OLD EDITIONS OF THE BIBLE.

Queer titles have been given to some old
editions of the Bible. The 'Bug" Bible
was printed in London, in 1551, and re-
ceived it's nickname from the fact that
Psalms xci: 5 was translated, "Thou shalt
not need to be afraid for any Bugges by
night" instead of, as in our version,
"afraid for the terror by night"
The "Breeches" Bible vas printed in
Geneva in 1860, and is also called from
Gen. iii 7 being translated, 'They sewed
fig-leaves together, and made themselves
6reeches," instead Of aprons, as in our YER
sion.
The "Treacle" Bible wa printed in 1868,
and in it Jeremiah vii % reads, us there
no tredcle in Gilead," etc., instead foam.
In 1909 this word vas changed to "rosln,"
and so came the name of the "Rosin"
Bible; and in 1911 this last word was
changed for "balm," as now
The Gle" Bible, printed in 1911, took
its name from an error in Ruth iii: ID, me
measured six measures of barley and laid
it on her, and he vert into the city,"
when the word should have been "she
went into the city," etc. ,.
The "Wicked" Bible was printed in
1851, and was so named from its emitting
the word mot from the seventh com
mandment, making it read, "Thou SHAFT
commit adultery )" and this extraordinary
omission occurred again in a German
edition of 1875, so that there is a wicked
Bible in each language.
The "Vinegar' Bible was printed in
17l7, and is 50 called from the headline
of Luke Xxx, which, in it, is made to read,
"The parable of the vinegar" instead of
''the parable of the vineyard" The print
err of this edition was one John Basket, of
Oxford, and from it's many errors in spell
ing and punctuation, was sometimes called
"a basket full of errors"
The "Eel-pot" Bible was the edition
translated by Eliot for the Indians. De-

While we have traced the "Pioneer"

there was also issued here by James Nc

was continued from the date Of the first
number until 1880, but whether later than
this date we have noInaeans of ascertain

for the opportunity tp.examine which we
are indebted to Mr.. Nm. N. Simril, into
whose possession it came at a public sale,
shows no date of publication later than
1880. This publication was launched un-
der the title of Encyclopedia" and was
published weekly in pamphlet or maya

cover, on which advertisements were
printed. The first number of "Encyclo-

pedia" were printed, and on the com
mencementofthe second volumei it took the
name of the "People's Advocate" under
which title, as indicated by the old account

until 1880. A bound volume of "Encyclope-

raising her voice to a shrill pitch, she
called to all to look upon her.
"Yes!" she said, "look upon me, and
then hear me. All that the last speaker
has said relative to temperate drinking,
as being the father of drunkenness, is true.
All practice, all experience, declares its
truth. All drinking of alcoholic poison,
as a beverage in health is ercess. Look
upon me! You all know me, or did. You
all know I was once the mistress of the
best farm in the town you all know, too,

noble hearted, industrious boys. Where
are they now? Doctor, where are they
now? You all know. You all know they
lie in a row, side by side, in yonder church
yard all-every one of them-tilling the
drunkard's grave! They were all taught
to believe that temperate drinking was
safe-that excess alone ought to be avoid
ed, and they never acknowledged excess.
They quoted you, and you, and you (point-
ing with her shred of a finger to the min
lister, deacon, and doctor) as authority.
They thought themselves safe under such
teachers. But l saw a gradual change

to break the spell, in which the idea OF
the benefits of temperate drinking had in
volved my husband and sons. l begged,
I prayed but the odds were against me.
1.-THE minister said the poison that was
destroying my husband and boys was a
good creature of God /; the deacon who sits
under the pulpit there, and took our farm
to pay his rum bills, sold them the poison;
the doctor said a little was good, and the
excess only ought to be avoided. My poor
husband, and my dear boys fell into the.
snare, and they could not escape; and one
after another, were conveyed to the sor-
rowful grave of adrunkard. Now look at
me again. You probably see me for the last
time. My sands have almost run. l have
dragged my exhausted frame from my
present home-your poor house-to warn
you all to warn you, deacon! to warn you,

stretched to it's utmost, and her voice
raised to an unearthly pitch, she exclaim-
ed, II shall soon stand before the Judg-
ment seat of God. / shall meet you there,
you false guides, and be a witness against

The miserable woman vanished. A
dead silence pervaded the assembly the

Soon after the discontinuance of the
"Compiler," Mr.. J. E. Grist obtained con-
troll of the material used in its publication,
and on the 10th of August, 1843, COM
menced the publication ofa paper to which
he gave the nam of the Farmers Mis-
c~ellany." This title was subsequently
changed to the "Yorkville Miscellany"
and its publication was continued until the
goth of December, 1854, when the entire
establishment was transferred to the late
John L. Miller and Sam'l W. Melton, to
whom it had been sold in October, 1854.
The "Miscellany" was succeeded by The
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, the first number
of which was issued on the 4th of Janua-
ry, 1866. THE ENQUIRER appeared in a
form much enlarged and improved over
any of its predecessors, being printed from
an entirely new outfit of type, and on the
first cylinder or power press that had v
been used in South Carolina outside of
Charleston and Columbia. THE ENQUI-
REF was continued under the proprietor
ship of Miller & Melton for something
more than two years, and subsequently by
John L.. Miller until the 18th of March,
1858. Atthis' date, L. M. Grist, who had
been publisher and foreman of the mechan-
ical department from the date of. Miller &
Melton's proprietorship, purchased the en-
tire establishment, and by him the paper
has been regularly published, with the ex-
ception of a few weeks at the close of the
war, ever since.
For a few years preceding 1852, there

MEASURING THE BABY.

MGCAoOISlNU AI1E ~
We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lify grew at the threshold,
The boy was just as tall!
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And a heart likes jeweled chalice
The. fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blue-birds whistled
High up in the old roof-trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never a moment still,
Snatched at shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice sill.
His. ewes were as wide as blue-bell- Is.
His mouth like q flower midtown
Two little bare feet, like pretty white mice,
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought with a thrill of rapture,
That hath yet q touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses
Well measure the boy again.
All. moi In q darkened chamber,
TsytiShthSsuYstfIgs hdt away,
Through tears that fell like a bitter rain,
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little barefeet, that were dimpled
And sweet as q budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In the husho Of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little facelay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon;.
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from the rose, lay still
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept on the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby,
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with q childless moan
To the height Of the sinless angels
Our little one has grown

FRIGHTENED To DEATH.

Few people seem properly to estimate
| the great wrong of frightening children,
says the Arkansaw Traveller. Nearly
| every household has its ''ulgly old man"
or it's "great old BEAR" This terrible old
man and this great old bear are powerful
factors in nursery discipline. Come along
| here now,"a mother or nurse will say to
a child, land let me put you to bed" II
don't want to 60 now" the child replies.
YOU'D better come on here now, or I'll
tell that ugly old man to come and take
| you away" This has the intended effect,
and the child, trembling in fear, submits
at once and goes to bed, probably to see in
| Imagination all kinds of horrible faces.
The sad death of a little girl, which &C.
| Cured recently, shows what strong i'm
| preston these ~''boogers' make on the
minds of children. The little girl was a
beautiful child, and every one at the fash
ionable clearinghouse where her parents
were spending the summer months loved
| her with that purity of affection which q
| child so strongly inspires. She would
stand at gate and clap her little hands in
glee when her father came to dinner, and
when he would take her on his shoulder
| she would shout and call to every n to
look how high she was. One day a large,
shaggy dog came into the yard, and when
she ran to him and held a flower to his
nose he growled and turned away. She
was terribly frightened, and the black
nurse, who stood near, was not slow IN
making a mental note of the impression
the dog had made. Several nights after
ward, when bedtime came, the child was
unusually Wakeful.
"Yer'd better come heah an git in dis
bed" the nurse commanded.
CT don't wa t to ~
Cali right, den, Use gwine out an call
dat ole dog what growled at yer: When
he comes an fms yer outen de bed he'll
bite yer head off,"
The little girl grew deathly pale.
"Nuthin' would suit dat dog better dan
ter get a chance at yer. 'Tother night he
cotch a little girl across de road an cat her
all up"
The child screamed.
"Come on here, den, an I won't let him
ketch yer"
The poor little thing obeyed. Her faith
er and mother were at an entertainment,
and there was no appeal from the negro
woman's decision. When morning came
the little girl did not awake with her glad
''good morning, papa and mamma" She
had tossed all night and a hot fever had
settled upon her. She grew rapidly worse,
and the next day the physician declared
that there was no hope for her. She he.
came deliriOus and, struggling, would ex-
claim:
Dog shan't have mammals little girl"
1t was a sorrOwing circle that surround
ed her death-bed. The parents were
plunged into a grief which none but the
hearts of fathers and mothers can feel.
Her last moments were a series of strug-
giles. How hard the beautiful can die!
She wildly threw up her little hands and
shrieked:
$50 away, dog"
A gentle hand wiped the death froth
from her lips.
Again she struggled and shrieked:
"Dog shan't have" but she died ere this
sentence was finished.

From the "Princeton," which was dis
carded in 1859, THE ENQUIRER has been
printed successfully on improved presses,
introducing steam in 1868, the first country
paper in the State to apply that motor ;
and to-day, for the first time, the paper is
printed on a Campbell Two Revolution
Press, q representation of which is given
in the accompanying engraving. AS a
technical description of the press would be
uninteresting to the general reader, suffice
it to say that with a speed of 900 sheets
per hour, it is probably the finest machine
in any country office in the South. .
Our increased facilities shall be shared
alike by the patrons of THE ENQUIRER.
With the improved press we are enabled
to secure many advantages in the publica-
ton of the paper hitherto unattainable,
while it renders possible other improve
ments contemplated in the near future.

IS TEMPERANCE DRINKING SAFE?

AT a certain town meeting in Pennsylva-
MIA, the question came up whether any
persons should be licensed to sell rum.
The clergyman, the deacon, the physician,
strange as it may now appear, all favored
it. One mar only spoke againstit, because
of the mischief it did. The question was
about to be put when there arose from one
corner of the room q miserable woman.
She was thinly clad, and her appearance
indicated the utmost wretchedness, and
that her mortal career was almost closed.
After a moments silence, and all eyes
being fixed upon her, she stretched her
attenuated body to its utmost height, and
