PSALMS OF DAVID The following elo- quent extract is from a late lecture by Henry Giles, on the Psalms of Dayld;
 Great has been their power in the world. They resounded amidst the court of the ta- bernacle they foated through the lofty and solemn space Of the temple. They were sung with glory inlhe Halls of Zion ; they were sung with sorrow by the streams of Babylon. And when Israel had passed away, the harp of David was still awakened ln the Church of Christ. In all the ears and ages of that Church, from the hymn which 1t first whispered, in an upper chambev, until it's anthems filled the earth. the inspiration of the royal prophet has enraptured is devotions and ennobled it's rituals. Chorused by the winds of heaven, they have swelled throughout Gods own on the sky and stars they have rolled over the broad desert of Asia, in the maths and vespers of ten thousand hermts. They have rung through the deep valleys of the Alps, in the sohbing voices of the forlorn Waldenses through the deeps and caves of the Scottish High lands, in the rude chanting of the Scottish Covananters; through the woods and wilds of primitive America. in the heroic halle- lujahs of princely pilgrims.

A BEAurIruL ExrRAcr.-The follow ing paragraph is from the Wisconsin Far mer.
 To the majority of men we are satisfied that the soil Is nothing but drt but to the chemist vho knows it's origin it's nature and its capabilities. il is wonderful mix ture of those beautiful clements, which in their ever varying forms become the ambi- ent air, the liquid ocean, Inc precious opal, the e.ametyst, and jasper and the still more precious diamond or the delicate blue bell and the violet, the amaranlh, the lily and the rose-b bud, the spear of the blue grass and the cedar of Lebanon or again the ruby-lp, the love-lit eye, tie noble, palpi- tating heart. and yet more wonderful brain These are jewels of which the soil is com posed. and out of which the husbandman so unheedingly strives to force the food hunger crayes. Henceforth, as he turns the furrow of the field, let tbe sleep of his thoughts be broken by the reflection, this earth thus sturred up by my ploughshare, is doubtless composed in part of the ashes of ancestral heroes whose deeds, are the history of the past, and whose mortal re- mains are the plastic material out of which we are building the bodies of men to-day.

How THE BEAN CLIMBS THE POLE Prof. Brewer, of Washington College Pa, communicates to the .americdp Jour nal of Science and .7rts the result of some experiments made by him on climbing vines--the hop, the Lima bean, and the Morning Glory. He finds that they vii climb around a transparent glass pipe jus as well as anything else, and that they are most ardent in their embraces wher the pole is warmer than the surrounding air. During the day, the vine is attracted towards the light; but at night, and espe- ciaily on cool nights, 1t turns to the pole He learned, also, that the color of the pole makes no difference: the caressing instinc of the vine has no prejudice against any shade. The element of constancy Is very largely developed; the vine, after it hai reached it's pole, showing much stronge tendency to wind around it, than it dit before to reach it.
