''He shall not be afraid of evil tidings;
his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord
"His heart is established; he shall not
be afraid, until he see his desire upon his
enemies.
"He hath dispersed, he hath given to the
poor; his righteousness endureth for ever
his horn shall be exalted with hohor.
''The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;
he shall gnash his teeth and melt away; the
desire Of the wicked shall perish"
CONCENTRATING THE NEW PRESIDENT.
The Chief Justice was one of the first to
congratulate the President, for such he was
the moment the simple ceremony of taking
the oath of Office was concluded, after which
there was ageneral congratulation, in which
the ex-President, the cabinet, members of
the Supreme Court, number of Senators
and member. ST the House and others took
part. As ths PRESIDENT walked from the
platform back into the Capitol building he
was kept busy shaking the hands that were
offered him. This delayed somewhat the
taking his carriage and his place in the pro-
cession, but the delay was SO brief that It
was not noticed.

went to live in Philadelphia, where he re-
mained till 1856, when he returned to
