If Heaven is mortgaged to the faints it will be no bar to foreclosure and possession that the Saints' ancestors had hair all over their bodies ; that they made the pre-historlc jungles ot the hastern world hideous with their chatterings, and that they had no higher intellectual pastime than occasionally hanging by their tails from the top Of the loftiest trees.

The New York Tribune re marks that "the readiest way for a mediocre man to get notoriety is for him to proclaim himself an infidel and attack the Bible.

Date of the Ciujcifixion. Herr Kalb, the German savant, in a work recently published, shows that there was a total eclipse of the moon concomitantly with the earth quake that occurred when Julius Ciesar was assassinated, on the 15th of March, B. C. 4-1.,- He also calcu lated the Jewish calander to A. D, 41, and the result of his re searches fully confirms the facts re corded by the Evangelists of the wonderful physical events that ac companied the crucifixion. Astro nomical calculations prove, without doubt, that on the 14th day of the Jewish month Nisan (April G), there was a total eclipse of the sun, which was accompanied in all prot ability' by the earthquake, " when the veil of the Temple was rent from tho top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rock rent. (Mathew xxxii, 51). While St. Luke de scribed the eclipse in these words: "And it was the sixth hour (12 noon), and there was darkness over all the land till the ninth hour (3 o'clock p. m.), and the sun was darkened." , (Luke xxxii., 44) This mode of reckoning "corresponds per fectly with the resnltof another cal culation our author made by reckon ing backward from the great total eclipse of April, 1818, allowing foT the difference between the old and new styles, which also gives April 6, as to the date of the new moon in the year A. D. 31. As the vernal equinox of the year fell on March 25, and the Jews ate their Easter Lamb, and celebrated their Frib Pessah, or Feast of the Passover, Lon the following new moon, it; is clear .April 6 was identified with Nisan 14, of Jewish calender, which, moreover, was on Friday, ; the Paraskeivee, or day of preparation for the Sabbath, and this agrees with the Hebrew Talmud. Thus, by the, united testimony of astronomy, archaeology, traditional and Biblical history, there can be but little doubt that the date of the crucifixion was H April 6, AVD. 31, III .MOKOl'K.
