The piece of armor denomina-
ted tho "Brigandine," in two places
in Jeremiah (xivi. 4; li. 8,) would
now lie described as a coat of mail.
Tho "Hroidered hair," inontioned
with disparagement in 1 Tim. ii. 9,
is just the braided hair of-' modern
toilet. The term "ceiling" is now
so constantly used to denote the
upper surface of an apartment that
one is apt to misa tho point of tho
reproach which the Prophet Ilag-
gai addressed to tho Jews when ho
demanded of them, "Is it time for
you to dwell in your caled houses
and this house lie wasteThe
oi'ilinf/ hero has no special reference
to what'wo should call by tho samo
term. The ceiled houses wore
what wo should describe as wains-
coted. The sin which Ilaggai re-
proved in tho people was not that
they enjoyed tho shelter of a roof
over their heads, but' that they
took caro to lodge in luxurious
splendor while the Lord's House
ay waste.
iSo long as we employ in daily
«peeeh such phrases W"u ileal of
- «-cnt donl-n^[r™'
it can hardly no-wiorti t nat tho rise
of tho word deal in tho sense of a
portion or part is obsolete. Yet
when one roads in tho law of the
daily sacrifice of "a tenth ileal of
Hour," tho notion is apt to bo taken
up that deal denoted a measure of
quantity among tho Hebrews,
whereas tho meaning of tho law of
Course is that "a tenth part of
flour" was to be tho moat offer-
ing, presented along with tho Ltitnb,
This lasaron or tithe, according to
the Soptuagint and Gesenius, was
the tonth part of tho ephali, which
again was tho tenth part of the
homer.
When tho disciples are said in
John iv. 8, to have gone into Nye-
har to buy meat, tho word is Used
to denote food in general, and is
not to bo understood as roforring
to animal food in particular—a
sense to which it is nowhere re-
stricted in tho Biblo. Tho sense
of the word meat is retained in
Scotland.
It is perhaps scarcely necessary
to note that in some two or three
texts iu the gospel the word rooms
is used in a senso which it no lon-
ger bears. Thus in Luke xiv. 7,
"llo marked how they chose out
tho chirf rooms" that is to st'ty, the
most honorable places. The word
still boars its ancient sense in tho
singular as in these phrases, "make
room for the stranger," "plenty of
room."
Of most importante is the word
eifriny-time, which . though, it oc-
curs but twice in tho Bible, is fa-
miliar to every oyé. Tho Mosaic
statute respecting the Sabbath re-
corded in tho thirty-fourth .chapter
of Exodus, contains tho words,
"In earing-timo -and in harvest
thou shalt rest." By the most or-
dinary roadors the word caring-
time is probably supposed to mean
tho time when the corn is in tho
car. This interpretation would,
however, destroy tho ioi'co of the
verso, as the time of tho car is not
of tho farmer's busy times. Ex-
cept in sound, there is no connec-
tion between the "cars" and the
"caring-tiine." Tho Hebrew word
thus translated denotes ploughing
to 'the time. What tho statute forbids is

tod worship of Gód, a rational and
spiritual Worship. Another verse
in tho Bible shares with that just
coinrnoivtod upon, the misfortune
of containing within its briof com-
pass two distinct words which have
forgotten their original moaning.
It is 1 Tim. v. 4, "If any widow
have children or nephews, let them
learn to show piety at home, and
requite their parents.'^ The neph-
ews here are plainly' grand-chil-
dren (nepotes in Latin.) Ifis cor-
tainly a curious change that has
passed on a word of so sharply de-
fined a meaning. Tho word cousin
has undergone a similar chango of
signification, being formerly used
as synonymous with kinsman, de-
noting simply a blood relation.—
The other term in the verso which
has. drifted from its old moorings,
is tho beautiful word piaty. It is
commonly used now to denote
godliness, but tho piety which
this verso inculcated on t4io sons
and grandsons is that which finds
its expression not in the keeping
up of family worship, but in min-
istering to tho widowed grand

ceeded to the Treasurer's olfice,
and demanded tho keys of tho

ceeded in making the General un-

<' Now, sir, your vault," said tho
imperious General.
Mr. .] onos—" There is tho State

Tho General proceeded to test
the accuracy of his newly acquired
knowledge of the combination key
and succeeded in turning the heavy
iron door upon its hinges, but the
State treasure j whore was it ?
Gen. Meade—"Tho vault looks
rather empty, Mr. Jones."
" Rather empty," dryly respond-
ed the Treasurer.
Gón. Meade—" Do I understand,
you to say, Mr. Jones, that the

replied the imperturbable Jones.

such conditions as the nation may

had occasion today elsewhere, it
is between -paramount; ideas,
each struggling for the supremacy.
One is, that the wall' to suppress
i jnst on
beis forfeited
States were without iftáto goverti-
■menta of any kind. The loyal
State governments existing at the
beginning of the war had been
overturned by the Rebels; the
Rebel State governments ereoted
during tho war had been' over,
turhod by our 'armies, aud at* the
end of the war there were no'gov-
ernments of any kind existing in
those States. This faet was rev
cognized distinctly by the Presi-
dent of the United States in his
proclamation Under which the
work of reconstruction Was com-
menced in Nbrth Carolina in 1805,
to which I beg leave to refer. Tho
others were more óopies of this
proclamation. In that proclama-
tion he says: .
«And whereas' the rebellion
which has been waged by a por-
tion of tho people of the United
States against thé pfoperly con-
stituted authorities of the Gov-
ernment thereof, in the most vio
lent and revolting form, bnt whose
organized and arnied forces have
how boon almost entirely over-
como, has1 in its revolutionary
progress deprived the people of the
jStato of North Carolina of all civ-
il government."
Here the Presidont must be al-
lowed to speak for his party, and
1 sfiall accept this as a proposition
agreed upon on bdth sides : that at
tho end of the war there were no
govornmetns of any kind existing
in these States. The fourth sec-
tion of the fourth article of the
Constitution declares that "the
United Statics shall guarantee to
every State in this Union.a repub-
lican form of government." This
provision contains a vast, unde-
fined power that has neVer yet been
ascertained—a great supervisory
power given to tho TTnitod States
to enable thom to keep tho States
in their orbits, to preservo them
from anarchy, revolution, and re
bélíion. Tho measures of power
thus conferred upon tbe Govern
ment of the United States can on<
ly bo determined by that which is
requisite to guarantee or maintain
in each State a legal and republi-
can form of jjovernment. What-
ever power, therefore, may be oec-
