The following Bible ouriositiee are said to have been gained by a seedy of the good book beethe Prince of Granada, heir apparent to the Spanish throne, during his thirty-three yesra' imprisonment et the Place of Skulls Prison, Madrid : In the Bible the word Lord is found 1,853 times ; the word Jehovah 6,855 times, and rho word reverend bet once, and that in the ninth verse of the one hundred and eleventh Psalm. The eighth verse of the one hundred and eighteenth Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible. The ninth verse of the eighth chapter of Esther is the longest verse. The thirty-fifth verse, eleventh chapter of St. John, is the shortest. In the one hundred and seventh Psalm four verses are alike—the eighth, fifteenth, twenty-first and thirty.first. Each verse of the one hundred and thirty.six1h Psalm ends alike. No names or words tvitll more than six syllables are found in the Bible. The thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah and the nineteenth chapter of II Kings are alike. The word girl occurs but woe in the Bible, and that in the third verse and third chapter of Joel. There aro found in both books of the Bible 8,588,488 letters, 773,093 words, 81,378 verses, 1,189 chapters, and 66 boo ks. The twenty-sixth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles is the finest chapter to read The most beautiful chapter in the Bible is the twenty-third Psalm. The four most inspiring promises are John iv. 2 ; John vi. 87 ; Matthew xi. 28 ; and Psalms exxvii. 4. The first verse of the [sixtieth ohapter of Isaiah is the one far the new converts. All who flatter themselves with vain boastiugs of their perfection should learn the sixth chapter of Matthew. All humanity should learn the sixth chapter of St. Lake from the twentieth verse to its ending. William Gibson, 111. P., was elected President of the Hamilton Street Rail- way Go. A.
