Atthe age of eighteen he could not.read; be could, not write his name. His thther had been too poor to afford any school ing to .the children*; He was then getting his uiend Coe to teach bim-tho mystery of brake- Ing,' that he might, when opportunity occur red,- advance to the post -of brakesman— -next above that-which he h01d,,-He became curious also to know definitely something about the fgmous engines; that.were' in those days plan ned by Watt and Bolton. • The desire for know ledge taught him the necessity of learning to roadbooks.. ■ r- The brave young man-resolved,, therefore, to learn his letters and mako pot-hooks at a nigtit-school among a few colliers’ sons, who paid threepence a week 6ach to a poor teacher At the age Of .nineteen he could write hia name,’ A night-school was set up by; a Scotchman within a. fewminutes' walk Of; Jolly’sClose; and to this, George Stephen son removed. himself.

This addition to bis daily twelve honra’. labof at. the colliery, made some littlo addition " to' his weekly earnings. It enabled ■him bis . first giilnea, and encouraged him to think ;fhl).more, of,marrying Fanny Henderson, a 1 pretty servant in.a neighboring farm-house'; WeeMempered, sensible, and good. -He onco had shoes of hers to mend, and- as he carried them to her olio Sunday evening with a friend ho could not help pulling tbem-ont of. his pocket, every now and then, to admire them because they wore hors, and to bid his . companion observe what a capital job he bad made'df them. . ' - George Stephenson still eqjoyed exercise ip feats of agility and strength j still Bpent a part ofeack idle afternoon on the pay-Satiirday in taking his engine to pieces; cleaning It and pondering over the uses and values of its parts. He ,was a model workman in tho eyes of his employers; never .missing a day’s wages through - idleness or indiscretion; Bpending /nonii of his evenings in public-houses, avoid ing, the dog-fights, and cock-lights, and man tights in which pitmen delighted. Once, in deed,’being insulted by Ned Nolfcon, the bully of.the .pit, young Stephenson disdained to quail before: him; though ho was a groat lighter, aOd a mon with whom it was considcred dan gerbhg "to quarrel, , Nelson, challenged him to a pitched battle, and.,, the - challenge was ac cepted. Everybody arid Stephenson would bo killed. The.young men and boys came round him with awe, to aak whether it was true that he was “ goin’ to felght NelsoU.” “Ayo,” ho said, “never fear - for -me,'l’ll-felght him.” Nelson left off yrork to go into training. Stephenson worked on as usual; wont from a ; day’s labor to tln/iieid of battle, and on tlio appointed evening, and, with bis strong lUuaclo and hard.bone, put down tho bully, as he never for a moment doubted that he would.- %As a brakesman, George Stephenson had been removed .to Willihgton Ballast-Quay, when atthpage pf twenty-one lie signed his, namo in. lhe.regiater of Newbitfn Church'as the - hus band of-Fanny-Henderson; and, seating her behind hiin on a pillion upon a stout farm-horse bdrroiVed fhim her sister’s master, with the .sister as bridesmaid and a ! friend as. bridesmah, ho went flret to his father and ’ mother—who were growing' old; and-struggling against pov erty in. Jolly’s Close-f-and. hUvitig paid his duty, as a son to them,, jolted -across country, and through the streets of Newcastle; upon a rido bomoward of fifteen miles. An upper room In a small cottage at Wellington Quay was the home to which George took hia bride. Thirteen .months, afterwards, his only son, Bobert, was,born .Oiere. Tho oxerciso of his mechanical ski!), prompted sometimes by bold speculations of his own, amused tho young hasband—and the wife doubtioss-rof an eve ning. Ho was at work on tho problem of Perpetual Motion. He had acquired reputa tion as a shoemaker; Accident gave rise to a yet ’ moro ' profitable exercise of ingenuity. Alarm of a chimney on Are caused his room to be,one day. Bonded'With soot and water by good-natured friends. Ills most valuable piece of furniture, the clohk, was seriously injured. He could not afford to send it to a clock-ma- ker.qnd resolved totry his owif hand on the workß;’ took tlieruto pieces, studied them, ' and so put them together as to cute his clock in'a way , marvellous to nil the village. He was aoonasked to cure a neighbor's clock, and gradually made his title good to great fame as acloek-curer throughout tlie'dlstrict. ' After having lived three years as brakesman at Willington Quay, George Stephenson remo ved toKillingworth, where he was made brakes man at the West Moor Colliery. From the high ground of Killingworth, the spires of Newcastle, seven miles dlstantj are visible weather and smoke permitting. At Killing worth,- yben they had been but two or three years" married," George,' Stephenson’s wife, Fanny, died. Soon,after -her death, leaving his little iboy.in .charge, of a neighbor,'he marched on 'foot Into" Scotland; for he, had been invited by . the owners of a colliery hear Montrose to superintend the working of one of Bolton and Watt’s engines. • For this work he received rather high wages; and, after a year's absence, ho marched back again, on foot, to Killingworth/with twenty-eight pounds in his pocket. During his absence a bad accident had happened tq his father. The. steam-blast had been inadvertently, let in upon hint when ho was inside an engine.’ ’ It struck him in the face, and blinded'him l’or the remainder of his Tif^i* .George; comipg* home from' Scotland, paid the Old man’s debts, removed , bis parents to a comfortable cottage near his own place of ’work at Kllllftgworth—for ho was again taken ’op as brakesman" at the West Moor Pit—and worked for them during the.remainder,of their lives./ At this time there was distress andriot among the laborers; George was drawn lor •the mUitia, and spent tho remainder of his, sa vings on the payment of a substitute. Ho!was so much disabled in fortune’ that ho thought of emigrating to America, as ono.of his ..sisters was then doing in company With her husband, but—happlly for his own country—he could not raiseonough money to take him out of it. To a'friend be Afterwards Said of his sor- row at this time, “ You know tho road from tuy house at the West MoOr Killingworth. I remember;'when I'went along that road, I wept bitterly, for I' knew , not where my lot would becast.”. It was a slight advance in independence, al though ho advance in fortune, when Stephen son at the,'age of twenty-seven joined two other brakesmen in taking a small contract un der the lesßeesfor breaking the engines at tho West Moor pit; /The profits did ’nqt always bring him in h.pound a-wcek. His liitio son, Robert, was growing up, and ho was bent (irm ly on giving him what ho himself had lacked— the utmost attainable benefit of education in his boyhood. Therefore, Qeorga spent his nights in mending clocks and watches for ids neighbors, mended and mado shoes, cut out lasts, oven cut out the pitman’s clothes for their wives to make up, and worked at their, em broidery., Ho turned every spare minute to account, and so wrung from a stubborn fortune power to give the first rudiments of education to his son,; 7f;r 1 , ■ ■ ir, .

These Furnaobs are constructed with a cast Iron ash pit, and a broad, shallow pan-shaped fire pot, lined with fire-brick or iron staves. The fire po‘. is surmount ed with A BKUIE3 OF CONG 3, or TAPERING RADIATORS, large and broad at their base, but tapering to small aper tures at the top, and uniting with toe anular chamber, through which tho heat and smoke pass to the tine. Tub whole products of combustion in the form of smoke and oases, are suspended directly over the fire, confined or compressed into tho tapering Conks and continually rxposbd to the direct action of the rays of heat and light from tho fire. This heat and light is brought to a foods In gaoh Cone, not unlike tho COLLECTION OP TUB BUN’S RAYS, to a focal polut through an ordinary leus, causing the smoke and OASES to becorno intensely heated nud tho roughly Oonsumbd, by this operation the smoek and qABSs are made equally available with the forl itself for heating purposes, while, in other furnaces, It i*CARRIED off and wasted in the chimney. All persons desirous of obtaining tho best and MOST KCONOMIOAL HEATING APPARATUS, should not fail to examine the New Gab Ooxsumisq Cone Furnace, before purchasing any other.

The Northern portlou W. chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves, aud in the middle and Southern sections timber predominates, alternatluk with beautiful prairies and openings. The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any other port of the couutry—tho air is pure aud bra cing, while living streams and springs of excellent water abound.
