DIVI3IOSS OF TTIH B1ULB. PYlor to the time of the SpanWi rahoL the Jew had employed system of dividing tlie chapters iuto verses in the Old Testament, a system which liad never been adopted by the Christians, and which was discarded for that of the 'earned Spaniard by the Jews thetnselv.

The New Testament wtts wot divided into v-9cs until after tha invention of the art of printing, by tho Roavcrt Stephens Ortek edition in 155 Of tin? early translation of the Bible the mont important, aside from the Sept-uagim ars. the St. Jerome versions, ace the threefold Iyptlaa translation ot the fourth century. This remarkable work of the copyist was iu three languages, and was intended for all parte of Egypt: the Vcrsio Figurata, collated by Jacob, of Edessa, in the eighth century; that of Paul, bishop of Tela, in 817. aud the eighth, ninth and tenth century translations, made respectively by Bedo, Alfred and Etfric.

During the dark ages, and on down to the time Luther gave his masterpiece to the world, several translations were made, including that of Notker-Labeo, 980 A. D. that prepared under the supervision of Petrua "Waklus. 1170; the important work of Louis the Pious, 1237; that of Charles the Wise, 1S80; the Guyars version of 12S8; the thirteenth century version in Spanish during the reign of Alphonso and the two excellent work3 of Wickliffe and Huss, the latter for the Bohemians and the former for the English speaking people. With the invention of printing every person who had ever laid claim to literary abilities seemed to think that he had been specially commissioned from on aigh to retranslate the Word of God, as one would naturally infer from the fact that not less than seventeen German translations alone were given the public between tho time of Guttenberg and Faust asd that of Martin Luther.

The early printed editions of the Bible remind one of what the philosopher said about the human frame they were "curiously and wonderfully made. The Wickliffe (sometimes spelled Wvcliffe) version of 1384 was the first Lnglish translation. Jolin Wickliffe, the translator, was condemned to be burned fox presuming to do such a thing without Ihe consent of the clergy, but was finally allowed to die a natural death. flu Bible was never printed; however, there are manv manuscript copies of it.

Tunis Way had a very serious spell of la gripp or diptheria last week. We learu that Mr. Wm. Clem has been down with pneumonia. The severe blizzard Sunday evening caught a large number of persons from home who had went out early in the day to take Christmas with friends.

Many-did not, get home till Tuesday. Our old friend Jack Lee reports a rough experience he had in the blizzard last Sunday evening. Ho faced it for thirteen miles and very frequently the flying snow would blind him till he could not see his way before him. -Occasionally his horses would run into a drift and both would fall and then he would have to get out and tramp a road out. Once he got a half mile off the road and finding a house had to "enquire where he wasat." KELSO.
