THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL
CONTENTION.
This body held its seoond triennial session
in this city daring the past week. We were not
prepared for the magnitude of its importance,
It was composed of representative men from al-
parts of the country. A most excellent spirit
of piety and good cheer pervaded the entire
body, and continued during the entire session.
Now it has gone, it has left not only most pre
cious memories, but much of useful truth and
Sunday-school plans in our community and
State.
It left this with us, and will carry out from us,
a spirit of fraternal love and Christian fellow
ship beneath whose burning rays the efforts of
the hate-lovers must vanish like frost work be.
fore the sun of the tropics. It would have been
impossible for four hundred representative
men from all parts of the country to have met
and to have simply exchanged greetings with
out cftring great good to the country. But these
have done more. They have sung and prayed
and talked together about Jesus and the little
children that He loves. They will go away and
it will doubtless be seen that a “little child shall
lead” without fear or danger, the beasts which
have heretofore been animals of hate and terror.
If North and South, East and West, would meet
together often er in this way we would under
stand each other better, and discord would be
forgotten and unknown.
Delegates from the provences of Canada
were present and upon their earnest invitation
the next session of the convention was elected
to be held at Toronto.
Rev. A. G. Haygood, D.D.,
— ON—
DR. EDWARDS’ “WAR-WHOOP.”
In the last issue of the South Carolina Advo
cate, Rev. Dr. Haygood reviews with trenchent
pen and commendable spirit one of the character
istic war-whoops of Dr. Arthur Edwards of Chi
cago. Dr. Edwards seems to get his living
by dishing out the most nauseous and slander
ous editorials against the South. He seems to
be controlled by habit now, and we are of the
opinion that his criminality lies more in hav
ing ever contracted such a habit than it does in
the present uncontrollable use of it. We would
entertain some hopes of reformation, in view of
Dr. Haygood’s kindly and easily understood
rebuke, but we know him too well. He seems
utterly incapable of understanding or believing
anything that militates against his ungodly
theories of malicious criticism of the South.
We know of one case in which he published
a private letter from a Southern man, who re
monstrated with him about some of his wildly
heated and unjust statements—wrote a criticism
of the letter in his paper, and then utterly refused
to publish a reply from the gentleman in defense
of himself. This might have seemed just enough
for a Chicago editor of the politic-religious schoo^
who can’t see the difference between the South
ern Confederacy and the M. E. Church South,
but he will possibly find some people worthy at
least of a hearing, who will differ with him. It
may seem to be in accord with the piety of a
D.D. whoipopuh rizesjtne profanity of the street
by translating it into pure English; but it may
not be amiss to say we have not so learned
Christ.
We feel under obligations to Dr. Haygood for
his well-timed article. The evident Christian
spirit which permeates it is in striking contrast
with that devilish ^animosity which talks of
“drafts on Dives.”
Dr. Edwards may depend for his success on
this kind of “war-whoop” writing, but we wish
to say to him that fraternal love based on
oharity is progressing too rapidly for him to
save himself with the angry cry, “Great is Di
ana of the Ephesians.” Many people on both
sides of Mason's and Dixon’s line are beginning
to classify such cries more as reports of the sil.
ver market than as an expression of religious
enthusiasm.
The Jewish Psalter.
From the French by Albert Reville.
For this reason, the poetr >. of the Jewish na
tion is eminently subjective. The Hebrew pott
sings as he feels, for as long a time, and with
the same limitations; do not ask him to confine
the expression of his feeling within any boun
daries determined in advance by the exigencies
of good taste or of logio. The melody ceases
abruptly, and usually we cannot tell why it stops,
or why it did not stop before. Many Hebrew
songs end, like many German books we know,
with some detail, the foot yet lifted for another
step. It is because the poet had finished what
he had to say. With the earless freedom of the
individual who takes whatever may be useful to
him, witout himself consenting to any subjec
tion, he seize at will upon whatever nature fur
nishes in the way of analogies, symbols or com-
K risons. Hence that profusion of images, of
Id metaphors, of prosopopoea, which has
always astonished, and which often charms, the
Western mind. In Hebrew poetry there are sing
ing mountains, islands that leap for joy, floods
which clap their hands, divine nostrils smok
ing with anger. Our classic taste cannot always
reconcile itself to these audacities, before which
the boldest romanticist themselves recoil; but
in the original, impregnated with the perfume
of antiquity, this vigerous taking possession of
nature lends a great charm to these lyric tones
of the ancient East. ,. ,
It has often been asked, and the questioij has
never been, and can never be fully answered,
what was the form of verse among the Hebrews.
Without entering into an analysis of the theories
and discussions of this difficult subject; we re
mark that one noteworthy fact is the very origi
nal character of symmetry which rules through
out in the poetic compositions of Israel, namely:
that rhyme of the thought, which we designate
as parallelism, consisting in the resemblance of
the idea expressed by two or more verses. As
its most frequent form we find two verses; each
expressing the same idea in different language,
asm Psxviii.-IG- It is this rythmic osciila-
ttion of thought that M E. Quinet compares to
C balancing of a sling. In other cases the
parallelism requires three or four verses. Else
where, again, the verses are so constructed that
in every four the first two and the last rhyme in
ideas; or, the third combines with the first and
the fourth with the second. This, which is a sort
of counterpart to our alternate rhymes, is well
exhibited in Ps. xix.: 'The law of the Lord is
perfect,—restoring the soul; the teaching of the
Lord is sure,—rejoicing the heart;’ &e.
Very often the combinations change in the
same piece of composition, but, in some way,
this parellelism is always present. In transla
tions it docs much to slaken the movement of the
original poetry. Many repetitions which are full
of strength and grace in the Hebrew, degener
ate in our versions into simple monotony.
Without recurring to the idea of a slipg, which
certainly has no very intimate association with
a kind of pantomime or dance, where move
ments combined two by two in some way called
for the,two-fold expression of the thought ?
Dissent must also be expressed from the wide
spread error which represents Hebrew poetry
as exclusively consecrated to religious themes.
This idea has arisen very naturally from the
fact that almost all the Hebrew compositions
we possess are upon subjects of this nature.
Under the control of the same illusion it has
been customary to designate the Bible as the
national library of the Jews. But the books of
which it is composed represent but one phase
of their ancient literature, the only one that
has come down to us. It was to confirm the
faith and strengthen the religious knowledge of
their countrymen and not for love of art, that
the rulers of the synagogue, after the return
from captivity, gathered these scattered books
into a collection. They made a choice, guided
by motives which had absolutely nothing liter
ary in them; but from these very books, we
learn of the existence of a long and precious
series of national or popular poems without
direct, or perhaps without any, relations to re
ligion. In Israel, as among all nations, there
were songs of love, of war, and of victory. Col
lections of such songs are quoted from, here
and there, in the canonical books. Ancient
Israel had also its epithalamia, its laments, and
dirges for the dead. Poetry had its share in
the village amusements, as well as in the great
experiences of the tribe. In the evening, gath
ered around the well, the shepherds and hun
ters entertained themselves with singing and
the accompaniment of their rustic instruments.
The virgins of Gilead had their lamentation
over the daughter of Jephtha, the victim of her
father’s cruel imprudence, and the virgins of
Shiloh formed choruses every year. Young
men loved to repeat the elegy which David, the
bold warrior, wrote upon the death of his friend
Joqjtthan. The discovery of a spring of water
inspired a song of rejoicing, and the smith,
hammering at his anvil, repeated the rude ac
cents of the song of Lantech (Gen. iv. 23, 24).
Finally, among the amusements of the festival
was the proposing of enigmas in verse.
It seems indeed, and the idea i s not incon
sistent with the actual history of the Israelites,
that the further we go back into the past, the
less does their poetry bear a specially religious
stamp. It was only towards the last of its in
dependent existence that its faith became the
absorbing object of thought and affection with
this people. In its heroic age it shared with
the restof the world the taste for bold adventure,
an implacable hatred of its neighbors, the intox
ication of victories. The conqueror in his
hymns of triumph was not contented with ex
tolling his own prowess, he pursued with mal
edictions or with sarcasms his conquered or
slaughtered foe. Returning from the warlike
expedition, he was received by the women of
his tribe who came to meet him, dancing and
singing to the sound of timbrels, eager to share
the booty. To the bravest, the fairest, as in
the Macedonian victories. In another order of
emotions, the idyl, the pastoral, had their piace
in the old Hebrew poetry. It is these poetical
compositions, peaceful or warlike, which have
preserved and sometimes embellished the mem
ory of the facts more or less legendary of their
ancient history, serving as a basis for the prose
recitals of the books of Genesis, of Joshua, Jud
ges, and in part, the Kings.
There is no reason to be surprised at the
small number of fragments which have come
down to us. These ancient compositions were
rude, they betrayed a grossness of manner which
shocked the decorum of a more civilized age,
and, above all, they must often have been of
fensive to the sombre orthodoxy ot the times in
which this collection for the uses of the syna
gogues was made. It was the fixed idea of the
leaders of Judaism in the centuries immediately
preceding our era, that their rigid monotheism,
and their ritual observances went back to David,
to Moses, and even an earlier date. These very
documents whose conservation we owe to them
demonstrate how great was their self-deception,
but this was no fault of theirs, and we may be
sure that they did nothing to preserve from
oblivion that which appeared to them evident
ly contrary to the faith and law of their times.
Thus we may assume that the Psalms are ve
ry far from representing all the lyric poetry of
Israel, and we must draw too from this general
survey conclusions unfavorable to the high an.
tiquity of this collection. Such a conside ra
tion by no means diminishes their aesthetic
merit, nor their importance as a historical mon.
ument There came a day when, without abat
ing in their colossal ambition, the Jews perceiv
ed that they were of importance in the world
only through their religious originality. Their
last period of glory, the time of the Maccabees,
had no other efficient cause than this convic
tion, henceforth indelible, of the solidarity, of
the fusion—to speak more accurately—of the
national and the religious interest. It is easy
to understand that, as this sentiment grew, the
popular lyre vibrated only in those chords which
found an echo in the multitude. ‘Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth’ singeth, even
more truly than it ‘speaketh.’
Thus instructed as to the place that the
Psalms occupy, in respect to Jewish poetry in
general, we may now proceed to examine the
more salient phenomena which recommend
them to our notice.
The first peculiar trait to be noticed, is what
we may call the familiarity of the Psalmists
when they address Jehovah, whom, however,
they know how to conceive and describe as a
Being infinitely august and to be feared. Their
invocations suppose an intimacy which would
easily disconcert a faith less sure of itself. Their
piety does not recoil, even from the idea of ad
dressing explicit reproaches to this Protector of
Israel, who leaves his innocent people so long a
prey to the reviling and abuse of their enemies.
Thus in Psalm xliv., we find a long enumera
tion of the woes of all kinds which afflict the
people of the Lord. They are conquered, pil
laged, dispersed, sold for a contemptible price,
delivered as sheep to the slaughter, the scorn
and derision of other nations. And the Psalm
ist continues, addressing himself to the Lord:
'All this has happened unto us, but we have
not forgotten thee; we have not renounced thy
covenant. Our heart has not been turned away:
our steps have not gone astray from thy paths,
although thou hast trodden us under foot among
jackals, and hast plunged us into darkness. If
we had forgotten the name of our God, and
stretched out our hands towards a stranger! It
is for thee that we are slain every day. Arise!
why sleepest thou, O Lord ? Awake! why hidest
thou thy faece? Dost thou forget our poverty
and our oppression ?’
Under a much less trivial form, this is really
the very same idea as in the mediasval Mystery
where, during the crucifixtion, we see the Eter->
nal Father, profoundly asleep in Paridise, until
the moment when an angel comes to pull his
blue sleeve, and awaken him to notice the atro
city going on upon the earth. And for all tnis,
we find, however, in the same collection,
Psalms where the notion of the infinity of God,
of the insignificance of man in the presence of
Divine Omnipotence, and yet of the high rank
assigned to the human race in creation, is ex
pressed in a form so beautiful, so simple, so el
evated, that it has become - classic. There is
nothing more natural or exquisite than the
eigth Psalm, which appears to be the song of a
shepherd, contemplating by night the splendor
of an Eastern sky. We cannot be mistaken in
characterizing this as an admirable pure out
burst of the most genuine religious feeling. It
is in compositions like this that the Jewish
monotheism reveals its immense superiority
over the best utterances of the natural religions.
This tone of humility towards God, and at the
same time mastership toward all that is not
man, this impassioned but self-controlled ad
miration of visible nature, this joy in living as
master upon earth by Divine right,everything in
this little poem breaths a virile and healthy re
ligion. How we should rejoice to find every
where in the annals of piety that harmony of
two tendencies, perfectly reconcilable with one
another, but too often, to man s misfortune,
placed by him in positions of mutual antagon
ism! Either Buddhist, that fs to say inert and
passive; or active, but in revolt; it would seem
as if he ceuld not find the middle term! And
yet, this middle term exists, a^|id it is because
containing it, that this eighth Psalm is so beau
tiful.

Somethin? About Noses.—Tueir Character
and Expression.
BY B. M. O.
Not a reader of the Sunny South, but that
can boast of a nose of some sort, and as it is
more or less indicative of some mental character,
it is well to read our own noses and those of
our friends, acquaintances and neighbors.
The nose viewed physiologically, is primarily
the organ of smell. Being connected with the
lnngs its openings or nostrils bear definite re
lation to the size of the chest and afford indica
tions of the breathing power. The development
of its cavity has also an influence upon the
voice.
Noses are classified as follow* :
The Roman nose is the executive, the ener
getic, the powerful, and the power loving nose.
Whenever you see a woman with that sort of
nose, you may know she is a ruler and master
mind in her house. Not inclined to lean much
on any one.
The Greek nose is the index of refinement
taste, elegance and love of art. A woman with
such a nose, enjoys a fiDe parlor and will have
one if she is able- Foud of niee and delicate
work.
The Jewish nose indicates acquisitiveness and
the commercial spirit, as well as great energy
and perseverance. A woman with such a nose,
will be a careful and prudent housewife, not
given to extravagance, Will always look ahead.
The Snub or Pug nose indicates undevelop-
ment, the nose ot childhood and weakness. A
woman with such 9. nose will mt in positive
character, want energy, vim and,executive skill;
will be a poor housekeeper.
The Celestial or Turned-up nose indicates in
quisitiveness; a disposition to make inquiries
and find out secrets. A wornin with such a
nose, is ever on the lookout to hear somet hing
rich and racy ; and can enjoy a secret amazing
ly* .
The negro nose, the pure * jAj, is a snub or
pug nosq, an undeveloped 5£*a sin king in the
middle atnQ large trod full si ,/.4e'ATr\viih large
notrils, indicative of good bretlhing power.
The Cogitative nose, is long and broad, and
indicative of thought, hence Napoleon wanted
men with big noses.
The;Apprehensive nose is long and has a curve
of the hawk-bill’order. Such noies.are always on
the lookout for “breakers,” and never run into
danger if they know it.
The Melancholy nose is long and thin, and
seems as if it wanted to rest on the lips. It is a
sad looking nose, and excites pity when seen.
Clergymen who dwell more on fear than hope,
soon cultivate their noses to take the melancholy
cast.
The inquisitive nose will always have a
turned up look, as if it wanted to ask a question
or find out something.
The Toper’s nose is known by its peculiar
sign—red and full at the end.
We then have the defensive nose; the Irrita
ble nose; Intellectual nose; Aggressive nose;
Secretive nose; Confiding nose; Acquisitive
nose; Economical nose;—but we would have to
illustrate them with cuts for the reader to fully
understand their character.
NATIONAL TYPES.
We now come to the national type of noses:
The American nose is a nine combination of
the Roman and Grecian; haq fight in it, and at
the same time enjoys art. There is also some
thing of Jewish type in it, especially at the
North—the love of inquisitiveness.
The German nose is broader but less promi
nent than the American, and partakes more of
the thoughtfnl cast
The English nose shows more prominence
above the center in the region of attack, than
either the American or German. It is at the
same time thicker than the American, and has
wider nostrils.
The Irish oi the higher classes have very
beautiful noses of both the Greek and the Ro
man type. The lower classes have more of the
Roman type, and are never so happy than when
they are using the shillelah over eaoh others
heads.
The French nose is thinner and sharper than
the English. A close approach to the Grecian
type is more common among the Freneh than
among the English or the Americans.
The Russian nose of the lows: class is of the
Snnbor-Celestial ; undevelopal and wanting in
intelligence. The noblemen and higher classes
have well developed nasal organs.
The North American Indian very generally
has a nose closely approaching the Roman type,
but lacking in the length of the true Roman nose.
The nostrils are large, betokening good lungs.
The Chinese or Mongolian nose is of the Snub
nose order, and is wanting in strong character, g
The Nose it will be seen is then no mean or
gan of the face, and is indicative of character,
development and progress. It is made for
something else besides smelling, blowing, or
filling with snuff. Next to the eye, it is our
most marked organ. A skillful dissembler may
disguise, the expression of the mouth by a mus
tache ; the hat may be pulled ever the eyes or
glasses change their natural expression ; the
chin may be hidden in a beard, and the forehead
covered by a hat, or the dressing of the hai-1
but the nose will btand out and declare itself in
spite of all the precautions, and your disposi
tion and character will be read by it. So culti
vate the nose to your advantage.
Mr. Theodore Tilton, away out in Iowa, was
Utterly overcome by the startling aud unexpect
ed confession of his wife. This must be so, be
cause he told it to a friend and straightway
melted into tears. He was thereafter kept so
busy brushing away tears that he concluded he
would have no tim9 for anything else, and gave
notice that he should have no more to say on
the subject.
