The commission which has been Investigating
the facts connected with the surrender of IIar
per's Ferry, charge that disaster to the in
apaclty of Col. Miles, to Gen. Wool's error
in leaving such an officer in command of the
stand 20 Gen. McClellan's Hardness in
marching to the relief Of the garrison. The
report Of the commission closes as follows
The evidence thus introduced confirms the
commission in the opinion that IIarpcr's Ferry.
as well as Maryland Hghts, was prematulely
surrendered, The garrison should have Teen
satisfied that relief, however long delayed,
wonld have come at last, and that thousand
men killed in Harper Ferry would have made
a small loss had the post been saved, and prob
ably saved two thousand at Antletam. How
important was this defense We can now apprec-
ate.
OF the ninety-seven thousand men composing
at that time the whole of Lees army, more than
one third were attacking Harpers Ferry, and
OF this, the main body was in Virginia by
reference to the evidence, 1t will be seen that
the very moment Colonel Ford abandoned Mary
land Heights, his little army was in reality re-
lieved by Gen franklin and Summers corps at
Champion Gap, within seven miles of his DO
sition, and that after the surrender Of Harpers
Ferry no time was given 20 parole prisoners be.
fore twenty thousand troops were hurried from
Virginia, and the entire force went off on the
double quick to relieve Lee, who was being at
tackled at Antletam. Had the garrison been
slower to surrender, or the army of the Potomac
swltter to march, the enemy would have been
iorcei to raise the siege, or would have been
taken in detail, with the Potomac dividing his
forces

What Women Have Done.

Women have done wonders in bringing
down mighty men, and bringing up mise.
rable men. Samson was a strong man,
and Solomon was a wise man, but women
were too much for them, Jezebel was q
hard case, and did much mischief. She
was regular beelzebub of feminine gen.
der. She was a regular razor bnck, cut
in-the-eye she wolf Esther was good
woman and belonged to prosecuted and
prescribed race. Haman was 4 proud,
arrogant and cOnceitel man, and plotted
great deeds of wickedness, but Esther
Outwitted hin, and he was elevated at the
end Of rope. Time and space forbid US
cnumerating cases we have all seen the
workings Of good and bad women. The
bad kind, We were never fond of, the good
ones we love with all our soul. We have
known men abandoned by society MS con-
tirmed drunkards who were restored to
virtue, health and happiness by the pow
er of woman's love. We have known
young men who were making rapid ad-
Vances in the whirl of dissipation, saved
by the magical power of woman's love-
Who has not heard Of the reformation of
William Writ, a noble Virginian, Attorney
General under John Quincy Adams and
James Monroe Writ was a child of
genius, polished gentleman, an eloquent
lawyer. Like too many of the gifted
ones, he became tiPpler, drunkard, n
sot He loved beautiful woman and
proposed marriage. She was wise and
good, one Of the right sort, and plainly
told Writ he must either renounce her or
renounce the bottle. A battle then began
in Wirt's breast. A depraved appetite
began the fight with q. heaven born prin.
ciple. Hope now dropped and now re-
vived in the breasts Of both. The woman
loved him as only n pure minded woman
can love. Writ struggled and fell, again
tried and again fell One day he lay at
full-length, besotted and dead.drunk, on
the sidewalk. His lady-love came along
like an angel attendant and was shocked
at the sight. She brushed away the flies
from his bistered face, and covering his
features with her handkerchief, passed on
her sad way. She was indeed Lady
Dashaway!" She was truer than steel I!
BY and by, poor Writ awoke, Saw
her name on the handkerchief, and
then and there vowed that he would drink
no more. God helped and blessed him,
out Of weakness he was made strong, out
Of misery he was raised to honor, fame
and happiness, and in due time they were
married, and Writ afterwards became
Attorney General of the United States of
America. This shows what good women
can do. They can, and do, work mira
Giles. with the Divine blessing going with
them. Who can hear of w0man'S hero
ism and devotedness, and goodness, with
out loving and reverencing her character.
May God bless them all forever and ever.

The "SMvER RULE. You all know
the golden rule" Do unto other as you
would have them do unto you" Here is
n rule that is almost part of the golden
rule, but which we will put by Itself and
because Of its value, call it the "Siver
Rule" Think and say all you can Of
the good qualities of others; forget and
keep silent concerning their bad qualities. 4"
You can conceive how much such course
will heighten your own happiness, and
raise yOu in the esteem of your friends.
Did you ever think any more of boy or
girl, my young friends, because he or she
found fault with others? Never call your
schoolmates or playmates ugly or cross,
neither before their faces nor behind their
backs. If they ure ugly, or stingy, or
cross, it does not make them better to
talk and think about it, while it makes
you love to dwell upon the thoughts of
others, and causes your own soul to grow
smaller, and you become like the foul
bird that prefers carrion for food. Rather
tell all the good you can and try to think
of more.
