Ongii^of 1 lie Haggagc Chock. Said ivrr. I). L. Merrell of Union City, -Mich.: "John Palmer of my town is the inventor of the baggage chocking system. I will tell you his [story as lie tohl it lo me : John Palmer was born in England some S2 years ago, and came to the United .States in 1-sosi and to Union City in 1 S3"). In those early days he was in great demand, for his violin enlivened many and many a winter night. One great annoyance ho experienced wastheconstant* trouble people had in finding their coats, hats, wraps, robes, etc., after the party broke lip. Well, it was announced that there was a big dance at JJurliugton on Thanksgiving evening, about 1850, and Mr. Palmer was to have charge of the music. He knew that there would be a terrible crowd there and that there would be lots of trouble with the clothing and he went to work to devise a plan to obviate it. "Well, after studying on it a long time, he had solved the mystery, lie u'ot out eight cards, marked them in pairs,?1 1, - <? i), 4 4,?and one of the greatest bles-ing.s to the business world was horn. Now for the lirsi test. He had four children ; he took their shoes and stockings, tied each up by themselves, put tags 1, 2, o, 4 on each lot, and put them away. When the children got up they inquired for their shoes. He gave each one the check (hat corresponded with the check on the shoes, and told them to go into the other room and pick out their own by comparing the numbers. Each child got his own. Now for a trial on a larger scale. He prepared a lot of checks in the same way for the guests at the parly. About the first to arrive were the four railroad men from Marshall. Three took their checks; one would not have the thing and threw it on the lloor. When they called for their clothes they had forgotten all about the checks and demanded their t hi ill's. Mr. Palmer asked them for their checks. After hunting some time the three produced their checks and at once received their goods. They had to identify the goods for the fourth man. nul.n?4i.? 4 ImW tliarn tvoa PIIWI II y iUlfl llliit lliviv " imvui er parly at iiurlington, and among the lir?t to arrive were six railroad men from Marshall, including the first four. They said they wanted their things checked tlie same as before. They watched the plan the whole evening ami went siwav convinced that they had found a grand idea. Inside of three mouths it was adopted by the railroad companies of the United Siales." Kniming Away. A lady who dot's not believe in the pro-fill "high pressure*' system of work and nuin.-cment says that she owes her placidity of disjunction and her capacity for endurance, to an old habit of running away. "When I was a child," she says, "1 had a notoriously hot temper. As soon as my mother saw one of the !i is coming on, she used to say gently, 'Perhaps you'd b 'tier run away a little while, dear.' Then I would take ni}' sled or my little garden hoe, according to the season, dash out of doors, and stay there until the evil spirit had passed by. "We kept up that little habit, my mother and I. I entered the young ladies' seminary of our town, and there I worked very hard, but, unlike many of the girls, I did not break lit ?? i)twv? vi liiwviivi "wnuu that my forehead was beginning to tie itself up in a knot over my books she would say: " 'IUm away for an hour, daughter. The sunshine is very bright, and I 'want you to go out and soak yourself : in it.' "Of course, I didn't always want to go, but mother could be firm as well as j indulgent, and the result was that I ; did a great deal of running away, cithYr to bed or into open air. The other ! girls kept themselves awake on cofl'ee, in order to study late at night, and !some of them did outstrip me in book | knowledge. Still. I came to believe so fully in my mother's prescription, that I made it one of my rules of life, and I am consequently one of the people who have 'lived to light another day.' ? ? mto ? Mki.i.-Hackikick.?In the Bodleian Library sit Oxford is a most touching ! loco ill "of heroism and self-sacrifice on the part of a child? a record to touch one's heart with its pathos. The tower door of St. Leonard's Church, liridgeworth, Kngland, was left open, and two young boys wandering in, were tempted to mount to the upper part, and scrambled from beam to beam. All at once a joist gave way. The beam on which they were standing became displaced. The elder had just time to grasp it when falling, while the younger, slipping over bis body,cauhgt hold of his comrade's legs. In this fearful position the poor lads hung, crying vainly for help, for no one was near. At length the boy clinging to the l>< am became exhausted. lie could no longer support the double weight. He called out to the lad below that they were both done for. "Could you save yourself if I were to loose you?" replied the little lad. "f think 1 t.iiiiM " I'ntiiriit'il (ho old IT. 'Then good-bye, and C?od bless you !" cried tin* little fellow, loosing Ins hold. A nollier second and he was dashed to pieces on the stone lloor below. 11 is companion elanibered to a place of safety. A friend of the School for Young Women in Columbus, Miss., says that the idea on which the school is founded is that "women, being physically weaker than men, should be more carefully educated in order that they may make tlie most of such oppoitunitics as are oilcivd them." This school has moiv thau iiuti hoarders, and they are tailv'ht, a*dde from the regular jcouiry ?>f study, various kinds of housewoik. telegraphy, type-writing, typcjselling, stenography, art decoration, wood carving, tires.-making, as they may elect, and all are carried to a proj ticiuicy to etialde self-support, ll is clainitd by the supporters of the school that the young women, when they have linbhcd their course, are as well lilted as science can make them for earning a living unaided, or for making a borne happy by a proper performance of those domestic duties ! which fall to the part of wife and mother. '\ hose who apply themselves too much to little things commonly become incapable of great ones. L . - Flag" Lore. To "strike a flag" is to lower the national colors in token of submission. Flags are used as the symbol of rank and command, the officers using them being called flag otlicers. Such flags are square fo distinguish them from other banners. A "flag of truce" is a white flag displayed to an enemy to indicate a desire for a parley or consultation. The white flag is a sign of peace. After a battle parties of both sides often go out to the field to rescue the wounded or bury the dead under the protection of :i white flag. The rod flag is a sign of defiance, and is often used by revoluionists. In our service it is a mark of danger, and and shows a vessel to be receiving or discharging her powder. The black flag is a sigu of piracy. The yellow flag shows a vessel to be at quarantine, or is the sign of a contagious disease. A flag at half mast means mourning. Fishing and other vessels return with a flag at half mast to announce the loss or death of some of the men. Dipping the flag is lowering it slightly and then hoisting it again to salute a vessel or fort. If the president of the United States goes afloat the American flag is carried in the bows of his barge or hoisled at the main of the vessel on board of which lie is.?Journal of Education. ? Funny, but wjio Blames tiik Cjiim)??At a recent Sunday-school service, tbe clergyman wis illustrating the necessity of Christian profession in order properly to enjoy the blessing of Providence in this world, and to make it apparent to the youthful mind, he he said : "For instance, I want to introduce water into my house. The pipes and faucets and every convenience are in good order, but I get no water. Can any of you tell me why 1 do not get any water?" He expected the children to see that it was because he had not made a connection with the main in the street. The boys looked perplexed. They could not see why the water should refuse to run in his premises after such faultless plumbing. "Can no one tell me what I have neglected V" reiterated the good man, looking over the flock of wondering faces bowed down by the weight of the problem. "1 know," squeaked a little five-year-old. "You don't pay up." The Living Church. MttUodixt Recorder. The Michigan Christian Advocate, in speaking of noisy preaching, makes this sensible quotation from Wesley. In writing to one of the American I oieachcrs he said : "Scream no more at tiie peril of your soul. God now warns you by me whom lie has set over you. Speak as earnestly as you lean, but do nuts-cream. Speak with jail your hearl. but with a moderate j voice. I often speak loud, often vcheI inently, but 1 never scream ; I never |strain myself; I dare not; I know it would be a sin against (Sod and my ;-oul. Perhaps one reason why that {rood man, 'lhoiuas Walsh, yea, and John Manners, too, were in such grievous darkness before they died, was because they shortened their own lives." Earnestness may lead to energetic and even vehement speech; but mere noise is no sign of earnestness. Indeed, more noise will dissipate true earnestness and substitute for it empty rant. A speaker who is earnest will hold himself in control. This attention will be fastened upon the theme which he is developing, and this may enthuse him with earnestness, but at the same time it will inspire him with a feeling of the necessity of keeping " ' # * - * A* l.? I IHw. , an 111s lacuuies unuci uuuuui. i utmost intense earnestness is tliat in wliich tendency to loud declamation is suppressed by holding in check passionate utterance. The very force of the power that controls the feelings gives the impression of earnest power. Central Methodist. There is one Methodist preacher at least who is in favor of making proper provision for wornout preachers, and he expresses his views in strong, forceful language. A telegram in the daily press of February -4, says: "Rev. J. U. Hamilton, of Brooklyn, addressed the Boston Methodist ministers this forenoon in denunciation of the treatment by that denomination of its superannuated pastors. In the course of his address, he said: 'When I get ready to give the Church the facts I have gathered I can work a revolution. .Sullhv i- to say that the condition of the veterans of Methodism lias ceased frv l>n II flwnnu it Jet *1 MMDin Tf i( it IU UC 1* Ollilliix. iv n? ?.* vinuvi lb ill not remedied it will bring a curse upon the Church." The Church will agree with him in the opinion, that ample provinion should ue made for the superannuated preacher. A man who served his country three months, and become disabled in consequence, receives a liberal pension, but these veterans of the Church, no longer able to labor, are put off with only a pittance. It is high time the Church was opening her eyes?and pockets?to these facts. 1!'. Lcds, clikfstian Tkaoiiino.?Oil, that the teaching was that of a truly Christian state, the forgiveness of injuries, national helpfulness, just, honorable, straightforward dealing, and indeed everything in practice which thy "new commandment" involves. No place for standing armies in such a state ! So far, also, from Ilie thing being impracticable, such a condition prevailed in Pennsylvania (ur many years after its foundation, notwithstanding that the "savages" were in the woodland all around ih, and that people of many nationalities and religious opinions came from Europe to the hospitable commonwealth in the West, where such a thing as a soldier was nowhere to be seen, llow long must we continue \.o point buck ward to "the holy experiment V" Xnf J 'oil: (lirixtitm A ilcoralc. By hit incrcdildc can h ssnms, a lnhiixhr /km inflicted a great pain upon a bereaved family. We forgot his appointment to conduct a I'll u era I. His only apology was! hut lie "had forgotten all uhoui the funeral." J; probalily arises, when il occurs, from the uli-1 surd habit that some ministers have of making no paiticular preparation to speak at a funeral. If any thing requires premeditation, it is what shall be said at a funeral service. He who truly sympathizes will always call at the. iiou.-e, even if it be for live minutes. after he hears that lie is to attend a funeral, and place himself in such relations to the situation as will qualify him to administer consolation or admonition in the spirit and understanding also. Our pleasures are in exact proportion to our duties. You can tell how :i Christian is sanctified as you do about a disease, l>y bis tongue. Comparison, more than reality, makes men luippy, and can make them wretched. Sin is to be overcome, not so much by maintaining a d rect opposition to it, as by cultivating opposition principles. It is wonderful what strength and boldness of purpose and energy of will come from the feeling that we are in the way of duty. We are never more subject to attack from our spiritual enemies than when in the garden of ease. There is less danger for us when out in the conflict of life than when we sit down to rest. A religion that never suliices to govern a man will never suflice to save him ; that which does not sufficiently distinguish him from a wicked world will never distinguish him from a perishing world.

U1IU ,WIIO pursues UJ1S IUUISC will soon admire Ins own errors, credit his own lies, and take pleasure in hitown wickedness. .The only way to eternal life is through the all-sufficient atonement of a dying Saviour, and the only evidence of our interest in his blood, a heart sanctified by his Spirit, and a life dedicated to his glory. We must lie in our own inner, secret lives what we want our permanent influence to be. This we can become by seeking more and more the permeation of our whole being by the loving indwelling Spirit of Christ. One of the greatest needs of the Church is sanctified lips. A tongue ol (ire is not enough, for, according to St. 1 James, it may be set on lire from the wrong place. It is vain to talk of a i clean heart without a clean mouth. I am certain that it is impossible to keep the law toward one's neighboi except one loves him. The law itself is infinite, reaching to such delicacies of action that the man who tries most will be the man most aware of defeat. We are not made for law, but for love. Love is law, because it is infinitely more than law. Somcbodv has said: "Hidden sin has a chance to become firmly rooted before we attempt seriously to deal with it." Is it not often rooted before we are aware of it? Hence the importance of daily examination and praying, ''Cleanse thou me from secret faults." "If 1 regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." Carry a pleasant or, at least, a placid countenance around with you. There is nothing gained by going up and down the streets with a sour, wrinkled, clouded visage. You appear to be ag gravating your own misery ; possibly you are making yourself miserable without real cause. Ilere is a dead loss of both reputation and character as regards yourself. Then, in your relation to others, you are impairing your chances aud your ability to be helpful aud agreeable. Whoever thinks these matters unworthy of consideration has a very distorted view of life aud duty. Sympathy with others is not learned without personal suffering. The power to comfort grows out of our own afflictions. -Depend upon it, those useful workers whom you so much envy have tneir private gneis wuieu minister to their usefulness, or keep them under their success. Those whom the Lord honors in public lie chastens in private. These sicknesses and sorrows of ours have a fertilizing elt'ect, or al least they ought to have. Every cold wind as well as every sunbeam helps to put oil into the olives and grace into believers. Child of God, let your first waking act each morning be to remind yourself (1) that your every sin is washed away by the blood of Christ; (2) that you are wholly his by purchase, and by deliberate self-surrender; (3) that thus there is now no cloud, nor even shadow, between your soul and God ; (4) that the Lord assumes the hourly keeping of the life and walk thus committed to him. Let this morning act lie the continuing attitude of the soul all (lay. il interrupted oy momeiuafy failure, let instant confession restore rull eominunion. ^ 4 ? ? Here is an exceedingly pertinent little story : "A boy went once lo a cnmp-mceling. While his mother was putting him to heel one night he heaid a great noise in the next tent. 'What is that, mother?' 'It is a man praying, my son, and I should judge by the way he prays he wanted to be wholly the Lord's.' 'Why don't he, then?' Sure enough ! We hear people say they want to be wholly the Lord's. People do what they want to do. There is no one who is determined at all hazards to be wholly for (Joel who can miss the way. Set He it at all hazards that you will go in, and the Holy Spirit wi'I lead you in."
