A Good Prayer.

On the morning of Fast Day, Septem.
Der 20, the editor of the Chicago I'0st
suggested TO the clergymcn Of that city
the following prayer for the occasion IL
the Throne of Grace:
I've pray Thee toincinc the hearts OF
all quartermasters aud Government con-
tractors to the ways Of righteousness and
honesty. Open their eyes to their trans
gressions, and convince them that they
are great raScaS. Show unto them the
way of truth, and set before their eyes
the light Of the revised statutes, especially
that section that relates to the crime Of
larceny. Convict them Of their iniquitics,
and, ifroSsiblc, send them to the Penitcn-
tiary.
AS for the generals in command of
our troops, We pray Thee to convince
them that good judge of Otard and Bour.
bon isn't always the best qualified to plan
or execute campaign. Give them IN )rc
knowledge and less conceit. Teach them
that the parable Of the sower was not pro-
mulgated with reference to military ope-
ratiOns, and that whose scattereth his
soldiers abroad, all over the State of Mis-
souri, and elsewhere. shall find that his la
bOrs will not yield very abundantly in the
harvest. And, finally, open Thou their
eyes to the practice Of setting traps for
rebel armies, baitcd with n handful of
men, while it may be in accordance with
trapper tactics in the Rocky Mountains,
does not always work satisfactorily in 9TH
er parts Of the country"
The closing sentences in the above I'M
mistakably refer To Fremont, and condemn
his practice Of batting Price, the rebel
General in Missouri, upon such hook ms
Lexington.

Mysteries Of a Piece Of Coal.

For years no one would suppose that a
piece Of soft coal, dug from its mine or bed
in the earth, possessed any other quality
than being combustible, or was valuable
for any other purpose than as fuel. 1t
was next found that it would afford gas
which is also combuStible. Chemical anal
ysis proved it to DC make Of hydrogen
In process Of time mechanical and chemi.
cal ingenuity devised u mode of maDufac-
turing this gas and applying it to the
lighting Of buildings and cities on large
scale. In doing this other products of
distillation were developed, until step by
step the following ingredients or mattri
ais are extracted from it:
/. An excellent oil to supply light-hou-
Res, equal 10 the best sperm oil, aud ut n
lower cost.
3. BenzOle; light sort of ethereal tiu-
i'd which evaporatcs easily, and combining
with vapOr Of moist air, is used for the
Purpo1e Of portable gas lamps SO called.
8. Naptha; heavy fluid, useful to dis.
solve Gutta Percha, India Rubber, &c.
4. An oil excellent for lubricating pur-
poses.
3. Asphaltum, which il black solid
substance, useful in making varnishes,
covering roofs, and covering over vaults.
6. Parratine. This is q white chrys.
talline substance resembling white wax,
and which can be made into beautiful
wax candles 1t melts at a temperature
Of 40 degrees, and affords an excellent
light
One can hardly realize, when he takes
. lump Of heavy slnutty coal in his hand,
that be holds concentrated therein all
these diffent ingredients ch6ined within,
and which little heat properly applied,
win libeFate and present in their separate
FIRMS, ready for the several purposes to
which they are adapted.

Try it again--try it a hundred times if
You don't succeed before, and all the while

y CAPTAIN SoLp.-A gallant volunteer
officer was badly sold in Baltimore few
days since. lie was searching the houses
of citizens for arms, with squad of MN,
and arriving ut the residence Of an old
gentleman named Hayes, was met in the
hall by his tlaughter--a beautiful black.
eyed girl of lS-who appeared deeply az
itatcd, and implored the Captain not to
search the house. The officer was stern.
ly immovable, resolved to do his duty,
and more bent upon searching from the
apparent diSnay Utthc fair girl. Indeed
-indccd," she exclaimed, "wc have only
three gurs in the house. The Captain
smilrd incredulouS!y. Fetch tLcm to

poor Ellsworth. The young lady hurried
up stairs and returned with an old double.
barrelltd shot gun that no prudent man
would have vcnturcd to load and dis.
charge. The othcrS-thc other two. ="
demanded the officer. "Oh, sir, my
brothers, my poor brothers." sobbcd the
girl, - I cannot take them from them ="
The Captain pushed her on one side.
" Forward, nen!" he shouted, falling in
the rear himself AS the file of soldiers
hastily mounted the stairs, the young ia.
dy chung to the skirts Of the officer, who
was the last 10 ascend, cXclaiming wildly,
-"But, sir, my brothcrs-you would not
harm my brothers," The Captain shook
her oil somewhat ungalantly, and rushed
up after the soldiers, who had by this
time reached the closed door of the cham.
her. After pause the men PUSHED open
the door, and rushed in with fix d Layo.
nets, when two juvenile Zouaves at the
age Of 8 and 10 years, fully armed and
equipped with wooden guns, appeared
drawn up in line before them. At the
same moment the silvery laugh of the
beauty was heard on the stairs.
echoed by couple of chamberinai!s who
were pccping over the bannistcrS from
