The Bible-A Beautiful Extract. The following is.axi extract from an address recently delivered by Dr. Berg, of Philadelphia: 'A. "We love tnis v Bibje V?6 t&d cbncei ve no severer calamity to the tace than to be de prived 'of Jis'para , morality lim'we- knowof no blacker gloom, even in fm agination, than that which pours its shadow over the soul when the weary spirit is breaking through the dissolving-walls pt its earthly house, unsolaced by this light ot 'm y Bible! Ohl horrid der privation! ':: Then U the world one grand en igma-a tangled tissue: : of contradictions un answered and irreconcilable. v ; I see the flowers f springing from the warm bosom of the earth, ana lining tneiri meeK - eyes .towaras neaven, and I say surely th ere is a God, and the frag rance is earth's incense-of praise! Lhear the birds singing among the branches, happy and free, rejoicing in the pure air and sunlight of the.bright heaven, and T say surely, there; is a God,' and. this" music is nature's anthem of thanksgiviiig! I look out upon -the furrowed field, and the!springing corn smiles its bleing upon the God who sends' the soft showers in their season; l I see the joy of the harvest, and the golden sheaves praise him,;; and the fruitful trees praise him, and in full concert all his works' declare that be. is good. But I hear a cry of anguish; it is the moaning of an in-, fant gasping jin its mother's arms. I see it pale and quivering in its agony; I hear the. wail of son ow which woman alone can utter," as she bows over the dead whom she ' has borne. Tbisjworld, what is it? A wilderness of graves! ' A mighty charnel-house! from which groans Ot pam and sorrow; are forever rising' to the heavens; and Task, is this world governed by one Gocl who is good and another that is evil? i Wretched man that I am! How shall I oppose the wrath of the malignant be- mg wno wars constantly against human hap piness, and finally., prevails .so that men die: and dying1 shall they never live again? What answer shall I-cnve?, ' Shall they live'ajrainf And If thfir fln wi l that. 1 fU a MpiiiVir nr a curse? ' What can I say? ' there is no BibleffP1 in the pages of this work. Shotrld your And every grave confounds rae; the joys of me perpjex mey its sorrows aepress me, i am afraid t to live,' I dare not die! Ohr what can I do without the Bible? What ean I know without itr that shall still the eager question ing of the restless, deathless spirit that is-beat ing like a' caged bird : against these earthen walls, struggling after the purer, wider range of . i . I ' n T 1 ' i . ' lis immortal spneres i Know Dotning, ex cept that I am a child of sorrow and an heir of death. I can do nothing bat regret my existence, ana su omit to my latel ; o says the inhdel. But not so the christian. This world is no enigma to hi nr. ' He cannot ex plain every detail, but he1 can see a glorious harmony between the operations of Provi dence and the testimony of the Bible. . He knows that God is good. , He knows ,that God is holy, that moral law has its penalty for transgression, as surely as natural laws- have theirs; arid therefore he knows there- will be sorrow where there is sin. But- then, he learns that this is not remediless. Christ has repaired the ruin and, provided the remedy. It is faith in him as the author of a hew life. that is mightier thanhe power of death. It is faith which binds the soul 'to Christ, and raises it through all these scenes of sorrow to the joys of the heavenly lnhenlatice. Let us cherish this Bible! Let us read its words, pure as silver refined. Its1 precepts are ap- ,e3 of Tq keepi thefe . fl -fa ov3t . T.t vti-n; t i iiiuuiiie i&uai .u iii iva X4 iy t ri v u i ble, and the Bible will keep America; it will be the; salt of divine truth that shall rectify the tendencies to moral corruption, whether in the family, in society v or in civil govern ment., It shall save the land from infidel li- centiousness ana misrule r ivememijer that God no sooner caused any part of his will or word to be written, than he also commanded the same to be read, not only in the family, but also in the congregation, "that they, might hear, and that they , might learn t and fear the Lord their God, and observe to do all the words of his law l Deendprotect and. love the Bible' aad the God of the Bible willcause his presence-to be 3'our glory; and .upon, that gioryj snail oe ine aerence oi iiis own Aimigmy arm I God grant to yoor all theiblessihgs pro mised in his Word to them? that love his truth, l I C' - ii i ; .1 i . e ' i t ' t, t ! t. 4 and ever save "our country from the. blasting mildew of infidel folly and falsehwd,; 4 ' FROM THE DAILY CAROLINA:?. ;. . i Tlie Battle iii the Baric. Tliefe is nothing new from, the Danube, so far as the relative position of the two armies is concerned. Operations, of magnitude are retarded iy the bad weather; but a constant succession of minor encounters" are reported. In almost all these conflicts the - Turks are ag- gressore; and generally come off victors. From all inajeauons, nowever, ,uje rvussians, siowiy as they move, are preparing for a grand stroke. On the 7th of x edruary a cctinict took place by mistake between two columns of the Kus- sian army The Turkish positions are extended in an' easterly direction a, far as the village of Cuiperceni; winch is about a mile distant from Kalafat. For several days a..

Be'this as it may, the latter column, ia tho obcarity of a 'foggy night, concluded the former one to be a body of hostile Turks," and instantly opened upon them a terrific can nonade, which the others, who labored under the same mistake returned tvitH yet more deadly effect. Pressing toWjards each other, it came ere long to a close fire of small arms. This ill-omened cotnhat lasted for in hour and a half, until,' when day dawned the combat ants sawjwith horror; the error they had com mitted". The loss in killed and Wounded, in th course of this night's - encounter, is reckoned by the- Russians themselves. at aeTeral, hun dreds.
