SIXTEENTH PSALM.
A MetriCal Rendering.

- N Metricii TenuerlnS,
Preserve me, o God, when dangers impend;
n Thee do trust, for Thou art my Friend.
Ny God is Jehovah, to him have ! said
Since Thou art my Lord, no evils dread.
NO Joy of my life is sweeter to me
Than that which / find by trusting in Thee
The saints OF the earth, the men OF Thy choice,
In waiting on Thee unite and rejoice.
What sorrows pursue the men who adore
The idols they frame. but vainly implore.
Their impious feasts can not endure
The gods they revere hate and abjuro,
My portion is God no other need;
Yea, He is my food on Him do l feed
My wants in Himself are daily supplied
In Him TO the end my soul shall condde.
How blest IS my lot how honorei and greati
How pleasant and fair and rich is my state!
praise Thee, my God, because OF Thy grace,
The grace that constrained me- Thysef t en-
brace.
Thy counsels I've heard and pondered by
night;
To them does my heart respond with delight.
Since Thou art my God my Keeper my Guide
Forever shall in safety abide.
Through life shall my heart with gladness
abound,
My tongue shall be tuned Thy praises to
sound.
Nor wilt Thou at last when flesh must decay
Abandon me then to death for it's prey,
Thy erant am l. in body and SOUL
And ne her shall death have under CONTROL
Thy vo &c has proclaimed the changeless de-
crec--
Corruption Thy chosen never shall see.
The tyrant's fell sway Thy will shall revoke,
His boosted dominion shall fall at thy stroke;
And Thine shall arise to live at Thy side,
Where fullness of joy and pleasures abide.
IS. " Mckenzie. D. D., in Watchman.

CHOICE EXTRACTS.

Love is the refreshing water; the
law is the channel for it to flow in: and
the spring is the bosom of God.-McCosh.
Hidden struggles with Temptations,
victories obtained over selfishness, quiet
Christian deeds of love, may seem of lit.
tie account to ourselves, but they have
an enduring influence on our souls, and
make and mold the character into the
likeness of Christ,-Christian Inquirer.
Thanks be to God, there is some.
thing beyond the philosophy of the men
who see no providence, know no Saviour
and trust no God. Where philosophy
sits down baffled, faith gets up and goes
to work; and when man is helpless, God
is present help in every time of need
The Christian.
There is difference between a re.
ligion of principle and one of policy.
Really the religion of principle is the
true coin of the spiritual realm, while
the one of policy is but counterfeit.
Principle is the fixed, Interchangeable
rule of a steadfast character; while
policy is the weather vane constantly
shifted by external winds of circum.
stances and conditions.-M Methodist
Protestant.
-Ex-President Woolsey Justly says in
regard to sin: "Sin tends to destroy
even those qualities which in a brute
awaken our deep interest, and to put in.
to their place lead-colored monotonous
selfishness, which is not properly hui.
man nature, but it's wreck and over.
throw" This is we'll and forcibly said
Selfshness is the essence Of all sin; and
! when it becomes the supreme law Its
tendency is to kill every thing that is
generous and noble in human nature
n. Y. Independent.
Never brood over myself; never
stop short in myself; but cast thy whole
self, even this very care which distress
eth thee, upon God. Be not anxious
about little things, if thou woulds
learn to trust God with thine all. Ac
upon faith in little things; commit thy
daily cares and anxieties to Him; ant
He will strengthen thy faith for an,
greater trials. Rather give thy Who'll,
self into Gods hands, and so trust Hin
to take care of thee in all lesser things
as being His for His own sake, who's,
thou art.-E. b. Pusey.

On the Hill.

Miss Alice (waiting for the "bob" to
start)-Do you know, always think Of
the poor sailors at sea on Christmas
Eve. 1t must be so awfully dreary.
They haven't any of our pleasures-liks
this, for instance. ..- ..
Witticus-Oh, indeed, you are mis-
taken. know sailor who spends all
his time coasting,
Miss Alice Gncredulous)-On the wa.

Miss Alice-Why, how stupid Of mel

"INFLUENCE."
We Should be Faithful According to Our
Own Peculiar Gifts.

own Peculiar Gifts.
What is the peculiar talent with
which God has invested me, and where
with can best serve Him? Is it wealth?
Is it intellect, art or science or litera-
ture? Is it birth or public station or
private influence? Whatever it be, let
me seek to occupy it till my Lord shall
come; that when lie cOmcth, He may
receive His own with usury. Nor should
any power be regarded as too small and
insignificant. 1t is in the moral and
spiritual, as in the natural world the
tiniest particle the invisible globule
helps to load the cloud which descends
either in gentle showers or in terrific
waterspouts. The lowliest and humblest
and humblest can help directly or indi-
rectly to unite the bandages from a sim
stricken, woeworn world, and send it
forth from its fevered couch, walking
and leaping and pleasing God. If from
popularity of disposition or situation
some may feel as if they were unequal
to the outward activities of Christian
work and service, yours may be the silent
but equally potent example of holy,
meek, loving, peaceful life.

a NEW METHOD OF TREATING
DISEASE.
Hospital Remedies.

What are theys There is a new depart
ure in the treatment of disease. Ii con-
.ists in the collection of the specifics used
by noted specialists of Europe and Amsri-
ca, and bringing them within the reach of
all. For instance the treatment pursued
by special ply sicisns who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only. WAS OBJ
tanned and prepared. The treatment of
other ply sicisns, celebrated for curing ca
tsrrn was procured, and so on till these in
comparable cures now include disease of
the lungs, kidueys. female weakness. rheu-
mstism and nervous debility.
This new method of lone remedy for
one disease must appeal TO the common
sense of all sufferers. many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thoroughly
realize the sbsurdity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed TO
cure every ill out of single bottle, and the
use of which. as statistics prove, has ruined
more stomachs than slcohol. A circular
describing these new remedies is sent free
on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hos
pitsl Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada,

The need of the American people for
fractional paper currency ia one that
cannot much longer be ignored Sever
Al years ago an attempt TO satisfy de
mand that would not be sieuced was
made in tn. establishing OF the postal
note system for the transmission of
small sums of money through the mail.
The public clsmor for paper fractional
currency was thus quieted for
Il time hut It WAS not appcascd. Now
that the failure Of the postal notes to
satisfy the public needs has been thor
oughly demon stratcf by time. people
are once more declaring their desire, for
more convenient fractional currency,
with no uncertain sound The failure
of the postal note to MI the place of the
convenient script" IN use prior to the
resumption of specie payments WAS in
hrrent Ia the ~ stem itself and ought
to have been foreseen from the very start.
Il is, first Of all. inconveuieut, necessita
ting visit to the post office in order TO
secure 1t and consuming time which, with
business men, ia equivalent to money.
Again 1t Is expensive entailing tax Of
three cents on every note. an important
consideration, when II is remembered
that all sums SO sent must be within
limit ranging between one cent and four
dollars and ninety nine cents. 1t does
not offer a single advantage that was not
possessed by the old script. II lost 1t
cannot be replaced and any chance lind
er can obtain the money on it. Can this
system with its Inconvenience aud ex-
pense be considered fair substitute for
paper fractional currency We certainly
think It cauuot.
The Importance of such currency to
the business interests of the country
cannot be over estimated. II would be
appreciated by every business establish
