'OLD HUNDRED"

In a rustic church opposite, while We
write, a company of worshippers are
singing the old hymn .'Be thou, o God
exalted high" The air is also old, the
immortal cold Hundred
If it be true that Luther composed
that tune, and if the worship of mortals
is carried on the wings of angels to heav.

ton, "They are singing old Hundred,

The solemn strain carries us back to

his devoted band. He, doubtless, was

From his stentorian lungs they rolled,

his own sublime faith, and stamped it
with that faiths Immortality. Hence it
cannot die! Neither men nor angels will
let it pass into oblivion.
The blue eyed girls of the old "fader
land" sang those same strains with all
the enthusiasm of a new and holier re
ligion. They had been bound down TO
priest, prayer-bOOk and rosary. They
had raised adoring eyes to the spangled
image of the Virgin, and bent uRblush-

into the ears of the father confessor,
whom they feared. son etimes, more
than they feared God. But Luther, in
the face of the fathers, had thrown down
his rosary and refused to acknowledge
any intercessor save Christ. Luther had,
as it were, hailed his anathema over the
openings of the confessional. Luther
had laughed to scorn the holy relics,

eloquence, denounced their sensuality

BREACH OF PROMISE.
BY A RETIRED ATTORNEY,

ais il possible? Rose Leavinw exclaim
ed |, as saw lady, whom recognized
as one of the beautiful heiresses of Bos-
ion, enter my Office.
'l dare say you are surprised; but my
business is of strictly legal character;
SO you need not waste any exclamations
upon the event."
Rose Leavitt was beauty and an heir
ess, but she was strange girl for all
that.
Her father had died when she was
about sixteen, leaving something like a
million TO be divided between her and
two brothers. Charles and Henry Leav-
lit were much older than she, and both
of them had long been settled down as
quiet, orderly business men. They were
respectable, in the fullest sense of the
word, and were never known to be erratic
in the slightest particular.
Rose seemed 10 be cast in another en-.
iirely different mould from that in which
they had been formed. At school she
had been so wild, that neither master nor
mistress could control her. She would
have her own way-a peculiarly to
which am sorry 10 say very many
young ladies are addicted.
For the proprieties of life-I mean for
those set formalities of life, which pass as
such in the world of fashion-she had
sovereign contempt. She hated dandies,
hated bellies, hated pianos, music books,
French and German methods" in effect
she seemed strikingly disposed TO live out
her existence after the dictates of her own
sancy. or her caprices, as the reader NAV
choose to regard it. She passed into her
twenty-frst year without having done
anything to call the attention of the world
at large TO her. Her whims had only
been manifested in the school.room. or
at the hon,e of her eldest brother. with
whom she resided.

WRIST PARALYSIS IN A COMPOST.
TOR FROM LEAD POISONING.

Braithwaite's Retrospect of Practical
Medicine and Surgery. in its last mum.
ber. gives the particulars of a case OF
lead poisoning which is interesting to
printers. A compositor who had preyi-
ously enjoyed good health, had been for
about week using new type. which,
from the sharpness of its edges, had
worn the skin off the extremes of his
fingers of his right hand. Two days
before his resort to medical treatment
he began 10 loose the power OF his right
wrist. and at the erd of two days the
paralysis was complete. From the local
application of the poison and the local
limitation of its results, the ply sician de-
termined to treat it locally; and bearing
in mind the strong affinity of sulphur
for lead, the ease with which the salts
of lead are decomposed by sulphurets,
and the facility with which the skin both
absorbs and envelopes sulphur, he de-
termined to conGne his treatment to soak
ing the hand and wrist in solution Of
sulphuret of potassium and thus to elm
mate the lead. The solution was made
of the strength of one ounce of sulphuret
of potassium to ten ounces of water, and
the patient ordered to keep his hand in it
for three hours at time thrice in twenty
four hours-the solution to be tepid.
No other treatment was adopted, and
the patient left the hospital well.

THE GAME OF CHECKERS.

"Aunt Molly" said Fanny Osborne,
one evening, did you ever hear any one
pop the question:"
"Why, certainly, child, heard your
uncle Charlie pop it, as you call it."
"oh yes, of course, +" said Fanny, "but
one doesn't often tell their own expert
ence. 1 mean, did you ever hear any
one else?"
"Well, yes," replied Aunt Molly, {,
slowly, 81 did happen to once"
80 please tell me about it," cried Fan

in the wall, on such an occasion.
Fanny was just turned of fifteen, and
it was very natural that she should want
to be posted.
Every well," said Aunt Molly, "get
your work then for l don't like TO talk to
an idle listener"
Fanny established herself, and Aunt
Molly began. at was about ten years
after was married, and house keeping,
that cousin Will Morris, uncle Benja-
minis son, came to live with us; that is
he was partner in your uncle Charles
store, and boarded with US. You never
saw Will, did you?"
Fanny nodded her head, and Aunt
Molly went on. "He was whole soul
ed straight forward, substantial young
man, uot lacking in polish either; but
very bashful, so much so, that used to
really pity him sometimes, when we had
young company. Annie Evans was an
old school-mate of mine, and just after I
went to housekeeping. her parents NOV
ed TO Oxford, and lived only short dis
tance from us. Annie used frequently
to bring her work, and spend the even
ing with me, and uncle Charlie would go
home with her. Those were rare times,
Fanny, and we enjoyed them fully
Annie was real woman; none of your
nonsensical, love-sick girls, whose heads
are so full of beaux that they wont hold
anything else.
Fanny blushed as Aunt Molly said
this, but Aunty looked very demure, and
continued; "and knowing her, and lov-
ing her as 1 did, felt particularly sn1i
ious that she should be well settled in
life."
That means, with good husband"
remarked Fanny, rOguishly.
Certainly" said Aunt Molly; "and
after Will came, and 1 became acquaint-
ed with him, 1 took it into my head that
he and Annie would wake a capital
match. But, somehow, after he came.
Annie did not come SO often; and Will,
who was so very entertaining in his con-
versation when we were alone, in her
presence, was silent, and awkward in his
manner, as if under restraint: and Annie
took but little notice of him, only as far
as politeness required, and requested me
privately to arrange it, that Uncle Char
lie should still go home with her, that is,
if he had no objections. So the young
peoples acquaintance progressed slowly.

"How much will buy you off, Mr..

"Well, sir | do not wish to prosecute

claim upon the lady is good?"
"Undoubtedly."

for that matter he had admired her from

"How did you know that? Amt Mol

Molly. "and Annie did not help the mat

was nothing in her manner that betrayed

Well, one evening, Annie had been

Will rose hastily, dropped the board
the checkers ran all over the floor, and
taking Annie by the hand, led her to me

Certainly, WILL" I replied, "and
congratulate you most sincerely, and

state, and pick up these checkers l will

Will and Annie laughed heartily, and
began picking them up with alacrity,
and as Will took up the board to put il
away he remarked: "That was the pleas

my life."
Annie said nothing, but looked very

Molly, "are you satisfied"

"Old Hundred" Sinner and saint have

The dear little children, looking with

"Old Hundred" and as she sang it,
closed her eyes and seemed communing
with the angels who were soon to claim
her. He whose manhood was devoted
to the service of God, and he who with
faltering feet assembled the pulpit steps
with the white hand hand placed over
his laboring breast, loved '.Old Hun

ATTENTION TO DREss.-Appearances
should not be wholly beneath the con-
slider alton of any man or woman. Ma
ture docs not disdain them. Nothing is
omitted that can enhance its beauty.
Everything is grouped and arranged
with the most consumate skill, and with
the direct and manifest object ofpleasing
the exterior vision. Those persons,
therefore, who play the philosopher on
the strength of neglecting their sttire,
and hope thai the world will rate the
superiority Of their intellect in direct
ratio with the inferiority of their dress,
are not philosophers at all, because the
truly wise man thinks of nature through
himself.
