BY imv. 1 ;,47. T. ILENBT.
I be diligent is the study of it; andlOok-
The celebrated novelist, Sir Walter , ing steadfistly on the inane. of Jesus
Scott, during his last sickness, when he Christ, which is presentql in its pages.
had returned from Italy to die in, his pure and splendid, full of
. grace - and
native land, called upon his nurse to truth, may we through Allis life become
bring him the book; and his nurse ask- more and more conformed to the disiine.
ing him what book, his reply was, "the image, and finally be made partakers ' of
Bible, to be sure: that is the book, and the divine nature. • . L
the only book to which the definite:ar- I
tide can properly' be applied."
The Bible is! emphatieally the book.
There are other books, multitudes of
them; Scott himself wrote other books;
but there is one book, which not man,
but the Creator of man_wrote, and only
one such book, and that is the Bible!
Of all books in all languages: it is -- "first
in point of general and individual in
ter, st, is complete and true, is connect
ed with the commencement and the end
of. time, is a narrative of the vast, and
a lesson for the future."'
It- may be very naturally aske,l, if the
Bible is such a wonderful book. and
every thing of human production -is
tikiged with the imperfections of its au
thor, whly dOyou rut any other book
into our hands? To which we reply:—
• For 6as same reason as guide-boards are
put by the road-side; not to detain the
traveller, but to dilect him aright on his
journey. So we write the tract or mag-,
azine only to lead you to, study. and
value the Bible more. Especially do we
deem - this needful iu the present day,=
as there are so mauy false guides that
wonid misdirect you and lead you to
,a
precipice frcim which you might fail and
perish. • The press is now teeming with
publications which, however they may
be gilded over with profe•eaons of lib
erality—freedom from the prejudices of
bigotry—or of profound e seliolarship,
are so many envenomed shafts aimed at
the vitals of our Christianity, insinuat
ing a deadly poison, which, but for a
timely antidote, may burn and agonize
the victims of skepticism forever. •'
But even the very best of human pro
ductions are not to be allowed an equal
ity with the word of God. Well has it
been said of the sacred writings,. that;
"inditel under the influence 'of Him to
whom all hearts are known they suit
mankind in all csuditions, grateful as
the manna which descended from heav
en and conformed itself to every palate.
The fairest productions of human wit,
after a few•pernsals, like gathered flow
ers, wither' in our bands and lose their
fragrance; but tber.e unfading plants of
paradise become, us we are accustomed
:to them, more and more beautiful; their
bloom appears to be daily brightened;
fresh odors are-emitted, and new sweets
extracted from them. He Who hath once
tasted their excellences will desire to
taste them yet again; and he.who tastes
them oftenest will relish them best."
Let no man's heart fail him, therefore,
on account of the assaults that are made
on his faith in thesßible, seeing that for
ages it has survived all the malice and
- power of.its eudmies, and still—
" Like some tall cliff it lilts its awful form,
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the
storm;
• Though round its breast the rolling clouds
are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head!"
Nearly one hundred years ago, Paine,
the infidel of execrable memory, boast
ed that he had "gone through the Bible
as • a woodigau witti his axe, and cut
down all the trees in the Christian Eden;
so that however the priests might try to
stick them in again, they would never
grow." Impious man! he has passed to
the tribunal of thejudge whom he defied;
but the truths he thus boasted Of having
demolished, are still living, yea more,
are farikinmroot in every land, spread
ing their brUnches, and yielding their
„fruit `0 the eons of men.
Hnme,h more subtle and philosophical
adversary, exclaimed iu a tone of exult
ation, '"Methinks I see'the twilight of
this Chriitianify;" meaning the twilight
of the evening which would darken into
the night of Athoism;'but being pur
blind, he had mistaken the time of day.
It was the twilight of the morning,
Which has ever !duce been shining more
and more - unto th.q.-Arfect day. Nor
need we fear the more recent attn ck
which have been made on this sacred
volume, especially those upon the in
spiration of the Old Testament.. From
these hostile critics, we can appeal to
Him who has put his stamp of approval.
upon them - by repeated references and
quotations.
How refreshing it is to turn from
these distractions in high places to the
dwellings of the pious poor, whose per

ciousness of the sacred volume is atower

. A wise and good man tells of a dreaiu

. dream. I was, that on a sudden all the
Bibles in e land had their words and
chapters b otted out, so as to contain'
nothing but white paper. From other
books 'also all scripture texts were as I
suddenly last, so that nowhere could he
found a single Bible word. It was as if
God had said, "The people Jo not love
my book tis they might, nor care to
read it; they shall not therefore ha'e it
any longer." Everywhere tbere was
sadness ilea fear. A great lamp seemed
tb havagone out, which had shone upon'
the way to heaven, arid all wens left iu
darkness. "Give us backoar Bibles;

DINING WITH A TWO-H r EADED GIRL.--
In response to an•invitatiOn from Mr.
J. R. Smith,_ a Star I reporter took
breakfast with Mille Christine, the
double headed girl,. yesterday morning.
The interesting young lady, who po
seises two heads, four arms, four feet,
sings duets, waltzes; polkas. and boasts
of several accomplishments, and has a
suit of rooms at No. 51 East Ninth street.
When the reporter arrived all was in
readiness for the morning. meal. Five
- persons comprised the party.
"The weather. is very oppresive,"
WAS .the greeting of the double-headed
girl, as she shook the right hand - of the
scribe with two of her four Lands.
The left side smiled serenely and fanned
itself vigorously with of the disengaged
hands. There was a great deal said at
table, but the guests were there for the
purpose of taking breakfast with Millie
Christine and omitted'to make a note
of the conversation. he Nightepgale
occupied one entire side of the table,and
while one pair of her eyes was intent up
on gazing on the well spread table, the
other was looking out of the window
with dreamy expression. Two plates
were well filled with edibles and the
work of destruction was begun:
One-half of the lady had an especial
fondness for fried chicken and toast,
while the other would partake of noth
ing but porter-house steak and fried
potatoes. In the line of liquids , one
half drank iced milk to the other's oof
f4e, and two napkins were demanded
and freely used. Somehow or other
there was time found for talking to
ward the close of the, meal, and the
Nightengale spoke freely and intelli
gently upon a number, of interesting
topics. At times one head would make
an assertion which its companion could
not entertain and then an interesting
and animated discussion would follow.
Happily theseargurnents were amicably
adjusted, and breakfast was finished in
time for the donble headed lady to go
to Bunnell's museum for the midday
exhibit ion. -

Dn. B. J. KESDAtt i Co:-.—! bad a very valua
ble Etambletonian colt which. I prized very high.
ly,he had a large bone spavin on one joint and
a small one on the- other which made him very
lathe; Iliad him under the charge of two vet en.
nary mirgeons which failed to "cure him. I war
one day reading the advertisement of Kendall's
Spavin Cure,izathe Chicago Express. I determia.
ed at once to try it, and got our druggists Lere
to send for it, they ordered three bottles; I toot
them all and thought I would give. it a thoror.,-;h
trial, I used it according to -directions and the
fourtlii day the colt ceased to be lame, and the
lumps have disappeared. I used but one bottle
and the colts limbs are as free from lump. and
as smooth's'. any horse in the state. He Is et•
tirely cured. The cure was so remarkable that
I let two of my neighbors have the remaitto;
two bottles, who are now using it.

DR. B. J. XVIDALL, Dear Sir:—The particular
case on which I used your 'Kendall's Spavin Curt
was a malignant ankle sprain of sixteen months
standing. I had tried many things, but in vain.
Your Spavin Cure put the foot to the ground
again, and for the urst .time since hurt. s
natural position. For a family liniment it ei•
cell anything we ever used.
Yours truly. -
