I have in use in my kitchen one of Hathaway’s

mend it as a very superior article. The one 1 have
is No. 3, it has 5 boilers and an oven sufficiently
largo to hake fi loaves of bread. The baking, roast
ing and boiling, can bo done at Ihe same time and
widi much less wood than required for any slovo
I have ever used.. This size appears to be pecu
liarly calculated for Farmers, and for their benefit

shall lake pleasure in showing the stovo to llinso

Messrs. E. Robinson & Co.
Gentlemen:-—I have fairly tested llic “Hot Air
Stoves” which you put up at my house anil can
recommend it as possessing principles of economy
and convenience tar surpassing any oilier stoves,
which I have .ever seen. Tlio boilers coming in
immediate contact with the fire gives it great fa
cilities fur boiling, and the oven is heated on such
a principle.that bread is baked in as fine a maimer
as in a brick oven. I find it also a great savingof
fuel and labor, and would advise all to adopt it.

Messrs. E. Robinson & Co,
Gentlemen.—l liavc during the few days t have
had your Hathaway Hot Air Stovo in use become
convinced of its groat superiority over all other
stoves I have or seen—l find by the trial that
baking and. broilmg may.all be
dome at saihe time, in a most perfect manner
and with less than one fourth the fuel I have or
dinarily .used for the same purposes. I have here
tofore been of the opinion bread could'not be well
baked ima Cook Stovq, but I am convinced upon
trial that it can bo done as well in your stove ns in
a brick oven.' 1 believe that the general introduc
tion of your stoves into use will be very beneficial
to the public, therefore I shall take pleasure in re

Thus struggle on, from year to year,

That led me up to woman’s day.
Go, kneel as I have knelt.
Implore, beseech, and pray—
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course, to stay—
Be cast, where bitter ciirso, aside,
Tuy prayers burlesqued, Jhy tears defied.
Go,' stand where I have stood,
' ■ And" sec the strong man bow ■
' Willi gnashing teeth, lips' bathed in blood,
And cold and livid brow;-

And its rcyealings there
Have fold him what ho might have been.

ucating young ladies., Only hear him:
“This bringing .up daughters to think of nothing

is not discharging the duties of a mother who wishes
the welfare of her children/ Send them into the kitch-
cn. Teach them to wash, and to cook, and to scoun
It won’t hurt them, it will do them good, both mental
ly and physically. . Such duties need not interfere *
with'their lessons inthe polite accomplishments of
fashionable life, but will make thera moro active, radre
healthy, more* blooming more beautiful than ever, a.-
part from Uic Intrinsic value of their -qualifications as
liead of a family in after life.” '
