THE REVISED OLD TESTAMENT.
How Some Familiar Passages Have
Been Changed.

Been Changed.
LONDON. May 1G-Among the lighter
touches Of the revision Of the Old Testa
ment are those that occur in the we'll
known passag which is here given as
revised, "but I know that my Redeem
or liveth, and that he shall stand up at
the last upon the earth, and after my
skin has been thus destroyed, yet from
my flesh shall 1 see God, whom I shall
see for myself and mine eyes shall be-
hold and not another" Another well
known passage in Ecclesiasties becomes,
Remember also Thy Creator in the days
of thy youth, or ever the evil day come
or the years draw nigh when thou shalt
say I have no pleasure in them" The
change here, Remember also for ere
member now, with another variant cor
ever the evil days come" for while the
evil days come not The alterations in
the case Of Genesis have already been
given, and for the sake Of comparison
the two concluding verses from the Old
Testament may be extracted from each
version. The authorized runs thus:
Behold, | will send you Elijah, the pro-
phet, before the coming OF the great and
dreadful day of the Lord:
''And he shall turn the heart of the
fathers to the children, and the heart Of
the children to their fathers, lest ! come
and smite the earth with a curse"
The revised renders it: Behold, I
viii send you Elijah, the prophet, before
the great and dreadful day Of the Lord
come, aud he shall turn the heart of the
fathers to the children, and the heart of
tho children to the fathers.
Among the minor changes may be
quoted:
''The foolish scorned the guilt Offering,
for fools make a mock at sin.
The WITCH of Endor now seeG only "a
God" not Goods, ascending. In Pro-
verbs, "a naughty person becomes "a
worthless person" ''Wire is a mocker,
strong drink is raging becomes 'wine
is mocker, strong drink a brawler.'
In Daniel "AstOnied for a WHILE is used
instead of ''Astonied for one hour" The
substitution of modern words for Archaic
expressions has only taken place when
the word was not only obsolete but to
the public unintelligible. Goat Of mail,
for instance, is substituted for ''Brigan-
dine" in jeremiah IT,, 3, where the Al
mighty promises to raise an army against
Babylon land against him that Iifteth
himself mp in his brigandine." For the
word "Cockatrice' there is given ''basi-
iis5, with ladder" as the marginal alter
native. The wimples and the crisping
pins, mentioned in Isaiah ill.,, %, have
altogether disappeared ''Emerods" LIST
Samuel v. g. makes way for "humours."
.IIabergeon" is rendered in Exodus
xxxviii. as Goat of mail, and in Job
xci. as ''Thc pointed shaft"

a Senator's FEuse.

Minneapolis Tribune.
Some years ago some Wisconsin lands
were advertised for sale under the gen
cral law and United States Senator Saw
yer, then, as now, a large Wisconsin
land holder, took care to post himself
thoroughly upon the value Of each parcel
put up at auction. When the sale day
arrived party of Eastern capitalists on
the lookout for a speculation were on
hand to bid. They knew Sawyer, and
in every instance they raised his bid.
They felt very much elatcd when they
saw, or thought they saw, a look of
annoyance steal over his placid counte-
nance as section after section was knock
cd down to them. They bought nearly
every parcel upon which Sawyer set a
price, aud went away delighted at their
shrewdness. Some years after they
visited Wisconsin and called upon Saw
yer. He was delighted to see them, in
vited them to his house in Oshkosh, and
treated them very Hospitality. They
We're going to look at the lands they had
purchased at the sale. Sawyer chuckled
as he SHOOT, each by the hand, and in
vitcd them to call again when they came
back. They have not called to date.
The senator expected to meet sharpers
ut the sale, and so got friend to bid on
all the best lands for him and secured
the good timber lands offered. The
Eastern men still hold the titles to half
the bogs in Wisconsin.

Anda CIV Jacl1son's Tenderness


CIeayeland Leader.
People have little idea Of the tender
ness Of President Jackson's heart" con-
tinued Gen. Brinkerhofr. even on his
dcathbed, when his body was racked
with the pains of disappointing disso-
luton, his kindness of heart was shown
in nearly every act, one of his daughters
stories well illustrating this. Mrs. Jack
son, Jr., had some rare and tropical plants
which she priced very highly. and ten
dered with a great deal of care. But
few days before he died, when he knew
his end was near, Cen. Jackson called
his adopted son Andrew to his bedside,
and pointing to the plants which We're
standing on the front veranda, said:
Andrew, / can't live but few days,
and when my funeral takes place there
will doubtless be o great many people
here. Unless you take some way to pro-
tect those plants they will be broken off
or destroyed or taken away. Now Sarah
is very proud of them, and I think that
when that time comes you SHOULD have
those plants carried tothe uppeTyeranda,
} and lock the windows and then tAey will
be safe
"He died a few days afterward. His
directions in this respect were not OBJ
served, and Ms. Jackson's plants were
destroyed or carried away in pieces or as
u whole, as mementoes of the occasion"
