THE H1sfoRY OF '-OLD HUNDRED. ."-This unique psalm tune first appeared in John Calvin's French Psalters." published at Geneva in l543 as the ''proper tune to the l34th psalm. Guillesume Franc was mu- s.csi editor of this work. He was a master iu music, yet all that viii be found in ordi- nary musical history regarding him. is that he was an ''obscure musician of Strss- hourg, of the sixteenth century" The church owes him not few ot her choicest melodies. A melody in Luiher's great psal- ,rrs, published from l524 to 1860 seems to have suggested ideas of this inlnaitsble cho- rAle. One of Luther's hymns of eight in- equal lines which was set to . melody of the Moravian or Waldens,an early church. contains the elements in the Old Hundredth. But these were reset and remoteled by Frankt who left Strasbourg and became ''cAnteur" or preeentor to Theodore Rez or Lsussnne. He subseq ently settled and died at Geneva, leaving ss his imperishsble monument the music of the French Sal ] tel" :" The muslc was afterwards adapted te the Hundredth Psalm in the first 'Englisl SaIter" ever publish~d, edited by John Cal win, and printed for the use of the congr~ xAtion bv EnElish-spsaking refugees al G u eva in 1856 of which at that time JOhl Kuox Was minister.

ROMANTIC WILL CASE IN MA ,sAoHusErrs, = A will case as angular and romantic as though cut from the pages of one of Chas. Resde's novels, has arisen in Hampshire county, the matter in dispute being the es- tate of Frederick L. Hayden, late of Will Ismsburg. Mr. Hayden died in Switzsi
 land last September, after residing for soms time abroad. At the October tenn of .tht Hampshire county probate court an instru- ment, purportiLg to be his last will and testament was presented by Henry L.. Dalton of Boston, who was named by the instrument ss it's executor. and at the No ysmber term of the court it was duly pro bsted and allowed. Under this will. whicl, was executed April goth, 1874, Mr. Hay
 deu, who was bachelor. gave $2, 900 tu the Haydenville cemetery association. $5,- 600 to the Congregational society at Hay denyille, ,and e3. 900 to Hsydenville schools, the rest of his estate, which was considera- ble. being divided among his relatives and friends. Yesterday French woman ap- peared at the probate ofic.- in Northamp- ton with document written in French and executed in due form, purporting to be the last will and testament of Mir. Hayden, made by hun while in Eu ope, and afteI the execution of the will already probat.d Fms new will, the woman alleges, appoint. her sxecutrix and gives her his whole es tate. Of course, if its validity is establish ed, the first will become null and void, the Haydenvills people will get none of tht property, and ths Frenchwomsn will Carr, away the whole. This, in fact, was h,l sole purpose in coming to America. Al though the foreign will has not yet beel filed in the probsts office, eminent cOuns,
 have been engaged on both sides, and [ protracted litigation is likely to snsue.

Il never was anything, dearest, till knew you, and 1 have been better happier ard more prosperous man evel since. Whatever may befsll mo, the wifi. of my bosom will have the acknowledge ment of her tenderness. worth and excel lence from my pen." A wri.er ID Casselp Magazins thus describes the aid given te her husband by the wife of the grea Scotch philosopher:
 The wife of Sir William Hamilton Pro lessor of Loglc in the University at Edin burgh, was true helper to her husband indeed, it is more than probable that with, out her many of his best works would nev CT have been written.
