The Book OF PsALMs.-Thougb the
unity OF the same spirit is to be seen thro'-
out the whole body of the Holy Scrip
lures. 1t must yet be acknowledged, there
is IN the book of Psalms an Individual
grace, and character which belongs to it
IN particular. No one can study it, with.
out finding in it all the divers passions
with which he may be agitated, ali the va
rylng lncllnations, and also the means of
calming the one, and appeasing the other.
The other books of the Old Testament
show US, IN some. the good that is to be
Initiated and the evil that is to be avoided ):
IN others, the prophecies concerning the
coming of the Savior; in others the lives
and actions of kings and holy personae-
es. But the Psalms, whilst they at
the same time do not omit these things.
teach US moreover to become acquainted
with ourselves, and to find remedy for
the spiritual naladies, with which we
may be afflicted, Other books tell US that
we must be penitent, subject to Affections,
and render thanks to God. This teaches
US how to humble ourselves, Show to con-
duct ourselves under calamity, and how to
express our gratitude. Elsewhere. it is
the example of others that is proposed
tor our imitation; here we identify our
selves with the sacred author, and study
our own history. This single volume is
sufficient for al the necessities of the hu-
man heart; there is no situation in life in
which we may not draw from it the most
precious advantages. Whether we are
tried by temptation or by adversely, ex-
posed to danger, or saved from peril, in
sorrow or in joy, the Psalms still furnish
wherewlth to console and fortifv US
Ihey supply US abundantly with the Ian
guage OF prayer, praise, blessing, and
'hanksglvlng-and all the virtues, graces.
ana duties Of which Jesus Christ gave US
the example, when he came on earth. are
taught US in this book, with which he
vouchsafed to enlighten US before his
coming. -Atbanasius.

The EXERCISE OF GRACIOUS AFFEc-
TIoNs.-As sin is increased in the soul
by the frequent actlngs of it, so grace is
nourished and siren gthened in the soul by
It's frequent actions. The exercise of
grace is always attended with the increase
of grace, Prov x. 4: The diligent
hand maketh rich or, the nimbfe hand,
the hand that is active and agile, that will
see nothing lost for looking after-lhat
hand maketh rich. Ruth il. How did
Boaz follow the business himself? His
eyes were In every corner, on the serv.
ants, and on the reapers, yea, on the olean.

II is recorded of Severus, that his care
was not to look what men said of him. or
how they censured him, but to look what
was to be done by him. He will rise in
Judgment against those professors that
look more at what this man and the other
man said of them, than what is to be
done by them. The heart of christian
is to be taken up with what is to be done
by him. and not with what this man thinks
or the other Judges of him.
Pacunius hath an elegant saying [

In another column will be seen the call OF u
meeting for the purpose OF reyiying The Ottawa
Lyceum, to whic we ask attention. As the in
yitation extends to all our citizens it is hoped
there will be full meeting. In almost every
town or little village around us we see That assoc
Citations of this kind have already been formed for
the coming winter and it certainly implies no We
~ credtabIc remissness on our part that we have
none yet formed in this place. There can be
no doubt as to the beneficial results of associations
Of this kind. Besides the infinite amount of in
struction that must always flow from them, they
afford great deal of amusement and real plea

other-the natural sympathies and purest feelings
Of the heart must be awakened, and our citizens
linkrd together by one common, mysterious bond
Of union and friendship, that must have in its
train the most salutary results. Such being the
case, we see no reason why we should not all
attend the meeting on Monday evening, and ex-

So far rs the State Bank is concerned, she

on Monday last, the payment of all her

1t possible that the constituents Of these
whig members will Justify this attempt to
subvort the Legislature Where will all
this end ! If members are justified, on
one pretence, in leaving the General As

on any other! And would not the con-
