Two children down by the shining strand, With eyes as niue as the sommer sea, While the sinking pun fills all the land With the glow of a golden mystery, Laughing aloud at the stamew's cry, Gazing with joy on its snowy breast, Till the first star looks from the evening sky, And the amber lines stretch over the west. A soft green dell by the breezy shore, A sailor and a maiden fair ; Hand clasped in hand, while the tale of yore ls borne again on the listening air, For love is young, though love be old, And love alone the heart can fill: And the dear old tale that has been told In the days gone by, is spoken still. A trim-built home ona sheltered bay;. A wife looking out on ilse glistening sea; A prayer for the loved one far away, And prattling imps 'neath the old roof tree; A lifted latch and a radiant, face By the open door in the falling night; A welcome home and a warm emla ace From the love of his youth and his children bright. An aged man in an old arm-chair; A golden light from the western sky; His wife by his side, with lier silvered hair, And the open Book of Cod close by. Sweet on the bay the gloaming falls, And bright is the glow of the evening star; But dearer to theta are the jasper walls And the golden streets of the Land afar. An old churchyard on the green hill-side, Two lying still in their peaceful rest; The fisherman's boats going out with tho tide In the fiery glow ol' the amber west.

THE REVISE? TESTAMENT. The Work Condemned by New il aveu Clergyman an Faulty. NEW HAVEN, November 20.-The j enthusiasm with which the Piotes tant clergymen of this city approved the re :on of the New Testament, seems to have abated. Alter a moie careful examination of the,work the resident clergymenjjare almost unani mous in the^opinion Jthat the revision will not be adopted byj churches or scholars. The clergymen of the Epis copal denomination neither officially nor individually approved the revi sion, and the ?abovej statt ment is noe intended to include them. At a re cent meeting ul the Protestant cler gy men in thia city, held at Centre Church, the subject y/us treedy tiia* r-si?T>*j|}*--tU?dy "Liltt??!fg^'..bi:? ?totfllg'* was confidential,"enough hus come t<y the public^to^show they are very much dissatisfied with the revision. All the clergymen present aeknowl.j edged the necessity ol the King! James translation, aud?were equally! unanimous in the opinion that the. j recent revision was too faulty to be j adopte?!. The great burden of tho, criticism upon the revision waa in re lation to its bad English, ano*, the { Rev. Dr. John E. Todd, of the Church of the_Redeemer, said that he had counted 15? instances ol bad English in one of the E? iscles ol Paul to the Corinthians. A revision so faulty.'fche said, could not be ap proved by scholars of this age. The Rev. ?Samuel W. Barnum ami the Rev. Dr. Deunen criticised the revi, ?ion upon the same ground. N,-> church in this city bas adopted the revision in public worship, and many people who have used it in family worship have discarded it, and re. turned to the version of ICU. Them has been little public adverse criti. cism upon the revision, yet, it beiug the opinion among scholars that it is faulty, no help ?B needed to hasten it into obecurity. Scholars of this city state that the suggestions made by the; American members of the Revising Committee were much better than those adopted by the English reviser^ The Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon was asked to-day about the meeting. He said he knew noting about ir., and when told the attendants at the meeting were unanimously against the revision, remarked: "So much the woree fnr them." Why She liidii't Recognize Him. The other evening a Brush street policeman heard a whistle shrilly blown and a female voice calling for help, and after a short run he reach ed the scene of commotion. A mun was getting up and falling down again on the door steps, and a fe male had her head out of au upper window and seemed to be half scared to death. "What's the matter?" asked the j officer. "A man has been kicking on the door," she answered. "This man here ?" "Yes. I thought he'd tear the whole house down." The officer reached out fr.v the man and made two discoveries. It was the woman's husband and he wa8 fighting drunk. "Why, this mau wouldn't burt yon-he's your husband," he called ont. "Ia that so? Charles, is that yon ?" "Bet yer life's smee," mumbled ; Charles. "Then you really must excuse me, Mr. Officer. You cee, we have only I been married six weeks, and I do not 'readily recognize him yet. I'll be down in a minute, darling."-De trVif Fl rr Press. Printers' Devils. A great many* perBODS are in the habit of looking upon and speaking of printers' devils in a manner that reflects no credit op themselves. Those same printers' devils, in nine cases out of ten, are three times as well posted jan the issues of the day as the person who slights and speaks lightly of them. There is no class of boys for whom we have a more pro found respect than well-behaved prin ters' devils. They know something and are practical, which ie more than you can say of all class?e of boys. In that respect, we place the boys who work in a painting office, head and shoulders above most boys. Young woman, before you again elevate that delicate nose at the approach of a printer's devil, get some one who knows something of history to tell you the names of a few characters that were once printers' devils. For fear that you will dislike to show your ignorance, we will give you a short list of ex-devils of printing offi ces. If yon have heard of any Oj them, quit your flirting and nonsenee in general.'and go to studying. Did you ever hear of Benjamin franklin . Ben was once a printer's devil. He waa also one of the sign?is of the Declaration of Independence. Hani" bal Hamlin, Vice-President under Lincoln, was once a poor printer's devil. Schuyler Colfax, who has oeeu Speaker of the House o' Re pre sentatives for a number of years, was "nothing but a devil in a printing office'' at one time. Horace Greeley? who was one of the first journalists on this continent, and an ex-congress m in, was a printer's devil. Ex-Sen" ator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylva nia, was a "devil." Thurlow Weed, one of the wealthiest^ind most influ ential men in New York, and editor of the Commercial Advertiser, was a pennilees "devil" in a printing office Ex Senator Ross, of Kansas, com menced his success!ul career as a printer's devil. Two thirds of the editors in the United States were once printers' devils. Permit us to tell yon that the men who once did du y as printers, have don?- more to advance the ?uler?ate au?l*fcustain the good name of America tlu/? any other class. ' TJu?? SQUASHED.-Thu later advice1: from England .-Late that the strange ?peculation irr (Confederate honda which set in so suddenly and ex tended so rapidly from England t? this country, baa quite as suddenly died out. Tiie theory on wnich the shrewd,originators of thu speculation acted was that there" we. e large sum io money deposited in the Bank of Eng bind to thefcredit ot the late Con fed. erate govern m nt, and other large deposits of money held on Confeder ate account elsewhere, to all of which thc holders of Confederate bonds had a legal claim, it seems to have been accepted by the credulous with more confidence than is usually given to BO wild a story. While the lover o| speculation lasted those who picked up large amounts ol bonds toe a merely nominal sum made money ont ol their di.pes; for we lear.) that ai their culminating point some cf lb* bonds were sold in England at. ten per cent, of their face value. Buf, when the London Times stated there waa no money held in the Bank of England on Con fr ra te account, and when, from other sources, it was learned that il th?-re were any Con" federate assets anywhere the decision8 of the English courts adjudged them to belong to the government of the United States, the hack of the specu. lation was broken, and investors had to p icket their loases with the besf grace they ?could command.-Balti more Sun. A FAITHFUL WIFE.-About eight years ago a man by the name of Tay lor left bia wife and five children in Schley County, Georgia, from some frivolous reason, and soon after he lett, there was another son born to them. All the property that they pos.-.essed waa one mule, which Tsy lor carried off with him. Mrs. Taylor had worked hard-was mising her children in an admirable way, and wa* making some money. She had not heard from her husband from the day he left until recently. While passing ur.e of her neighbors she was j called in to "see something," when j she discovered it was her long misa- j I ing husband. She fainted and fell- j ! That afternoon he accompanied her j home, and the next day she visted I her Primitive Baptist brethren to j know if it would be against the j church regulations for her to be the I wife of Taylor again. They did not object, and all is well now. The Republicans will have practi. cal control of both houses of Con gress, by slender majorities, and will j therefore, be responsible to the coun try for legislation. The tariff, inter nal revenue laws, appoitionraent of Representatives, contested election j cases, and other important measures i will give rise to much discussion and i make and unmake reputations.

Now, where is th-tt book? Lost. In tho thin! Book of Kings it is recorded that Solomon wrote 3,000 proverbs. There are not more than 1,500 in the present B:ble; the rest are lost. In the same book it is mentioned that he wrote 105 Canticles. There ia not the half of j that number in the ? resent Bible? ? Then we find au allusion to the hook ; ot Nathan the Prophet. There is no ?such Book; it ia lost. In Cor?nides i we read that the acts o? David are ! written in the Book of Samuel, the i Seir, and Nahan, the Propbtt. There j is no such book; it is ioet. Tn er?
