Aftor roading tho twonty- third Psalm,—* The Lord is my shopherd, I shall not want,” ote.,—Lrof, Bwing sids I hinvo road this Psulm beoause I desiro, this ovening, to malo somo romarks rogarding the Book of Penlms, of which this twonty-third DPonlm ia ‘only a specimen, You often aco jolned togetuor tho Now Testamont and the Peslme. Tho ronson of this, nssoocla- tion is without doubt obvlous, but this Joining together of the Peslms aud Now Tostn- ment scors to ma to bo always particularly np- propriate, bocause no part of tho Old Tostament, cortainly, will comparo with tho Book of Paaims; ond, n8 the Now 'L'estamont s supposed to Lo ca- pecially adaptod to Christian dlspenantion, and is calied the Now Testament, for that roason ft might soom that it ought to stand byitself. But Ratlrond, waa o moment's reflection will show you that the Pealma aro a new testament; that is, thoy aroa part of tho Biblo that can mover grow old, There isno Old Toatamont about this twenty. third Peal; that s, thoro is nothing in it of shadow, nothing in it of type, nothing in it of tho temporal thot passes away. Tho Book of Paalms is the perpetunl song of the human Loart, with the excoption of afow psalms that wore local,—thosa panlms of cursing. In speak- ing of thio Baok, therofore, I speak of tho groat portion of it. It is all New Testamont, never growing old, Tho roagon of the immense worth of the Book of Pealms is this: Firat, thot thoy aro a poo- tryy that is, thoy aro a form of thought that hos roforenco ouly to tho human hoart overywhoro, for this gonorally ia the moaning of poetry; it 18 @ form of thought that has roforonce to every heart in evory condition of ite, There is no such thing as & pootry for Kings aud s pootry for the common pooplo, Tho vory momont thie heart becomes fuspired onougl to clotha its thoughts in such words na Dnvi& used in this twenty-third Psalm, and in all the Pualms, that momont it becomes Inspirod above any one plucs, or any ono oluss of pooplo, and spoaks .of everybody, And thoremn spenks tho Now 'Lestamont,—tho tirat and the last testa~ ment that man will need. This tweuty-third Pealm {s just 8a _ ovorlasting as tho Sermon upon tho Mount, and just ay uaivorsal. “'Cho Lord is my shepherd,” is juat 88 univoraal a Boutiment as any ono fouad in the disponsation of Christ, Aundso all through thua grort collection only thoso words ara utterod \\'hicfi tho human family can ro-ocho. Solect any ouo of thom—the nineticth, the ninety-first — Lord, Thou hag boen our dwelling-place in all generations;” tako tho Paalm in which tho writor declares, * Tho heavons declars the glory of God;_ tho firmamont sheweth His handi- work, Day uuto day uttoreth spoech, avd pight uuto night sheweth knowledge,™ ~universal utterances, and Lence approprintely aro they bound up with tho words of Josus Christ, and with thoG oapels, and with the Apos- tle's lettors,—a groat part of the New Testa- ment 3 that isl of tho whole Testament,—the ouly Testament that man will need. This immonse worth of the Pualms comes, I 8ay, fiom tho fact that thoy are the pooticbreath- ings, tho spiritunl bioatlungs of tho soul. And heuco they are full of the univorsal, tull of the plaintive that comes rightup out of human sin, Luman gorrow ; ful) of that looking o the oud of ' lifo thnt bolongs to you and me a8 much as to David; and full of the beautiful—the boautiful of God, the besntitut of God's hoavans, avd of Iis sanctusry, Henco the book is perpotual. Thoro is nothing in it to pass away, with the fow exceptions I have men- tioned. {L in the book of the Oll Testament that 18 dostitute of types and shaduws and of the temporal. The Psalms contain only thoss dootrines that . belong to the henrt ; thnt s, to evory-day lifo, evory-day oxperience,—tho dootrinos” of evory- dny noed, Doctriues of providence; God is supposed to bo near, Dootrines of penitonco ; oh, bow David poured out hus soul in ponitentia} tonrs. The doctrines of religion that bolong to the soul’s most futimate exporionca—mont socret exporionce—lie open in this Book. And honco it is the fit_companion of the Sermon upan the Mount, and of the Gospels, and of Paul's lotters, T'no Psalms and tho Now Lestament should gzo fogother. 'That is overlasting which belongs to nilhoarta overywhera and in overy nge. Huch an adaptation is the seal of ita immortality. What wo eall systematio theology gothers up a great mony doctrines that bolong to the intel- loct—puroly such. Systematio theology guthers up doctrines that are deductions according to logic—coroliaries from some main proposition.: And thus quite a large work is mado of all the grent promises of religion ; and then from the deductions another deduction from that, aud so on until hundreds of articles are drawn out from two or three starting powmts, DBut the Ponlma contain only thoso doctrines which overy soul ~ en ecarth noeds evory day, or atleast somo time in life. Thoro in nothing extra about tho book. Thera are no far-fotchod inferoncos, but the doctrinos como right down to the evory-day lifo of every one ; bocauso tho timo will comoe when you and I will Lo very plad to say “Tho Lord 1s my Shap- herd,” ‘and ** Though I walk through tha valloy of tho sbindow of denth, I will fear no ovil;” tho time will come when aod I will bo very glhd to say, ia _our dwelling-placo in all gonorations ;" nud * Tho days of our years nro three 8coro yeats and ton, and, it by renson of sirongth, they bo four scoro yesrs, vet is their strongth labor and gorrow.” You will searcely find & word in this book that docs not belong to tha prosont as truly 83 to tho past, Thue tho Pealms aro human in thoir doctrincs. Imenn Dy that tunt thoy do ot beloug to theologians nor to tho learned, but they are. buman in all their words, From first to Int, the doctrines of the Psnlms aro tha doo- tnines of a clonn heart. Tho Puabinist says, *In sin_did my mothor concoive ma;” not & hard logical statoment, but menulng that all the days of humnn Lifo aro marked with. transgressions. Thon comes the dootrino of pevitence; then the doctriue of au ever-present Providence; the doc- trine of God,—the Qod of Naturo, the God of tho heavens and of tho earth, of tho cradlo and tho grave, and of the world boyond, Combining with this book, tho New Testament . Wil bring w8 in, thon, the flual idea of Jesus Olrist, &nd you have a porfect system of theology—all " wa want, Tho Pealms aud Jesua Christ are theolo gy onough for me and for you; not that we do noc need other doctrines, and may hold other deductions, other far-fotohied inforoncos, with- out which the soul will live, and without which, happily, dia, Another thonght I wonld suggest hero is this— ather 1 would recall tho fact to your nttontion— tho wondorful influenco of soug. Ob, whatsa dofeotive book would the Biblo hava boon with- out this'great song in the middlo of it! Whata world would this bo without this pootry sot to wnsio—this bymn!

Amusing Soenes Between Passengers and Btroot-Uar Conduotors, How a Journalist-Was Made to “Pay for His Friends.” That old stielc-lo-the-mud, the propeller James Davidaon, whoeo bugo bulk a weok mince put an ond to communication botwoon Eaat and Wost Maditon streots for throo hours ud s half, played o slmilar prank at tho samo plnco yostor- day ovening, at twouty-four minutes past G o'clock, when eho again succooded in running aground at oxactly tho samo spot sho stirred tho mud upin laet woek. Tho dolay this timo was not au long ns bofore, but it was tho moro sori- ous on sccount of its lLappening at that point of the day which is known and roverod of moen sa dinuer-timo, Tho tug was procceding out of the river, Iadon with whent, and drawing, as tho Captalo avorred, 133¢ fost of wator, and got along well enough until she tried to paas through the channel botweon dnadison atroot bridge and tno west eide of tho river. Loro sho atuck, ofthor becanso thoro was not o dopth of 133¢ feat of water, or bocause the vessol was drawing moro than 14 foot, whiols, it is the bLelief of many, was the actusl depth of the rivor at this point. Luckily, the energotio moasures em- ployed got THE ELONGATED WABH-TUB afloat again, and at 7:85 she onco more got under way. The discomfort which thia delay caused to partios who were depouding upon tho stroot-cars to take them Lomo to dinner and the indignation thoy exhibited was much greater than could bo imagined by those who wore not eye-witncsses of tho samo. Among other quostions arising out of tho accldent is tho vickel question, ns between tho oxasperated car-pasgongor who Las pnid his & conts to ba enrried from tho cornor uf Btato street to the corner of Leavitt, and fluds himself bolated about thirteon oars this side of tho bridge, and the car-conductor, who, whatover his porsonal foolinga in the matior might bo, is bound by tho rules of the Company, under no circumatances, «to raturn tho nickel whose drop into the right- ide lower coat-pocket has boon duly recordod with the punch. A VERY ANIMATED ROENE arose last night in a Madisou streol car just west of the bridge out of this very question. Four gontlemen, ropresenting respoctively tha news- paper, legal, modical and business professions: Thoso gentlomen, mutually ncquainted, Lad got on tho ssmo cor on East Madison strent, had paid thewr farcsin an upright and Louorablo mauner, and, hoving Leen bridged for twenty odd minutes with no prospect of releaso, listoned af lnst to tho earnost molicitation of & still small voico within, and started together for tho tuonol, Having walked under tho river, which thoy liad paid to ride over, they took thelr seats in another Madison stroot car on tho othor sido. Tho car started, and true to his instincts the conductor began collecting fares, Tho first of the former whom tho conductor asked for his faro was tha lawyoer, who blandly but firmly do- clined to pay it, oi tho ground that ho bad al- roady done fo ; that ho bad, to all intonts and purposos, mada a contract oy botweon tho West 8ide Cur Company of tho first partand Limsclf of the socond Yl" whereby the former, in virtuo and consideration of the sum of b conty paid tho conductor gcting os tho agont of enid party of = the first part, by bim the said party of tho socond part, hisd'agroed to convey, conduct, carry, and tranafer tho said party of the second part’ from the corner ot Olark and Madigon atrects to any point along tho line of tho snid party of the first part at which the second cliose o disembaric; and, in sbort, ho would see the Company—do. prived of it chartor before ha would pay auothor niokel, TME CONDUCTOR EXPOSTULATED, but in vain, and, wion the lnwyser began to quoto procedents in support of his view of the caue, tho oar-conductor went by him aud roquested payment of tho newspaper man, the doctor, eud the merchant. ‘Lhoy liked the law of the firat objector, however, approved of it Leartily, and declined to pay an extra niokel likewiso, when tho conductor, who was & small man, and eaw that he and the driver could not successfully bounce the stubborn quurlotto, remarked loudly, *Well, then, this yer car don't move ou until them nickels s paid.” ‘The pussougors, who almost universally, when thoy jtirac fuonrd of the dotermination not to pay ou ha part of tho lawyor, had rfmnmd iv with many nods of approval, and loudly uttored romarks of * Quite right,” bogun to change tloir tuno at this, especially when thoy saw the driver tighton his brake to avold the possibility of tho nou-payers being by a sudden start of the horses taken an inck or ¢two voarer home. THEN THEY OLANOED FIEMOELY at tho Jawyer aud his three compsnions, and bers and ‘thero wore heard tho muitored complaints, * How moan,” ** Just for a nickel,” * Won't somobody take up s subseniption for tho paupors?” ¢ Ob, conductor, do tako thom as far a8 the Washingtovian Lomo, thoy have no monoy,” aud other equally flattorivg comments upon tho obstinate protestors ngainst incorporat- od greodiness. "Tlioso had ouly tho effect, bow- over, of strengthouiug their determination, aud, at lnst, ns the conductor saw thoy were not to bo imposed upon, bie startsd up the driver, avd the car procooded on its way.
