Tue WORD "SELAH"-The thought .ful
reader OF the Psalms cannot have failed
TO ask himself what the word 'Selah'
means. 1t is Hebrew word or sign,
which the translalors of the Bible have
been forced TO leave as they found it,
from their ignorance or disagreement as
TO its correct Specification. The Targum
and most OF the Jewish commentators
give to the word the meaning Of eternally
forever. Rabbi K!nchi regards it as n
sign to elevate the voice. The voice of
the Septuagint translation appears to
have regarded it as a musical or rythm
cal note Herner regards il as Indicating
y change of tone Malheson, as a musi,
cal note, equivalent, perhaps, to the word
repeat. According to Luther, and others,
Il is equivalent 10 the exclamation 81.

The fruit display, especially in apples, was
very fine.
There was large and choice display Of neat

Coon FOR ALBANr.--N is pleasant to know
that there is now and then a place in which po
litical differences do not make neighbors savages
nor destroy al the amenities of life. The Doug

The Giants paid all possible respect to their
opponents, while passing their several club
rooms. and the courtesy Of the Wide-Awakei
amply repaid them. It is gratifying to know
that, although differing so widely on the most
exciting topics of the day, the civilities of life
have not been lost sight of by either organiza
ton in Albany.
