^Meantime, Mr. Tom Thornton and doe,

So saying, Mr Thornton looked tliu ?t&,edoor,
ami went lo hi* supper. After

ire, intending lo visit the milicr's. and
ive an interview with "Mis# Hen ley. What
ouUl she wyy? was Lfie question which at

'ettod the lo>t race, and eheoiuaged him

confusion. Whatever Mr. Hampton and
r. Ityder might have learned about that
jolle.n.an, u> confirm their suspicions, they
id said nothing lo any hut young Thorna;
and they had desired hiin to maintain
a strictest secrecy.
The youug farmer found Miss Ilenlcy
it, and her worthy father still smoking
id drinking, as she had left him.
"f^it down," said ho, motioning Tom to n
at.
"We had bad luck yesterday, Mr. liony,n
said Tom.
"You've no occasion to tell me that, you

Tho false old villain comforted bimscll
upon tho iesult of the conference. It \ra?
better for both parlies*, he thought, for he
v as "-esolved that they should not marry,
and this would put an end to their further

After a hurried walk of fifteen minute^
] Tom Titoriuon looked about him. and found
hiin-elf at the gate of tho old church yard.
' He entered, aud slowly pacing along the

As Ensign Dobson and Mi?s Ileulcy np

I "Are you afraid of ghosts, or of taking

tial nir, "tho man who Iras been inured to

Tbo grand sublimity of thosconery which

Double Narrative of Creation in Genesis1
'rofes?or J. W. Gibbs, of Yale College, 1 |jrjt
the distinguished orientalist and scholar. cy j
ImB contributed to llid New Knglnnder an ,n,,
article with theabovi^litle. in which he shows j
that the beginning bt.^enev* contains two
accounts of the Creation; the one estending ,
to th? tlliril ??r*o r\f ..t...... . ' ' *
__ ? ....? vi???<>|'ivi PTOJTPi, inciU- j' ^
-ivc^nnd the other to the end of chapter
third. The first section, according to lbia
division, has a visible unity, it being the j?
history of seven successive days. The secoud
section has also an unity of its owo. The
beginuing and end of it both refer to the
Garden of Eden. The second secliun has a ' j
distinct superscription, Gen. 2; 4. Compare
similar superscriptions, Gen. 5: 1 20: 111: ..Z
10 30: 1: but see also Gen. 10: 20, 31. 32. ?!
3G: 30 Ps 72: 20. Sometimes we fiud
double titles. See Gen X: xuvi. In the ^ .
first section the Deity is called Elohim (God)
thirty-five times, and by no olhcr name. In ft||j
the second section he is called Jrhovak Kin
&tr? (Lord God) nineteen times, and by no y '
other name, where lite writer speaks in his p^l
awn porson. Tboro arc throo instances in ,,nr
which tbe woman or serpent speaks, and
the Deity is called Elohim, Gen. 3 1:3 5. .
The l'rofcsaor judgea that the writer of
the first section had digested plans before
him, and he notes rylbmus and uniformity ^
iu the construction of his sentences, cou mist- ^
ing with the more simple and artless style ; . i
af the second section. The writer of sec>nd,
often fiuds occasion to go back, in or- ^,e ^
der to mention circumstances which he had
omitted in their proper place. After noti y
cirxg the formation of man, and being about ^j4"1
lo placu him in the Garden of Eden, be ?t
goes back to describe tbo planting and lo- ' ?
cation of that garden, chap. 2: 8 15. Man j
is placed in Eden, and the tetup'Htion is at c 1 '
, i .i i * j nnc*
hand; the sacred penman goes back lo notice
the origin of the woman, as she was a
partner with him in the transgression. This c
again lends the writer to dcseiibe the ocea?ion
of her being created, chapter 2, 18 25.
Prof. Gibbs notices some annarani ini?r?n. 01
