THE following is a part Of a psalm sung IN
Osmotherlv Church, Yorkshire, England,
above century ago. 1t was composed by
the parish clerk, when the murraln, severe
distemper, ragged with such mallgnance
among the horned cattle in the year II14.-
1t was sung and chorused by the whole con-
rrepation in the church. The first four STAN
zas contained an account of the cattle that
died. and the names of the farmers to whom
they telonged The remaining verses were
as follows:
No Christians bull nor cow, they say,
But takes it out Of hand:
And we shall have no cows at all,
l doubt, within this land.
The doctors though they all have spoke
Like learned gentlemen,
And told how the entrails look,
Of cattle dead and green,
For they do nothing do at all,
With all their learning's store;
So Heaven drive out this plague away,
And vex US not no more.
This piece was so well received, that after
the service it was desired again by all the
congregation except five farmers, who wept,
declaring that the lines were too moving
The minister, on going out, said to the clerk,
why, John, what psalm was that we had
to day? It was not one of David's." " mo,
no." quoth John, big with the honor he had
acquired David never made such psalm
since he was born this is one Of my own"

THE CATACoMBs OF ROME.-The building
Of catacombs dates far back in the history
of the human race. Those of Rome are very
extensive, and visit to them is an event
never to be forgotten. Here, in gloom
equal to Hades, piled on each side in these
subterranean caverns, are the decaying relics
of what once had been like ourselves-llVlng
flesh and blood Chauteaubria I'D, in his
usual poetical manner, thus describes his first
visit to Catacombs of Rome: "On one Occa-

Civil RiRhts Bill.

TIE veto of the civil rights bill will
probably be considered in the Senate to.
day Several speeches are to be. made
in reply to the Presidents message, and
it is probable that no vote upon the
question will be taken until tomorrow.
The following analysis Of the vote by
which the bill originally passed shows
how probable it is that the veto will not
be sustained We clip from the New
York Post
In the Senate the bill was passed by
vote of 33 to IL. Of these, Senator
Foote, who voted for it, has since died,
and Mr. Stockton, who voted against it,
has been sent back to New Jersey. This
leaves the vote 81 to IL of these eleven,
Messrs Cowan, Norton and Van Wrinkle,
are republicans. Three republicans.
Messrs. Creswell, Doolittle and Ira Har-
rs, and two Democrats, Messrs Reverdy
Johnson and Wright, did not vote.
Tvo-thirds are necessary TO pass 6iil
over the Presidents veto. Surprising
the majority in this case TO keep their
eleven to be increased by all five OF
those who did not vote, then there
would be Just two thirds--32 against it.
"In the House the vote stood III yeas
81 nays; AID thirty four members did
not vote. Suppose all to vote, il would
REQUIRE ore hundred and twenty-five to
pass the bill over the veto. Of the
tbirty-four who did not vote, twenty
six were republicans aud eight demo
Gratis. If those who voted for the bill
before are steadfast they require only
the addition of eleven Of the twenty-six
republicans who did not vote before to
give them the constitutional two-tbirds.
