It was as fol lows: You must not go into debt. Avoid debt as you would the devil. Make it a fundamental rule: No debt cash or nothing. Make few promises. Religiously observe tne smallest promise. A man who means to keep his promises can not afford to make many. Be scrupulously careful in all state ments. Aim at accuracy and perfect frankness, no guesswork either noth ing or absolute truth. When working for others sink your self out of sight; seek their interest Make yourself necessary to those who employ you by industry, fidelity and scrupulous integrity. Selfishness is fatal. jtoia yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Keep your own standard high. Never excuse yourself to your self. Never pity yourself, lie a hard master to yourself, be lenient to every body else. Concentrate your forces on your own business: do not turn off. Be constant, steadfast, preserving. How Nebraska Regiments Charge- j It was during the campaigh along the Railway that the duty of charging the enemy fell on Nebraska. They occupied the extreme right of the line, and as the enemy invarably moved off, before our advance, from our front to our right, Nebraska had haul fighting everv day, even when the rcstot Gen eral McArthur's division found little rcsistence. It came to such a pass that the mere appearance of Colonel Stotsenburg was the signal for a charge. When Colonel Stotsenburg crossed the field towards his men they rose from that ditch with a shout. For hours they had lain under the scorch ing sun, exposed more or less t the enemy's fire, without answering. Many wounded had already been taken ' back. There came their Colonel. He would lead them to victory, as he had always done. Nebraska with a j wild cheer started forward. They had j gone some distance before uenerai Hale realized what they were doing. Why," he exclaimed, "they a e not coming back; they are going forward, stop them! Stop them. "I ll try," said Mai. Mulford, "but when they once get started they are hard to stop." When the Maj. reached tke Ne braska line, however, it was so near the insurgent trenches that he realized the folly of bringing it back over that open field, and instead of delivering General Hale s order he joined in the charge. Colonel btotsenburg had to run to get up with his regiment. When he reached them the hrst enthusiasm of the charge had worn off. He shook them into form, and the little com panies now went ahead by rushes alternate companies kneeling to fire while the others rau forward. lhe irgents made an effort to stop them. Every Mauser from the trench es emptied its contents across the open field. As the American line ad vanced the Ltah guns had to stop firing. With good marksmen in those trenches, the position could not have been taken by infantry on a direct charge. Gradually the firing from the tienches grew less and less, showing that the insurgents were retreating, and at last the first American crossed the trenches. It was another victory for Nebraska, but dearly paid for. When the losses for the day were counted, it was found that seven were killed and forty four wounded. Near ly all of this loss was from the troop of the Fourth Cavalry and the Neb raska regiment. Greatest loss of all, Colonel Stotsenburg was shot tnrough the heart two hundred yards from the insurgent earth-works. John F. Bass, in Harper's Weekly. FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS.

Boiled animal fat gave the required tallow, nnd the snino green ruches as were used for crnisie wick supplied it also in this case. In making rushlights all the green coating of these rushes was stripped off. but for candle wick a thin strip was left on either side of the pith to strengthen and support it. Otherwise the manufacture of these two lights was very similar. Th substance from the rushes when dritu was tied to a rod. then dipped into tho tailing fat and allowed to cool, nnd this process was repeated until the rushlight, or caudle, had become the desired thick ness. In later years candles were inndo In molds. The tape was passed through a hole in tho center of the mold nnd knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat wns then poured in and nllowed to :ool. These molds, during the days of the candle tax, were jealously guurded by tho owners and hidden in tho most lecret corners from the prying eyea of the exciseman. Tho cundles were usual ly made at night in some outhouse, and watchers wore posted at convenient ;ornera to give timely warning of any approach of tho ubiquitous officer. Good Words. GOTHAM'S INFAMOUS CAFES GInuee at the Interior of a Xolo. rloaa One That Was Hnlded by the I'ollee. Through one of the most infamous of the cafes n Leslie's Weekly writer went recently, just nfter the police had raided it with axes. The entire ground floor was a drinking bell of tawdry ele gance. On the second lloor was a gam bling room reached by devious pas sages through heavily barred gates. The upper floors were loding-rooms, of almost unimaginable dinginess and squalor. Throughout the entire estab lishment was a series of signal fcelU, peep holes, fulling bars and special locks, and ready exit was given by no less than four specially constructed nnd supposnbly secret passages. The rickety old tenement hnd been mado into a veritable labyrinth of pseudo- mysterioua precautions against the po lice. When the police did come tho warning wus given by a man stationed in the street for that purpose called appropriately enough a "lighthouse" the signal bells clanged, the bars fell, the special locks slid into place, eyes blinked at the peep holes and at the last moment the aroused Inmates scurried through the secret pnssnges into the arms of the oflleers who were waiting for them there. Thnt enfe went out of existence, but others ure still doing a cautious business. A (iood Parrot Story. A maiden lady of a certain town in Cornwall owned 11 parrot, which some how acquired the disagreeable habit of observing at frequent intervals, "I wish the old lady would die." This an noyed tho bird's owner, who spoko to her curate ubout.it. "I think we can rectify tho matter," replied the good man. "I alto have a parrot, and ha is a righteous bird, hav ing been brought up in tho way he should go. I will lend yon my parrot, and I trust his influence will reform that depraved bird of yours." The curate's parrot was placed in the same room with the wicked one, and as soon as tho two had become accustomed to each other the bad bird remarked, "I wish the old lady would die," where upon tho clergyman's bird rolled up his eyes and in solemn nccents added, "We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord!" The story got out in the parish, and for several Sundays it was necessary to omit tho litany at tho church services. Household Words. EELS IN CAPTIVITY.

Tho swim mer, tired with his exercise, was anx ious to return to his garments, but tho lady on shoro was far too engrossed with tho fortunes of Princess Sheilu to heed the coughing intimations of bis presence. Presently matters came to h crisis. A sportsman passed along the rocks and discerned Mr. Black's dark head bobbing above the waves.
