. The LESSON FROM THE EPIsTLE TO PHILE-
MoN.-The lesson of all others from this Episte
is, that we should carry into the concerns of
private life the courtesy and the Christian spirit
here shown by the Apostle that we should talk
to one another, argue with one another, write
letters to one another, not as men of the world,
but as disciples of Christ not as Pliny, but as
St. Paul; remembering whose we are, and
whom we serve and that our religion is to be a
light shining before men to show forth the
glory of Him who hath redeemed US by Christ.

agreed upon the match the bride is examined
by number of women to see if she has any
bodily defect. On her wedding dav she is
crowned with a garland of wormwood, to
denote the bitterness of the mar
RED state. She is exhorted to be obedient to
her husband, and it is a custom in some dis
trlets for the newl y married wife to present
the bridegroom with whip, in token of sub
MISSION. and with this lie seldom fails to
show his authority. In that cold and cruel
country, husbands are sometimes known to
torture their wives to death, without any
punishment for the murder If a woman
proves barren, the husband generally pre-
walls on her to retire into convent and
leave him at liberty. If he fails in persua-
sion, he is permitted to whip her into ODE

PRINTING AMONG THE EoMANs.-Disraeli
believes, and brings up a mass of evidence to
sustain him, that the art of printing was
known to the Romans, but that they rejected
1t as unsuited to their civilization, and that
the Emperors were bitterly opposed to it, as
in it they recognized powerful enemy to
their tyranny. They did, however, make
use of it on small scale. The Emperor
Justinian had a stamp on which was en-.
graved or carved the letters of his name, and
he made constant use of this for signing
documents. Theodore did the same. The
memorable letters with which the Roman
potters stamped their wares were similar to
those used by book, binders of the present
day for lettering. etc. The Romans were
also perfectly familiar with printing ink, and
their refusal to make use of the printing
press must be attributed either to the oppo.
stion of the Emperors or the popular belief
that it was not suited to such high civiliza-
