Judas Iscariot. Tho question is often asked, was Judas a Uhristiuuf On this subject those is a difference of opinion Whilst son.e me inclined to balieve tbat lie was a gCod man up to that f.ital hour, when by the instigation of Hatan, he was led to commit an act which has rendered his name and his memory odious through all subsequent liuiti others with more shew oi reason, muiuta n that this act of betraying his Lord and Master, was but the outgrowth of a conupt nature, which bad never been removed by D.v'ne Grace. Those who altach any weight to legendary lore, would be disposed to jlass Judas, in point of mo al obaractir, with Herod ti e Great, or Caligula, or with tho infam u Nero. For according to this ape cies of evidence, his mother before his birth, had a prophetic dream, announcing to ler that the cnild that was soon to upprur upon the stage of uction, would in the pro cess of time, commit two of the most atrocious deeds found in th records of crime. One the murder of his own Father, ainl the other a crime still more flugit ous, anil in order to p-event the ex cutiou ol these diabolical deeds, the parents, soon after the birth of the child, placed the infant Judas in a tight box and committed it to the i>e.i. The wa' es bore the discarded waif to a neighboring Isle And having fallen into the bands of the Gover nor of the Island, he was tak<-n and reared by him,until ho reached the age of maturity. At that time having committed an act which en hungered his life, ho was forced to ilee the Island, and in doing no, he made his way hack to Palestine.

Now where legend leave* Indus, sacred history lakes him up.
