80 How Is it that a flag has come to
bear so much Importance and express
such manifold meaning as it does9 1t
+ is the emblem Of Ztrinmphl def,
anee and endurance. 1t is the
vehicle Of maritime conversation
and symbol of earthly power. 1t is Ma
tional, commercial and personal. 1t is
not merely decorative, but significant.
It marks-the war feet and the mRrcan-
tile marines the army ID the field and
the sleeping plSce Of the warrior in the
cathedral. Even those phases OF SEN
timent which are common to the whole
I world are conveyed by it. In all Ma
tions a white flag indicates the desire
for truce or peace, while generally .
yellow one means the presence OF some
plague; red denotes defiance or battle,
and black marks the pirstee The flag
not only rdesignates, the ship, the regis
ment, the castle am the fort, but forms
z the frequent equipment of the school
Of the Church. When people or a
place makes holiday, the amount Of
enthusiasm felt may be mostly meas
ured by the number of banners that are
displayed. Victories in battles are i'm
mediately estimated by the flags quite
as much as by the cannon that are cap
tured- In peace and war the flag is
importunately pre-eminent. We make
songs to it; it is the object of respect
full salutation and vehicle of deadly IN
suit. DO we annex or occupy q fresh
country or place. the act of occupation
is incomplete till, with all the cere-
mony, a flag IS hoisted on q pole.
The loweTingof it is the universally ac-
cepted admission of surrender or de-
: feat. And yetit is the 1imsiest, most
tickle instrument or material that can
be used. We talk or sing of its g BRAY.
ing for thousand years the, battle and
the breeze. Nevertheless, 1t yields to
every wind that blows, hutters into
rags in q gale and presents the mimi
mum ofTesistanee TO fifey sword and
bullet. 1t is the sport of the air and
prey of the moth. No doubt, howeV-
er, its extreme ightness is its great
recommendation. 1t is easy to carry,
to raise, to wsve and to shift It rep
resents the largest surface that can be
packed in the least space. Perhaps,
however, being easily moved by the
wind, the chief secret of its universal
adoption lies in the fact that even in
the gentlest breeze it always indicates
life. 1t is not merely the, highest and
handiest instrument for signalling, but
it is the iveliest. When left to itself,
it goes on tapping and futtering on
its own account. Though the cannon
of the fort he silent, their smoke dis
persed and not human head show it
self above the rampant, the uuwearied
flag still goes on saying its say, and
haunts defiance or bears its airy wit
ness TO the survival Of the bo1nbsrded
foe. He may be hard hit and distressed,
but his flag asserts itself with perhaps
even livelier protest when half OF its
body has been shot away. The flag
never gives in. .Nailit to the staff and,
as long as a rag is left it denies sub

years ago, fell. She gave him a date
and asked him on what day it fell. He
promptly informed her. She locked at
the almanac for that year, month and
day. Alas for Charlie! thought she, as
his answer did not agree with the clma-
nae. Charlie wouldn't give up, howeV-
er, but declared that he knew the alma
nae was wrong. Haven't you another
almanac of that yearp" inquired one OF
Charles confidential friends. g
have,n replied the lady, and produced
it. On comparing the two almanacs 1t
was discovered that the first one was
wrong, and that Charlie was right,
mistake having been made by the party
who compiled the almanac.
His habits are peculiar. He never
plays with other boys, but is continual
" busy in reading. Oftentimes he takes
an unabridged dictionary and studies it
hour after hour, never seeming to con-
slider it any thing but pleasure to DO
it. In fact, he takes no comfort unless
busying his brains about something. II
there IS any thing he does not under
stand he keeps at it till he does under
stand it; then it is next to impossible
for him to forget it. One would natural
" suppose that a child with such unusu-
al powers would gradually fail and fade
away, but, singularly enough, he is con-
stantly growing stronger and more
healthy.
Very many will think, perhaps, that
his ability in giving the day OF the
week, etc., on which date falls, is an
act of memory merely, and that he has
learned what day of the week each date
for several years past has fallen on.
This is not so, however. He does it by
some mathematical process, as he as
readily answers about dates the days OF
the week of which he has never seen.
What this process is he himself can not
explain.
Scarcely any of the above will seem
credible, but we assure the readers OF
the Commercial that it is true in every
particular, as scores of those acquainted
with the circumstances can testify. The
lad is, we repeat, one of the most Won
derful in the world, and his career will
be watched with interest.

Recalled to Life.

The recall of country girl to life by
a sisters shrek is one of the local topics
of the Journal, of Evansville, Ind.
The young lady had been quiet i'll for
weeks, and was thought to be dying o.
consumption. She had grown so weak
and emaciated that her strength was no
more than child's. One afternoon,
while lying upon her couch, her sister
came in from a walk and sal by the bed
side. A conversation began, and the
invalid began to speak. AS she uttered
the first word, she felt bewildering
weakness, aud sinking futter of her
breath. Her eyes became fixed, the
lower jaw dropped as in death, and the
body became motionless, while con-
sciousness disappeared. The sister
leaped from her seat, and ran to the
door shrieking to her mother that her
sister was dead. The sound of the
shrek penetrated through the veil of
death, and reused the sinking faculties.
The blood, which had congested in the
lungs, was sent back by the nervous
shock, and gathering her strength by a
strong effort of will, the invalid opened
her eyes and awoke to life again, breath
less and amazed at the thrilling peril
she had escaped.

water till the poison is all absorbed from

usual way, that is to intoxicate. When
you begin to feel that, you are very sure

What We Would DO.

The prOdlgles or gOOu we snoulu ac-
complish under certain circumstances
are somewhat marvellous. If we pos
sessed the money of this one, the leisure
of another, the strength and talent OF a
third, the firm health of our neighbor,
the education of our first cousin, the ex-
perience of this friend or the happy
temperament of that, mankind would be
largely benefited by our example, we
fondly believe. We build castles with
materials belonging to others, which
would be perpetual rebuke if they could
only descry the towers thereof against
their mental horizon. 1t is kind OF
amelioration of our own infelicities and
imbecilities to perceive how little the su-
perior conditions of our fellows have
availed them. We are not glad that
they have wrapped their talent in a nap
kin instead of putting it out at interest,
but we fancy it excuses our own short
comings in a degree: if they failed, with
such odds in their favor, what could be
expected of us, already overweighted
for the contest by poverty or infirmlty,
or by want of proper trainingP II we
were as rich, for instance, as our great
uncle Cresus, how differently we should
employ our surplus income! We should
send anonymous bank bills to genteel
and INDECENT families we wot of; we
should increase the welfare of certain
good clergymen sub rosa; we
should replenish the coal bins
of widowed washer-women; we
should order no end of water-color
drawings from the young wom-
en- who are trying to keep their heads
above water, we should even do violence
to our own aesthetic taste, and purchase
some of the crude work of artists not
born to fame; we should plan pleasant
surprises for poor shop girls and teach
ers; we should pay seamstresses little
more than they demand, and remember
the birthdays of poor relations. The
value of our gifts should be great in
proportion to the slender means of the
the recipient; we should not only edu-
cate certain youths who show signs OF
talent, but lend helping hand to those
who gave no sign, as being in the great
er need of development, it may be; we
should, moreover, have no picked-up
dinners and wear no patched garments,
while the naked and hungry are always
with US. What languages we should
master, what sciences should we not
make our own, if we possessed the leis-
ure of certain acquaintances! Does any
flower blossom whose times and seasons
we should not know? or any bird fly
whose habits and notes we should not
recognizeP What acquaintance we
might cultivate with the literatures of
the wide world, and what time might
we not lend to the teaching of others?
But the chief danger in thus considering
the mote in our neighbours eye lies in
the fact that we are apt to become so
engrossed in the analysis as to ignore
the responsibilities of our own position,
and leave room for others, even less fa-
vored of fortune than ourselves, to find
similar causes of dissatisfaction in our
use of our own advantages. .-Harper'S
Bdzar.

-"Bub, did you ever stop to think, "
