[Boston Chime Tbe Revised Old Testament. On the 21st of May, the wor! the revisers of the Old Testament given to the public. This revisio the result of fifteen years' fait) labor on the part of thirty se learned men of England, and fiftee America B best scholars. These sci are claim not so much originality their woi as the putting into ava ble form the more than two hund years' philological and exegetical bor which baa been bestowed u the Bible. They, without pecuni recompense, put within the reach every English reader thi? etupend work of more than two h- ' .ed y? of scholars' labors in elucidating Scripture. They have fairly won gratitude of the English public. These men do not claim inspir?t in their work, as waa claimed for seventy two who gave us the Sept gint. As under no such supernatu guidance, they worked under ri that assumed differences of opini These rules allowed a change propo by the first revision by a majoi of those present, while no chat could be final except by a twothi vote. There will necessarily bi minority preferring other changes tl the ones adopted, or none. In main, we will have the decision judicial and prudent scholars. T advantage will serve largely to h us to overcome changes that may first prove distasteful to onr atta ment to our familiar version. 1 " few disparaging changes harped on so many writers on the revised vers of the New Testament, are as nothi compared with the many decided i provements hurried over, if mentit ed at all, by these same writers. 1 ought to weigh and compare the t together. There has been a wood fol acceleration in the study of I brew under advantages that the I braists of King James' day never < joyed. This learned skill will pro a great help in arriving at the mes ?ng of many decidedly doubtful pa ages, as found in our English versu While it would be unwise to for this work of the revisers upon t public in place of the version in ever day use new, we need not and mr. not be deprived of the valuable a it will afford io the intelligent atut of God's Word.

Nor will any earnest, ii telligent leader of the Scriptures ri fuse ita aid in helping him better I understand the Bible, but rejoice wit grateful heart to God that he lives i eo privileged au age. Revising the Old Testament. Home Changea Made iu Familiar Texts. Among the lighter touches of tb revision of the Old Testament ar those which occur in the well know passage which is here given aa rt vised: "But I hnow that my Rn deemer liveth, and that He shall stan* up at the last upon the earth, and al ter my skin has been thus destroyed yet from my flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for myself and min eyes shall behold and not another.' Another well known passage in Ec clesiastes becomes : " Remember uls< thy Creator in the days of thy youth or ever the evil day come or the year draw nigh when thou shalt say I havi no pleasure in them." The chang? here is, "remember also" for "remem ber now," with another variation, "o; ever the evil daya come" for "whib the evil dave come not." The witch of Endor now etea ooh "a god," not "gods," ascending. It Proverbs "a naughty person" be comee "a worthless person." " Win? is a mocker, strong drink is raging,' becomes " Wine is a mocker, Btrcng drink a brawler." The subatitutioc of modern words for archaic expres sion have only taken place where the expressions are not only obsolete, but to the public unintelligible. " Coat of mail," for instance, is substituted for "brigandine." For the word ?? cockatrice," there is given " basi lisk," with "adder" aa the marginal alternative. In the fifth commandment, " Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee," be comes "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long up on the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.' The following are examples in which the actual taak of revieioa i-i distinct ly seen : Authorized version-Gene sis xiii, 14, "In the mount of the Lord it shall be sean;" revised ver sion, "In the mount of the Lord it shall be provided." Authorized ver eion-Exodua xiv., 20, " And it waa a clond and a darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these." Re viaed, "And there waa the cloud and the darkneea, yet gave it light by night." Authorized, Job xx xi, 35, w Behold, my deaire ia that the Al mighty would answer me." Revised, " Lo, here ie my sign above, let the Almighty anawer me." Authorized, j Job xxx vi, J S, " Beware, lest be take thee away from his stroke." Revised, " Beware, lost thou be led away with thy sufficiency." Authorized, Psalm lxviii, 4, " Extol him that rideth upon the heavens." Revised, "Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts." Authorized-Psalm lxviii, 19, "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us benefits." Revised, " Blessed be the Lord, who daily bear eth our burdens." Isaiah xi, 3, authorized, " The voice of him that crieth io the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord." Revised, "The voice of one that cri etb, prepare ye in the wildemees the way of the Lord." Io all these cases, as in many oth ers, there seems to have been a strong minority among the revisers which held ont for the alternative readings and succeeded in putting them in the margin, which contains most of the ucholarship of the revision. Th first verse in both the authorized and re vised versions is the same. The first alteration occurs in the second verse, where, instead of, "And the earth was without form and void," we read, "And the earth was waste and void.1' The text of the story cf the Creation is without other striking variations. The same may be said of the descrip tion of the fall and of the flood. In the ten commandments are some ver bal alterations, the most striking be ing that the sixth, " Thou ?halt not kill" (Exodus xx, lo,) becomes, "Thou shalt do*no murder." The connection of America with the revision remains to be noted. It is explained as follows in the preface: "The revisers had already made some progress, and had, in fact, gone twice through the Pentateuch before they secured the co operation of tne Ameri can Old Testament Revieion company. The first revision of the several books was submitted to the consideration of the American revisers, and, except in the case of the Pentateuch, the Eng lish company had the benefit of their criticism and suggestions before they proceeded to the eecond revision. This second revision was in a like manner forwarded to America, and the latest thoughts of the American revisers were iu the hands of the English com pany at their final review. In every instance the suggestions fr.">m Ameri ca were treated with the same con sideration as those from the members of the E?giieh company, and were adopted or rejected on their merits." The preface adds that those points on which there was ultimate disagree ment are placed on record in the ap pendix, filling sixteen pages. The American emendations so recorded are chiefly directed towards modern izing the translation by the omission of obsolete forms, th of language and spelling. Training Children. The Greatest Responsibility Parentage Involves-Penalties Attending Shirker**. One would naturally suppose the* the care of children would be the firut thoughtjjf ?i?^^^*?r???*Tfuerea8 in*j many case^teeTnTs as . il" the first thought were rather to escape that I burden-although the responsibility may never be shirked without penalty -delegating it to hired and indiffer ent hands and heads, often ignorant, often incompetent, without reflecting that it demands not only the love and tenderness .such as no alien can fur nish, but that tho wisest mind is not too wise for the task, nor the most cultured intellect too well trained or too brilliant to cope with the subject, to fit the human soul for its sphere and its work, for development of its transcendent powers. The person who engaging a nursery maid re marked by way of preface, that neither he nor his "wife kne* any thing about the care of their children, nor did they wish to know," only frankly ac knowledged the deplorable condition of mind of many, and certainly had no business to have the bright faces of children about his hearth. One wonders if he treated any other cf his possessions with such un concern. Those wdio regard their children as their chief occupation in life, und who love that occupation can hardly understand the state of mind of mothers who a<-cept every excuse for turning ' .em efl' upon whoever will take ,? charge, careless of the''-..,, J, they may meet from the unguarded and untaught speech of servants or gamin-mothers who love their own ease and pleasure bet I ter than the souls of their sons and daughtero'whofiud nodelightin watch ing the unfolding of a human intel lect, and whose minds are too narrow to appreciate the self-hbnegation of wiser mothers, whom they look upon as slow specimens of the race of women, old fogies with domestic pro clivities too strongly developed, be ings without a thought or aspiration beyond the clean faces and clothes of their brood, without a proper sense of the sphere of woman, which in their view seems to consist merely in dressing and gossiping, flattering and being Mattered by the other sex. People take infinite care of their homes, their land, their clothes, but they too often leave their children, their most valuable possessions, upon whoae welfare and progresa the race depende, to t?ke care of themselves, unaware or heedless of the greatintei est at stake, and deaf to all admonition. A child's mind is plastic,ready to re ceive every or any imp;eseion, and it ?B the parents who have the power to dictate what these impressions shall be". When a child learna lying and thieving or any evil, it is generally the father and mother who deserve the punishment for these offenses. They received the precious gift ol an untutored mind into their keeping, and if they have neglected it have chosen to waste their energies on less er themes, on the vanities of the world and the flesh, they haye so the wind and will reap the whirl wit -Harper's Bazar. - ? -. Tl>a Crematorium at Milan. A Description of the Method of Incin? ation Employed There. The irematorium stands.at the I end of the grounds, a building i large nor high, but, with its crescei shaped open atrium of white marb sufficiently handsome and imposit On the frieze is this inscriptio "Tempio Crematorio per volonta < Alberto Heller erott e donato alla ca di Milano. On the wall facing t entrance is a handsome medallion Albert Keller, who was duly cremat in the temple of his own providii Many portions of the wall are mark off in small tablets inscribed with t names of the persons whose bod have undergone cremation, and wh( ashes, in many cases repose in an u or small vessel in a niche behind t tablet. Ashes they are not, propel speaking. I was shown about a cour of handfuls of white bleached hoi in bits not larger than one's finger all that remaitsd, as I learned, aft the cremation of the body of a m some ten stone in weight. Other spaces have been appropri?t by the intending cremators, and ha the word "Aesegnato" inscribed them. Through a small door you pi from the atrium into what I may c scribe as the operating room, in t middle of which stands the enclos furnace, looking much like an e larged edition of the family laund copper. The fire is kindled at t back of the furnace, and when at t proper moment released by the u lifting of iron shutters, comes roani through two large orifices, and quic ly fills the whole of the space whe lies^the prey. The body-il cadaver ae the attendant called it, seeming take great delight in repeating t words-dressed in a light linen woolen Bhroud, or other costume, taken from the shell In which it h been brought, aud laid on a mart slab, thence transferred to a lar iron tray, which is borne to the mou of the furnace and laid on a fran which by the action of a winch, wound into the interior with its bu den. The iron door is then close the shutters, as described above, a raised, and the furnace, to use i American expression, is literally full blast. At the end of two hou the operation is complete, ai d all th there remains of what was once man, full of "blood, bones, marro passion, feeling," are "Two handfuls of white dust shut in i urn of brasa.". The system at present in use that of Paolo Gprini ; it takes, as have said, two hours and the coi sumption of 300 kilogrammes of woe and 25 kilogrammes of charcoal. Tl cost of everything, including tl mural tablet, is 94 francs.

Under this system th whole affair will be completed iu fift minutes. In this place, which was p?rfectl sweet, clean and wholesome, withoi: the faintest trace of hnything caler lated to offend the dense of sight c smell, there are eighteen or twent cases of cremation every month. The are, the attendant Hd me, decidedl on the increase, and were the choler scare again to appear, he had no doubt from what he had heard, that th practice would hav? large numbers c adherents. Already bodies for crema tion are cent fr ou distant parts o Italy, and on the next day one wa expected from Paris. And, indeed when I thought of all the horrors o our ordinary "buryings," I could no wonder at the desire to be quit o them, no matter at what amount o trouble or expense.-London World OkU?e Seeking Relier.

WARREN LELAND, whom everybody knows as tho successful manager of tba * Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that ?bile a passenger from Now York on board a ship going around Cape Horn, in tbe early days of emigration to Cal ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, daring the voy age, of an obstinate disease by the usc of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended AVER'S SARSAPARILLA in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail ure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. LELAND'S farm laborers bruised bis leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor rible itching of tbe skin, with horning sad darting pains through the lamp, mads Ufa almost intolerable. The leg became enor mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any ava ir until the man, by Mr. LE LAND'S direc tion, was supplied with AVES'S SABSAPA r.i LL A , which allayed the pain and Irritation, bealed the sores, removed tbe swelling, and completely restored the limb to ase. Mr. LELA wo has personally used Ayers Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful observation, d?chues that, in his belief, there is-uo medicine in the world equal to it for tbe cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high livlnf, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various form? of blood diseases. We bave Mr. LELAND'S permission to invite all who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers ot AYEU'S SARSAPARILLA to see hun persou ally either at bis ro-mmoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Holst, Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York. Mr. LELAND'S extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradicator of blood poisons enables him to gire Inquirers much valuable information. PREPARED BY Dr. J.C.
