TErT. I. 2P; Is, 1. What wi't tuoe persons
Who olject to "illBotr.i'.itia" bo Bible, or ex
plaining its figures arid metaphors, say to such
hpest-Hires as tbt'8P?-(n July 23, at (Jowf-r Street
Chnpel, Mr. Miilpot took for his text Jer.
xxxil, 14; Hiifl In introducing his subject said,
"Before I ccter into tbo spiritual part of my
subject, it will bo ncorsary to explain tbe Ms'
torical and literal; for without knowing tha
literal meaning of a pas-SHno, It ih impossible
rightly 1o understand tbe bplritual." This is pre
cisely our view, and what we have for a long
lime bceD nimtng at; and bow beautiful hun
dreds of figurative expressions in the Bible
appear when we know their meaning I Whit
are the pnsRHyes at the head of this paraijranb
but figurative? To u they may ceem extrava
gant; but tbey were not so to the Israelites.
Indeed, not Oblv tho Israelites, but the Greeks
at a later period, were in tbe habit of using
similar expressions; not with ony idea of deceiv
ing, but simply to tet forth how very hich tho
walls were: juft as, in Genesis slit, 1G, and xxil,
17, end Numbers xxiii. 10, the descendants of
Jacob nre compnred to dust, to show hownutne
jous they would be.
I'oiiscipncc.
A lender cousciCDce is like the apple of a
man's cje; trie least dust tbal gathers into it
effects it. There is no surer and better way to
Inow whether our consciences are dead and
Itupid, than to observe what impression small
tins ninke upon us. If we are not very carelul
to avoid ail appearatce of evil, and to shun
Whatever looks like sin; if we are not so much
troubled at the vanity of our thoughts and
trords; at the rising upot sinful desires in us,
iswohuve been formerly, we may then con
clude that our hearts are hardened, aud our
eontcleices are stupefying; for a tender con
science will no more allow of small sins than of
great ones. Bishop Ezekiel Uojikins.
A Sharp Rebuke.
The lollowing Ion mot is told of the well
nown Mr. Coutts, the banker. A young lady
iho met. this veuerable millionaire in society
fenturcd to say to him: 'Too pie say, Mr.
outts, tbatjou are dreadfully rich; will you
fcll me bow jou made all your money ?" "I'll
4-11 jou bow I made half of it," replied he;
aud that was by minding my owu business."
f But," continued the unabashed interrogator,
how did you make the other half?" "By
raving other people's b.isiupo alone. "

The Flmira Beiniblican says that tho will of
he lMe Simeon lienjamiu, loiu a resident ot
Urolra. was recently a Imitted to probate, and,
iside Irom turns devised and bequeathed to
irivate individuals, the following educational,
lenominational, and charitable institutions
yere remembered by . him: To tho Elmira
''emale College, in additiou to bis former gifts,
le gives J25,uU0; to Hamiltou College, $20,01)0;
o tbe Piesbvteiiao Hume of tbe city ot Phila
delphia, for home and foreign mision, and tor
Bible aud tract diatnoutiou, 830,000; to tbe
Auburn Theological Seminary, $10 ,000; to the
Drpbaiio' hone of Elruira, $2000. Mr. Beojttniiu
lad previously given to the Elmira Female Col
ege the sum ot $55,000, and the $25,000 con
ained in his will makes a sum total to that

elation, because ot physical inQrmities. The

Issipned reasons to the Presbyrery for doing so,
fating that they would cheerfully pay the
alary promii-ed to their pastor, and furnish a
upply lor tbe pulpit also, so long as the health
t their pastor iuitr. Ut require it. The Preaby

In China, Bhebas no postal system, and her only

Is as extensive as that or Kurope. China is a land of
