THE BREECHEs BIBLE.
A Copy of the Rare Old Volume Owned
in Hartford.
Hartford Times.l

Hartford Times.l
A well-preserved volume of the genuine
old "Breeches Bible" so called, is in the
possession of Horace johnson, of Hartford
1t was printed in London in 1902, in the
old "black letter" text-enough to spoil
the sight Of any but the most persistent
reader; but it was kind of print with
which Shakespeare and Lord Bacon were
familiar. This edition-probably copied
from the Bishops Bible" of 156S-de-
riyes its irreverent name from its version
of the story Of Adam and Eve in the gar
den. In chapter iii, v. 7, after telling of
the transgression, it reads:
2. Then the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked; and they
sewed hg-tree leaves together, and made them
selves breeches.
That picturesque attire is changed in
King James version, which appeared
nine years later, to "aprons"-the present
accepted version. King James ffty-four
translators only made alterations Of the
Tyndale and Cloverdale text, and of the
Bishops Bible" when it was found to be
necessary The new revised version,
however, makes good many changes. 1t
cost poor Tyndale his life-he was burned
at the stake, near Brussels in 1536-for
daring to make translation into En-
glish.
This quaint old Bible includes those
Old Testament books that have since been
relegated to the nebulous limbo of the
Apocrypha," and includes them without
any mark of separation from those that are
now accepted. There are the books of
Baruch, of Susannah, Of Jesus, the son of
Sirach, the book of Maccabees, Esdras,
Tubit, Bel and the Dragon, ETC., all
figuring as part of the divinely inspired
word. If we can believe the various holy
Councils" on these subjects, more or less
of these apocryphal books are not so in
spired.
Mr.. Johnson's old Bible contains also
the quaint psalmody of Sternhold and
Hopkins-the psalms of David ''done into"
English verse.
The quaint character of the mechanical
work alone of this old Bible makes it an
interesting study to any one especially who
knows much about printing. Unfortu-
nately the quaint old title page is missing
Its place being supplied by pen and
ink copy.

TRUE LOVES TIiE.
When shall find you, sweetheart,
Who shall be and must be mine?
seek, though the world divides us,
And send you the secret sign.
There's b'ood in the veins of morning,
so fresh it may well deceive,
When man goes forth as Adam,
And woman avail him, as Eve.
There's an elfish spell in the twilight,
When the bars of fancy fly,
And sense is bound by question,
And fate by the quick reply.
And the moon is an old enchantress.
With her snares of glipmer and shade,
That have ever been false and fatal
10 the dreams of man and maid
But III meet you at MONDAY, sweetheart,
In the billowy fields of grain,
When the sun is hot for harvest,
And the roses athirst for rain.
With the daylight's truth on your forehead
And the daylight's love in your eye,
I'll kiss you without question.
And you'll kiss me without reply.

DURHAM NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY,. DECEMBER
A Kiss in a Canoe.
maiden Iat in a light canoe,

The maiden lat in light canoe,
Afloat on mountain lake;
And a mad idea shot wildly through
The brain Of her lover (who sat
there, too
That he, in that self-same light canoe,
A stolen kiss would take.
Now the maiden sat there, unaware
OF tine plot that he had Matched;
And the mountain breeze played
with her hair
And famed her cheek and her brow
So fair,
As she sat there still quite unaware
OF the kiss sosoon to be snatched.
Then the lover awaited real good
chance
To capture the longed-for kiss,
When, watchingthe whipping waye-
lets dance,
She turned her head with a quick,
sly glance,
And leaning back she gave him q
chance
That was really too good TO miss.
SO he bent TO meet her, and tried to
steal
The kiss that he burned 10 get,
But he bent 10 quick 10 bis ardent
zeal
That the craft upset like whirling
wheel,
And he missed the kiss that he tried
10 steal,
And they both got very wet.

Work.

The Kings Daughters and the
Kings Sons were in council yester-
day at the Broadway Tabernacle.
1t was their annual public meeting,
and in spite Of stormy weather large
numbers were present at the differ
ent sessions, among them delegates
from all over the country. There
are now circles of "Danghters" oil
over the world. Reports came from
New Zealand, India, and China,
where the purple ribbon and silver
cross are worn by those who minis

thousand members of the order wear
only the ribbon, but there are 49,
$40 who bear the shining cross, and
Of that number 81, ,S94 have purchas-
| ed it within the past year. These
silver badges cost thirty cents each.
Young Mr.. Smith, the Princeton
greduate, had many interesting
things TO tell. He spoke Of a plan
TO raise money for charitable work
which seems to have operated sue
cessfully. People pledge themselves
TO sell iewelry and plate which they
possess and which is not in actual
use and devote the proceeds to the
fund. In one case a society girl
sold her trinkets and german favors
and realized $50.
A young girl told Of a circle Of
ten uillisg helpers she has drawn
together. One is a young broker
who is too busy to go cut Of his way
TO find work, but last summer he
pledged himself To ''lend a hand" to
every poor soul he meets toiling up

A New York pastor, who, though a
Scotchman, had lived in America for
over forty years, was one day taken to
task by his daughter for the broadness
Of his accent in the pronunciation OF
the word difference.
"How do I pronounce it?" he asked.
"You say difference"
"And what do you say?"
Difference.
Looking at her for moment, and
getting her to repeat, he continued,
asWell, M, will you just be so kind
as to tell me the difference between
difference and dufference?"

scholar to "gang his ain gait" in pronun-
citation henceforth. - Ha1pe7's Maya

What Mine Host SAYS.

It is mistake to suppose that our
register books are open to the public
as a right. It is simply as matter of
courtesy that we permit any one to
look at them, as We are not obliged to
show them. If a person calls at the
house in order to see a friend or find
out if he is stopping there, it is his
place to inquire at the office; that is
the only proper way. Our books are
always destroyed now as soon as they
are full. Hotel-keepers have been sub
jected to much annoyance by being
frequently ordered to produce them in
court as evidence in complicated law
suits. In order to avoid so doing we
always destroy our books, and can say
to the court that we have no record Of
any such parties as the ones in ques-
ton having been at our house at any
time

Characters of Fiction.

How very dear to us do these char
acters Of fiction and the drama become,
says Detroit Free Press writer. Take
Sheridan's comedies, for instance. Bob
Acres is q type of the blatant yet sim
pie coward to be found everywhere.
What would literature be without that
character? And so is Joseph Surface
the prototype Of every oily hypocrite.
Fielding's Joseph Andrews we all know
we'll, even if we have never read the
novel, because there are plenty of men
about us who have goodness Of heart
but not q bit of intellectual perception.
Shakspeare's Malvolio may be accepted
as o faithful cross between O self-con-
ceited ladies' man and q modified type
of the modern masher. Shakspeare's
Iago may be placed. side by side with
Sheridan's Joseph Surface, but Iago is
more devilish in his nature than the
other. Othello is the incarnation of
jealousy, Shylock Of avarioe. In Bal
FAC we find the tragedy and the COM
edy of human life, it's lights and
shadows, strangely blended. No one
can read Pere Gorlot, OF Cousin Pons,
or Cousin Bette, without feeling that
such people as live in those pages are
a part and parcel Of everyday life, and
that it is source Of profound regret
that they do live. Victor Hugo's "Les
Mis- CRADLES" is one of the most power
full and eloquent sermons in behalf Of
an upright life that ever has been
preached. In the character of Jean
Vatican we see what it is to have the
moral weakness of man brought into
direct opposition with his moral
strength. By this contrast we learn to
set the higher price upon goodness and
uprightness.
