Held with defiant trumpet blast, denied the
literary competency of King James’s transla
tors, aflirmed that no version had been mado
from the original Scripture since the days of
Jerome, and proceeded to remedy this defi
ciency in our literature by drawing directly
from tho Hebrew records.' How far he suc
ceeded in his undertaking wc arc not precise
ly awaro; but we have seen the following ci
ted as a specimen of his earlier efforts: it is
from the account of tho creation of Eve, the
mother of us all:
"Then he brought one to her side* whose
flesh he Uad inclosed in her place. Then Je
hovah built the substance of the other, which
he took for the man, even a woman,” etc.
.Our readers may, at their leisure, compare
this jumble with the simple rendering of our
standard version.
Another luckless wight, who wishes the
style of oar English Bible to be modernized
and made more vivacious, perpetrates the fol
lowing. It occurs in the answer of the Roman
ceutnnon u> uu. o„in,.
"Lord, don’t give yourself the trouble of
coming. I don't deserve you should honor
my house with your presence.”
And another, who has an itching for a more
dignified diction, travesties the twenty-third
Psalm in the following style:
"Deity is my pastor, I shall not be indi
gent. Thou anointest my locks with odorifer -
ous unguents. My chalice exuberates,” etc.
Theso are follies, but who will say that they
are not seriously meant by their authors 1
They show that a translator may enter upon
his work with the utmost self-confidence, and
yet totally misconceive the spirit and tone if
not the sense of the inspired volume.
But without the alteration of a single syl
lable the text of our version might be presen
ted in a far more readable form. Thedivision
into chapters aud verses has its uses, but no
cue will pretend that it does not interrupt the
flow of narrative, of poetry, and oi argument.
It creates, besides, the pernicious habit of con
templating the contents of Scripture as com
posed of so many distinct aphorisms; whereas
the aphoristic form is peculiar to the book of
Proverbs alone. Why not, as in the editions
of Ilomer or Milton, relegate the chapter and
verso uumbers to tho margin, dividing the
text iuto suitable paragraphs according to the
sense ? The division of the Bible iuto chapters
and verses is no part of its inspiration; it was
made on individual responsibility, and. more
than that, very carelessly made. It was not
originally designed to facilitate reading, bat
to make referenco to a concordance more ea
sy. We owe to Cardinal Hugo de Santo Caro
—a concordance-maker of the thirteenth cea
tury, the division into chapters, and to a Jew
ish Rabbin tho subdivision of the Old Testa
ment into verses. Robert Stephens, the fa
mous editor and printer, distributed the mat
ter of the New Testament into verses to nd-
jnst it to a concordance which he was then
passing through the press. He tells us, more
over, that he did the work while traveling on
hoiscback (inter equitandum) between Lyons
and Paris. Whether he wrought at this versc-
makiug while cantering his good steed on tho
road, or while baiting at his inn, be docs not
say—probably both. Wc can not think that
Scripture has l«cn, by this arrangement,
rightly divided; in some instances it has been
fearfully dislocated to the detriment of its
symmetry and beauty. Much would be gain
ed, too, if the citations, in tho New Testament
from the Old, were indicated by quotation
marks and printed in spaced letter. Besides
the gun in clearness by this change, it would
keep'prominently before the eye and inind
the confirmation by the authors of tho New
Testament of the genuineness and inspiration
of the more ancient Scriptures. We arc of
opinion too, that a slight difference in arrange
ment would give greater impressiveness to
the hymn-book of Scripture, the model of all
bymnology, the collection of Psalms. These
ancient songs, which have a power still to
touch the dullest sensibilities, may reasona
bly ask to be treated with the appearance of
justice. What syllabic measure is to classic,
and rbyrno to meidern poetry, the parallelism
of the verse-members is to the poetry of tho
Hebrews. The alliterative Jreatment of the
theme is frequently followed at intervals by a
choral refraiu ; but these features scarcely ap
pear in our present mode of printing the text.
Tho loss of effect is the same as if wc were to
print n collection of modern hymns as so much
prose, tearing the reader to pick out the rhyme
and the reason as he best could.
Our decision has carried us uot unwillingly
to tho remote post; to the seed-time of the
rich harvests of blessing wliich we arc now
gathering year by year. Then, King Henry’s
Chancellor, Sir Thomas More, condemned all
who were suspected of importing or conceal
ing Tyndale’s New Testament to ride through
the streets of London with their faces to their
horses’ tails, with paper caps on their heads,
with thecopics of Scripture bangingfrom their
cloaks, which they were compelled to cast in
to the fire at Cheapside ; now, one of the no
blest organizations known to Christendom
strains it resources to the utmost to place a
a copy in every man’s house. Who at that
day would havo predicted so great a change!
Yet wo hear one os early ns 1010, anticipating,
in the spirit of prophecy, and in language of
almost superhuman eloquence, the goodto b
How to Wear the Beard-
Wc recently published mi article from Black-
Wood’s Magazine on the male costume of tho
ptesent day. As the mysteries of dress should
not be all left t» the ladies now that the.cqunli-
ty *f sexes is becoming a popular doctrine,
we lubjoin an article on the proper manner
of waring the bc:rd :
With very trifling differences in the dressing,
of the.natural made of hair about a man’s
mouth, the whole character of his personal
presence is changed. It is wonderful indeed
tin,* for m obvious and universal a want as the
wearing.of the beard, artists have never yet
given us_ s manual of the first principles, illus
trated witKdriwinga. It b a hook that would
bO' eagerly bought up aud studied. With
daily study pt the beards of our friends and
acquaintances, becoming and unbecoming, we
have, of courae, learned here and there an in
cidental lesson tn the subject, and thic, in the
lack of more atistic authority, wc propose
now to jot down
Where the bciity of n face consuls mainly
in the fine lormalon of the jawbone and chin,
a man loses by powing bis beard over this
portion. _ Better icar only the moustache.
There is now arilthcn a man whose severity
or sharpness of eye is redeemed by a good
nntured mouth—tic animal character of tho
person being kindlita than the intellectual—
and a covering of the, lips, in such a case, b,
of coarse, a mistaken iidiug of Nature’s apolo
gy, and a needless detrment to the expression.
Better wear only the whiskers.
A small or reccdingtliin, and a feeble jaw,
may bo entirely conceal'd by a full beard, and
with great advantage toiio_general physiogno

Too straight an upper \ip can be improved
by the curve of a wcll-ttisimed moustache.—
So can an upper lip that is too long from the
nose downward, or one tb< Is disfigured by the
loss of some of the upper tietb. Washington,
in the prime .of life, sufficed from the latter
nfiiictiou, and (artistically q-caking) bis face
as represented to posterity would have been
relieved of its only wcakneslif he had conceal
ed the collapsing upper lip a military mous
tachc.
A face which is naturally ho grave can be
made to look more cheerful bt turning up the
corners of the moustache—as\nc which is too
trivial and inexpressive can bunade thought
ful by the careful sloping oftle moustache,
with strong lines downward. >
The wearing of the whole Ipard gives, of
course, a more animal look; whih is no dbad-
vantage if the eyes are large anl the forehead
intellectual enough to balance it But when
the eyes arc small or sensual, undtlic forehead
low, the general expression b biter for the
smooth chin, which, to the commoteye, seems
always less animal.
What is commonly called an “Impqial”(a tuft
on the middle of the chin) is apt to tick like a
mere blotch on the face, or to give ( on air of
C ess or coxcombry. The weariig of the
long or short, forked or peeked, are
physiognomical advbabilities upon c-liich a
man of judgement will take the adv«e of an
artist as well as of an intimate friendjr two;
but having once decided upon the in os (becom
ing model, ho should stick to it. Altcrdion in
the shape of ho prominent a portion of the
physiognomy gives an impression of uureiable-
uess and vanity.
Middle-aged men arc apt to be scuitire
with the incipient turning gray of the bqrd;
but they are often mistaken as to its effed.—
Black Lair which turns earliest, is not chly
picturcsqucly embclisbed by a sprinklinLof
gray but exceedingly intellcctualizod and male
sympathetically expressive. Tho greatest pa-
stble blander is to dye such a beard. There's
one complexion, however, of which the grizzlii^
is so hideous that total shaving, dying, or an;
other escape, is preferable to "leaving it tc
nature.” We mean the reddbh cloud, of which
the first blanching gives the appearance of a
dirty mat. .It was meant to be described, per
haps, by the two lines in Iludibras;
“The upper part thereof was whey.
The nether orange mixed with gray.”
A white beard is so exceedingly distinguished
thnt every man whose hair prematurely turns
should he glad to wear it; while for an old
man’s face it is so softening a vail, so winning
an embellishment, that it is wonderful how
such an advantage could be thrown away,
That old ago should bo always long bearded,
to bo properly veiled and venerable, is the feel
ing, wc are sure, of every Jover of nature, as
well as of every cultivated and deferential
heart.

The Macon and Brunswick Company havo
gone to work in good earnest, and arc now lo

forty miles from Macon, it will be put under
contract This forty miles will bring the road
to a point opposito this place, and if the old
line is adopted, it will be ten or twelve miles
east of Hawkinsvillc.
The Fort Valley and Brunswick Company
have subscribed to their road something over
8300,000, and arc making arrangements to
have the route surveyed, which wo learn will
be commenced at an early day. We under
stand that this company havo not yet decided
whether they will survey the route through to
