\ 1t has been introduced in this section of the
country. The light produced is superior TO
that of coal gas, being clearer and more pow
erful, as the flame is of fuller volume and
burns with greater steadiness, while The ex-
pense is about the same as coal gas a. So, so

Of benzole, resinous liquid, sold al 81 so

gas being generated by means Of an ingeni-
ous and not inelegant al baraius, which may
stand in the house enirySSay, or even be
placed on closet shelf, and from which
! common gas fixtures may extend in all direc-
lions and give the light in any or every room
at pleasure. The apparatus generates ne
more gas than is Immediately consumed, and
requires for the purpose only the heat Of one
OF the burners used as lght-so that the
whole cost Of the gas is tha, of the apparatus
and the benzols.
An apparatus of sufficient capacity for a
good sized dwelling house i afforded for
$3.50. 1t is so constructed that, by means of
rotating air pump, which is revoved by
cord and weight wound up by crank,
stream Of air is forced into The generator,
which is partially filed with benzole. The
generator contains a vaporator exposing
large surface of benzoe to the action of the
air as the latter is forced through both apart
ments by the pump anil weight-and the
thus vapora,ed benzole combining with the
air, produces gas Of the highest quality for
illumination. The apparatus is so perfectly
simple, safe and durable, that it may be
managed by the dullest domestic, only re.

This beautiful invention was patented in

as one of the most u,ilitarian improvements
Of the time. applicable 10 houses, shops,

impatient TO see the iowr, bui fearful Of not
findIng his way back 10 the hotel, carefully
copied upon a card the name pointed upon
the wall at the corner Of the stree, in which
twas situated. This done he felt himself
safe, and set out for ranble, much upon
the principle vulgarly known as ''folowing
ones nose." The whole day long he siIolled
and started 10 his hearts content -wearied
at last, he jumped into cab, and with the
easy confident air of man who lelt at home,
he read from the card he had prudenlly pre-
served the name Of the street he dealt in.--
The cabmcn griDned horribly. "This Eng
lish pronunciation is sadly difficult" ssid
the Frenchman TO himself, che does moi un-
dcrstand me-" And he placed the card be-
fore the mans eye. Cabby grinned more
than ever, gazed in his fares asionished
face, and ended by sticking his hands in his
pockets, and roaring with laughter. - -.r-..
Indignation on The part of the foreigner
he appealed 10 the passers-by who gravely
lisiend TO him at first, bu, beholding bis card,
joined one and all in chorus with the coach
man. The Frenchman now got furious,
swore, stamped, gesticulateG like. a candi-
date for Bedlam. He went so far as 10
threaten the laughers crowd assembled
everybody sympaihsed with him till they
learned the circumstances OF the case, when
they joined in the infectious hilariiy. Up
came the police, those guardian angels of be
wilLered foreigners in London's labyrinth
The aggrieved Gaul fell sure of SYM
paihy, suecor, and revenge. He was never
more mistaken. ......N
The gentlemen in blue roared ike the
rest. They evidently could not help ill.,
Compunc,ion mingled with their mirlb, but
they nevertheless guTawed exceedingly
To what extremi,ies the desperate French
man might have proceeded il is impossible
to say, had not gentleman acquainted
with his language appeared upon the scene.
He TOO laughed violently on beholding the
card, and when he had spoken few words
to The Frenchman, the Frenchman laughed
likewise, which was signal for a recon-
mencement OF the general hiarlty. The ad-
dress so carefully copied by the foreigner at
the corner of the street was the following:

THE wORD"SELAH.D

The translators of the Bible have left the
Hebrew word Selah, which occurs SO often in
the Psalms, as they found it, and of course
the English reader often asks his minister, or
some learned friend, what it means. Aud
the minister or friend has most often been
obliged 10 confess ignorance, because il is
matter in regard TO which the most learned
have by no means been OF one mind. The
Targums and mos, oil the Jewish commenta-
tors give the word meaning eternally, forever.
Rabbi Kinchi regards il as sign TO elevate
the voice. The authors of The septuagint
translation appear to have regarded it as
musical sign, equivalent perhaps 10 the word
repeat. According to Luther and others, it
means silence !! Genius explains it 10 mean,
let the instrument play and the singers stop
Wochem regards ii as equivalent to sursum
corda, up my soul Summer, after examining
all The seventy.four passages in which the
word occurs, recognizes in every case ian
cac,ual appeal or summons to Jehovah."-
They are calls and prayers 10 be heard, ex-
pressed either with entire direcines., or if
not the imperative, "Hear, Jehovah :" or
"Awake, Jehovah ~ and the like still ear
mes, addresses to God that he would remem-
Der aud hear, &c. The word itself he re-
CARDS as bias, Of trumpels by the priests
Selah itself he thinks an abriged expression,
used for litigation Selah-higgaion indica-
ling the sound of the siringed instruments,
and Selah vigorous blast Of trumpets.-

INDIAN TuEOLoGy.

The precise idea which the western In
dians entertain of future life is this; As
soon as the Indian threw of the flesh, he
would find himself standing on the bank Of
the river, The current running with great ra-
pidity Across this river was slender pole
stripped Of its bark, and lying close down 10
the water. The Indian who had lived
good life, then sees bright object on the
other side; that was "Righ,.n He would
then, desirous Of embracing the object he
loved so well in the world, walk across the
pole, unminjful OF the raging torrent beneath
his feet, arriving in safety on the opposite
shore and Right would then lead him
amongst mouniains covered with gold and
silver, into noble hunting grounds, where he
would hun, for eternity. But, on the other
hand, the man who followed "Wrongn all
his life, when attempting 10 cross the pole,
after death, would fall into the foaming
stream, aud be swept down into a whirlpool
surrounded by rocks; there he would be car
ried round for many centuries, until, at last,
he would be gradually sucked in towards
the crntre of The vortex, and finally engul-
phed in an immense botiomless hole What
became of the unfortunate sinner, the ln-
dians could not sIrmise, further than he lived
forever.
