labors, at all
events they know that they have worked honest
ly for the glory of God, and not for human praise
or reward.
Their usual method of working was to meet
upon the morning of a Tuesday in each alter
nate month, and to continue their session for
ten days, until the Friday in the following week.
On each morning they met at ii, and continued
their labors until P. NJ, except upon the last
Friday when, for the convenience of trains.
they broke up at a rather earlier hour. Of these
sessions there have been no less that eighty five,
and the whole number of days devoted to the
work has been 1872 Their method of working
was to begin with prayer, after which the
Hebrew OF the book on which they were en-
gagged was read, verse by verse; the discussion
was then opened by the reading of the sugges
lions OF absent members; and finally, after
deliberation, the company proceeded to vote.
In this manner the whole of the Old
Testament has been gone through twice,
and while on the first occasion the vote
OF majority was sufficient, at the second revise
nothing was retained which did not command
the approval of two-thrds of those present
Many changes, therefore. which half the com
pany would have wished to make, and which are
at least probable have been rejected. At this
revise the company had, also, the benefit of the
notes of the American company, which were
often very judicious. Finally, third oppor-
tunity was permitted for considering dubious
renderingS, and the correction of contradictory
decisions; and there was thus ample room for
repentance in case any change had been too
thoughtlessly made AS the result, the version
errs rather in the way of conservatism, than of
rashness or unnecessary alteration; but this is
the smaller fault of the two. The revisers could
work only with the materials already provided.
Their business was not original research, but
the judging and sitting of what had been
furnished by others. And. remarkably
enough just as they are finishing their labors,
unhoped-for treasures are being brought to
light. Besides DIR. Ginsburgs Massorah,
manuscript of the Old Testament, said to be at
least four centuries older than any in our
libraries, has been discovered in the synagogue
at Aleppo. Portions, too, of very ancient codi-
ces have been acquired both by the British Mu-
scum and bySthe Imperial Library at Peters
burg. But u1Ail they have been studied, we
know not what will be their bearing upon the
present text Measures were at one time taken
for sending out Dr. Ginsburg to collate the
manuscript at Aleppo, but the breaking out of
the Russo Turkish war rendered his mission inn
possible. But our hopes still turn to him az the
scholar best able to make these treasures really
available for our use.
And thus, then, the labors Of the Old Tesla
ment company have been restricted to the
revision of the translation of exactly the same
text as that which lay before the reyisers in the
days of King James.
