coin in 1854. We say nothing as to Mr..

coin in 1854. We say nothing as to Mr..
Hamlin's political belief There are many
characteristics Of the man that we admire.
He is true friend, and a bitter enemy he
never forgets favor, and Is slow to forget
injuries. By force Of energy aud native
talent, be. worked his way up to the second
highest position within the gift OF the peo-
pie Of this country, and 20 those who are
familiar with his early political struggles,
bis success seems to be somewhat rcmarka-
BILE. He has q national reputation, while
the whole pack Of political tykes who
growled and snared at his heels twenty
or thirty years ago, have sank into obscuri-
ty. We hope that Mr.. Hamiin will succscd
in this Senatorial contest, purely out of per.
sonal regard for the man.

The translators Of the Bible have left the word
Selah, which occurs 30 often In the Psalms, a.
they found il, and Of course the Engiish reader
oltan asks his minister or some learned friend,
what il msans. And the minister or learned friend
has most often been obliged to confess ignorance,
because It IL matter in regard to which the
most learned have by no means been of one mind.
The Targums, and most Of the Jewish commen-
tators, give to the world the meaning of eternity,
forever. Kimchi regards it a. . sign to elevate
the voice. The authors of the Septuagint trans.
lation appear to have regarded it as musical or
rhymioal note. Herder regards il as indicating
a change Of Tone Matheson, a. musical tone,
equivalent perhaps, ts the word repeat 40
cording to Luther and others, it means silence (!
Gesenius explains IL to mean, 'Let the instru.

Ladies in Indiana have to be very careful
about living with men under the superstition
that II is all right-legally. Here, for Instance,
was Mrs. Albert French, Of Lagrange, who, the
other day, left the bed Of her siok husband to go
on an errand to the house Of neighbor across
the street While there some one asked her il
she had heard Of rumor to the effect that she
had been divorced from her husband. She re-
piled no, and in laughing way, was making
some remarks about the absurd stories people
tell, when person entering, handed hen . nots
from an attorney, informing her that the rumor
was true. Her husband had made application
in the Circuit Court Of Elkhart county, where
the parties had never lived at all the sheriff
had served the process 20 informally that she
never received it; the application was granted
on the 10th Of March her husband brought tho
decree homo with him and lived with her more
than week before she found it1out, during
which she had been attentively nursing him
through fit of sickness. Mr.. Albert French Is,
evidently, fit subject for education bylvigilance

following facts: They say that suoh il the an.

The snake succeeds in efccting bite, the lizard,
