= Prayer has drained seas, rolled up
flowing rivers, made ,finty rocks gush
into fountains, quenched flames of fire,
muzzled lions, disarmed vipers and poi
sons, marshaled the stars against the
wicked, stopped the course of the moon,
arrested the rapid sun in his great race,
burst open the iron gates, recalled souls
from eternity, conquered the strongest
devils, commanded legions of angels down
from heaven. Prayer has bridlcd and
chained the raging passions of man, and
routed and destroyed the armies Of proud,
daring and clustering atheists. Prayer
has brought one man from the bottom of
the sea, and carried another on chariot
of fire to Hoavcn. What has prayer not
done?
In one of William Wirts letters to
his daughter, occurs this beautiful passage
son the small, sweet courteses of life: :"
"I want to tell you q secret. The
way to make yourself pleasing to others
is to show them attention. Tho whole
world is like the miller at Mansfield
"who cared for nobody; no, not he, be-
cause nobody cared for him." And the
whole world would serve you so, if you
gave them the same cause. Let every
one, therefore, see that you do care for
them, by showing them what Stornc SO
happily called the small courtesies, in
which there is no parade, whose voice is
too still to tease, and which manifest
themselves by tender and affectionate
looks, and little acts Of affection, giving
others the preference in every little en-.
joymont, at the table, in the field, walk
ing, sitting OF standing"

aSEIAu."-The learned are divided in

"SELAH." THE learned are divided in
opinion as to the meaning of this word,
which occurs so often in the Psalms. The
Targums, and most of the Jewish COM
mentators give the word the meaning of
eternally, forever Rabbi Kimchi regards
it as q sign to elevate the voice. The all
thors of the Septuaginttranslation appear
to have regarded it as a musical or ryth-
mical note. Herder regards it as indcat-
ing a change of tone; Mathcson as a mu-
sical note equivalent, perhaps, to the word
repeat According to Luther and others
it means silence. Gosenius explains it to
mean, "Lct the instrument play and the
singers stop" Wochcr regards it as equi-
valent to swsum corda-up my soul.
Sommcr, after examining all the seventy
four passages in which the word occurs,
recognizes in every case can actual ap-
peal or summons to Jehovah" They are
calls for aid and prayers to be heard, ex-
pressed either with entire directness, or
if not in the imperative, Hear, Jehovah" !"
or awake, Jehovah, and the like, still ear
nest addresses to God that he would re-
mcmbcr and hear, &c. The word itself
he regards as indicating blast of trum-
pets by the priests. Selah, itself, he
thinks an abridged expression used for
litigation Sclah-Higgaion indicating the
sound of the stringed Instruments, and
Selah vigorous blast of trumpcts.

A Mississippi paper has the follow
ing: The false calves are rendered NO
cessary by the new style fitting hoops"
which go very far towards exposing what
was before only dreamed of, Or existed
only in imagination. In the language of
an exchange:
"These calves are not feeting show,
For mans illusion given,
They're filled with bran or stuffed with tow,
And swell about foot or SO,
And look first-rate, by heaven"
The false bosoms are made of fine wire.
in the shape Of birds nest, with small
spring to them, and really look and feel
quite natural.

FUN AT HoME-Don't be afraid of q
little fun at homo, good people. Don't
shut up your house lest the sun should
fade your carpets, and your hearts lest q
hearty laugh shake down some of the
musty cobwebs there. If you want to
ruin your sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must bc left
on the threshold without, when they come
home at night When once house is
regarded as place to eat, drink and
sleep in, the work begins that ends in
gambling houses ald reckless dissipation.
Young people must have fun and rolaxa-
ton somewhere; if they do not find it at
their own hearthstones it will be sought
at other and perhaps less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night, and make the homestead delight
full with all those little arts that parents
perfectly understand. Don't repress the
buoyant spirits of your children; half an
hour of merriment round the lamp and
fire light of home, blots out the remem-
branco of many care and annoyance
during the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of bright little
domestic frcside.

REMARKABLE DocuMENT.-One David
Quinn, of Chicago, has just published, In
pamphlet form, memorial to Congress,
advising the re-establishment of negro
slavery. 1t presents the subject in new
phase, in which it has probably not here
tofore been considered. 1t hold that men
are divided into species and have different
natures; that the negro finds his civil
liberty in his slavery, and that the white
man undergoes change in America
which makes slavery essential that tho
French in Canada and the Spaniard in
Mexico have degenerated, and that the
native people of the Northern United
States are now three inches less around
the chest than the Europeans. The au-
thor brings forward many historical and
scientific facts in support of his argument.
