AN N.."ELEGAhT" TRANSLATION.

A Divine's Peculiar Attempt to Improve
the Scriptures.
The King James version Of the Bible
is classic of classics, but there have
not been wanting men who fancied
that il needed retouching and refining.
Dr.. Harwood, an English divine of some
two hundred years ago, went so far as to
make anew and elegant translation,
says the Youths Companion. His pur-
pose, as he modestly expressed it, was
to "clothe the genuine ideas and doc
trines of the apostles with that propri-
ETY. and perspicuity in which they them
selves, apprehend, would have exhib-
tied them, had they now lived and writ
ten in our language" Some Of his at
tempts to avoid "the bald and barbar.
GUS language of the old vulgar version"
are worth quoting as terrible examples
of what elegant writing is not.
The plain-spoken warning to the
Laodicean church is improved thus:
"Since, therefore, you are now in a
state Of lukewarmness, disagreeable
medium between the two extremes, I
will, in no long time, eject you from
my heart with fastidious contempt"
The translator is especially happy in
what may be called his personal
euphemisms. Nicodemus is 'tthis gen.
tleman;" one of the apostles Athenian
converts is "a lady of distinction" and
the daughter of Herodias is "a young
lady who danced. with inimita BILE grace
and elegance" The father of the prod
igal is "a gentleman of splendid fam
ily," and st. Paul no longer leaves
"cloak" at Troas, but ''portmanteau,"
as was certainly more becoming to
dignified ecclesiastic.
On the Mount of TRANSPORTATION st.
Peter no longer says in vulgar, every
day language: ''Lord, it is good for us
to be here" but ''Sir, what delectable
residence we might fix here"
The apostles saying: 1--WE shall not
all sleep, but we shall all bs changed"
becomes ''We shall not all pay the COM
mon debt Of nature, but we shall, by
soft transition, be changed from NOR
tality to Immortality"
The magnifcat is thus rendered.: "My
soul with reverence adores my Creator,
and oil my faculties with transport join
in celebrating the goodness of God, my
Saviour, who hath in so signal man
ner condescended to regard my poor
and humble station, Transcendent
goodness! Every future age will now
conjoin in celebrating my happiness

wAsHlNaToN's MOTHER.

How! She Met Her Son After His Seven
Years Absence,
When the tidings Of the splendid sue,
cess at Yorktown were brought direct
from the general to his mother, she was
moved to an exclamation Of fervent
thanksgiving: "Thank God! the war is
ended, and we shall be blessed with
peace, happiness and independence, for
at last our country is free" says Mrs.
Ella Basssett Washington. in the Cen
tury. Shortly after the surrender Of
CORVALLIS, Washington left Yorktown
with brilliant suite of French and
American officers, and started upon his
journey to Philadelphia, stopping on
the way at Fredericksburg to visit his
mother. It was nearly seven years
since he had last seen her face; he left
Mount Vernon in May, 1775, and did not
return TIL the autumn Of 1881. Now
that the time of meeting drew near, his
mother was serene but very quiet. only
smiling to herself eftener than usual
But 1t was not the hero crowned that
filed her thoughts. but the son who.
after years OF absence and danger was
coming back IA her On the 11th Of
November, 1851, the town Of Frederfoks,
burg was all aglow with Joy and revel,
ry. Washington. SIN the midst Of hts
numerous and brtliant suite" wrote
Mr., Custis, ''sent to apprise her This
mother] Of his arrival, and to kHow

the general in chief of the combined
armies OF France and America" he goes
on to say In the grandiloquent style of
the day, "the deliverer OF his country,
the hero Of the hour, repaired to pay his
humble tribute of duty to her whom he
venerated as the author Of his being"
etc. When the Warm embrace of greet.
Ing was over, looking into his face with
earnest, close observance, her eyes en-
kindled with maternal love, she said,
tenderly: "You are growing old, George;
care and toll have been making marks
in your face since / saw 1t last" Her
voice is said to have been singularly
sweet, and he loved its cadence as she
called him by name. She inquired Us to
his health, and she spoke much t'of old
times and old friends, but of his glory
not one word"

A SEVERE CLIMATE.
some Of tho Qiscomforts Attending Travel
In Greenland.

Some Of tho Disoomforts Attending Travel
In Greenland.
Everyone knows that a winter in
Greenland Is a cold season; but It is
pretty late in the fall" all the year
round in that part OF the world. Here
is a description Of September day
taken from "The First Crossing Of
Greenland"
On the morning Of September fourth
the weather was glorious and the air
still. There had been light fall OF
snow in the night The sun shone over
the infinitely monotonous snow field,
which, rising almost imperceptibly,
stretched away and away in front of us
like one huge white carpet, glittering
with diamonds, soft and fine in texture
as down, and laid in long, gentle undu-
lations which the eye could scarcely fol-
low. :
But in the afternoon the aspect of our
landscape changed entirely. A biting
wind got up from the northwest which
drove the snow before it. in one over
whelming whirlwind. The sky then
cleared completely and the weather
grew colder.
The wind increased In strength; it
was bitter work toiling along against
it, and we had to be careful not to get
badly frozen.
First my nose hardened, but dis
covered this in time to save it by rub
bing it well with snow. thought my
self safe now, but then I felt queer,
chilly feeling under my chin, where I
found that my throat was quite numb
and stiff. By more rubbing, and wrap
ping some mittens and other things
around my neck, 1put matters straight
there.
But then came the worst attack Of all,
as the wind found It's way in through
my clothes in the region Of my stomach,
and gave rise to terrible pains. This
was met by the use OF soft felt hat
as chest protector, and I was now
armed at all points: My companions
suffered as did, and the bodily COM
forts of our tent were more welcome
than usual that evening.

jim GOT A NEW SILK HAT.

He sang HAnn1e Rooney" on Chicago
Corner Without Attracting Attention.
"Ill bet you Q new silk hat that can
stand at Madison and State streets. any
Saturday afternoon and sing Little
Annie Rooney at the top of my voice
and not attract the attention Of as many
as three persons"
They were dining in q downtown
restaurant, young Chicagoan, whose
name may be Jim, and his New England
cousin, George: It was Georges first
visit to Chicago, and he had expressed
himself delighted with all the marvels
he had. seen, They were talking about
Chicago crowds and slipping their wine
when Jim made the foregoing state
ment.
"Why' what do you mean9" asked the
Yankee cousin.
"Just what say-that can yell
Little Annie Rooney at State and Mad
ison streets Saturday afternoon and
that there will be such O crowd and
roar that not as many as three persons
will pay any attention to me whatever"
"Pshaw! 1don't believe It. I'll take
the bet" .~.s-~-
The next Saturday AFTERNOON the
young mep made their way to the cor
ner in question. It was rather late.
The. shoppers and clerks and type:
writers and laborers were hurrying
home. Newsboys whisked. about the
sidewalks yelling as loud as they could,
carettes rlmbled by, street car bells
tangled and the cable gongs kept up
steady din, and the pavements gave out
one great roar of resonance from the
hundreds of wheels that rolled over the
granite blocks. George was game. It
was clear that he had never seen the
like before, but he got close to Jim's
ear and shouted: :
go ahead, old manr'
Jim sang the first stanza ore rotundo.
and when he came to the chorus he
threw his head back and yelled at the
top Of his voice: "a :.
She's my sweetheart; I'm her beau;
She's my Annie; I'm her 10. ~,
Soon wen marry, never to part,
a. Little Annie Rooney Is my sweetheart. =
One old man who was flung against
the. singer by the hurrying crowd looked,
at him In an annoyed way and moved
on, and a hot tomale man who had
come to the corner for his nights work
viewed the young fellow critically an
instant and then began his monotonous
cry. s.&.-s'-. .',@c..-z.
