They increased their exports of produce, decreased their imports of luxuries, and made on the farm so many things they had previously bought outside that not only did they pay the interest regularly to the old people, but also waxed so rich that they agreed to "take up the principal" themselves, and keep the interest circulating among them instead of sending it away. They lived very happily all the rest of their iiveu, but never could be persuaded to SEEK AWOTHEE I/O AW. INTERESTING DISCOVERIES. The recent discovery in the convent of Mount Alhos of a portion of one of btß Epistles in the hundwiiling of the Apostle Paul, bcs been followed, according (o (he Bfory ..vthich has just reached us from Constantinople, by tbe disooyeiy of>a.n entire Epistle of St. Peter iv the handwriting of tbelutter. The Jewish journal, El Sabaolh, publishedin the capital ,of Tuikey, thus narrates, the discovery i— "ln o sort of cave near Jerusalem, there lived for. years.- a -poor ;old man named ;Core,-who appeared to \be in very indigent circumstances. He recently died in his cave, at the age o( 109 years, end the peiquisitioa which wus mudo in his retreat, brought to light a great quantity of coins, makiug up a value of some 200,000 irancß, and an old cashmere shawl, ia which were wrapped up various papers, attesting the origin of tho poor old fellow, and proving him to have belonged to a wealthy family of {Stockholm. Besides the money and the papers there wus found in the cave a voluminous roll. of p. pjrus enveloped in a piece of green silk so retteu with age that U dropped to pieces on being touched. The papyrus contained, ia beautifully formed Hebrew letters, the following words :— 'Peter, fishermao, disciple of Jesus, Son of God, andcontiuatorof Hie work, speaks to the peoples of the eanh who barken to the word of tbe Lord, according to the love of God and iv His holy uame.'" It .appears that .the. manuscript; is signed in the lollowing original Btyle: — ' jl, Peter, fiebermar, in the name of Jesus, bave fioiahed writipg the word of love to the 50th year of my age, at the thirJ Easter afler the deaih of u>y Lord." The le irned rabbis of Jerusalem have come to tbe conclusion that it is impossible for an author of modern days to write the ancient Hebrew witb suih easy fluency, with so thorough a know-, lodge of the meaning of ctriuin words, and with the archism of style recalling the characteristics of the best «ges of Hebrew literature, and that the new ly discovered papyrus -must therefore be considered as dati.ng frooi a period as ancient. as the life of the apostle.- But is this ancient papyrus really, a writing of the Apostle Peter ? The London Bible Society, consulted on this subject, at once sent out a committee to study the,- matter pn '{he spot; and .this conamittea, after a lopg and careful examination, has pronounced in favour of the antiquity of the manuscript, which it accepts as being really the work of the Apostle Peter.
