CHAMBERLAIN. Charles Haskell was just sixteen. He had finished his course of study at the High School, and being im petuous and active, be longed to be gin his part in the drama otlife. The day came on which be was to leave his childhood's home. His mother's parting advice was earnestly given ; - she said - , " I have prayed for the blessing of Heaven Ivan you —in life, leave such footprints on the sands of time,' as you would wish your dearest friends to follow. Let the Bible be your guide, and in every temptation learn to say no. I have embroidered the - motto as a book mark for you; it is done 'with strands of 'my own hair. Before we meet again,,all that is mortal of me, ex cept these few strands, may bo crum bled into dust. Then let the motto be a reminder of all a mother could counsel a hived son." Young Haskell went to a distant city. His unseen guardian angel went with him, sad the tempter also, and now The contest for Mastery be tween the two began. "Well, Chum, you've come to tha city in just the right time. This is fair week, and we clerks can choose any one day we please to go: There is always the biggest crowd tho day the horses race. Oh, it's glorious excitement the way they bet. And then you'll see more 'blooded stock' in one day than in a life-time of common observation." They decid ed to go together, and Haskell felt secure in the thought that he could not be induced to ,bet—oh, no, not be. ' - " Look, Charley, here they come ; see that arched neck, and how those hoofs keep time to the music." The ring is aeon filled with , spirited met tle, and " hurrah, I bet,-,are Sounds that ` fill the air. " You bet ten dol hula," said the dark tempter. "Bet ird°thing," said the guardian angel. Remember your prayer, 'lead me grinto temptation,' and here you in the midst of it." "Go ahead run your chance to' make your fen a hundred," said the dark spirit. Remember the goad prophet Ezekiel flays : 'Behold, therefore, I haie written my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou bast made," said the guardian angel. Haskell turned to his companion and said : "I'll leave the crowd. I'll not take the first step towards being a gambler." : SCZSE IL lAgain the tempter came. "Have a cigar, Charley, these are royal Ha- Tans& Quite a genteel article." The Cigar lay on the table before him. Bo genteel and smoke," said a dark Voice, ' It's very social when with a friend to while an hour away, and forget the cares of life in the fragrant W , eed.' " Don't b egin ,' said a mild, sweet monitor. It will introduce a long scale of physical evils, and you Cannot afford to discount your time." Thank you,".esid Charley, "I do not wish to learn to smoke. I have do desire to die of any-of the nervous diseases of smokers." 4"Hal ha I Charley You're quite philosopher and Puritan. For my art I'm not tied to my motha's apron string, and as we don't go through this vale of tears but owe, bound to have a good time -as I gold!! g. Good-by, Puritan Charlie." "_ communications corrupt good manna's," said Clarks: "Otte cannot smoke without —the latter is certainly anuidirea Scum iirsdi and the former a bad habit." ME MEI r?"'S - 7? SCUM w. Months _passed and New. Yeses same. The tempter this time was es beautiful as the fabled' Belem. " Here is wine, old and rate; papa only opens it for festive oecuielle hire this Take it as a pledge of good wishes for the cooing year."- 'Said the inner, dark yoke, " Drink, you simpleton; don't afkul the fair est friend you have, just for one swallow." " Touch not, taste not, handle not," said a sweet stall voice, "for at last it biteth like a and stingeth like an adder7V frosty air of the winter's morning seemed to waft from his childheodra home—learn to say no." - - "Thank you, Wm Emma,' I have never yet tasted an that can intoxicate, and I will not begin. But 'I wish you joy, pure, like the crystal of yonder empty glass, and may your life never be shaded by sorrow, deep hued as the wine of this goblet." - With a courteous , bow he left the rich apartment. Three temptations had crossed Haskell's life, and not without a mental conflict had he come off vic • - tor. The step once taken in a right direction, it is more easy to follow it up. To-day Haskell is an honored =XI, and his companion of the horse race and cigars, makes self-indul genee his first eare, and is loved as much in a decreasing ratio as is Has kell in an increasing one. Boys, learn to say no, not from policy but principle. Don't say it, in a sickly, feeble way, and by the tones of your voices give others to under stand " I'll say yes, if you will urge mo a little." Lot it be a round, clear, and distinct lie I as well defined and sparkling as the fall moon. A hea then moralist once said, "it 'is not because things are difficult that we dare not undertake them." Boys of the nineteenth century, what is it then ? Is not self-gratification the principal root of all the evils? Dare to do right, be bold of spirit, but gentle in manner. Say no to trifles of sin as well as to flagrant trans gressions. Let your inner and outer life be at peace, and in the end merit the higher eternal lite. OUR FIRST WAR STRAKER At the beginning of the present century, the navy of the young na tion just rising on this continent Wall possessed of some of the beat vessels in the world. Among them was the famous Constitution, which vessel is still in the service, having been sta tioned at the Naval Academy as a school-ship for the last ten years: About this-date the steam-engine was used to propel vessels by means of paddle-wheels. To whom really belongs the honor of applyiniT steam as a motor for ships . is a disputed point, into the discussion of which it is not desirable to enter—it ill, how ever' pretty well settled that Fulton was the first builder of a steamboat intended for traffic. The success of this vessel was followed by great im provements in that line. and render ed possible the grand system of in ternal commerce for which this coun try is so well adapted. In 1814 the `same Fulton proposed to build a floating battery for the defense . of New York harbor, the vessel to be pro, lied by steam, with a central •• . die - wheel. This is ,the first own proposition to use the new motive power for war purposes. Ilia vessel was to carry twenty guns on her gun-deck, and to make a speed of four miles per hour. In ad dition to her armament on deck, it Was intended that she. should carry two submarine guns on each bow, so as to strike an enemy below the wa- ter-line; besides this, provision was made for throwing a large body . of water upon an enemy at close quar ters. The ship was launched in No vember, 1814, in a little more than four months from the laying of the keel; by June, 1815, her machinery wail lit place, and a trial trip took place in New York Bay, which was a great success. At a later period she made a trip to sea about twenty-six miles. from New Y ork, with all her coal and armament on board, attain ing a speed of nearly six knots. This formidable craft was- named by her ' l projector the Demologos, but after his death she was called the Fulton; she was used as a receiving-ship at the New York navy' yard alter her completion until 1829, when she was accidently blown up by the explosion of the powder in her magazine. Such was the first ;venture of our govern ment toward war steamers.-=From ...Naval Architecture, Past and Pres ent," by Allan T. Brown, in Harper's Magazine for April. WrAILLIG A WATCII.—The watch wis originally, we find, a compara tively huge and 'bungling" thing, and was moved by weights—in short, it was only a "little clock," a "pocket edition" theroof, as it were. Its case was at first made of iron, and on ac count of the weights it had to be borne about in a suspended position, as by a cord about the neck, hanging down on the breast. It was only , a little over three centuries ago, about the year 1555, - that the spring . was devised, doing away with weights, and rendering the instrument more readily and safely portable. These springs were then only straight pieces of steel, not coiled as now, and occu pying more - space. The watch of those days had bat one index or hand, and required to be wound often, two or three times a day. The hoes or 'Alias were of metal, brass 'usually, and the cases were without e but opened in front and at the back, not unlike the "hunting-watch" case of to-day. The case Was from five to six inches in. diameter—a fashion which modern indisposition to 'bear alma large weights" would hardly tolerate. As may be .resdily conjec tared, the watch of those time was a very costly affair, worth more than many a New England farm now is, and requiring along time in its con struction It ut computed that the avenge value of the watches ofthose days was equivalent to fifteen hun dred dollars of our currency.—Ex dtakqe.. —The people of : thaitowoo; Nis., bid s plod ebniMpi titbit oossidedon of their ito dodr, isad vokoup sad asoosift to bid tbai the ft* kid earr/ fa • TOWANDA t BMI)FORD `COIIETtit itanaliaiibaok 1- %lodated irri• MO Bat wham- man IL?

It would have astoniebed any one passing , through that quarter of the 4 where Mr. B.'s essidendswask to behold a single old rude cabin; closely surrounded by the most su perb edifices. And the more so, when he should learn that. the au thorities had RIM orders that that "cabin " should nos be molested so long as the inmates should live. And who were the inmates ? A solitary couple, with color contrasting as much with that of their neighbors as the mean "cabin" did with their stately abodes. These perm= had spent long years in Southern slavery and suffer mg; but a hind Providence had by some means ¥ them to spend their last years in a free city. They were both most eheerful, talkative Christians. Many a neighbor- and citizen delighted to step over to Un cle Tom's and spend any spare mo ments that he might - have, there listening to the genuine negro dia lect, and to the tales of a long and hard bondage. Among - others who thus entered this cabin was Mr. Beecher and his sister. Nor was it a rare thing for them to do so, but . very, frequent indeed. Mr. B. .era braced every opportunity to commu nicate to Uncle Tom words of reli gions information _and comfort, but his sister •only listened. Little did the future author--or authoress, as a very donbthil -refinement would ray —httle dhl•the future author dream that in acquirinkshrre facts and leet, she was isymg the foundation of a work that should . fill the world with her name and her praise. Yet when a brief period had passed, and marriage had come, and extreme poverty too—alas l that one should follow the other—she remembers the cheerful, happy moments she had spent in an abode as humble as hen, listening to cheerful converse from one whe had nothing. Then she thinks of the agitated state of the• country over the vezed question." And desiring to do something to re lieve her financial mislartunesi she seizes the far-reaching idea that, tak ing the Indianapolis Uncle Tom's cabin fora text, she can lay open the whole Southern institution. Seat ing herself by spine table—she could afford no better—she writes and is immortal ! • Whence started this thought-giv ingoaject, and how far has it pro: ? Pamplulias, the .Presbyter of Qesarea, who lived at the close of the thir'd centur;r, collected a 'library in that city .which contained thirty thousand vOluines. This collection seems to have been made chiefly for the use of religious scholars of that day,,as the books were lent out freely to all who were religiously dispa Jerome mentions this library, and Dr. Adam Clark remarks upon it, " that this is the first notice we have of a cireulating library." So that they who establish such libraries now,-are but doing what was done more than fifteen centuries ago. Over the doorway of a very ancient sta tionary library, were these words : "The healing of the soul." The number of public libraries of any considerable note within the bounds of the. United States, is about 180, containing 2,355,237 volumes. The number containing *over twenty thousand volumes is about twenty : of which the Astir library of New York city is the +largest, containing about' one hundred thousand volumes. The largest European library is' the Ins peps! library of Paris, established in 1877, and amtaining, previous to their late war, more than one million volumes, of which over eighty thous and were in manuscript form.

The private houses of its wealthy merchants were adorned with marble and gold. I The graceful court was filled with fountains, rich hangings of silk and velvet covered the lofty walls.

But still more remarkable was the intellectual position of the Eastern CapitoL The renown of Babylon or &mull had been altogether materi al; the children of the desert sur rounded themselves with all the re- , finements of literature and the arts. The wealthy Arabs were educated in poetry, music and language; common .schools were provided, at which the humblest citizen might, learn Ao read and write with accuracy the favorite precepts of the Koran. Colleges, taught by professors of eminent at tainmenta, drew in throngs of stu dents. Libraries, enriched by the spoils of Grecian and Roman thought, awoke a boundless ardor for letters. The Arabic annals abound with no tices of famous scholars, renowned in every land where the. Arabic was spoken, and of poets, historians and men of science, who had charmed the advancing intellect of the children of Arabian sands. TIIAD Sums Wrr.—Mr. Stevens WU rarely excelled in :repartee. He was always ready, and his satire was sharper than bayonets. The people of Lancaster never tire of repeating his Sayings. He tried a case before a judge not celebrated for his wis dom.

Stevens asked what the price of4leacons was in his dis trict, and how mucl more a negro would bring than a deacon. A Lutheran minister left thepnl pit and became a democratic politi cian. He met Mr. Stevens soon after, and, inquiring about his health,.re ceived an answer: "I am very well. I take care of my system, and above all things, keep my conscience pure. I suppose you have heard that I have abandoned politics and am studying for the ministry." A SyBANGE &roar. About five years ago a youth, apparently fifteen or sixteen years of age, called a publishing house. of John E. Potter A: Co, in Philadelphia, and offered a manuscript story for publication. Mr. Potter, the head of the firm, who happened to be in at the tiine,smiled at the idea of one so youthful aspir ing to appear in literature - as the au thor of a book, but finally, at the ur gent request , of theboy, consented to keep the manuscript a few days and look it over. When he had done so he was convinced that the story, while evincing a lack. of polished ed ucation ,on the part of the boyish au thor, possessed considerable merit as an exciting novel, some of the scenes being described with wonderful pow er, and after consulting with the oth er members of the souse; decided to publish it. When the youth called a few days afterward he .told him of his conclusion, and it was agreed that the author should receive a roy a/t7 Of ten cents a Dopy on all sold. The .story was duly published in book form under the title of " White Meeks," and aim that time one hun dred and seventy, thousand copies have been sold.

"Darling I Nobody ' s Darling b4t thine r A - HOUSE MEE MEN HEVER - LAUGH: How do you think you would like to live, fearing every • moment to be blown up; not daring to 'speak load, to jar anything,. for fear of starting an explosion that would send you in an instant to the other world ? Yon don't think it would be. very pleasant? Well, it isn't; yet hun dredi of men live in just that state— work, receive pay, and live, year af ter year, in the very sight of death, as it were; all. that the world may. have gunpowder. Yon can easily guess the those men go about .very quietly, and never laugh. Yon luiow-that gunpowder is very dangerous in a gun or near a fire, but perhaps you don't know that it is equally angerous all through the process of d making. A powder mill is a fearful place to visit, anfrstran gers are very seldom allowed to go into one, They are"bat far from the town, in the woods, and each branch of the work is done in a sep arate building. These houses are quite.a distance from each other, so that if one blows up, it won't blow UP the rest. Then the lower parts of the building are made very strong, while the roofs. are very lightly set on, so that if .it eiplodes only the roof will suffer. But in spite of every care, sometimes a whole settlement of the powder mills go off almost in an instant, and every vestige of the work of years will be swept away in a few seconds, But though°-•you feel like holding your breath to look at it, it is really a very interesting Process to see. It is made, perhaps you know, of cluirecal, saltpeter and brimstone. Each of these articles is prepared in a 'house by itself; but the house" where they are mixed is the first terrible one. In this building •is an immense mill stone, rolling round and round in 'an iron bed. In this bed, and under the stone are put the three fearful ingredients of gunpowder. Their are there thoroughly mixed and ground together. This is a very dangerous operation, because if the stone comes in contact with its iron bed, it is very apt to strike fire, and the merest suspicion of a spark would set off the whole. The materials. are ; spread three or four inches thick 'in the bed; the wheel, which goes by 'Water, is start ed, and every man leaves the place. The door is shut, and the machinery left to do its terrible work alone. When it has run long enough, the mill is stopped, and the men come back. The operation leaves the pow der in lamps or cakes. ° _ 'The next house is where these cakes are broken into grains, and, of course, is quite as dangerous -as the last one. But the men can't go away from this: they are obliged to attend to it every moment; and you may be sure no larighoor joke- is ever heard within its walls. Every one who goes in has to take off his boots,. and put on rtibbers, because one gram of the dangerous powder, crashed by I `the boot," would explode the whole in an instant. The floor of this house is covered - With leather, and is made perfectly black by the dust of the gunpowder. It contains a set of sieves each one smaller than the last, through which the powderis sifted; and an inmense ground and laboring , mill, where it is ground up, while men shovel it with wooden shovels. The machine ry makes a great deal of noise,. but the men are silent,. as in the other houses. The reckless crashing of the machinery oven seems to give greater horror, atm one is very glad to get out of that house. • • The glazing house , comes next. Glazing is done by mixing black lead with the powder, to give it a black and shiny look. -The powder is put into barrels, which revolve for sever- ul hours. That polishes the grains by their rubbing together. Of course the dust flies from all these opera tions, and the workmen, silent, like the rest, look like very black negroes, working in the blackest of powder, in a room 'whose walls and floors are blear than the rest, if possible. It has a very singular look to a stran ger, and added to the, horrible. si lence, makes one feel that the whole world has gone into mourning. .of tea, the gunpowder revolting so rap idly in the barrels, gets very hot; so this, too, is a - dangerous operation.. The storing house is the nest on the list, and there the gunpowder is heated on wooden tray& It is very hot and no workmen. stay there. From there it goes to the pack house, and is put up jn bure kegs and canisters. - - Rafflithrsragh Al time Ulm* it - C . +;;; S-;41. ;,11 )`. _ *• MESE . . --illdivelt.-Annmim in.
