WHEN I WOULD DIE. ‘ t
O, let me die in spring-time! *
’Twere sweeter then to die; : (
While nature smiles in beauty, ■ j
And fragrance fills the sky. j (
While earth enrobed in blossoms,
Is garnished as a green,
Easy twere then to slumber
Beneath the ivy’s green.
When golden winged song-birds,
Among the woodlands sing,
Disease would seem the lighter—
Death a mere pleasant thing.
While heavenly beauty reigneth
O’er forest, hill and plain, <
O let me take that journey,
Whence ne’er to come again.
Then let me* die in spring-time !
’Twere sweeter then to go,
Where spring eternal reigneth,
And heavenly flowerets grow.

EXAMINATION OF THE TESTIMONY ! '
OF THE ; .
FOUR EVANGELISTS, i I
BY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE ADMINISTERED
IN COURTS OF JUSTICE.

BY SIMON GREENLEAF, LL. D. 1
I 1
§ 33. In the second plaee «<?<■?- ,
tty. The text witter before cited, observes, I 1
that the ability of a witness to speak the i ‘
truth, depends on the opportunities which i ’
he hgs had for observing the fact, the accu-j ’
racy of his powers of discerning, and the (
faithfulness of his memory in retaining the 1
facts, once observed and known. Os the J
latter trait, in these witnesses, we of course
know* nothing; nor have we any tradition- (
ary information in regard to the accuracy ’
of their powers of discerning. But we may ’
well suppose that in these respects they I 1
were like the generality of their country- | (
men, until the contrary Is shown by an ob- i *
jector. It is always to be presumed that i!
men are honest, and of sound mind, and of j 1
the average and ordinary degree of intclli- ! f
gence. This is not the judgment of mere 1
charity; it is also the uniform presumption
of the law of the land ; a presumption '
which is always allowed freely and fully to
operate, until the fact is shown to bo other- ’
wise, by the party who denies the applica- 1
bility of this presumption to the particular (
case in question. VV henever an objection
is raised in opposition to the ordinary pre- ’
sumptions of law, or to the ordinary expo- i 1
rience of mankind, the burden of proof is ' *
devolved on the objector, by the common 1
and ordinary rules of evidence, and of prae- 1 '
tiee in.courts. No lawyer is permitted to j
argue in disparagement of the intelligence '
or integrity of a witness, against whom the ■
case itself afforded no particle of testimo
ny. I his is sufficient for our purpose, in
regard to these witnesses. But more than
this is evident, from the minuteness of their
nmiatixes, and from their history. Mat
thew was trained, by his calling, to habits
of severe investigation and suspicions seru- ■
tiny ; and Luke’s profession demanded an j
exactne; of observation equally close and '
searching. lite other two evangelists, it I
has been well remarked, were as much too '
unlearned to forge the story of their Mas- I
ter’s life, as these were too learned and
acute to be deceived by imposture.
> <4. In the thud plaei-. as to theiriiiim
’’er and the ~f tlwlr testimony.
The character of their narratives is like that j
of till other true witnesses, containing, as
Dr. Paley observes, substantial truth, under ■
circumstantial variety. There is enough of,'
discrepancy to show that there could have |
been no previous concert among them ; and 1
nt the same time such substantial agree- : '
ment as to show that they all were hide- J
pendent narrators of the same great trans- .
action, ns the events actually occurred.—
That they conspired to impose falsehood
upon the world is, moreover, utterly incon- i 1
sistent with the supposition that they were 1
honest men ; a fact, to the proofs of which
we have already adverted. But if they
were bad men, still the idea of anv coti
npiraey among them is negatived, not only
by the discrepancies alluded to, but by I
many other circumstances which will be
mentioned hereafter; from all which, it is
manifest that if they concerted a fhlse story,
they sought its accomplishment bv a mode !
quite the opposite to that which all others
are found to pursue, to attain the same
end. On this point the profound remark
ot an eminent writer is to our purpose;
that “in a number of concurrent testimo
nies, where there has boon no previous con
cert, there is a probability distinct from '
that which may be termed the sum <>! the 1
probabilities resulting from the testimonies j
of the w finesses ; a probability w hieh would 1
remain, even though the w itnesses were of '
such a character as to merit no faith at all. 1
This probability arises from the concur- •
rence itself, lhat such a concurrence should
spring from chance, is as one to infinite ;
that is, in other words, moral! v impossible.
If therefore concert be excluded, there re
no cause but the reality of the fact."
? <w. The diserepancries between the
narratives of the several evangelists, when
carefully examined, will net be fl. aid - if
fieient to inxalidate their testimonv. Many
seeming contradictions will prove, upon
closer scrutiny, to 1„. tn substantial agree
ment; and it may be eonfidentally asserted
that there are non.- that ns ill n..i \ u -kl. uu
dor fair and just criticism. If these differ
ent accounts of the same transactions were
in strict ve* bal conformity w ith each other,
the argument against their cred ibii it v would
be much stronger. All that is asked fl>r
these witnesses is, that their t stintonv
tv. iy be regarded as wo regard the testi
nie!l * n ordinary affairs of
life. This they are justly entitled to; and
tins no hotioral ’.<■ adversary can retuse.—
\\ e might, indeed, take higher ground than
tins, and confidently claim for them the se
verest w:.;!i:iy; but our present purp
is merely to tty their veracity l,x th- onii
nary tests el truth, admitted in human tri
bunals.
§3'’. If th* «iidei.ee .-fl tae evtp.ge'i-M'
is to be r«je.. ted because of a fe .:<<■’<: - '
at.cies among them, we shall be obliged to
discard^h. h many of the eouten4x.ua

«»d •ome on mere essential points, but m 1
every cbm in a wonderful and inexplicable,
■ WW' *** °P ia i° c ’h* public, suppreea of
manner. Yet these contradictions do not,
in the general public estimation, detract
from the integrity of the narrators, nor
from the credibility of their relations. In
the points in which they agree, and which
constitute the great body of their narra
tives, their testimony is of course not
doubted; where they differ, we reconcile
them as well as we may ; and where this
cannot be done at all, we follow that light
which seems to us the clearest. Upon the
principles of the sceptic, we should be
bound utterly to disbelieve them all. On
the contrary, we apply to such cases the
rules which, in daily experience, our judges,
instruct juries to apply, in weighing and
reconciling the testimony' of different wit
nesses ; and ’which the courts themselves
observe, in comparing and reconciling dif
ferent and sometimes discordant reports of
the same decisions. This remark applies
especially to some alleged discrepancies in
the reports which the several evangelists
have given of the same discourses of our
Lord.
§ 37. In the fourth place, as to the con
formity of their testimony with experience.
The title of the evangelists to full credit
for veracity would be readily' conceded
by* the objector, if the facts they relate
were such as ordinarily' occur in human ex
perience, and on this circumstance an ar
gument is founded against their credibility. I
Miracles, say the objectors, are impossible;
and therefore the evangelists were either
deceivers or deceived ; and in either case
their narratives are unworthy of belief.—
Sinosa’s argument against the possibility of
miracles, was founded on the broad and
bold assumption that all things are govern
ed by' immutable laws, or fixed
rr>rrHmtruhiHiurr; tdrrncJ (.lie
nature, by which God himself is of neces
sity bound. This erroneous assumption is
the tortoise, on which stands the elephant
that upholds his system of atheism. lie
does not inform us who made these immu
table laws, nor whence they derive their
binding force and irresistible operation.—
The argument supposes that the creator
of all things first made a code of laws, and
then put it out of his own power to change
them. The scheme of Mr. Hume is but
another form of the same error. He de
duces the existence, of such immutable laws
from the uniform course of human expe
rience. This, he affirms, is our only guide
in reasoning concerning matters of fact;
and whatever is contrary to human exne
rience, he pronounces incredible. Without
stopping to examine the correctness of this ,
doctrine, as a fundamental princijde in the i
jaw of evidence, it is sufficient in this place I
to remark, that it contains this fallacy ; it !
excludes all knowledge derived by inference |
or deduction from facts, confining us to >
what we derive from experience alone, and |
thus depriving us of any knowledge, or j
even rational belief, of the existence or ■
character of God. Nay more, it goes to I
prove that successive generations of men •
can make no advancement in knowledge, !
but each must begin de novo, and be limited I
to the results of his own experience. But !
if we may infer, from what we sec and 1
know, that there is a Supreme Being, bv i
whom this world was created, we may cer- I
tainly, and with equal reason, believe him i
capable of works which ice have never yet i
known him to perform. We may fairly |
conclude that the power which was origi
nally put forth to create the world is still i
constantly and without ceasing exerted to
sustain it; and that the experienced con- |
nexiou bctweiii cause and effect is but the |
uniform and constantly active operation of;
the iingi rof God. W hether this uniform
ity ol operation extends to thinus bevond I
the limits < f our observation, is a point we ■
cannot certainly know, its existence in all
• Ttrf/Igs ThltT nTTtTTDTTrIy coficern us inn s In
supposed to In- ordained as conducive to
our happiness ; and it’ tin. belie!' in a reve
lation of peace and mercy from God is con- t
dueive to the happiness ol' man, it is not '
irrational to suppose that he would depart |
from Ins ordinary cotir.se of action, in or- <
dec to give it such attestations as should L
tend t<> secure that belief. "A miracle is
improbable, when we can perceive no silt- ;
lieient cause, in reference to his creatures. I
why the Deity should vary his modes of I
operation ; it ceases to be so, w hen such
cause is assigned.”
§3B. But the full discus.ion of' the sub
ject ot' miracles forms no part of the pres- I
ent. design. Their credibility has been I'ullv I
established, and the objections ot sceptics I
most satisfactorily met and overthrown, bv I
the abh st writers of our own day, whose
works are easily accessible. Thus much,
however, may here be remarked ; that in
almost every miracle related by the evan
gelists, the facts, separately taken, were
plain, intelligible, transpiring in public, and ■
about whieh no person of ordinary observ
ation would lie liable to mistake. Persons
blind or erippb d. who applied to Jesus for I
lelict'. were ki >wn to havi been crippled '
or blind for many years; they came to be
cured ; he spake to them ; they went away ,
whole. Lazarus had been dead and buried
four days; Jesus called him to come forth
from the grave; he immediately eatne
forth, and was seen alive for a long time
afterwards. In every ease of healing, the
pre\ ions condition of tliesutlerer w as known
to all ; all saw his instantaneous restora
tion ; and all witm-scit the act ot' Jesus in
touching him, and heard his Words. Ail
the- •, separately considered, were facts,
plain and simple in their nature, easily seen
and fully comprehended by petrous of
common capacity and übseriation. It' they
were separately testified to, by different
ot ordinary intelligence and in
tegrity, iii anv court of iustie -, the iurv
would !■ liotind to believe them; and a
wi.lkl, i.-n.lered .outlaw t ■ the eneontra

would be liable to be set aside, as a verdiet

IMMORTALITY.
There never was a greater truth than
that enunciated by a late German banker,
who had exhausted his life in amassing a
colossal fortune. He was surrounded by
some young friends and disposed to give
them the benefit of his bittter experience.
“Here,” said he “are before you the busts
of men who have gloriously cultivated the
liberal arts. I have' met with busts and
other busts like them, wherever I have
traveled —all over the world. Painters,
poets, sculptors, statesmen, distinguished in
every field of genius, have their passports
to immortality erected in stone, throughout
the globe; but, my friends, I have never yet
seen astatue erected to the memory of a man
who has devoted his life to making money.
The affluence of such a man must be his
only consolation. He will be honored in
life—but in death he is forgotten; for he
has left nothing behind him to exalt his
race, or give honor to his country.”

diamonds in the mine, the smallest frag
ment of which is valuable, and will sparkle
