Why, the bachelors loved to play with and dandle her on theib knees, though at first they might be a little bashful and awkward in tal-ing hold of the strange and inaccustomed thing. But, the smiles and winning wa) s oIthe baby were always irresis. tible, anid sure to overedne at last the most obstinate baclclor. People love babies as they do fiowers. Gentlemen especially, who are fonid of flowers, like babies, the sweetest of then all, to carry in their hands, jut as they would put a carnation in their but. toil holes.

In some whole chapters appear to be missing ; in others par. - ticular texts are not be to finouid;'so that a complete copy of' the Scriptures is very rare. It may be well to ientii t a few of the dllerencies most frequent ly occurring: "1. In a great many Bibles the xi. clakpter of' Ist Corinthians, fr .i the "*3d Verse to the eid, is altogether want ing, heidos twu 4r: three passages inl the Gospels. In this church there must, be more than a hundraLl Hib-s out of which those leaves have been lost. "2. Another passage often rrnissrrr is the vi. chapter of St. Matthew, Iroir the 1Rth verse to the end. ndeedI the whole of the Sermon ott the Moutt. is frequently torn, and the allegory of the two houses at the end of it is al. mnost rubbed out. " 3. All the texts which speak f 'perfecting' or 'finishing' a work, as Psalms cxxxviii, 8. or PhillippiUns r. 6, are not ie found inl any copies. In others such verses as Luke xi. 10, are partly or wholly .lost. "4. Still more remarkable is the filet that the deficiencies in the Bibles are difflerent at dit'ereit times. At present the parts which it is becomrini f'ashion to tear out are the 4tIr verse of Matthew, xxv ; the t. of Co. lossians, from tihe 16th to 20th verse ; thu- former part of 2d Timothy in. 1i.
