brighter the mark the more poisonous
the shaft aimed at the public or private
character of the victim. In the near
past we know of no officer of the Gov
ernment who has been the object of ma
licious assault by tongue and pen than
Hon. z. Chandler, late Secretary of the
Interior.
Week after week the Washington
Capitol had made Mr.. Chandler the
theme for its satire and false accusation.
In the last issue, however, it gives evi-
dence of remorse by admitting the effus-
ion of favored contributor who tells its
readers that the ex-Secretary ''has al
ways been a man of conviction" that
his official record will mot be blackened
in history by the stain of baseness"-
that ''the epithet of Thief has never
been applied to him by his most reckless
foe"-that sno one is more ready to
award praise for his honesty as an official
than the gentleman of this journal" ("
We might extend these extracts, but the
foregoing will suffice to show that, in
Mr.. Chandler's case, even his enemies
have been made, by compunction of con-
science, to praise him.
THE MAMMOTH PUBLIC DOCUMENT.
There is public document now being
prepared IN the War Department, for
publication, which for mammoth size and
interesting contents will, when complet-
ed, dwarf all prior issues from the Gov
ernmental printing press of the country.
We allude to the official records of the
War of the rebellion, embracing all the
important records connected with the
operations of the Union Army, and such
of the Confederate Army as are now in
our possession or can be secured. Prep
arations for this publication have been
going ON for some time. How far it will
preserve to fame or damn to infamy the
names of many who figured in the fierce
strife on either side it is difficult to con-
lecture; but there is to be perfect impair
tiality in the selection of the material
for the work. The Document will ex-
tend to one hundred volumes of five
hundred pages each, making fifty thous-
and pages of printed matter. The very
contemplation of the magnitude of these
archives is sufficient to make old book
worms scratch their heads and pray for
an extension of their several leases of
life. BETA.

KEEP Your AGREEMENTs.-One rea-
son why many people do not get along.
in the world is because they cannot be
depended upon. They do not keep their
agreements. When they are weighed
in the balance of actual affairs they are
too often found wanting. They are sell
dom on time. The workman who is al
ways on hand at the appointed time and
place, and does his work according to
agreement, is sure to get along. To
young mechanic starting in life, the hab-
it of promptness and punctuality is
worth more than thousand dollars cash
capital-although thousand dollars is
not to be despised. The trustworthiness
of the faithful workman produces money
but the untrustworthiness of the un-
faithful one causes him to lose money.
This is an everlasting principle. He who
would be permanently prosperous must
keep his engagements.

A LESSON TO BOYS.

l think that boys and young men do
not fully realize the dangers of the posi-
tion in which they place themselves by
yielding to the voice of temptation, that
bids them to partake of the deadly poi
son, alcohol. Could they fully under
stand that their folly was creating an
appetite that would lead them to ruin
or harness them for life, they would turn
quickly away from the tempter. But
they are always blinded to the power Of
their enemy. and rest upon the false be-
lief that they will never fall where 9TH
ers have done.
A few days since l chanced to hear a
reformed drunkard tell little portion
of his life-history, which is terrible
warning to boys that are not yet slaves
to the burning appetite for strong drink.
He had been drunkard for forty years
and had sunk very low in the dark pit
of intemperance. These wasted years
had been full of misery, and the poor,
wretched man often wished to die. But
temperance society was formed in his
neigh borhood, and some of its members
sought to save him. A few kind words
made him try to save himself, and he
became member of the Lodge Six
years have passed away since then, and
he has kept his pledge sacred. He is a
member of three different temperance So
cieties, and he is also faithful worker
IN the church of God. He is an earnest
temperance worker and an active Chris
tian, and had supposed that no earth
ly power could ever cause him to stum-
BILE into the pitfall of intemperance again.
But l was very much surprised to
hear him say that he was as weak as a
child even yet, and that it required all
of his mortal strength and eternal
watchfulness" to keep from falling into
his old ways. for" said he. my appe-
tite is just as strong to might for alcohol
as 1t 'oaS SIC gears ago. l should have
fallen long ago." he continued, "unless
had trusted in God, to overcome.
These temperance societies have helped
me a great deal, but had l trusted in
them alone should have fallen. l need
all the help | can obtain, both from man
and God, for this terrible appetite would
prove my ruin was ! left to myself. |
would give all l possess in the world to
be free from it. Yet l expect il will
haunt me to my grave"
Poor man how l pity him in his
bondage. He will suffer as long as life
lasts. and God grant that he may have
grace to keep from falling. Had he
never tasted the deadly poison he would
have been, no doubt, a happy, usefu
man in the world. But he has much K
be thankful for even now, for he is un.
doubtedly saved from drunkard' s grav,
by the kindness of God, who lifted hin
from the ditch through human hands
Boys, never, never meddle with tn
deadly poison. for it will, in some way
cast shadow over your life.

HOW TO EXPLODE A LAMP.

The Scientific american gives some
of the circumstances which lead to the
explosion of kerosene lamps, the philos-
ophy of all of them being that the fame
may pass down the wick and ignite the
vapor which accumulates in the upper
portion of the lamp. This ignition of
the vapor may be brought about as fol-
lows:
l. A lamp may be standing on ta-
BILE or mantel, and slight puff of air
from the open WINDOW Of uOJr may causv
an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from table or mantel and instantly ex-
plode1.
8. A lamp is taken out into the entry
where there is draught, or out-of-doors,
and an explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up fight
of stairs, or is raised quickly to place it
on the mantel, resulting in an explosion.
In these cases the mischief is done by
the air movement-either by suddenly
checking the draught OF forcing air
down the chimney against the fame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to ex-
tinguish the light is frequent cause of
explosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been caused
by using a chimney broken off at the
top, or one that has piece broken out,
whereby the draught is variable and the
flame unsteady.
Z. Sometimes thoughtless person.
puts small wick into large burner,
thus leaving considerable space along
the edges of the wick. An old burner,
with its air draught clogged up, which
rightfully should be thrown away, is
sometimes continued in use, and the fin
al result is an explosion.
