dry steam, among others steam drums, but

An editorial in The Locomotire Of July. 1856. q
monthly devoted almost entirely TO steam boil
ers, which is published by the Hartford Steam
Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company,
makes the following statement:
Steam drums are nuisance. pure and sim.

they are used Why steam should be generated,
c0nducte outside Of the boilers, and stored in

nish cooling surface for the condensation OF the
steam. passes our comprehension. Steam, the
instant It passes out of the boiler, away from the
influence of the furnace heat. begins to part
with Its heat No matter how well the sur.
faces Of The containing pipes or drums may be
protected. there will always be some loss, which
is continuous and irevocable from the time it
leaves the boiler. This radiation of heat means
condensation of steam: therefore IL is evident
that the steam should be retained In the boiler

Do away as far as possible with storage domes

the boiler the reservoir OF heat; the steam sup
ply win be much steadier, and its quality will
be better in this than it win be II the con-
version into steam has taken place and an at
tempt has been made to bottle it up outside the
boiler"
D-Again, we can appeal TO the practice of
manufacturers of boilers and steam users 10 6nd
an answer 70 our questions. In doing this, I
can say that, until coming to Seattle, have no
recollection Of having seen bat one battery of
boilers TO which q steam drum was attached, so
rare 10 their use throughout the country gen.
orally. But better indication of the general
practice OF manufacturers and steam users in
regard TO the use OF the drum. and the size of

out by h0ller-makers and dealers have exam

which could lay my hands. and have failed to

the following table N which have entered the
diameter of the boiler, and the diameter and
height of domes of every maker without distinc-
ton. whose catalogue gives those dimensions OF
which have been able to get hold. In each
case have taken the same size boilers as those
in question, viz: 81 inches in diameter or If

sions, both home and foreign? Is II
not strange that while the average
servant of strong drink, living in
poverty, can spend 800 per annum.
upon his idol, the average protesting
Christian spends but fifty cents per
annum in helping to evangelize the
world for which his Lord and Mas
ter died? 1t has been said, not with
out a touch of sarcasm, "Any one
VINO did not know better might nat
urally infer that the one class loved
beer and whiskey better than the
other loved SOULS"
All, reader, what is that in thine
hand?
II. Again, let us learn and ever
remember that, When things appar-
emily insignificant are yielded to
God and accepted by him, they be-
come instruments of great power
and the man who learns to use the
most trifiing possessions according to
Gods purpose and in conjugation
with Gods power, can overthrow
every foe. He can exert an infiu-
ence which the world cannot resist.
1t was only a rod, but when it be-
came in Moses hand "the rod of
GOd," it brought blessing to friend
and terror to foe. 1t was the instru-
ment of torture to Egypt and of des-
truction to Pharaoh's host the in
strument of assurance to Moses, and
of salvation to Israel. What is that
in thine hand? Remember, that is
your rod. That alone can become
the "rod of God" in your hand. 1t
is not necessary that it should be
some great possession in order that it
may be acceptable to God and SER
viceable in his work. In Gods
economy a penny multiplied by a
prayer may yield a larger product
than pound without that prayer.
Certainly the dimes of poor Chris
tians are just as acceptable to God as
are the dollars of the rich.
o brother ! What is that in thine
hand? Is it of trifing Importance
some very little thing? Then let it
become in your hand "The rod of
God" 1t is little word or a trihing
service? Then let it speed some i'm
mortal soul heavenward. Is it a lit
tie Offering? Then let it be conse-
Grated to the Kings service and let
it help sustain the grandest enter
prise in which man was ever called
to engage. 4

1t is matter of history that some
of the finest poetry ever written has
had narrow escape from the "limbO
of things lost on earth" One of the
greatest poets that ever lived came
within an ace of being the "aMe, in
glorious Milton," for his almost di-
vine epic found little favor with the
booksellers of his day, and was final
ly sold for about the sum which
tirst>class poet Of the present day
would expect for poem of forty or
fifty lines. In that day, as in oufs,
every leading publishing house "kept
a critic" on whose fiat the fate of an
authors manuscript depended; and
then, as now, the "readers" of such
establishments sometimes made ter
rible mistakes.
1t is our deliberate opinion that
had the Paradise Lost" been SUBJ
mitted to certain regularly employed
critics of the present time, instead of
to the Grub street gentlemen of the
seventeenth century, it would have
been pronounced as of yore, "dull
and tedious production" Byron, as
we all know, was mercilessly snub-
bed by the literary Jupiter of the Ed
inburgh Review; and the Rev.
Charles Wolfe's exquisite "Ode on
the Burial of Sir John Moore" was
so scornfully rejected by a leading
periodical of the time that the author
in sending it to provincial newspa>
per, timidly withheld his name, lest
he should be cauterized by the press.
But the public, better critic than
any cynic in "foolscap uniform turn
ed up with ink" Unexpectedly
ranked him for immortality.
There is an enormous amount of
humbug in modern criticism-quite
as much as in the criticism of days
gone by. The fact is, that the ability
to decide intelligently whether a
work will succeed or fail, is not an
art but gift, and very few possess it.
Mere book-men know very little
about the tastes of the community.
If you want an "opinion as is an
opinion" on what you have written,
go TO man who understands human
nature, and though he may never
have seen the inside of a college, he
will be apt to tell you truly how the
world will receive your offering.

nesses with their spirits that they
are the children of God, and fills
their hearts with joy and gladness.
Christians are exposed to constant
temptations from the flesh, the
world, and the Devil; but rhe Holy
Spirit strengthens them with might
in the inner man to over come temp
tation, and enables them to persevere
unto the end.
1t is the will of God that Christians
be sanctitied and increase in holiness,
without which no one shall see the
Lord and as the Holy Spirit regen-
crates believers through the incor-
ruptible seed of the Word, so, too,
does he sanctify them through the
truth, and thus comfort their hearts.
"In the world" said Christ to his
disciples, rye shall have tribulation."
"Many are the Affections of the
righteous" who must, through much
tribulatiOn, enter into the kingdom
of God. The holy Spirit enables
them to bear their trials with resig-
nation, and even to rejoice that they
are deemed worthy to suffer for
Christ's sake, knowing that all
things work together for good to
them that love God. Through the
Holy Spirit, Christians shave access
to the Father" and are encouraged
to come "boldly unto the throne Of
grace, that they may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time OF
need" And although they know
not what to pray for as they ought
the Spirit helpeth their infirmities
and enables them to pray according
to the will of God, and obtain com.
fort through the answers they receive
to their prayers, and the assurance
that God is more willing to give the
Holy Spirit to them that ask him
than earthly parents are to give Their
children bread. "Not by might, mol
by power, but by my Spirit, saith
the Lord"

Jesus chose his twelve disciples to
accompany him in the prosecution of
his Messianic mission. They had
witnessed his wonderful works,
heard his infallible instructions, and
became partakers of his sufferings.
But amid all their trials they found
comfort from his presence and his
words of consolation. But the time
at last came when he must leave
them, in view of which he delivered
his farewell address, in which he
told them that they would be cast
out of the synagogue and he put to
death, and that he would now leave
the world and Beturn to the Father
who had sent him. Looking for
ward to the suffering that awaited
them, and the departure of their
Lord, their hearts were filed, with
sorrow. But amidst these gloomy
fOrebodings, Jesus said unto them,
ut is expedient for you that go
away, for if go not away the Com
forter will not come'unto you but if
| depart | will send him unto you.n
This promise was fulfilled by the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pen.
tecost.
The Holy Spirit is distinguished
as the Comforter of believers. They
are all subject to wants and evils,
temptations and trials, and need
comfort. The Holy Spirit, who
searches their hearts and knows their
sorrows, is able and willing to adj
minister such consolation as each
Christian may need during his earth.

Christ has been, but could no lon.
ger continue to be, the Comforter of
his disciples in this world, but the
Holy Spirit was sent to take his
place, and while Christ's mission as
Redeemer ended with his ascension.
that of the Holy Spirit as Comforter
will abide with the Church for ever.
The Scriptures are designed to give
comfort, but the Holy Ghost alone
can so enlighten the eyes of believ-
ers that they may apprehend the
truths they contain that are comfort
ing, and so to move their hearts that
they may believe and enjoy them.
The Holy Spirit is the author of
both faith and hope, and gives the
assurance of his work in the hearts of
believers. They know that they
have passed from death unto life, be-
cause he has given them his Spirit.
He changes their hearts, strengthens
their graces, enables them to exam
