[IHOM THE WALHALLA (S. C.) BANKER.)
SPRING.
BY F. B.—FOR AN ALBUM.
Wintry clouds their race have run,
And vernal scenes appear;
The orient locks of morning eun
Proclaims, sweet spring is here.
The soaring eagle mounts on high,
To gaze upon the sun.
And seems to pierce the distant sky,
As kindred birds have done.
The lark, to imitate his flight,
(Would spread his wings abroad,)
Arises up before your sight,
But drops beyond the cloud.
Again the tiller’s voice is heard,
His ox and plough are seen,
The bleating flock and lowing herd.
Are sporting on the green.
About our pathway shrubbery bloom,
With blossoms rich and bright,
Their fragrance yields a sweet perfume
Regaled in radiant light.
The little birds from bough to bough,
Each other fondly greet,
The little hills are vocal now,
With music soft and sweet.
O! may thy hands in spring time show
A heart indued with love,
In culturing plants in fields below,
To bloom in fields above.
And when thy days are numbered here,
And life’s ’’dull chain is riven,”
May you. with friends and seraphs share
A resting plaee in heaven.
I am not Happy when I smile.
o
I am not happy when I smile,
Or when my voice is gay;
For in my heart a sadness reigns,
Which steals my heart away.
The gayest song you hear me sing,
Is but a dirge to me,
And when I smile I hide distress,
Which none but God can see.
A smile may sometimes wreathe a lip,
When joy is far away,
And flowers bloom on a sepulture,
Above some wasting clay.
A rose all withered and decayed,
Some Oder will impart,
And smiles will linger long around
A crushed nr 1 broken heart.
A N
EXAMINATION OF THE TESTIMONY
OF THE
FOUn E VANGELISTS,
DY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE ADMINISTERED
IN COURTS OF JUSTICE.
BY SIMON GREENLEAF, LL. D.
§ 9. An ancient document, offered in
evidence in our courts, is said to come from
the p oper repository, when it is found in
the place where, and under the care of per
sons with whom, such writings might nat
urally and reasonably be expected to be
found; for it is this custody which gives
authenticity to documents found within it.
If they come from such a place, and bear
no evident, marks of forgery, the law pre
sumes that they are genuine, and they are
permitted to be read in evidence, unless
the opp . siing party is able successfully to
impeach them. The burden of showing
them to he false and unworthy of credit, is
devolved on the party who makes that ob
jeetion. The presumption of law is the
judgment of charity. It presumes that ev
ery man is innocent until he is proved
guilty ; that everything has been done fair
ly and legally, until it is proved to be oth
erwise ; and that every document, found
in its proper repository, and not bearing
mark •of forgery, is genuine. Now this is
precisely die case with the Sacred Writings,
r.'.e- have been used in the church from
time immemorial, and thus arc found in the
place where alone they ought to be looked
for. They come to us, and challenge our
reception of them as genuine writings, pre
cisely as Domesday Book, the Ancient
Statutes of \\ ales, or any other of the an
cient documents which have recently been
published under the British Record Com
mission, are received. They are found in
familiar use i.n all the churches of christen
dom, as the sacred books to which till de
nominations < >f ehristians refer, as the stand
ard of their faith. There is no pretence
that they were engraven on plates of gold
and discovered in a cave, nor that they
w ere brought from heaven bv angels; but
they are received as the plain mirratives
and writing; ot the in. n whose names thev
respeetix ely bear, ma le public at the time
they were written; and though there are
some slight d.-erct unci ■■ r.moti;; the copies
subs'q't mtly mad *, there i- no pretence
that the originals were any w h re corrupted.
It it be objected that the originals are lost,
and that copies alone are now pnxineed.
the principles of the municipal law here
also ath>rd a satisfactory answer. For the
multiplication of copies was a public fai t,
in the faithfulness i t which all lite Christian
community had an interest; and it isrule
of law, that, in <>f pn’.Re ttnf oea-
tral «" ~0-<* ~usf /ires.i iu,Z
to be Cvneers tut, on the pri ciple that i.nji
vidue'/t are ( -isu: ; .1 to be conversant iritb
t.’ieir ■ i .rf.c-x. Therefore it is that, in
such matters, the prevailing current of as
sertion is tvsiFted to as evidence, for it is
to this that every member of the commu
nity is supposed to be privy. The p< . s
more ver, who fl-ipU t epics, max
be regarded, in - • e iinmner. as the .u nt s
of the ehristian public, lt whose use and
benefit the copies were made; and on the
ground of the credit due to such agents, and
of the public nature of the facts them'-
selves, the copies thus made are entitled to
an extraordinary d gree of confidence, and.
as in the ease of official registers and ether
pub. e bocks, it is ltd nee -'.i: x that they
should lx- comiraied and sanctioned by the
ordinary tests vt truth. If any ancient
document concerning our public rights were
lost, copies which had been as universally
roceh d ami acted upon as the Four Gos
pels have been. wouixi have been re.reived
in any of our courts of justice, without the
saghtest hesitation. The entire text ot the
' urpus Juris Civiiis is received as author
ity in ail the courts of continental Europe.

appealing to these Scriptures for the cor- i
rectness of their faith; and having in all I
ages, down to this day, been respected as
the authoritative source of all ecclesiastical
power and government, and submitted to,
and acted under in regard to so many
claims of right, on the one hand, and so
many obligations of duty, on the other ; it
is quite erroneous to suppose that the Christ
ian is bound to offer any further proof of
their genuineness or authenticity. It is for
the objector to show’ them spurious; for on
him, bythe plainest rules of law, lies the
burden of proof. If it were the case of a
claim to a franchise, and a copy of an an
cient deed or charter were produced m sup
port of the title, under parallel circum
stances on which to presume its genuine
ness, no lawyer, it is believed, would
venture to deny either its admissibility in
evidence, or the satisfactory character of
the proof. In a recent case in the House
of Lords, precisely such a document, being
an old manuscript copy, purporting to have
been extracted from ancient Journals of
the House, which were lost, and to have
been made by an officer whose duty it was
to prepare lists of the peers, was held ad
missable in a claim of peerage.
§ll- Supposing, therefore, that it is net
irrational, nor inconsistent with sound phi
losophy, to believe that God has made a
special and express revelation of his char
acter and will to mm, and that the sacred
books of our religion arc genuine, as wc
now have them ; we proceed to examine
and compare the testimony of the Four
Evangelists, as witnesses to the life and
doctrines of Jesus Christ; in order to de
termine the degree of credit, to which, by
the rules of evidence applied in human
tribunals, they are justly, entitled. Our
attention will naturally be first directed to
the willies™ ’gygggg "l.’ t
whwt fn l 1 were; and we
shall take them in the order of their wri
tings ; stating the prominent traits only in
. their lives and characters, as they are hand
ed down to us by credible historians.
§ 12. Matthew, called also Levi, was a
Jew of Galilee, but of what city is uncer
tain. He held the place of publican, or
tax-gatheier, under the Roman govern
ment, and his office seems to have consisted
in collecting the taxes within his district,
as well as the duties and customs levied on
goods and persons, passing in and out of
his district or province, across the lake of
Genesareth. While engaged in this bus
iness, at the office or usual place of col
lection, he was required by Jesus to follow
I him, as one of his disciples ; a command
which he immediately obeyed. Soon af
terwards, he appears to have given a great
entertainment to his fellow-publicans and
friends, at which Jesus was present; in
tending probably both to celebrate his own
change of profession, and to give them an
opportunity to profit by the teaching of bis
new Master. He was constituted one of
the twelve apostles, and constantly attend
ed the person of Jesus as a faithful follow
er, until the crucifixion ; and after the as
cension of his Master he preached the gos
pel for some time, wiLli tin: other apostles,
in Judea, and afterwards in Ethiopia, where
i he died.
He is generally allowed to have written
, first, of all the evangelists ; but whether
, in the Hebrew or the Greek language, or
, in both, the learned are not agre d, nor is
it material to our purpose to inquire ; the
genuineness of our present Greek gospel
, being sustained by sati.-factory evidence.
. The precise time when I. ■ wrote is;.! o un
certain, the several dates given to it among
. ■ learned men, varying from a. d. 37 to a. d.
61. The earlier date, however, is argued
, j with greater force, from the improbabilitw
( j that the Christians xvimld be li ft for several
, , years without a general and authentic his
, ! lory of our Saxior's ministry; from the
j evident allusions which it contains to a
state of persecution in the church at the
, time it was written; from the titles of
sanctity ascribed to Jerusalem, and a high
er veneration testified for the temple than
. is found ill the other and later evangelists ;
‘ from the comparative gentleness with w hich
Ib rod’s conduct and character are dealt
with, that bad prince probably being still
in power; and from the frequent mention
of Pilate, as still governor of Judea.
§ 13. That Matthew himself was a na
tive Jew, familiar with the opinions, cere
monies, and customs ot' his countrymen;
that he was conversant with the sacred
writings, and habituated to their idiom ; a
man of plain sense, but of little learning,
except w hat he derivx'd from the scriptures
of the Old Testament; that In- wrote se
riously and from conviction, and had, on
most occasions, been present, and attended
closely, to the transactions which he re
lates, and relates, too, without any \ iew of
applause to himself; are facts which we
may consider established by internal evi
dence, as strong as the nature of the case
will admit. Il is deemed equally Well
proved, both by internal evidence and ti e
aid of history, that be wrote for the use ot'
. his countrymen the Jews. Every circum
st.mee is noticed which might conciliate
their belief, and every unnecessary expr
smn avoid,-1 which might obstruct it.—

| was educated ; an employment which must
I have made him acquainted with the Greek
' language, and extensively conversant with
'j the public affairs and the men of business
i of his time ; thus entitling him to our con
fidence, as an experienced and intelligent
observer of events passing before him.—
And if the men of that day were, as in
truth they appear to have been, as much
’ disposed as those of the present time, to
evade the payment of public taxes, and to
elude, by all possible means, the vigilance
of the revenue officers, Matthew must have
been familiar with a great variety of the
forms of fraud, imposture, cunning, and
deception, and must have become habitually
distrustful, scrutinizing, and cautious; and,
of course, much less likely to have been
! deceived in regard to many of the facts in
i our Lord’s ministry, extraordinary as they
f were, which fell under his observation.—
: I This circumstance shows both the sincerity
; 1 and the wisdom of Jesus, in selecting him
■ i for an eye-witness of his conduct, and adds
f great weight to the value of the testimony
s of this evangelist.

THE GOOD THINGS OF THIS WORLD.
Much of this world’s goods usually cause
I great distraction, great vexation, great sor
row, and great condemnation at last to the
possessors of them. If God give them
. in his wrath, and does not sanctify them in
. his love, they will at last be witnessed
. against him in that day when God shall
i call men to account, not for the use, but
. , for the abuse of mercy.
