Strange Bible Facts.

The learned Prince of Granada, heir to
the Spanish throne, imprisoned by order
of the Crown, for fear he should aspire
to the throne, was kept in solitary con-
finement in the old prison at the Place
of Skulls, Madrid. After thirty three
years in this living tomb, death came to
his release, and the following remarkable
researches taken from the Bible, and
marked with an old nail on the rough
walls of his cell, told how the brain
sought employment through the weary
years.
In the Bible the word Lord is found
1858 times; the word Jehovah $500
times, and the word Reverend but once,
aud that in the 9th verse of the CxIth
Psalm. The Sth verse of the CxvIIth
Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible.
The 9th verse Of the With chapter of
Ester is the longest verse, 35th verse,
XIth chapter of st. John is the the
shortest. In the CvIIth Psalm four
verses are alike, the Sth, 18th, 2lst aud
3lst. Each verse of the CXxxvIth Psalm
ends alike. No names or words with more
than six syllables are found in Bible. The
xxxvIIth chapter of Isaiah and xIxth
chapter of End Kings are alike. The
word Girl occurs but once In the Bible,
and that in the 3rd verse and lid chap
ter of JOEL There are found in both
books of the Bible 1856, 4S3 letters,
"a, 693 words, 81 1873 verses, l ,lS9 chap
tiers and &C books. The xXvItb chapter
of the Acts of the Apostles is the finest
chapter to read. The most beautiful
chapter in the Bible is the xxIIId Psalm.
The four most inspiring promises are
John XVIII chapter and End verse, John
vi chapter and 37th verse, St. Matthew
xIth chapter and 18th verse, and xxxvu
tn Psalm, 4th verse. The 1st verse of
the Ixth chapter of Isaiah is the one for
the new convert. All who flatter them
selves with vain boastings of their per-
fectness should learn the With chapter of
Matthew. All humanity should learn
the With chapter of St. Luke, from the
Goth verse to its ending.
