Should Ministers be Hanged?

The Bible Society Reporter tells
an amusing story illustrating
the difficulty of printing transla-
of the Bible. In a distant island,
copies Of the New Testament had
for the first time been placed in
the hands Of the, natives.
One day the missionary i'll his
private reading made the awful
discovery that the passage, 1T
is required Of ministers that they
be found faithful" had been rem
dered in vernacular, Tits requir-
ed OF ministers that they befaith-
fully hanged" IAN ''e" for an
"a" in the rendering Of the local
word for found" had made all
the difference.
Theerror was happily corrected
before any effort had been made
to reduce this precept to practice

CHAPTER XII.
IN LOUISIANA.

The ever-changing scenes Of the
great river interested me, and I could
have studied for days the varying
phases of human nature about me; but
as current and stream bore us rapidly
down, the object of my journey pressed
upon my thoughts, and it was with
eager alacrity that I stepped ashore at
Donaldsonville, at the head of Bayou
La Fourche. With a few others and
with my small luggage I was trans
ferred to a small steamer, and the last
few miles of my journey we followed
the course of the bayou.
For the first time was in that land
of wonders, lower Louisiana. 1 was
floating on one Of the multitude of
streams, which, more than one hun
dred miles above the Delta of the
Mississippi, help to carry off the great
pressure of waters to the gulf. Other
rivers receive tributaries to swell their
flood; as the mighty Father of Waters
approaches salt water he is compelled
to send off other rivers to relieve him
SELF I was in a region entirely allu-
vial, a land doubtless manufactured,
as might be said, by the continual de-
posit of soil brought down by the tire
less water giant and thrust out into
the gulf. AS the poet Longfellow
finely says of this strange phenom-
enon, he
"Seizes the hills in his hands and drags them
down to the ocean,
was in that region which is actu-
ally at most seasons below the level of
the streams, where great levees or
banks are built upon each side to con-
fine the water to it's own bed. Upon
the summit of these levees, high above
our heads as we steamed along, we saw
negro men and women walking, carry
ing immense bundles and even jars
full of water upon the bare crown, with
out touch of the hand. At times the
bends of the bayou enabled us to look
beyond the levees over a section of the
country and see vast plantations green
with the miniature forests of the
sugar-cane. It is here, in this rich,
black soil, that the most prolific sugar
country in North America is found. The
population was almost evenly divided
between white and blacl;s the larger
part of the former was Of French de-
scent; the French language was much
spoken, and French names of persons
and places were the most common.
10 me this was all new and strange.
