people is anything more than the most barren ot

M. A. BAKER,
of* ioiiV>i(‘ and ^iii-
h:ii*r(‘l ^hot Ritlcs
and Pi^toN,
Of all the difievetit [..ittenis n^w used in the United
L ly dissolved, a new association has been formed ' day by drowning all their differences in deep po
tations during the night. The eagerness with
which they contend for “vital points” is all a
sham and a preten(*e. The country is electrified
day after day at the exhibition of ardent attach
ment to fundamental principles in tavor at one
extreino or the other, i>r included in the dogmas
of (Hie party or the other. But iti the (jiiiet-hours,
when these self-sacriticiiig ofticials are supposed
to be restoring their exhausted energies by health
ful slumber, many of them are discussing with
much hilarity and more liquor the enormous
amount of humbugging the public will endure.
It is true that the sovereigns have sent these
overworked gentlemen to Washington, and it is
also true that they have been in the habit of ac-
fjuiescinjr, in a dull sort of a way, in the doings
and sayings of their legislators. The term is not
out, and people do not botlier themselves in ordi
nary times concerning the character and qualifi
cations of (’ongressmen. But there is also a
vague reliance placed upon the Representatives
wlio have been formally charged with the custody
of public interests They are expected to keep
the machinery of Government in motion, and at
least are required to see that the growth and
prosperity of the Republic are nut retarded. How
far the present (Jonirress has failed in its duty,
and how contemptible a part it wili play in the
history of this age, which shall be written hereafter,
are (juestions for the people tu answer. And if
it should be discovered that our public men are
totally unfit for the responsible stations they oc
cupy, there is yet another question to be answered,
and that is. How are we to get rid of them, and
supply their places with worthier representatives.^
Here is the true difficulty. The sovereign
people may be never-so-much disgusted, but their
servants will neither die nor resign. While we
are mending Constitutions with explanatory clauses,
and with various other addenda, let us put in a
provision for this or for a similar emergency.

The word “Selah,” which is used in the Psalms
seventy-tour times, and thrice in the prophecy of
Habakkuk, must have some significant meaning,
and yet there seems to be much doubt in reference
to the matter. It is a Hebrew word, which the
translators have lett as they found it, because they
could not agree as to its meaning. The Targum
and most ot the Jewish commentators give to the
word the meaning of eternaVy, ftrerer. The
version of the Septuagint translation appears to
have regarded it as a musical or rythmical note,
llerner regards it as indicating a change of tone;

Soniiuer, after examininj’; all the seveiity-four
passages in which the word occurs, recognises ia
every case an actual appeal or summons to Je
hovah; they are calls for aid, and prayers to be
heard, expressed either with entire directness, or
if not in the imperative, ‘Hear, .lehovahl’ and
the like, still earnest addresses to (iod, that he
would remember and hear, itc. The word itself
he regards as indicating a blast of tnmipets by
the priests. Selah itself he thinks is an abridged
expression used tor Higgaion, indicating the
sound of the stringed instrument, and Helah a
vigorous blast of trumpets. Some think the word
marks the beginning ol a new measure of versesj
and others that it joins what follows to that which
goes b(‘fore, anti shows tliat what has been said
deserves always to be remembered. Some have
thought Selah showed the cessation of the actual
inspiration of the Psalmist; and otliors that it is
feimply a note to indicate the elevation oi the
voice; still others, that it is eijuivalent to Amen,
be it so, or let it be.
