Out and oat infidelity, after hanireds of years of bombardment, in- stead of demolishing, has only driv- en ilie Bible further into the affections of tlie world. ._. The chief danger is frjm the mistal^eu friends of the Bible. Uubtii'icf and^siepticism are not logi- cal. But yon have taken mon as they air. The revisionists begin their work by saving there are in the New Testament ten thousand mifitakes, and that there are one hundred and -v£/ty thousitu'l varieties of readmg to the New Testament. The devil fakep those statistics, which you can man- age without damage to yourself, and he niiiliss theDL^l^e evcrlastius ruin of n great uiiltttude. This movement wi!) turn morcsonls into stark infidel- ity than the tlmty-cight gcutlemcn it the Nf.v/ TcstamcntCompany will ev- er argue unt of it, though they should livo the eight hundred and nmety-fiye yeitrh of Mahalalccl, the nine hundred uii'i sixty-two years of Jared, and the I resurrection iiiiK; hnndi'ed and sixty-uiuo years of Metliusaleh ag|(rc^ated. The grefltcpt work of the last two hnitdrcd years has been to have the people nnderstand tli^t this was the Word of God" the truth, the wliole trii*'., and nothing but the trutli. And now you say thero are only 10,- (Xtf) mistakes in it, and only about 13."), 000 readings; 40 changes ♦o be made in Dn Sermon on llie Mount. V')u Hay tliey arc not radical mist.ikes. Wliy, then, all this excitement of the iHibliy mind Lnok out lest while with torches yon are hunting for tata ill the cellar, you do not set in coufia- grattou the anguat timple.

"Good Lord deliver tus!" These discoverers of 10,000 mistakes, and the 185,000 different rcaliugs have actually got hold of the music of the angels over Bethlehem. If those angels liad known that they were within hearing distance of the New 'J'estainent Company, they would not have sung so loUtV. Instead of the translation which says, "On rarth peace, good will toward men," it is to read "on earth peace auiong men in whom He is well pleased," The rythm gone, the sweep of meaning gone, the Christmas carol choked till it ia black in the face. I wonder if tbe brethren will not go on, now they haye lueir hand in, and give us a new revision of Handel's "Messiali," and Haydn's 'Creation," and cbisel out a few improvements on Powers' Greek Slave, and touch np Angelo's "Last Judgment," and improve the sunrise and the snnset, aad show as the aorist of the spring blossoming of last year, a^d let US have nniver^al revision.

I also advise all private Christians all np and down the earth, and teachers of Sunday- schools, parents and all minirters of tbe gospel wbo have uuterrified utterance, to be quick and vehement in their protest against this scholarly profanation. Speak out now or forever hold yoor peace. I pray God that thii excitement abont the new revision may wake us all up to a higher appreciation of that great monarch of books before which the Iliads and the Odysseys and the Korans and the Vedas and the Shas- tcrs and the Zend-Avestas and the national libraries of earth must kneel.

They were greatly injured however by the recent frost, especially that which was on low and new laud. Yet there is nothing to prevent all from looking forward to an abundant harvest. At Badjehos Cobnebs â€" Businesss is booming. Mr. McQuame'a, steam saw mill is kept in constant operation by the clever and energetic foreman, Alexander McDougall. They were BO very bnssy last week that they thought no time could be lost by go- ing to Collingwood to soe the circus. But when it was known that the school children were to have an hoili- day, and that some person was to be absent from the old store, work was suspended for the space of at least 24 hours. The Episcopal Methodist are build- ing a new church 88x26, veneered with brick. The members of the Pres* bytcrian church are rendering cons- iderable assistance, particularly the merchants. At McInttbb â€" Neil McLean is erec- ting a large buildm? abont 60x80, in connection with his hotel. The low- er part of the structure is to de used as a driving shed, and the upper part as a hall for public gatherings. Mr. McLean deserves great credit for the manner in which bis house is con- ducted. He spares no pains in render- mn every thing as comfortable as pos- sible for the travellers, and exercises great care in the sale of spirits there- fore very few are to be seen about his place in a state of intoxication. At SiNOBAifFTON â€" Messrs Grant A Son, have almost completed their stove factory. The engine is on the ground, and they expect to be in full operation in a few weeks. Wide- A- Wake. Vhen Mr. Kells took the Town-hip in band some yaara aino*. Would it not be advisable for the Council to seek bis advice m eettUng their quarrel. I have noticed that his presence on Council days always had a T«ry bene- ficial effect. Jtatepayer saysâ€" "Oh, no, his mo- tiye is transparent â€" ^bad" Sir, 1 have po motive further than the duty I owe to the placellive in, and should t ever be a doonoiUor, I will gain my election in a very different manner from those who at present circle round th? Conhiil Board; walking round with a stick Uto and early, shaking hands to tbe elbow, and "How is your wife T' and "bow are you f" and kiss- ing slobbering babies, and "who are you going to vote for on Monday " No, sir, it is far beneath my dignity. In regard to my gloves, I intend to wear what I please, and if I see fit to buy a horse I can pay for it, ai:d if I give a note for it my paper will not be at a discount. Can Batepayer say as much Nay; more, I have never been a beaten Councillor. In regard to the silly chattering, I am tired liatening to the Sparrow with his min* ttt. It the gentleman had lest his horse in tbe sw^tU, the law wonld soon have shown Ratepayer who had to keep the roads in repair, with not a little expense. The best man in the Council was shamefully treated, and kept out of the Coaoty Council because he stood up for his rigbte. Batepayer says the Council have never been apprized of the state of the roads. If a commercial man takes a salary from a firm, does a member of go round with him and show -n|wliere to sell Tbe people have the.t bttsines to attend to instead of run ing after the Council and begging th m to do their duty. 1 a eoayer can see that the side- walks are in a fearful stete and ex- tremely unsafe for the aged to walk on. A stranger strolling round our vil- lage in the evening would frequently njeet with unpleasant shocks by stumb- ling over the broken planks, and final- ly come to the conclusion that tie said sidewalks Selonged to some wid- ow woman. Notwithstanding all this there mutt be no money expended â€" "there is a dispute." Rather take the risk of a broken leg, rr n team lost in a broken britlge, or anything else. Shame on such narrow-mindedness. At a meeting held a short time since, to take into consideration the repair- ing of the roads to the station the Reeve would only promise $150, with- out calling a meeting of the ratepayers. One of our enter- prising merchants got up and said if that was the best he could do for a road of such importance, we might as well all go home. The old adage will apply lu this case, "lose the sheep, because they have to pay a farthing for tar." If I hear from Ratepayer again I would advise him that he avoid per- sonalities and nlander, and discuss the question as a public one, or I will find out who he is.

To the Editor of th* Sjajhumd. I am desirous of saying a word in regard to old maids, if you will allow me space in your Talnable paper. I am an old maid of nineteen. I left school two years ago, and in that short time men's vulgarity basso disgusted me, that I have determined to live the life of an old maid. Being able to support myself and having a vsay co mfor ta b le home, I have Jbaen the recipient of fifty- seven letters from men Who wish to be supported. That goee to show why old maids an so numerous. Some ^lara cteristios at an old maid are neatoess, iiiiiah is ocoaaal in a man, andadaairato die y/\en doctors disagree who shall decide. The people often decide by "throwing physic to the dogs,' and trying BURDOCK BLOOD BIT- TERS, and the result is alirays satisfactory. Burdock Blood Bitters is the Multum in I'arvo of medical •cktBce, curing all diseases of the Blood, Liver and Kidneys. A trial bottle only costs 10 cents. A dollar botle may save you a good many del lars in doctor's bills. HUBBAH FOB THE VOLUN- TBEB8.
