THE DEFECTS OF THE NEW VERSION.

Professor George P. Fisher, of Yale, writes forcibly of "Martin Luther, after I'our jtiunurea xears, aud compares the new version with Luther's translft' tion of the Bible, to the detriment of the new, as follows : "He was determined to issue not a colorless version, or version enervated by idiomatic peculiar ities of the Bjebrew and the Greek, or a pedantic version, intelligible and inter esting only to the cultivated, Jput rather a translatiou which should make th Bible appear to have been written ii German. He gave amusing accounts of the struggles it cost him to make the sacred writers 'speak German.' In Job, especially, his patience was wellnigh exhausted. No one could under stand what it cost him to make Job 'reden Deutsch.' But he succeeded In Sis version, the apostles and proph ets 'reden Deutsch," the Deutsch of the shop, the market and the hearth stone. Luther's Bible is a living book, If the recent English revision of the authorized version, admirable in vari ous particulars, fails at any point, it is just here. There is a lack of freedom inthe incorporation or English idioms in a word, there is an undue servility, So far as a translation fails to give the torce ana beauty of tne original, it is incorrect. Close adhesion to grammar and lexicon, in many instances, may be the cause of greater loss than gain. We must have the spirit as well as the let ter of the text. If we cannot have both, then better the spirit than the let ter. Our recent revisers make the frightened disciples who saw Jesus walking on the sea cry out, 'It is an ap parition.' (Matt. xiv. 26). Would Buoh a company of fisherman, in a state of alarm, use this word? It not, some other should have been substituted for it. The juicy language of Luther's version, its sinewy vigor, its racy idioms, and the rhythmical charm which it has in common with the au thorized English version, are literary merits which it is impossible to estimate too highly. TJie Century. VSE OF THE SHrAZZ. JtOT. It has been the habit of the brother hood of newspaper paragraphers to say bitter and even cruel things of the small boy. Like that part of the com munity known as the mother-in-law, the small boy has had no rights which these manly wits felt bound to respect. And yet it is evident that the small boy has his uses. An example of his usefulness was given at the burning of the Kimball House, at Atlanta, Ga., where the horrors of the JSlewhall House disaster in Milwaukee came near being repeated. But for the energy of a couple of newsboys, who went through the building arousing the guests by their shouts, many of them would have continued to sleep until too late to save themselves. Thpse two unknown small boys of the news variety prevented a terrible tragedy. And perhaps a hundred people owe it to the energetic screams of these young sters that they are still alive. The small boy has his vices. He is ad dicted to mischief. He teases dogs and is death to cats. He plays practical jokes -on his elders when he gets a chance. There is nothing esthetic about him or comely either. But it will be remembered that when the old World building was on fire, and escape from the flames was next to impossible, it was a little bootblack who had the foresight and courage to cut the telegraph wires, and in this way was instrumental in saving several lives. He was properly recognized as a boy hero. And the youngsters whose shouts saved many lives at Atlanta are certainly deserving of honor. In fact, there are small boys who have in them the elements of noble and useful manhood. And if the small boy wa , cuffed less and encouraged more might be i found a great deal more useful than he is. New York Star. A. FltETTT DRINKING CUSTOM. You take wine with your neighbor in Sweden in a peculiar fashion. It ia not enough that you should bow and placed your glass to your lips. You must, also, after having sipped the wine, bow again, or, rather, you must retain the glass in your hand and, slightly bending over it, look for a moment straight in the eyes of him or her with whom you are drinking. That is the custom,, and a very pretty one it is, particularly when the eyes in which it is your duty to gaze have that depth of liquid bluertess whioh nature has bestowed upon so many maids and matrons in that northern land Corres2)oudenoe of the San Francisco Chronicle. THE ALEUT FARGO GIRZ. A few months since, when a train passed Fargo, a wealthy passenger was struck with admiration over the tender manner in which a young lady led her aged grandmother along a path near the , track. Seeking an introduction, the man of riohes married her within a few weeks, and now every time a train pulls into that burg at least a dozen maidens con be seen trotting their old grandmothers up and down the track. This story comes from a Fargo man. Bismarck Tribune.
