If ever amended, it must be' with the reverent touch with which we restore the painting of an old master. And even then the changes must stand out as proposed, and receive the sanction of universal consent, before being in corporated with the text. They must by no means be foisted in.

It is at once a reproach of their divisions, and an eloquent homily up on the necessity of union among Christian men.

In such a juncture of affairs wo be lieve the world without tb| churches would correct and rebuke the folly of the world wuu- in them. Shortly afterthc completion of King James’ translation, and while the publishing of Bibles was in the hauls of private printers, violent sectaries procured the issuing of edi tions corrupted to suite their own purposes. Some of these alterations seem to have keen dictated by a spirit of mhchief, if not of mal ice, Thus one priuter is ;aid to have omitted the important word “not” si the Seventh Com mandment, for which he w», afterward fined several thousand pounds; others changed iu decisive passages ••unrighteoisness,” to right eousness," anil •‘shall not inherit’’ to “shall inherit.

Unfortunately not every one who nd' dresses himself to this task is as fally quail lied to do it well. About forty years ago a well-known diviue of England rushed into the 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.

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.

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. be not cm ieus: show no hastiness in tempt*; I A Smni for Life, talk not long at a time; tell no stories; avoid j About twenty years ago, a inan-of-war w«3 hackneyed expressions; make no digressions; iyj ng at anchor iu the principal harbor of Anti hold no one by the button when talking; tore- g UJt which, as most people know, forms one of stall not a slow speaker; say not all you think; the group called the West India Islands, adapt your conversation to the company ; give I j t wa4 a jj 0t su j tr y j a y j n the beginning not your advice unasked; renew no disagree- j unc .
