At all event.-, you are mine precious birdie, in spite of all the uncles in (’hristendoin.” “Yes, (’ll.itlie, but then it would be dreadful to have my uncle oppose our love. lie was my mother’s only broth er, and is all the parent I have now.” she sai*l sadly. “Ilesides, he lias been so good to me all these Jtars I have been an orphan, sending me to the be*t s hools and getting me every thing I wanted.— Hut, Charlie, I do believe he thinks I am a little girl yet. lie always calls me didd or pussy, and brings me home a paper of candy most every day. It docs mortify me so,” and the little rose lips pouted. “1 should think he ought to know I was seventeen years old last No , vember.” Charlie smiled at the little lady’s half indignant expression, and told her not to mind it, “it was very natural in the kind-hearted old gentleman,” and then the two set vigorously to work, planning a campaign by which they should secure a sanction to their engagement, which had been already of five months stand ing. Charles was a young man with good business prospects, quite able to i sup|K>rta wife in very comfortable style, and with bis industrious, steady habits, bade fair to become an honored and pro sperous citizen. Indeed, he seemed in every respect the man that cartful, pru dent “I ncle Enos” would be pleased with, as he was already well known to him in business matters. So it was all decided that next day, 1 after dinner, a time w hen most of men are usually in a good humor w ith them selves and the world at large, Charles should boldly call on the dreaded uncle in his own den fa library, and honestly open up the weighty matter ; make full confession of his love for his pretty niece, and wind op w ith asking the trilling fa vor of her hand in marriage. The mode of operating was pondered on very seri ously by the young mail, f.r the next twenty-four hours, and an abundance of schemes contrived and then abandoned, until at least, perplexed and half vexed with hisowii stupidity, when such a treas ure was at stake, he resolved to throw overboard all bis fine rhetoric and tell the plain unvarnished talc in thesimplest and most straight-forward manner. Per haps we may learn the success of his ap plication by attending a little family meeting between the uncle and niece on the evening of the next day. “So, Miss Fanny, you have been en couraging this young chap to come and ask me to give you away in marriage ? A precious couple of chickens, ’pou my word!” Poor Fanny could hardly see that an answer was expected to this flattering remark, so she only looked down and folded away very diligently at her crum pled cambric handkerchief. 4 So the young man thinks it would be a very fine pian to take possession of some of Uncle Enos’ loose change, and ma> be anticipates doing him the honor of going into partnership with him ; eh, Fanny (” “Not any such thing, sir,” said the lit tle beauty, reddening indignantly; Char lie does not expect or wish a dowry with me. All we ask is your approvaland the bright eyes looked down again on the tiny plaits laid in the handkerchief. “My approval of your jumping off the dock into the East river ! that would be just about as sensible. Father more so, I should say, than for that precious young gentleman to ruin his prospects for life bv setting up housekeeping with a little *chool buss, who cannot even make a biscuit. W hat earthly thing do you know, pussy, about keeping house ? \ou would ruin Master Charles in one year.” ‘ If l am so very extravagant, undo. I should think you would be glad to have me off your hands.” “There, now, you know I did not mean any such tiling, lou do not ak me tor i haif the things 1 wtah you would; l T u* cle Enos isn’t stingy to you, that you know'. 1 Jut you don’t have to take tare of my house, and I am afraid it would be a funny nest if you did. Now, my child, I am going to prepare a test of this mighty strong affection you are supposed to have. If you will go to work and learn how to cook a good din ner tbr me and six of my friends, every thing put on the table to be of your own manufacture, then I will give myconsent, but not before. You may takea month or a year to do it ill, just as you like.” “Why, Uncle Enos, it is the most un reasonable thing in the world ! Charles can ass rd t keep a co.>k always, and I need not plague myself about such things. He would never wish me to cook a din ner.” “Yes, Fanny, but you may have it to do more than once in your life, for all that. You have to change cooks some times, and a week may pass before you can find anew one. What w ill you do iu the meantime ? not fast I hope. lie sides, if you knew nothing about cook ing, your llridget may leed half her le latious fiona your storeroom, and no body the wiser.” “My hands will get as brown as the table,” said Fanny, glancing down at her lilly lingers. ‘‘Charles will love them just as well, if he loves them at all, and better too, because you make the sacrifice on his ac count.” “Well, uncle, it is no use to talk ; I cannot make the dinner, 1 know. The bread, and dessert, and everything.— Now if it was just for you, alone, I would try.” “You want me to mitigate the sentence but I can’t a jot I won’t seen fine young fellow like Charles, have his prospects for life ruined by a foolish marriage. If I give my little adopted daughter away to anybody, she shall be a gift worth having. Now, think of it over night, and say all the hard things you please about your cruel uncle, and then we will have the decision.” Little Fanny sought her room with a perplexed face and half-vexed temper; but, though she thought it a very silly w him of u a notional old uncle, still her brave, loving heart at last conquered ; and next morning, site appeared in a simple calico moruin; dress and long apron, with a shy, smiling face, ready to take her first lesson of the old housekeep er. She had an easy lesson at first; but at evening the beautiful tea biscuits on the table, all her own manufacture ; and so elated was she with her success, that she forgot the two ugly bums she had got from the wicked old range, which should have more regard for such dainty j l.ttle fingers. “Good enough for a king,” said Un de Enos, as he helped himself to the sixth bisrnit “You will make the fi nest housekeeper in the Union. 1 guess, after all that 1 shall keep you for my lit- | tie cook. I will give you seven dollars j a month, ami put anew carpet on the kitchen in the bargain,” said he looking up mischievously. “No, thank you, Mr. Uncle, I am working for better wages than that. I will, perhaps, invite you to dine with me once a year or so, in tny splendid mansion.” “Ton are very condescending, pussy ; I expect to come and take up my quar ters with you altogether ; so lay in a good stock of lmifiiu rings and easy arm chairs.” 1 “No, sir, you are a great deal too hard hearted. Now 1 just remember my burnt fingers. Look at that Uncle Enos, and see if you will not relent. If not, I expect I will pack up and elope by to morrow, taking the eastern train and go- , ing to Boston before you get a chance to look around.” “Poor little niece,” said Enos, looking at the fingers. ‘I am really sorry, but you wdl learn to take care in time. — j Gome to the study, and I will put some thing on them that will make them well in a day.’ Fanny persevered day after day, working systematically ; she found the mountain gradually dwindling to the mole hill, and, with such a strong incen live to labor, she succeeded far beyond her expoetatio-.s, or those of her uncle. In a marvelously short time, she was pronounced, by the experienced hoitse keeptr, to be mistress of the art, and on ly required practice to perfect her ae complishments. She had enjoyed the work for its novelty, and, as she could leave it or take it up when she chose, she took good care not to exert herself. Charles listened with much amuse ment to her accounts of her daily proi gress, and said he “would like to make out a bill of fare for l ode Enos’ dinner | party ; they should h ive only boiled po- 1 tatoes and turnips, and salt on them. ’ ! But he loved the dear girl, who was wil ling to do so much for him all the better for her brown hands ; and the rosy cheeks grew brighter every day. The exercise was a vast benefit to Fanny, and so she ! ever regarded it in after years. At length tho important dinner came off, and the success was complete. The roast ducks were “done to a turn,” seal loped oysters and vegetables most deli cately prepared. The jellies and pickles ’ were properly placed in the opposite ‘corners; the boiled turkey was accom panied by boiled tongue, and everything else in perfect order. The dessert was delicious, and the whole was as complete as the most famous French Cook could have served up. Uncle Eno9 was much gratified to give his pretty niece a diplo ma, which he did that very evening, with a handsome marriage settlement of a thousand a year in the bargain. The wedding was a brilliant one, and it somehow became whispered around among a select few that the exquisite cake w hich every one was praising was made by the fair fingers of the beautiful bride herself. The graceful mistress of a lovely, tasteful home, just without the noise and dust of the great city, never regrets that her “uncle’s whim” made her an experi enced housekeeper, and placed her be yond dependence on changing and worth less seivants. If her cook takes on airs, it is no inconvenience to her household to have her at once discharged, and she can afftrd to wait until she finds another to suit her, an independence which would relieve hundreds of fashionable women from constant worry and anxiety. It would be a blessing to society it there were more Uncle Erioses in the world, who would insist on nieces, wards and daughters learning how to work before they set up a household of their owu. Tli<‘ 84-arc li aller lfu|>;iite^. A maiden tripped lightly along the flowery path of the fairy forests, and found herself on the brink of a ehrystal fountain. Lingering there, she suw r bending towards her a delicate white lil ly, the fi.iry queen of the fountain, and she bowed her head in reverence. Then raising it, she dashed back her raven locks, and was about to lay a humble petition before the queen. The fairy checked her, saying : “Madam, I know your thought, and anticipate what you would ask;” and slm held up before the maiden two rich ly-jewelled caskets; one bearing, in dia mond letters, the word “Iliches,” the other, traced iu rubies and emeralds, “Beauty.” “Give me,” exclaimed the maiden, “give me riches. They must surely se cure me happiness!” “Thou hast thy wish !” said the fairy of the forest, and handed her the dia mond lettered casket. But soon the maiden discovered she had not found the boon her heart desir ed. “Oh !” thought she, ‘had 1 but eho sen beauty ! That would have brought me the happiness which riches never cun !’ And again she sought the chrys tal fountain in the forest, aud once more found herself in the presence of the fairy queen, attended by her train. Her throne was in the form of a violet, and carved out of the purest sapphire ever seen. Throwing herself at its foot, the maiden said: ‘Fairest of the fair ! Once more lis ten to thy humble suppliant, and give her, oh ! give her beauty. Thou hast given me riches, but they could not sat isfy the longings of my soul ?’ ‘Enough, maiden ! Thou hast thy wish; yet remember that but once more wilt thou be permitted even to visit this place. But once more, j emember !’ So saying the queen and all of her train departed, lea\ing w ith the maiden the ruby and emerald casket of beauty. And again she thought she had secured the precious boon she sought. Alas ! how was she deceived ! There was some thing wanting yet. Again site sought the flowery margin of the fountain, and once more and for the last time invoked the aid of the fairy monarch. ‘Thou, O queen !’ said she, ‘hast been kind, and hast granted me all 1 wished, and for this I thank thee. Gratify me iu but one wish more, and 1 will be con tent.’ ‘What do you seek fair maiden V said the queen. ‘Happiness? pure,unalloyed, and last ing happiness ! responded she. ‘lt is not in my power to give thee what thou askest, poor child !’ gently said the fairy. ‘But I can point out to the road which leads to what thou seek est. It is by treading in the path of vir tue, that thou canst reach it. If thy way be along that path, thou canst not fail to reach happiness, whether thy dwelling place be in princely halls, or in a low ly cottage.’ C;i|>t;iin Slireve amt General Jackson. A correspondent communicates the follow ing characteristic anecdote of Gen eral Jackson to the Cleveland (Ohio) Review : During the last war with England, Captain Shreve was commander and owner of a vessel which plied the “Father of Waters, and which, during the period General Jackson had New Orleans under martial law, made its ap pearance at the levee of that city. Gen eral Jackson being apprised of the arri- i val of the vessel, at once sent for Cap tain Shreve, announced to him tint he should consider himself, his crew and vessel, as in the service of government, and hold himself in readiness to discharge any duty that might be imposed upon him. Captain Shreve unhesitatingly accepted the conditions thus stated to him and obtained permission from Gen eral Jackson to make some necessary repairs lo his vessel, before being com pelled to do active service. While these repairs were in progress, and the appearance of the British army was daily expected before the city, a number of citizens applied to Capt. Shreve, requesting him to carrv their families some fifty miles up the river to a place of safety. The captain explain ed to the applicants his situation, and the orders he was under, but. assured them that if they could obtain Gen. ! Jackson’s consent, he would himself interpose no objections to their request. A deputation of the citizens then applied to Gen. Jackson and obtained his con sent, anJ Capt. Shreve had freighted his vessel with the persons of many la dies and children and also a consider able quantity of very valuable goods, when lie received a message from Gen. Jackson ordering him to perform some service which would compel himatonce to discharge his living freight, and com pletely disarrange his plans. Capt. Shreve bluntly told the officer who had brought the message that he would not obey the order. The officer warmly expostulated,; with Shreve, and held up to him, in glow ing colors, the terrors of Jackson’s displeasure ; but Capt. Shreve was built of quite as unbending metal as Gen. Jackson, and indignantly refused to do the bidding. The officer returned to the “Old Chief” and detailed to him the circum stances of (’aptain Shreve’s refusal. In a towering passion, the general ordered a file of men to arrest Shreve and bring him at once into his presence. But comparatively little time had elapsed before the enraged captain stood in the presence of the equally ui raged general. The latter, fiercely eye ing Captain Shreve, in a voice husky with intense passion, made the inquiry : “By G—d, Captain Shreve, dure you disobey my orders ! ’ “Yes, by G—d. I dure /” was the vehement and impetuous reply of the undaunted captain. Jackson could not repress the ex pression of surprise which spread itself over his face at the unexpected and em phatic reply of the daring captain, and in a tone of voice considerably milder than It's first inquiry, bade Shreve ex plain his conduct. Upon the explana tion being given, Jackson dismissed him, simply saying that he had forgotten his promise to the citizens whose wives and children Capt. Shreve then had upon his his vessel. Afterwards, during Jackson’s Presi dency, Congress made appropriations of a large sum of money for the removal of the innumerable snags and other structions which made the navigation of the Mississippi river at that time very dangerous to life and property. Not withstanding the fact that many of his warmest political friends applied to General Jackson to secure the appoint ment of one of his friends to superin tend that important wotk, and that Capt. Shreve was his resolute and un relenting political enemy, (Jen. Jackson persisted in awarding the place to the stern and honest old Captain ; and the success with which tie the duty attested Jackson’s sagacity in making his choice. Shreve invented machinery and appara tus, especially adapted to the success ful prosecution of the work, and com pleted it to the perfect satisfaction of all interested in it; and at a late day succeeded in removing the great Red River raft, which had previously been considered an impracticable undertaking. This rate was over thirty miles in length, and for years had blocked up the entire stream. U4.B- Tin* i’aillii'nl Clerk. You cannot stop the course of Cupid’s arrows; they will hit where least ex pected, and leave a mark that no patent medicine can cure. M**. Boswell went to the great city full forty years ago, as a poor boy, but he worked his way up by ‘clerking it,’ until he went into busi ness for himself, lie then hued poor young men, like his former self, and among the rest took Sam Oiling as a boy to do messages and run on errands. In particular, Sam was always dispatch ed with small notes to his master’s house, and while he was sitting in the entry waiting for ma’am to return an answer —for she was a terrible slow penman— little Nancy, the rich man’s daughter, made his acquaintance. Sam was a bright boy, rather precocious, had an entertaining way to amuse the little girl, so that by-and-by she used to inquire of her father, ‘if he were not coming on er rands soon again? And there never was any long suspension in his calls, for it either rained, and his master either want ed an umbrella, or a friend was invited to dinner, or he had something of impor tance to communicate, so Sam was dis patched with the message. And then he was a great favorite with the old lady —for he was very exact and truthful— two excellent traits in any messenger. For years this sort of transmitted in telligence was conveyed by Sam. He was no longer the little boy, but a tall, graceful youth, and little Nancy was some way in her teens. Now he used to be invited by the daughter into the sitting room ; he was longer ‘Sam,’ but 1 Samuel. Muss Nancy and he discoursed of concerts and theatrical exhibit ions,and once in a while Samuel attended the same church, and used to peep over the mas ter’s pew and catch a glimpse of Nancy’s black lustrous eyes, ‘But what if she did not return the glance,’ thought he ; ‘1 am the son of a poor widow, and only a clerk ; it is all nonsense to think of being a favorite, only as 1 am faithful in the old man’s service.’ But some- j how Nancy did show winning ways. She half invited him to come and take a seat in the pew’ —or rather she said ‘we have always room enough’—and when she gave her birthday party, she insisted up on Samuel being invited. The old lady thought at first it would never do, but Nancy plead so hard, at last she told her j father in consideration of his faithfulness he ought to be invited, none of the com pany would recognize him,yet she should delight to introduce him as Mr. < filing. She did so, and many inquiries were made by sundry joung belles to know ‘who was that handsome young man ?’ All this flattered Nancy’s vanity, and in creased her affection. She now had low conversations w hen he came on errands, and once her mother detected her writing a note to him. She reproved her for hex temerity, w hich seemed not a whit !to abate the attachment. Finally her mother thought of sending her from home to abate the silly girl’s love, and l being obliged to tell the secret to the father, he protested she should be sent to a convent rather than disgrace herself in this way. But Sam was so well versed in hi= mercantile afl’airs; he knew so much , better than himself the characters of his customers, and had such a ready tact of detecting any evasive artifice, that he saved him thousands, annually, and this fact was not to be overlooked by dis missing him from service. But the af fair with Miss Nancy was not to be pass ed over without a reproval. Boswell had always been on the most intimate termes with his clerk, and how he could reprimand him as to accomplish his pur pose and destroy his attachment for his daughter, was to him a puzzling enigma, lie was mistaken, however, in one of his conclusions, which w’as, that no fath er ever had so difficult a matter to ad just before. After a sleepless night, Mr. Boswell called his clerk into his pres ence. At the very moment he was read ! ing a note which run as follows: ‘My parents may banish me to some ! foreign shore, or they may immerse me in the walls of a convent, yet 1 will suru mourft all barriers and eventually be yours. They may cramp my move ments, but they shall never destroy the affections nor the love in my heart for the ‘despised clerk.’ ’ ‘Offing,’ said Mr. Boswell, ‘is there any business on hand requiring immedi ate attention ?’ ‘None, sir,’ replied the young man, ‘save a few unanswered letters to some cotton dealers ;’ and he twirled the lov ing note iu his hand as if it were one of them. ‘Samuel,’ said Mr. 8., with a loud hem ; ‘Sam, I hear there is an attach ment existing between you and my daughter. Deport yourself like a man —is it so ?’ ‘lt is, sir,’ replied Samuel, manfully, but allow me to say,’ 1 will never mar ry her without your consent.’ ‘Keep her affections and not marry her, boy. do 1 understand you ?’ ‘The affections are her own, sir. 1 will use no improper means to retain them, Mr. Boswell—but perhaps you are too late in pushing these inquiries?’ ‘Offing!—you scapegrace!’ replied Bosewell, hall indignant, ami half play fully, ‘}ou always will have the last word.’ lie changed then his tone, and inquir ed about the liabilities of Pettingiil Cos. Mr. Boswell was evidently a reliev ed man. He had done his duty in re primanding the young man. and he could inform his wife of it, and let her proceed as she thought proper. Nancy, in the meantime, showed no reluctance to be driven wheresoever they might send her, and the convent in a southern State was selected. Her out fit was now rapidly purchased and made ready, and the day arrived for her de parture. Samuel manifested no out’ ward signs of regret, and the great ob ject seemed to unobservant eyes to be accomplished. Nancy, upon her arrival, wrote back concerning the delightful home she had entered. She seemed docile and obedi ent —loved her parents more than ever, and begged to assure them that they need have no anxiety on her behalf. She stayed a year with the lady Superior, really improving in all the graces and chat ms of feminine loveliness, when her father was suddenly taken ill, and she was summoned to his bedside. The interview was a long and private one—but Offing, the clerk, was likewise found by the bedside the same evening. ‘Samuel,’ said Mr. Boswell,‘l hm about to leave this world. At such a time ev erything but one’s character seems of little worth. You have been all in all to me and my business transactions. Do you still love my daughter f’ said ho, pressing his hand. ‘Our affections are unchanged,’ remark ed Samuel. ‘Then,’ said Mr. Boswell, ‘she is yours. Call her !’ ‘Nancy, you have my dying appro bation to marry this young man, and re member, it is in consequence of the dis creet and implicit obedience you have both rendered us when we w-ere oppose ed and indignant at the thought of your marriage. Here is my will; call your mother. lie did so, and they were all moved to tears. Samuel was appointed his executor; he was likewise his successor in busi tiess, with a cash capital of fifty thous- j and dollars deposited in his ow n name for his benefit, besides most ample pro visions for his widow and daughter. ‘And in consideration of the sterling integrity and a manifest desire to please,’ was inst rted before the devise of Samu el Offing. The clerk now succeeded she master; the marriage soon followed, and the hap py couple are still respected, affluent and beloved— an example to all aspiring young xnen eaily restricted by poverty, to be faithful and devoted to their em ployers, being assured that this is not a solitary instance where promotion ensu ed as the reward of uudeviating recti-1 tude.

A short time since we published a brief paragraph stating that the reader of the Bi ble might with propriety substitute “wheat sheaves” for “foxes,” in the story ot'Samp . gon setting tiro to the “rain fields of the l’hil estines. The Rev. J. C. Fletcher has felt ; called upon to criticise our paragraph, in au I article oftwo columns in the Aroostook Pion eer. Stripped of its verbiage the critique de clares that the 1 lebrcw word shmtlim means foxes, or jackals, while the word shalim means sheaves, and admits that no less au authority than L)r. Kennicott supposes x]ta li in to be the word that was probably in tended, though shmdim, foxes, is the word actually found in the Hebrew Bible. Mr. Fletcher thinks that no one has a right to suppose that shallm , should have been the word, inasmuch as shualim is the word.— lie says:— “ Shualim and shalim, are very near alike There is only the difference of that little let ter u. Calves is a specific word; we know just what it means by referring to young cattle. Now ifour friend Lander down in Am tty, who is great on grafted apples and large calve, has quite a number of the latter ar ticles (the fa ted calves,) and some future historian should say, “On the extensive farm of Mr. Lauder, were some, ‘mammoth calves,’ how easily some individual in a distant na tion, imperfectly understanding our language and puzzling over such a sentence, might make a satisfactory omission of the little letter t and thus make mammoth caves which should be very wide of the truth.” He also adds: “You may look in the summer time upon the plains (in Judea) covered with the fields of grain ; and sodry is that ungathered grain that a spark will do immense damage. “But how could .SampsoD catch so many foxes ? We will put aside the supposition of miraculous power and skill which he might have exercised in fox-hunting as well as in the slaying of men, and will merely state that he was a judge in Israel'—i. e. be fore the king such a man was as a chief and governor—and could command any num ber of foxes to be caught by others and brought to him at a given place. So that in the same sense that Solomon built the tem ple on which, perhaps, lie never performed a minute’s manual labor—Sampson caught the foxes.” We have always endeavored to apply ra tional principles to the Scriptures. There are many things in the Bible whose harmo ny—though we know ot nothing contradict ing reason—reason cannot see, and therefore we accept all the statements of the Bible ex actly as we think their author intended them. And when a miracle is announced, we receive the statement implicity. But we never suppose a miracle where it is riot absolutely necessary. Hence when we con sider what kindling the hair of a fox would make, and bow excellent a material fer that purpose dry wheat would be; when wc re member bow difficult it must have been for even a “judge iu Israel’’ to catch three hun dred foxes, and tie their tails together, and how easy it would have been tor him to set fire to dUU dry sheaves, and how much more sensible and leasible, eveiy way, the latter plan would be than the lbnn .r, and, above all, take iuto account the fact that the an cient Hebrew was spelt entirely without vowels, so that really, previous to the inven tion of vowel points, the word stood shim, instead of either shaU mot shualim, weshould Ik; glad to enquire of our critic, why in view of all this we have not a perfect right to read shalim as we please? The original writer of the hook wrote neither shalim nor shualim. He wrote shim. The letters ua were added years after, not by an inspired hand, but by some; uninspired Jew. The Masorites invented the vowel points. The author of the story who wrote long before did not use vowel points, because they were not invented. He wrote shim which may be spelled shalim or shmtlim according to the sense of ihe context. Mr. Fletcher flourishes considerably in his criticism about Hebrew Bibles, Jewish Rabbins, and the like. Hid he know these facts, aud lflie did not, had he not better keep out of such sub jects? And now, does the context require us to add the vowel u, or the vowels ua in this word ? It was written shim ; shall we write it shalim or shualim and read foxes or sheaves? L-tany one read the context, and he will not hesitate a moment. If we read foxes, we have an absurd story, impos sible without a miracle, and of uo value, then. If we read sheaves, we have a clear, credible account, with means adapted to the ends desired. No rational Christian can hesitate a moment between the two. Suppose we adopt Mr. Fletcher’s own il lustration. Suppose a biography of “Mr. Lander” should be found a hundred years hence, and a passage in it should read, “On Mr. Lander’s larin were two calves, each for ty feet square, aud capable of containing three hundred persons.” Every intelligent reader would see that the l was a mistake, and that the word should read caves; es pecially if like the ancient Hebrew our lan guage had no vowels in it, and the word was evs, (the l being silent it of course would not be printed.) But if any one had previ ously made the mistake of writing it out calves instead of eaves, we should find some future Fietcher—surely no one else would do it—insisting that Mr. Lander raised two calves, of this enormous size: Let it be remembered then, that the au thor of the story did not say either shalim , or shualim. He said shim. A subsequent and uninspired band added the two vowels. Any ready of the Bible is therefore at liber ty to understand the word as signifying eith er foxes or sheaves, and we must believe that those vho exercise the common sente which God lias given them, will prefer sheaves to foxes. We have natch re[ect for the received English version of the Bible, but we give it no blind acceptance. We endeavor to as j certain wht. toe authors of the Bible meant, and when h;/ clearly teach one thing, and I the uninspired translator make them teach another we trust Mr. Fletcher will pardon us if we prefer the original meaning of the Bible to any uninspired additions, especial ly where they do uo violence to common sense.
