The Psalms Of DAVID
byter.

Ameng all compositions these alone
deserve the name of sacred lyrics. These
alone contain poetry that meets the
spiritual nature in all its moods and all
its wants, which strengthens virtue with
glorious exhortations, gives angelic elo-
quence to prayer, and almost rises to
the seIaph's JOY in praise. In distress
and fear they breathe the low sad muir
mur of complaint; in penitence they
groan with the agony of the troubled
soul. They have gentle music for the
peace of faith in alteration they ascend
to the glory OF creation and the majesty
of God. For assemblies or for solitude,
for all that gladdens and all that grieves,
for our heaviness and despair, for our
remorse and our redemption, we find in
these divine harmonies the loud or the
low expression. Great has been their
power in the world. They resounded
amidst the courts of the tabernacle
they foated through the lofty and sol
emn spaces of the temple. They were
sung with glory in the halls of Zion; ;
theyw sung with sorrow by the streams
of Babel. And when Israel had passed
away, The harp of David was still
awakened in the church of Chist In all
the eras and ages of that church, from
the hymn which first was whispered il
an upper chamber until its anthems filed
the earth, the inspiration of the royal
prophet has enraptured its deyotiens and
ennobled its rituals. And that has been
not alone in the august cathedral or the

What ModjeslSa's Dresses Teach.

A detailed description of the fine dress.
es worn by the Countess Bozenta,
Madame Helena Modjeska, in the play
of +" Camille" by painstaking writer,
may be of value. He says these dresses
are recently from Paris, and concludes
thus:
"It will be observed that all these
dresses are fourreaux. There is noteven
a simulated basque among them. While
they are not offered as exact models Of
what lady would wish to initiate in
her attire, they undoubtedly show the
tendency of the fashions Of the day.
Basques will not probably be
worn much longer. They indicate
the entire and certain banishment
of crinoline from the feminine toilet;
they show that there is return to the
use OF satin for full dress they make it
evident that the ridiculous fashion Of
tying back will be abandoned, but that
the clinging and close effect will be pre-
served by the cut of the skirt itself.
They show that evening toilets are most
fashionable when sleeveless; that the hair
should be dressed high, and false cheva-
lure will be necessary; that square necks
and high shouldered corsages are pre-
ferred. And that bracelets both above
and below the elbow are worn that
pockets are exploded except for home
dresses, and that all fashionable feminine
robes are trained, whether worn in the
evening, morning, afternoon or night.

When you join q church, you should
calculate to stand by your colors. What
IS a soldier good for who drops out of the
ranks, or skuIks, or runs, the moment
the cause is in peril? What is a church
member worth who becomes invisible
Just when his services could be of some
value? If you are in a large church
where workers are abundant, you may
without harm keep modestly in the back
ground; but, in case the ranks are thin,
your response should ring out at every
roll-call. AS a Christian soldier, you
have enlisted for the war how can you
settle it in the court of conscience that
you are delinquent in the breach ? What
good opinion can you have of yourself,
if, when in a large church, you press
your way to the front ranks and seek
promotion, and then when your lot falls
among small people, who really need
your help, you keep your letter in your
pocket or pass it over to some other
denomination which happens to be larger
or more popular than your own? That
course IS Il sad commentary on your re-
ligion. Bat we fear it is a true history
OF many a sham professor. If they are
not deserters from the ranks, they are
shirks and pretenders, and, as such, a
source OF positive weakness to any body
TO which they belong lions Herald.

To man, time is for sowing seed, while
eternity is for reaping the harvest. An
inch of time is given us here to decide
whether we shall spend our eternity in
endless weeping, or in supernal bliss. A
pious life, however short, is followed by
an eternity of joy. a wicked life, how
ever long, is followed by an uuending
existence in every part of which man
wishes that he had never been born. No
man ever had an adequate conception of
the variety and brevity OF our earthly
life. 10 man ever had an adequate con-
ception of the vastness and grandeur of
a happy eternity. Ii l only knew how

DOOTORING.

Irregular Practice but Novel and Successful
I Cure.
No less shrewd man than Montainge
has recorded his conviction that many
an old woman knows more about surgery
and medicine than many doctor who
stands high in his profession. At Fort
Wayne, Ind, the other day, a child
was creeping on the floor, testing, after
the manner of babies, the edible qualities
Of All that came in its way. Finding that
the kitten filled his mouth with hair,
that the poker was not a succulent morsel,
and that there was no milk to be drawn
fom the leg of steol, the youngster
solemnly looked about for something
better, which presently he found in
e kernel OF corn. Had it been a tack his
s.other, though her back had been turned,
kssgaid aaave known thu fact and flown to
the rescue; for mothers, ike the saints in
Swedenborg's heaven, have eyes in the
back of their heads for such things. The
impression sac had through her feelings
she was hanging clothes in the yard at
the time-wss that no harm could come
from a kernel Of corn for a baby to
humble. She was in error, however, and
shortly was startled by q hoarse bark, as
of suffocating child. With bound she
was in the house, and found her blessed
babe black as to its face and kicking as to
its limbs. Hastily she ran for the doctor,
who on his arrival looked at the patient,
fumbled with it, and finally said that
there must be some foreign substance in
the trachea, which could be removed only
by bronchotomy. The mother, looking at
thepractitioner with all ner eyes, inquired
what IN the world he meant by such
language in her house. He explained,
as doctors will on such occasions, that,
d" in order to save the child's life, it would
be necessary to make an incision in the
median line of the throat, near the
thyroid gland, dissect down to the
trachea, push aside the streno-hyoid
muscles, introduce a canula and then
remove the obstruction" In the mean
time the babe had almost ceased to
wriggle, and the doctor, jamming his
hat OH his head, started for the door to
look for a boy to run for his instruments.
Before he had reached the door, however,
he heard a resounding spank, and looking
around beneld with horror that mother
holding up her child by the left leg,
head downward, and administering to it
a common domestic remedy, such as the
Widow MacStinger gave Master Mac
Singer ere seating him on cold stone
to remove the sequeI@. He rushed to the
rescue of the patient from such unpro-
fessional hands, but as he rushed had his
eye neany put out out by the kernel of
corn which shot from that trachea as if
propelled by catapult.

The House of Savoy.

Brave, dissOlute, unscrupulous, yet
with some statesmanlike insight and ex-
traordinary tenacity, the line from Hum
bert II. (1O7S,) down to Victor Emman-
uel, through 500 years of varied fortune,
might always have been accurately de-
scribed As the soldier dynasty of the
Alps, with all the vices and many of the
virtues the world attributes to the soldier
and the hungry mountaineer. The great
est man Of the house till Victor Emman-
uel appeared, the wonderful general
whom our fathers so much admired, and
who, by the side of Marlborough, upheld
through a long career of victory the cause
of Europe against Louis XIV, and who
signed himself Eugenio Won Savoye,"
because he was as IN uch Italian as Ger
man, aud as much Frenchman as either,
appears in his memoirs, under AL his
court varnish and all his magnanimity,
a thorough Savoyard, daring, ambitious,
dissoluie, luxurious, and persist
ent as a river. In Victor En-
manuel this last quality, always so per
cepti5le in his house, took shape that
made the fortune alike OF his dynasty
and of Italy. When, after the dark day
of Noyara. he assembled the throne, his
subjects expected in the sullenly brave
Young prince so deeply connected with
the Austrian house, an italian Hapss
burg, thorough reactionary, and in
part they we're not deceived. No man
had more of the feelings of kingship or
the pride of birth than Victor Emanuel,
and no man more confidence in his own
right to rule. He compelled bis parlia-
ment to sign the peace which saved
Piedmont, he quarreled in the very
crisis of his fate with Cavour, because
the great minister made a remark which
the king considered derogatory to mis-
house; he refused the throne Of the
Peninsula, il he were to be called
se King of the Italians" and he would
often aver to the last that it was hard
work to guide his political team" He
was, in fact, by temperament a king
of the old type; but he had ac-
quired, either from some teaching of
his father, or the circumstan-
ces of his own history, an absolute con-
viction that to carry his fathers policy to
success, aud rear the throne his father
had designed, he must be constitutional
king, and from that resolve he never
swerved. His Austrian relatives implored
and threatened him to give up the stat
uto; the priests, whom he, as a dissolute
and superstitious man, greatly feared,
menaced him with every spiritual suffer-
ing his closest female kinslolk declared
the incessant deaths in his house judg-
ment from heaven, but the proud, hot
tempered, bull-headed soldier, never
swerved from the word he had given. He
would keep the constitution as his father
had sworn and maintain his father scause,
and all Italy in one twelvemonth recog-
nized that he was faithful, and fell at the
feet of the only italian prince who could
be trusted. Before he had won province
every italian city used periodically to be
placarded with " Viva Verdi" the name
of the composer containing the initials Of
Vittorio Emanuele, Re d Italia, " and in
every advance his troops had behind them
