RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT. Non-Sectarian—A11 Churches and all Creeds. 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.

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. WHITE.
