It doesn’t seem to be growing any bigger, although it is little more distinet than it wasa week ago. — Frifay evening it could be seen an early as seven o'clock, a little south of Venus, and about twenty degrees higher up in the sky, The comet. disappears in the haze of the horizon before the evening is far spent.

The Werk Finished, aE: The new revision of the Old Testament has been completed, and will soon be before the public. It is safe to predict that it will be received wich far less favor than the New Testament revision, and will not sentially a new revision, the workcome into general use. The. reason for this is that 1t is hardly recognizable as the same book. While the work of the New Testament was es on the Old Testament isa new translation. There were comparatively few words in the Greek which were mistranslated by the Jacobite ‘scholars, Their material, not their learning, was at fault where fault was found. “However well the © translators of King James may have been acquainted with the Greek they knew little of Hebrew, as com pared with the modern stholarship, They knew all that was koown perhaps, but of Hebrew grammar they knew nothing. The wonder ia thate the work was so well doneasit was, In grammatical construction scarcely a verse was accurately rendered, while words and phrases were so often misunderstood that revision was impossible and anew translation was a necessity. Many of the changes that have been made are familiar to the Bible readers. Many are taught inthe church and Sunday school,and will grate harshly on the ear,— The child will miss Joseph’s “coat of many colors” and* will be comforted with the ‘‘tunic with long sleevés.” (The exact significance of the gift might be better expressed in the vernac f to-day bya ‘long tailed coat.”) _“fsaiah has suffered more than any offier by translation, and the changes that are made, ‘particularly in the XXVIII chapter, darkness into light. The reader of the Engiish textcan see that two writers were engaged on this poem The pride and supercil ousness has been removed from David; ‘the ap}-parently impossible is shown to be quite in accordance with the urdinary laws of nature. ‘Senator Catt of Florida, has jintroduced a bill to repeal all laws and parte of laws prohibitiug the payment of pensions to wounded -and disabled soldiers of the United States without proof of loyalty. This simply means placing rebel soldiers applying for pensions on the same footing with the Union soldiers. It .ia well known that there are thousands of rebel apvlications, involving millions. of dollars, ulready made out. and in the hands of pension claim agents at Washington; abiding the time-when such a billas Mr. Call’s becomes a law. THE conversation was about Bishops, and one feverent dame said : ‘How good the dear Bishop’ of Peterborough is! What a good man 1” Instantly a gentleman replied : “There is no merit in that.

The Werk Finished, aE: The new revision of the Old Testament has been completed, and will soon be before the public. It is safe to predict that it will be received wich far less favor than the New Testament revision, and will not sentially a new revision, the workcome into general use. The. reason for this is that 1t is hardly recognizable as the same book. While the work of the New Testament was es on the Old Testament isa new translation. There were comparatively few words in the Greek which were mistranslated by the Jacobite ‘scholars, Their material, not their learning, was at fault where fault was found. “However well the © translators of King James may have been acquainted with the Greek they knew little of Hebrew, as com pared with the modern stholarship, They knew all that was koown perhaps, but of Hebrew grammar they knew nothing. The wonder ia thate the work was so well doneasit was, In grammatical construction scarcely a verse was accurately rendered, while words and phrases were so often misunderstood that revision was impossible and anew translation was a necessity. Many of the changes that have been made are familiar to the Bible readers. Many are taught inthe church and Sunday school,and will grate harshly on the ear,— The child will miss Joseph’s “coat of many colors” and* will be comforted with the ‘‘tunic with long sleevés.” (The exact significance of the gift might be better expressed in the vernac f to-day bya ‘long tailed coat.”) _“fsaiah has suffered more than any offier by translation, and the changes that are made, ‘particularly in the XXVIII chapter, darkness into light. The reader of the Engiish textcan see that two writers were engaged on this poem The pride and supercil ousness has been removed from David; ‘the ap}-parently impossible is shown to be quite in accordance with the urdinary laws of nature. ‘Senator Catt of Florida, has jintroduced a bill to repeal all laws and parte of laws prohibitiug the payment of pensions to wounded -and disabled soldiers of the United States without proof of loyalty. This simply means placing rebel soldiers applying for pensions on the same footing with the Union soldiers. It .ia well known that there are thousands of rebel apvlications, involving millions. of dollars, ulready made out. and in the hands of pension claim agents at Washington; abiding the time-when such a billas Mr. Call’s becomes a law. THE conversation was about Bishops, and one feverent dame said : ‘How good the dear Bishop’ of Peterborough is! What a good man 1” Instantly a gentleman replied : “There is no merit in that.
