For this or some other ro ascn the oxen with tliis precious chest made some sudden start and the box rocked, and Uzsah, the driTer, put his hand upon it. He had no business to toiteh it under any circnmstanoes. Under the judr,mcnt of God this driver drops dead by the cart wheel. We Lave a taerett ehnt, an ark of ilie covenant, the Bible. Liikethe ark of old it Contains the diyine covenant aud thomatua for poor wildemesaed pilgrims, and Uie rod of trouble that has budded into fragrant consolation, .-and over it the mercy seat.

Wrongly to touch t!:at omnipotent box â€" which is our ark of tbe covenant â€" is to die. We are in tht mi^lst of A OBEAT AGITATION consequent ^om the new revision of the Scriptures. We bad a translation two hundred and seventy years old, embosomed in the warmest affections of all the good of earth, interlocked with the best secular literature, and pronounced ,by Weister and the Washinsjton'Irvii.j.^8 as the master- piece of English pr-f* the transla- tion at work blessin.^ and revolution- iring the nation" for good, aud all Christendom satistje,! vrith the trans- lation, except a few duttjiS of divinity. But two companies, an Old Testament Company and a New Testament Com- pany, have been busy for ten years changing the book, and a few days ago the New Testament Ooiapany launched the results of their labors upon the world. After great univer- sal advertisement of tte intended book and the dramatic withholding of the book till a certain da^, and then with- holding it till a still further day tbe work comes forth. The Enghsh print- ing press keeps a tight grip on the copyright, and when oar American publiKhiug houses offered a large sum for repro'?ncing tbe book simultane- ously, the £nglisli presses rejected the offer in cavalier and abrupt style. Two million copies are sold in two days. What a compliment to the Scriptures t Yes, but be not deceived. Did the two million people suddenly become passionately fond oMflhptare reading? No. These two million Bibles went into honses where the Bible was already enthroned. All those of us who honored the book wanted to know what these men had been doing for ten years with our fav- orite book. Had we a statue in New fork City Hall Park that had been tha pride of the nation since ilsfban. dation, and ecalpiored aad l^led at vast axpenae, and thirty-eight men tat ten years had been bosy Under eover, changing tiiat statne, on the morning the cover dropped and the changes afaoold be revealed, there woold be no room in the streets or scares approxi- mate tobddthe ^eetators.

That last sentiment will come up like being transferred ou a cart drawn byj the surges of the Atlantic after a same thiug." I'heK a*» niaoy who Woolsey.

I am willing to talzo it as a commentary, and to staud i' rei^pect- fully on my bookshelf beside other human opinions of the word of God. But o put it upon my private study or in my family room or on my pulpit, as a pubstitute for King James' trans- lation, I never will. I put my band 00 the cM book and take the oath of allegiance. So help me God I am glad to know that Lord Shaftesbury and the Archbishnp of York, and many other strong men on the other B^* J°^ JikSa^SifwW jpt^i^a^Mnoniata. But supported by high authority or no out iprity, I here and now take iny stand. â-  These fifty men for ten years bu.sy in tinkrrinij the New Tettavxeiit agree in the statement that they find no new doctrine. Differing ou many other things they all agree here. If it had been found that the old translation was teaching any fahe ideas of God or the soul or eternity, I would say, by all means give us a new revision and put forth immediate and mightiest effort for the organized obUteration of the old translation. Th6 world can- not afford to liaye wrong notions of God and the soul and eternity. But the nev version keep* all tlu old dortritu*. Then what c;oia reason could there be for this disturbance ol sacred associa- tion, this loosening of the faith of Christendom. I. It is too late to recorutrurt the Bible When King James' translation was made the Bibla was a sparsely cir- culated book, and the changes made caused no perturbatipn. But this re- vision of 1881 is a depreciation of 800 million copies of the Bible out in the world and doiug their work. It as- sails tlie magnificent liturgy of the Epi3e^al Church and makes all her prayer bodts vtst inaccuracies. It makea the inscriptions on the graves of your dead imtrue. It reflects on the old fomily Bible, and to the unin- itiated leaves nothing about it certain save the record of marriages and births and deaths. If this new revision succeed, for (he next few years you will haye to watch your children's evening offering of the Lord's prayer and jerk them up short before they run over the "evil one" into an uninspired doxology. It is an out and out war against all the religions literature of the age. Away with yoar Cmden's and Brown's eoncordanoes. Your Bible diction- aries wrong. Matthew Henry's com- mentary wrong, Kitto's readings wrong, Zahn's archaeology wrong. All yoor religious books wrong.. In mat- ters of religious aconraoy it means chaos and old night Who nndertook'thia impertinence on tbe other side of tine sea I know not the qnalifioatioof of the archbish- ops and aiahdeaoons iand pvofessocs who have d«Mia the weirk cm the otiier sidr of the Atlautie. I understand that many of them are far finm baing the test sobolaES of Onat Bntaia. I know that men with Kreat titieaara often tttanetaat aeeidents ao4 tbev high ofllee no sign of sehtdardlip. B.

To come down to the mechaniccU arr^fng$^ memt of tliis new yersion, I vehemently reject the mode of putting the Scrip- tnro in columns like a solid newspaper colanm instead of the division of ver- ses as in our present translation. It is the charm of our old book that a business man or a wife overborne with household cares, or aa invalid with no power o consecutive thought, can take up a yerse and carry it all day. I open a page of this new version and I find a paragraph a column and a half long. By this new translation one will be tempted to think "I can't take Uie whole page, so I will take no- thing." That shortest verse in the Bible, an ocean of 83rmpathy comprcs- red in two words â€" Jesus wept â€" is set iu a solid paragrauh of one column aud a hall. You oan find it if ycu look long enough for it but it needs to stand out isolated and alone in its grandeur, and teudcruoss.and pathos, and omnipotence of meauia?. Another mechanical misfortune is the dropping of the headings ol the chapters. It is an impoi-tant part of the old transla- tion. We all want to know what the chapter is about before we begin to read it. III. I reject the new yersion for ITS AJfAZINO TEIVIALITr. You have more control over your sense of the ridiculous than I have if you can read without a smile some of the cha^iges made or proposed. You remember Christ's sermon where He speaks of the inaptitado of putting iiew wine into old bottles. In oui- re vision of 1881 it is rendered "No man putteth new wine mto old wine ileitis, else the skins burst and the wine is spUled and the skins perish. But they put new wine into fresh wite skins." The change is eyidently made to show that the bottles of ol Jen time were made out of the skins of ani mals, but is it not just as easy to ex- plain the bottles to tho people as to explain the wine-skios "Show me a penny," said Christ wishing from the kingly stamp on it to illustrate its earthly currency. That will not do, say the American revisionists. In- stead of "Show me a nenny," "shou; me a denariut." The revision changes the "boasts'" of Revelation into "liv- ing creatures." But will you not have to explain the living creatures as well as the beasts. The old translation was too mucli for the delicacy of the American part of the New Testament Company. Where it says of Simon Peter "he girt his coat about him for he was naked," tbe American Com- mittee suggests that it should read in the mart;in "had on his undergarment only." The old translation said "Neitiier do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candle- stick." The revisers reject "candle- stick" for "stand." The new revision makes other changes of how little importance judge ye when it says that the old transla- tion which reads "into a mountain" ought to be "into the moantaia;" where the old translation says "into a ship" it ougl t to be "the ship," and instead of "a teacher in Israel" it ought to be "the teacher," iustead of "a good fight" it ought to bo "fA« g9od fight," and instead of "a crown of righteousness," it ou^it to be 'the crown of righteous- ness," and instead of "a bushel" "the buahel," aud iustead of "covered with waves" it ought to read "becoming eoveiid." aad instead of "nets break" it od^t to read "were beeaking," and instead of "straining at a gnat." it oagfat to be "f training «tit a gnat " and other mfiuitaniuMls of «lifference with which I ahall nut worry your patience.

Btffalo, June 14.â€" Mrs. Lavidia MoCockrell, in a moment of remorse, occasioned hy meditation on the fast life which she had recently begun to lead, attempted to commit suicide last night. According to a statement which she made it appears that some years ago she led a very fast life at Orangeville, Ont. MoCockrell became fascinateil with her and they were married. The couple removed to Bx*adford, where they IWed happily until Mrs. McOockrell diseoy;ired, as she says, that her husband was un- faithful to her. Ill a fit of despair she resolve! to resume her life of shame, and tliree weeks ago came to Bufiiilo to carry out her resolutioo, ' entering one of the lowest dcus on Canal street. She woman took a teaspoonful of mor- phine, but prompt medical assistence saved her life. She is about 80 yea's of age and is the mother of. two chil- dren, who are with their father at Bradford. A FRENCH HEROINE One of the celebrities of the Paris market is a woman who keeps a ve- getable stall and who wears the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor. This woman, Annette Drevon by name, was formerly cautiniere to the Thirty- st^cond Regiment of Infantry aud to the Second Regiment of Zouavec, which she accompauied through the campaigns of Africa aud Italy and during the war with Germany. Of the seven or ei'ht female members of the Legion of Honor she is the only one who received the distinction for an act of valor upon the fiel J of battle; aud she was decorated after the bat- tel of MagCL ta for rescuing the regi- mental colors from two Australian soldiers who had captured them. Dur- ing the war with Germany she was with the Forty second Regiment in Metz, and upou the surrender oi that fortress she was sent off to Germany with the survivors. Just outside of Metz a Bavarian soldier insulted her, and she pulled out her revolver and shot him through the heart. For this she was condemned to death, and would have been shot but for the intervention of Prince Frederick Char- les, who hearing that a woman was to be executed, made ioqniries into the case, the result^eing that Annette Dievon was set at Ubbrty. She hved in great poverty for some time, but Marshal MacMahon happening to hear about her gave her a sum of money sufiizieut to enable her to set up the stall at which bhe now sells carrots, turnips, and other aids to di- gestion. Bowie t^ha that it "Tbao." sboatad the as he squared off. "i tLiuk yon a d d rascal aud I'm goiug to whip yoa right here and aow." Bowie was a man of few words. He stood sad gased at his advaraaty, who was mors emboldened tuam aver. "I think you're a d d oowato," ha yelled, "and I'm going to ksoel^ your head off," and so saying the, "Memphis Teitor" adtauced to tha eonfliot. Bowie never flinobad. His keaa eye was fixed on the "Terror," wbo at this moment was face to face with. him. Bat as the man ot Memphia drew a dirk from bis br«aat, Buwia stepped back a foot aud thrust out bis umbrella as if to keep lus autagouist at bay. The "Memphis Tsrror." seised the umbrella with one hand, made a pass at tbe inventor of the fimous knife with tbe other. In doing so he p«Um1 the umbrella to himself, loaving fiee in the right hand of Bowie his mur- darouB Weapon, which till this mo- ment had le3a concealed in the folds of the impromptu sheath. Tho sight of Bowie standing tliere, wiUi the knife iu his hand and the gleam of vengeance in his eyes, was too much for the "Terror." From the Bonncing bully be be- came transformed into a craven eowar J iu a second. His fac4 turned pale aud his kuees trembled, while the dirk dropped from his hands as he gased ou Bowie'a weapon with staring eye?. '-Put it up put away that scythe, for God's sake, Bowie, I was mistaken in my man." Bowie advanced a step. "Don't â€" don't kill me I" beseeched tbe bully "for God's sake, don't go for me with that scythe and I swear to you I'll neyw attack another man as long as I live." Bowie looked at his now thoronghly dcmorahzed opponent for a moment, and tiien turning on his heel with the expression "Coward " walked rap- idly away. Thenceforth the "Mem- phis Terror " was a changed man, and until the day of his death he never lost the sobriquet of "Put np that scythe." Bowie was very fond of music and dancmg, aud on occasions where he would enjoy both he invariably ap- peared iu the best of humor, aud tha reserve which had begun to charac- terize him at this time appeared to thaw out. It was on one occasion at a dance, when he was in such favor- able conditions, that 1 had an oppor tunity ot a free and easy chat with him about some of the encounters in which he had been engaged. Re- ferring to the disparity in size betweeu himself and some of the men whom he had met in cjudict I asked him how he regarded his chances under such circumstoucca' "Suppose," said I, referring^ to a man of herculean build, who stood near, "sappose yoa were attacked by such a mau as Hob Jbhuson there. What tlien " "Oh," dryly responded Bowie, "I would cut him down to my size 1" WHAT THE BASHFUL CLERK .::â-  WANTED Iron ih OxFOBb Cooktt. â€" A cor- respondent of the Btautford Telegram writes "No Uttle excitement prevails in this section over the fact that a large bf'd of iron ore has been dis- covered on the farm of ftelson Muma, one mile south of Drumbo.
