THE 100TH PsALM.-Tbe long dispu-

was the author Of the grand music Of the
Old Hundredt!l has been set at rest By a
discovery made a few dayssince in Lincoln

and Handel in 1919. But in the Cathe-

RAscALITY ABoUNDING.-The Gospel
is preached to the people regularly, all
over our country-religious papers and
magazines, are circulated in families, and
many valuable persons set good examples
before the world--but, notwithstanding all
this and more, observation teaches us that
raseality abounds In all classes of society.
Petty thefts are daily committed as
robbing money drawers, stealing clothes,
and dry goods, chickens, ducks, corn, and
ether eatables Strollipg vagabonds, deal
ing in counterfeit money, and diseased
horses, are all over the country. Gam
blers. travelling ard local, and resident
roeues. are all on the alert Pious vii
lians. with faces as sanctIfed as the moral
law, are keeping false accounts and swear
ing to them, for the sake of gain Whis-
key shops are selling by the small, in yio-
lation of law Drug Stores are training up
<lrunkards IN high life, and afording facili-
ties for .So6tata drinking, which can be
had no where else The rich are oppres-
sing the poor, and the poor are content to
hive in rags and idleness- Country dealers
In produce come to town and exact two
prices for al they have to sell, and the
owners of real estate In towns are asking
double rents, to the injury Of business, and
the growth of towns. Banks and Corpora
tions, intended for the public good, have
their faxorites, and are partial to the dis
tribution of favors Families persecute
and envy each other individuals SLAM
der their letters. Persons of low origin
put on airs, and falsely pretend to be more
than they are. Cheating and misrepre-
sentatious are the order Of the day gene
rally. Il politics, there IS very little pat
riotisIn or love Of country, while dena-
eogues seek to inislead, and build up their
own fortunes at the hazard Of running the
country. IN religion, there is more hy-
pocrisy than grace, and the biggest scoun-
drels living, crowd into tie Church, with
view TO cloak their rascal!y designs, and
more effectually 70 serve the Devil
In :. word. rssoality abou4cs, among all
classes and in all countries The Devil IS
stalking abroad in open daylight, without
the p-eeausiorl to dress himself And II
the present generation Of nlen could see
themselves IA the Gospel Glass, they are as
black as Eeii.

ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-The light Of the
lamp was dying away in the socket; the
midnight clock swung heavily aloft, and
its brazen tones sounded loudly on the fro
zen air. 1t was the hour when disembod-
led spirits walk, and when murderers, Ike
the stealthy wolf, prowl for their prey.
The lonely watcher shuddered as he heard
slight noise at the door. Big drops stood
upon his pale brow, the door gently opened
