THE NINETIErH PsALA.-The Goth Psalm
might be cited as perhaps the most sublime of
human conceptiOns-the deepest in feeling
oTtiest in theological conception-the most
magnificent in imagery. True is 1t in its re-
port of human life, as troubled. transitory and
sinful; true in its conceptions of the Eternal
the Sovereign and the Judge; and yet the hope
and refuge of men, who, notwithstanding the
most severe trials of their faith, lose not their
confidence in Him; but who, in the 6rmness OF
their faith, pray for, as ifthey were predicting,
q near-at-hand season of reireshment. Wrap
ped, one might say, in mystery, until the dis
tant day of revelation should come, there is
here conveyed the doctrine of mortality; for
in this very plant of the brevity of the life ol
man, and of the sadness of these, his few years
OF trouble, ard their brevity and their gloom
there is brought into contrast the Divine i'm
mutabiIity; and yet it is in terms of submis
sive piety; the thought of a life eternal is here
in embryo. No taint is there in this Psalm oil
the pride and petalanee-the half uttered bias
phemy--the disputing or arraignment o.
the Justice or goodness Of God-which have SC
often shed venomous luster upon the language
ol those who have writhed in anguish, person
al or relative. There are few, probably among
those who have stood the helpless spectators o.
the miseries of others, that have not fallen in
to moods of mind violently in contrast with
the devout and hopeful melancholy which
breathes throughout this ode.
Rightly attributed TO the Hebrew lawgivel
or not, it bespeakS its remote antiquity, moi
merely by the majestic simplicity Of its style
but negatively, by the entire avoidance of those
sophisticated turns of thought which belong
to late-a last age in a peoples moral anG
intellectual history. This Psalm, undoubtedly
is centuries older than the moralizing of thai
time when the Jewish mind had listened t.
what it could never bring into true aEsimila
tion with lis own mind--the distractions o.
the Greek philosophy.-['Faylors Spirit o

To Farmers.

The cultivation of Flax as a prof
liable crop for the farmer, at no pc
riod has appeared as fattering as at
the present time, when both seed
and staple command highly remun-
erative prices.
The flax plant adapts itself to a
wide range of soils, sands, sandy
loans, gravels, marls, reclaimed
marsh lands, and alluvial soils; all
will, by proper tillage, produce a
crop. Deep ploughing, thorough
narrowing and pulverizing the earth
before sowing, are essential. The
seed should be but lightly covered
and wet subsoils avoided.
The impression entertained by
many, that a crop of fax impoverish-
es the soil upon which it grows can
not be sustained; by chemical tests
this is clearly shown to be erroneous.
DR.. Ure, by experiment, proves that
less than two dollars per acre ex-
pended in proper fertilizers, will
fully restore the land to its origion-
al productiveness, and this expense
may be wholly avoided by proper
rotation of crops.
An additional advantage in the
culture of this crop is the prepara-
ton of the soil for crop Of wheat.
While absorbing comparatively no
thing essential to the growth of
wheat, it contributes materially to
the condition of lands as an open
fallow.
Where the seed only is an object
to the grower it may be harvested
with a machine or sythe, in which
case J a bushel per acre may be
sown; where the staple or fibre is
esteemed most highly, : of a bushel
per acre will be required but in
most cases the seed and fibre both
should be preserved. The best flax
is obtained from thick growth of
slender stalks.
The time for gathering is indica-
ted by the leaves beginning to drop
and the appearance Of the seed bolls,
which, upon, being cut open, should
appear firm and the seed of brown
ish color; the crop should then be
harvested, and, if possible, housed
without rain upon it, otherwise the
seed shells freely and is wasted in
handling.
The fibre may be materially in.
jured by not being pulled in. season,
a second growth taking place, which
is indicated by the stalk assuming
green color.

UUwRTTTEN PoETRY.-Far down in the
depths of the human heart there is a fountain
of pure end haIlowed feeling. from which, at
times, swell up tide of emotions which words
are Powerless 10 express-which the soul alone
can appreciate. Full many hearts overflow
ing with sublime thoughts and holy imaginings,
need but the "pen of FIRE" to hold enraptured
thousands in its spell. The "thOughts that
breathe" are there but not the words tha!
burn" Natures own inspiration fills the heart
with emotions too deep for utterance, and with
the poetry of the heart lies forever concealed
in its own mysterious shrine.
Unwritten poetry 1t is stamped upon the
broad blue sky, it wrinkles in every star. 1:
mingIes in the oceans surge, and glitters iD the
dew drop that gems the lilly's bell 1t glows
in the gorgeous colors Of the West at the de-
clire of day, and rests in the blackened crest oi
the gathering storm cloud. 1t is on the noun
tains height, and in the cataract's roar-ir
the towering oak, and in the tiny flower
Where we can see the hand Of God, there
beauty finds her dwelling place.

upon examination, that we had set

Foot Rot in Sheep.

Much has been written on this
subject, and it would seem that all
might know how to cure it; but l
find many yet ignorant, and wish to
know. Some think if they get
the right medicine it could be done
some one thing, some another
My belief is, that all the different
kinds of medicines now used are e.
qually good, but the way to apply
it, and the season, is the secret. Any
time when the ground is dry is the
time. Trim their feet, and not spare
the knife on the diseased feet then,
with quill dipped in butter of An
tlmony, apply it to every foot. Be-
fore letting the sheep go, apply
little tar to each foot. Do this three
times in twelve days; and if you have
been thorough cure is complete;
if not, try again. An acquaintance
of mine told me last summer he had
tried my way and it did no good.
l inquired if he had applied the med
icine on every foot. He said he did
not-only to those diseased. in
formed him that my opinion was that
he might doctor his sheep that way
until he was old as Methuselah, if he
and his sheep would live so long,
and then have lame sheep left for
his children. A friend of mine ap-
piled the Anthony through a quill
sticking through a cork. The CON
sequence was that he got it all O.
yer his hand and laid him up for a
week.-C. Dunbar, in Ohio Farmer.

STRONG Strength Of charac-
ter consists of two things-power Of will and
power of selErestraint. 1t requires two things
therefore, for its existeBce-stroBg feelings and
strong command over them. Now it is here we
make great mistake; we mistake strong feel
ing for strong character. A man who bears
all before him, before whose frown domestics
tremble, ard whose burst of fury make the
children OF the household quake because he
has his will obeyed, and his own way in all
things, we call him strong man. The truth
is, that he is the weak man. 1t is his passions
that are strong he, mastered by them is
weak. You must measure the strength by
the power of feeling he subdues, not by the
power of those which subdue him-and hence
composure is very often the highest result ol
strength.
Did you never see man receive fragrant
insul:, and only grow a little pale, and then
reply quietly? This is a man spiritually
strong. Or did you never see man in an
guish stand as il carved out of solid rock
mastering himself? Or one bearing hope
less daily trial remain SILENT and nevet tell the
world what cankered his home peace? Or
who, with strong passions, remained chaste p
That is strength be who, keenly sensitive
with manly powers Of Indignation in him, can
be provoked and yet retain himself and Tor

heroes.-Rev. F. W. Robertson.

Stand by the Flag,

The following noble words, conjuring the
American people to forget party striies and
chickering's. and rally around their coHutFy's
Hag-words written during the last war with
England, by Washington Irving, will find
ready echo in every patriotic heart:
whatever we may think of the expedi-
eney or inexpedieney of the present war, we
cannot feel Indifferent to its operations
Whenever our arms come in competition with
those of the enemy. jealousy for our country s
honor will swallow up every other eonsdera-
ton our feelings will ever accompany the flag
of our country 10 battle, rejoicing in its glory,
lamenting over its defeat for there is such
thing as releasing ourselves from the consa-
quences of the contest. He who fancies he
can stand aloof 10 interest, and by condemn
ing the present war can exonerate himself
| from the shame of its disasters, is wefully mis-
taken. Other nations will not trouble them
selves about our internal wranglings and party
questions. They will not ask who among US
fought, but hoU We fought. The disgrace OF
defeat will not be confined to the contrivers of
the war, or the party in power, or the conduc-
tors OF the battle, but will extend to the whole
nation aud come home to every individual. =
If the name of America is to be rendered hon
orabe in the fight. we shall each participate in
the honor if otherwise, we must inevitably
support our share Of the ignomiDy."

that as to an Union with the Confederacy
