Old Psalm Tunes. There is to us more touching pathos, heart-thrilling expression, more fix:ll4 displayed in some of the old Psalm tunes than in the whole batch of 'mod creisms.—The strains go home, and the "fountain of the great deep is bro- I ken tip"—the great deep of an fathom able feeling that lies far, fur below the world-hardened heart—and as. the un wonted yet checkered tears stand in the eye, the softened spirits yield to.. their induence, an& shake off the load of earthly care, rising purified and spir- Realised into a clearer atmosphere. Strange, inexplicable associations brood over the mind, "like the fur off dream of paradise," tr.inglingtbeir chaste mel- ' aneholy with musin,gaef a still subsided and more cheerful character. How many glad-hearts in the olden time have rejoiced in these songs of praise —how many sighed out their coin plaints in these plaintive notes, that ; steal siftlly, yet sweetly on tho car— hearts that now cold in death are laid to rest around the sacred fans, within whose walls they had sti often swelled with emotion.—Bletelanood. A entreat- Here is an illustration of "the differ ence between two Cages," as Lorenzo Dow would say : You enter the ehurett porch. The portly sexton, with his thumbs in the armholes of his rest, meets you at the door. He glances at you—your bat and coat are new, so ho graciously escorts you to an eligible seat in the broad aisle. Closely behind you follows a poor, meek, plainly-clad Seamstress, reprieved from her tread m;11 rounds, to think, one day out of seven, of the Immortal. The sexton is struck with sudden blindness ! She stands embarrassed one moment, then, as the truth dawns upon her, retraces her steps, and, with a crimson blush, re-crosses the threshold which she has profaned with her plebinn feet. Hark to the organ ! It is a strain from "Nor ma" Sabbathised. Now the worship pers, one after another, glide in; silks rustle—plumes wave—satins glisten— diamonds sparkle, and scores of forty dollar handkerchiefs shake out their perfumed odors. What an absurdity to preach the Gospel of the lowly Naz: rene to such a set. Lulkenee of the Atmosphere. The air which for about forty miles surrounds our earth has a definite weight; and although we can neither see nor feel it, we are conscious of its presence by the momentary operation of breathing. The weight of a column of air one inch square, and forty tulles high, is about fifteen pounds. The reason why we are not crushed down by this enormous weight is, because we are surrounded on all sides by it, and as the pressure of weight is equal all around, it becomes, as far as we are personally dtmeorned, insensible. That the air does exert a definite pressure, in consequence of its weight, may be easily proved by any one with a tumbler and a sheet of paper. Fill a tumbler quite full of water, and care fully draw over its top a sheet of clean letter paper, and be careful to see that there are no bubbles ofair in the water; planeyour hand over the paper while inverting it, and whim the glass is month downwards She water will be kept in, until the raper becomes wet through.

P uneral or a United States Senator The Washington correspondent of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union gives the following description of the manner of conducting the funeral of a United States Senator, in connection with the death of the lion. Josiah J. Evans, Sen ator from South Carolina It will be read with interest : When one dies, an informal meeting, of the body of which ho wawa member, appoints a comminttee of arrangements and pall-bearers. The Gay after his! decease or the day after that, his death' is annoniiced in the Senate,hy his col-1 league from the same State, accompa nied by a short eulogy, and eulogies are also passed upon his memory by-other Senators who were intimate with him, and, also, by some, who worapolitioally , opposed to him, on the ground of per-' sonal regard. For it is very common to find those who are most opposed to each other politically, very warm friends personally. Resolutions to at tend the funeral and to wear mourning badges for 30 days are adopted, and a copy sent to the House, where eulogies are also passed: Notices are sent to 1 the President, Heads of- Departments, 1 Judges of the Supreme Court, and the! Foreign Ministers, of the time and place , of the funeral service. The corpse is brought in a coffin to the capitol an hour or two before the funeral services commence, and is placed in a room con-1 tiguous to the Senate chamber, the committee of arrangements, pall-bear-1 en, Sergeant•at.Arms of the Senate, ; and the mourners accompanying it from the lodgings of the deceased to the cap-; ital. At the time appointed, the Presi- I dent, and the Heads of Departments I enter the Senate chamber. When the 1 President enters, the Sergeant-at-Arms, calls out " the President of the United 1 States," and every body present rises I to his feet and remains standing! until ho and his Cabinet take the seats assigned 'to them. The Foreign Minis ters and their attaches usually come in a body and take scats assigned them also. The Speaker and members and officers of the House are also announced on their arrival at the Senate door. The Spenicgr takes a seat on the left of, the President of the. Semite, and the! ir.embers tike seats in the lobby. The! corpse is then brought into the Senate chamber and the chaplain preaches a funeral sermon. The Vice President, Secretary, Sergeant-tit•Arins of the i House, all wear white sashes,and the' pallbearers black sashes. After the sermon is over the procession moves to the eastern portico of the capitol, where hacks employed fbr the purpose, are in waiting to convey them to the Congressional bitryingi.,Yronnd.-- The Doorkeeper, or one of the Clerks, announces the order of leaving the 'Senate chamber, whieh is as follows: The officiating Chaplain, physician of the deceased, Senators and Representa tives from the Staterepresonted by the deceased, as mourners. Sergean t-at- Arms ol the Senate, Vice President and Secretary of the Senate, Members of the &mat 3, Sergeant-at-Arms of ,the House, Speaker aid Clerk of the House, Members of the House, President of the United States, and R oads of De. .partmeats, Chief and Associate Justi ces of the Supreme Court and its offi cers, .-Diphnimade r eet4ps-Judges of the Ueited States,'Ofileere of the Execu tive Department, Officers of the A iiny and Navy, Mayor of' the city of War-h -ington;eitisems and strangers. Seine 200 hacks are usually employed, and paid at the rate of $2 50 for the occa sion. After the services at the grave or vault, for they Usually put the corpse in -a Vault before its final Interment, the members return to their respective Halls, and adjourn. There is always a surplus of hacks for the accommodation of ladies and gentlemen who desire to form a part of the procession. The President, Heads of Departments and foreign Ministers, generally go in their own carriages. The procession breaks up immediately after the interment, and carriages on their return are driven at a rapid rate to the respeLtive anodes of those occupying them. The hacks are required to take their occupants to any part of the city they eltoose, free of charge. Preserving Ftorrers.—Ourfa ir readers, all of whom, we know, love flowers—the eeTson of which is now at hand—will be interested in the following manlier of preserving them from wilting, which a contemporary assures us is liighly suc cessful. The plan is this: Procure a flat dish of poreelein, into which pour water, place upon a vase of flowers, and over the vase a bell-glass with its rim in the water. The air •that surrounds the flowers being confined beneath the bell-glass, is constantly moist with water, that rises into it in the form of vapor. As fast, as the water becomes condensed it runs down the sides of the bell-glass, so as to prevent it. evapora ting into the air of the sitting room; the atmosphere around the flowers is continually dump. The plan is - desig nated the " Hopean Apparatus." The experiment may be tried on a small scale by inverting a tumbler over a rose bud in a saucer of water.

"TRUTH 18 MIGHTY, AND WILL PREVAIL." A Great Wag Judo Dooly, an eminent jurist in Georgia, forty years ago, was a great wag as well ns a great judge—vritty as veil as wise. His gravity gave effect even to his jokes, and these were more frequent than his decisions. One of his funeibm was to take people down who were in the habit of exaggeration. The way lie used up Austin Edwards, keeper of the hotel at Elbertson, is a caution to all story-tellers, of whom Austin wiis the prince. He always told the truth, and more. "It was natters'," ho said; "he liked aneommon things better than common ones; 'twas a heap more amnsin' anyhow." Ono morning at' the breakflist table, this long-bow landlord had been Mat• ing one of his extraordinary yarns, and Judge Dooly, being at the hotel and listening to the story, sat in solemn silence till it was over, and then re. marked that he bad an awful dream in the night, and was very much depressed this morning. The landlord was awake in a moment, and bogged the judge, if it, would be no violence to his feelings, to relate the dream, as all would like to hear it. The judge still declined, as it might. hurt the feelings of others. " 0, do tell it, judge—we must have its" urged the landlord; an i tl the com pany joining in, the judge proceeded as if he wore about to sentence a criminal to be hung: Well, I dreamed last night that two 'a,:vyers • and myself had retired to a private room to divide among us a fire teeeived from a hard case which had been carried through with a mighty deal of lying on all hands. Wl.ile we were settling the division, in steps the devil, who, without any formality, said he had come for us—we had• told lies enough, and if ho left us any longer we might repent, and so be would lose us. We did oar best to persuade him to let us off, bat ho was inexorable, till at butt I ventured to ask him if he would take a substitute. "' Whom do you offer?' ho asked. "'Austin Edwards,' said 1,- , keeper of the Elliertron " •Good hy'll do,' staid he, 'rend him along. I'll take him for all three of you !'

Trusting to Providence. Ono of those stiff-noekod puritanical missionaries, who Sometimes wander away, i‘ down south" and take sly chances of endeavoring to enlighten the benighted darkien of that region, was riding along ono Sunday morning in the neighborhood of a wealthy planter's negm quarters, when to his horror, he spied Cudjo hoeing a small potato patch. Stopping hiirboreo at the fence, he ad dressed Line thus; " Mr poor unfortunate eokored broth er, is it possible your cruel mute+ com pels you to labor on the Lord's holy day r' " Oh, no, mama stranger; my nuts stir good man ; ho gib niggor far chance; gib him gardin for himself.

" The ignor ance of Egyptian bondage Has he never taught you the awfulness of working on the Sabbath?" "Well - you see mama stranger, I neb ber knew 'fore 'liras sin fur nigger boo his own 'tutors Sunday," said Cudjo, scratching his bead. ' "A great sin, my eolored brother; how can you expect the fiord to bless you, ifyou tikes break his command ments?" " What nigger ?wino to do for %eters den ?" Raked Cudjo, somewhat puzzled.

The missionary mile off in disgust, the more promptly, perhaps, that just then he espied some gentlemen coming down the road whom he did not dare• to !lace see him ta►npering with the negro. llifirA couple of idle follows strolled into the colored church at Ilighspire, a few evenings since, to enjoy the fun; but when the colored mini'tcr rose:up to preach, before announc'in; his text leaned forward on the pulpit, and look ed around on the congregation : "Brod ren," says he at length, "Nay de Lor' hab mercy on all de scoffers."

The popular idea seems to be that the bug-eared tribe have been deprived of the power of speech since the days of Balaam, but we had this morning ocu lar and auricular proof of the fallacy of this belief. As we were coming down Broad street, we noticed a little this side of the Planter's Hotel, a crowd collected usound the wagon of a coun tryman, and we stepped up to learn, if possible, the cause of the excitement. The wagon was drawn by a couple of mules—one of them a rather bad look- lug specimen who seemed to had from a region where corn and oats were rarities—the other decidedly better looking and giving unmistakeable evi. donee, we thought, of having been bet ter fed. The wagon welt loaded with that delightful esculent so popular in the,South—sweet potatoes. Prominent in the crowd we noticed a little black eyed, gray-haired man, who was busily engaged when we came up in negotiat ing a trade for ono of the inults—,and strange to say for the poorest looking one. "No*, my Mend," -said the little man, " I want this route-1 have a first rate match for him . and want to make cut the pair.

" Why moss." promptly responded the mule, "What are you lying about.-- You know you have had me over fifteen years." - " There, my fliend,". said the little man, "your male contradicts you—and he ought to know his own age.
