IMPRESS One THoUGHr.-To gain the
great end of teaching, the teacher should 60
to his class each Sabbath feeling that he has
one important thought to impress that day
upon each member Of his class. He may
teach and will teach, more things than one !;
but he will make a cad mistake if he does
not stamp one strong thought on the mind of
each pupil. Nor will he be apt to do this
without deciding, before going to his class,
what that thought shall be. Thus let the
teacher prayerfully scan the Scripture lesson
of the day, get from it some one thought
above all others the thought needed by his
charge--and go to them resolved, by Gods aid
to have that thought firmly impressed upon
each heart and conscience. Concentrate your
efforts on that clearly defined purpose Wsst'

MESSIANIC PSALMS.

Of the Psalms of David, the 1st, I'd, 45th
and 10th, may be called especially Messiah

to all correct principles of Interpretation
these psalms can never be restricted to Da.
vid their just and personal significance all
depends upon their exclusive restriction to
Christ.
The Psalms, after depicting the moral
struggle between godliness and ungodliness
eliminated, culminate in Holy Scripture in
the life of the incarnate Son of God upon the
earth, and these psalms definitely anticipate
this elimination.
Here, more than a thousand years before
the advent of the Saviour, we have prophet.

SETTLING DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION.

Among the business men of New York it
is growing custom to refer their disputes to
arbitration. A suit at law, which lasts from
eight months to FIVE years, and costs from two
thousand to hundred thousand dollars, is it.
self too monstrous grievance to be the re-
dress of grievance. Hence, members of
our Exchanges habitually bring matters in
dispute before the Committee on Arbitration,
who give them hearing and often decide a
matter in thirty minutes which might linger
in court for years.
Most of our readers can call to mind trials
that have lasted months, and cost many tens
of thousands of dollars, only to result in a
disagreement of the jury. Some such trials
could have been settled, and settled justly,
by any fair. minded man, after a hearing Of
three hours. On grounds purely technical,
evidence is often excluded which would clear
the M tier up in ten minutes. Hence the in.
creasing popularity Of arbitration.
Perhaps there is more in this than now ap-
pears, and it may be but the beginning of
chan ges both extensive and salutary. People
laughed when some one proposed to govern
the city of New York by contract, and many
of our editorial friends have lately made
merry over the new periodical that advocates
"the abolition of the State" We do not pro-
fess to understand precisely the meaning of
this new kind of abolition 1t may be, how
ever, that many things that are now done
badly, slowly, and very rexpensively, by gov
ernment may, in the future, be done better,
quicker and cheaper by private agencies.
We can imagine private courts of arbitra-
ton, wherein one, two or three men of expe.
rience and knowledge might "make bust
ness" of deciding claims and disputes -charg.
ing proper compensation for their time and
labor. Such things may be. Meanwhile we
give the sage advice to our readers without
extra charge-to settle their differences in
any fair way except by going to law about
them.
Going to law is better than fighting, and
that is the best thing we can say for it.

CoTToN.-In ITO, there were shipped to
Liverpool three bales of cotton from New
York four bales from Virginia and Mary

1884, the year after the treaty which closed
the Revolutionary war and secured the re-
cognition of American Independence by
Great Britain, vessel that carried eight
bales of cotton from the United States to
Liverpool was seized in that port on the
ground that 80 large quantity of cotton in

CARE OF TIE EAR.-People who are in.
clined to deafness should live apart from the
loud noises of railroads, factories, iron mills,
etc. They should avoid with great care ex-
posure to cold and damp, and especially
should not wear thin shoes in walking on
damp ground or saturated brick pavements:
Children ought never to be struck on the head
with the palm of the hand, even in sport
sudden deafness results sometimes from
boxing the ears, as we'll as the rupture of the
tympanum. Often the sudden jar or shock
with the conclusion of air on the ear drives
in the stapes or inner bone, destroying its
function and diminishing the sensibility of
the nerves. A SNOWFALL thrown with force
on the ear or an accidental blow with ball
or bat may easily cause Deafness AS cold
increases deafness, it should be avoided if
possible Delicate persons should avoid
draughts on the ears, sitting in wet clothes,
sudden changes from the heated atmosphere
of crowded rooms to cold winds, and other
similar exposures.

ly damp seasons, not only the furniture, but
the walls and the paper on them, are liable to
get damaged by tho moisture in the atmos

manner. Before leaving the house, the rooms
containing furniture ought to be well fasten
ed up, to exclude as much of the outer air as
possible dish with dry chloride Of lime
should then be placed in the middle of the
apartment, and inside another larger empty
vessel, intended to receive the water flowing
out of the former. The we'll dried chloride
of lime has such an affinity for water, that it
will attract all the moisture contained in the
room and keep the air perfectly dry, so that
no harm can occur to either furniture, books,

doors and windows when the apartments are
to be occupied, as this dried air is not good
