ICCM3AING STOVES.—consstmption of
1 - Smoke aed Cu.*, awl Satiny of Fuel.—
The subscriber wouLl respectfully inform the
public that he has added tc his former tarie
t7 of stoves, a new Patented Gar-lintimg
LOOK ISO STOVE.
It is well known that all inflammable mat
ter requires a certain amount of air to sup
port combustion, and if the supply is insuf
fieiciat, it is impossible to produce a flame.—
The heat of the fire, in ordinary cooking
stoves, decomposes the fuel, and as all the
freshitir is admitted under the grate, its
oxygen is exhausted before it has passed
through the fire-chamber. The close flues at
the top of the stove, then act as an extin
guisher, tendin: to pot out the fire, instead
of assisting the combustion. A large portion
of the fuel, therefore, passes off in the shape
of smoke, <dogging up the flues of the stove
Nu as to impede the draft acd interfere with
the baking,—or is which com
bines with the-Ugly) so-fleitroys the mor
tar of the chimaeys.lebseningthebricks, and
exposing the divelings to the danger of fire.
The introduction of an additional supply
of cold air, would cool the gas below the
igniting temperature, but by the proper ap
plication above the fire, ot air pretiuusly
heated to a temperature of several hundred
degrees (which is oue of the prominent fea
tures et the patent), the )101,_4C6 are inflamed
in numerous jets, and their combustion is
sufficient to heat the oven, even if the draft
through the fire„-chamber is entirely closed.
In addition to the''ordinary direct draft
ender the grate and through the flre-cham
lser, the gas-burner has an additional draft
through the top plates, which is of itselfbuf
ticient tv maintsin combustion. The upper
draft not only consumes the gases, but it
helps to strengthen and preserve the centre
pigeon, which are most exposed to the direct
action of the fire, and which are made double
instead of the usual single plates. By means
of this draft alone, all the operations of cook
ing can be carried on when the fuel is but
bartially ignited; and the 'fuel consequently
urns more slowly and more ellknomically.
A e i i icnt evidence of the effect of the
gases in heatin the oven, is found in the fact
that the oven will be ready fur baking, even
before the fire is thoroughly kindled, and
usual sooner than in any uther stove.
As o.w-burning Stoves are the order of the
day, the Gaz.burnirtg ClJoltin ,, a Stove *ill
not only be the leading stove of the present
season, but it will undoubtedly supersede all
others. Purchasers will, therefore, consult
their own interest, by seeing and examining
it before giving auysorders elsewhere. The
operation is so perfect, and its advantages'
are so etsily to be seen and understood, that
it readily commands, at retail, a t advance of
five or six dollars over the retail price of any
store of the same size.

NAPOLDOWIS OLD GUARD.
Napoleon's "Otd Guard" gained, by
their many desperate instances of brav
ery, un immortality in history ; but
their •rand crowning was their despe
rate charge at Waterloo, which has tew
parallels in aneient or modern warfare.
They fought for their .adored Emperor,
and to retrieve the evil fortunes of the
day, and they felt as though To do so
would secure them immortal glory and
eternal bl:ss in the world of spirita.—
The most graphic and stiriing account
of that last fearful and fatUl struggle,
that we have seen, is from a recently
puhiished French work. If reads like
war itself—this i,
" During the day the artillery of the
Guard, - under Drouet, maintained its
old renown, and the Guard itselfhad
frequently been used to restore the Lit
tle in various parts t f tlwlrld, and al
ways with success. The English were/
fast becomiegeithaustest, said in an hour
more would doubtless have been forced
into a disastrous defeat, but, for the
timely orrice! of Bluehsr. But when
they saw him, with his B*,olXlPrusekians
approaching, their courage revived,
while Napoleon was tilled with amaze
ment. A beaten enemy alma, to form
a junction with the allies, while
Grouchy, who- had .been soot to keep
them in check; was nowhere to be seen !
Alai! What great plans a single ineffici
ent commander can overthrow.
" In a moment Napoleon saw that he
could not sustain the attack of so many
fresh troops if once allowed to form a
junction with the allied forces, and ho
determined to stake his fate on one bold
cyst, and endeavor to pierce the allied
eentre with a grand charge of.the,Old
Guard, and thus throw himself between
the two armies. For this purpose the
Imperial Guard was called up and divi
ded into two immense columns, which,
were to meet rin the British centre.—
Those under Raffle no sooner entered
the fire than it disappeared like mist.—
The other was placed - ender Noy, 'the
bravest of the bravo,' and the order to
advance given. Napoleon accompanied
them part of the way down thershipe,
and halting for a few minutes in s hol
low, addressed them a few words. Ito
told them the battle rested with them,
and that ho relied on their valor, -tried
in &weeny fields. 'live l'Emperear I'

which hip watched the advance of that
column, and the terrible response lie
endured when the smoke of the battle
wrapped it from sight, and the utter
despair of his great heart when the cur
tain lifted over a fugitive army, and
the despairing shriek rung out, The
Guard recoils!' I The Guard recoils!'
makes us for a moment forget all the
carnage in sympathy with his distress.
"Thee Old Guard felt the pressure of
the immense responsibility, and resolv

trust committed to it . Nothing could
be More imposing than its movement to
the assault. It had never recoiled be
fore a human foo, and the allied forces
behold with awe its firm and steady:id
ea:fee to the final charge. For a mo
ment the batteries stopped playing and
the firing ceased along the British lines,
as, without the beating of a drum or a
bugle-note to cheer their steady cone
age, they moved in dead silence over
tie field. Their tread was like mused
under, while the dazzling helmets of
the curiassiers flashed long stream* of
light behind the dark and terrible mass
that swept in one strong wave along.—
Theiteru 1)rouot ma* there amid his
gun!, and on every brow was written
the unalturuWe resolution to cunt iuor

opened, and the head of.that gulkint
column seemed to sink into the earth.
Ralik after rank went. down„yet they
neither stopped nor faltered. Dissolv.

structive tire affected not their Wendy

comrade, pressed unflinchingly on.'
" The horse which Ney rode fen un

another before it alsusank to the earth,
and so another and another, tilt five in
succession had been shot under biro.--
Then, with his drawn sabre, ho march
ed sternly at the head of his column.—
In vain did the artillery hurl its storm
of iron into that living mass. Up to
the very muzzle they pressed, and driv
ing the artillery men from their pieces,
eshod on through the English lines.
p
Ilia just as the victory seemed won, a
filo of„soldiers, who lied laid fiat on the
ground, behind a low ridge of earth,
suddenly rose and poured a volley into
their very face. Another and another
followed, till one broad sheet of flame
rolled on their bosoms, and in such a
fierce and unexpected flow that they
staggered ',dere it. Before the Gnaid
laud time toraily again and advance, a
heavy column of Pliantly fell on its left
flank in close and deadly volleys, caus
ing it, in its unsettled Asto r to swerve
to the right. At that instant 'a whole
brigade of cavalry thundered on the
right dock, and penetrated where caval
ry had never gone before.
"That intrepid Guard could ,have
borne up against the unexpected fire
from soldiers they al not see, and
would have rolled back the infantry
that boldly charged its left flank, but
the cavalry finished the disorder! into
which they bad been momentarily
brown, and broke the shaken ranks
before they had time to-reform, and tlio
I eagles of that hitherto invincible guard
were pushed backward down the Slope.
It was then the Army, seised with de

The Guard recoils !' and turned and fled
,in wild d smay. To see the Guard in
confusion was if sight they had never
before beheld, and it froze every heart
with terrer. Still those veterans re

with such rapid footsteps that they soon

number that pressed their retiring
footsteps. • . .

The Bottom of the Atlantic.
It has been now Eatis fa ctori ly ascer
tained, by Lieutenant Maury, that the
basin of . the Atlantic ocean is a lung
trough separating the Old World front
the New, and extending probably from
polo to pole. From the top of Chimbo
razo to the bottoin of the ocean, at the
dLepest place reaced by the pl u mmet in
the Northern Atlantic, the distance in
a vertical line is nine miles. The deep
est part of the north Atlantic is proba
bly somewhere
,between the Bermudas
and Grand Bank*. The waters of the
Gulf of Mexico are held in a Basin about
a mile deep in the deepest part. There
is at the bottom of the sea between
Cape Raw and liowtouridland and
Cape Clear in Ireland, a remarkable
steppe, which is already known as the
"telegraphic plateau." The great circle
distautx; betwo n these two shore lines
is sixteen hundred miles and the sea

A Merited Coipliment
Col. Alfred W. Johnson, of 31e., in a
'peel,' &short time since, paid the pres
ent .administration the 'following de
served compliment;
"I cannot close without saying that
I hays entire txmfidence in the ability,
integrity in . (' patriotism of the present
national ezenutive. I know the admin
istration of Jumni Buchanan has been
bitterly assailed by many at the north
and by the extremists at the south. I
know that our altra men here say that
the 'administration has accomplished
nothin so far for the good of the na
tion. }}-- I point them with pride to tile
sappelesi.ion 'of filibustering at the oa

Nog la I Hog Out!
A good one is told of a worthy deacon
in the City of 9., in Northern Ohio.—
The deacon was the owner and overseer
of a large porkpacking establishment.
His duty was to stand at the bead of
the scalding trough, watch in hand, to
"tube" the length of the scald, crying
"Hog in I" when the just slaughtered
hog was to be thrown in the through,
and "Hog out I" when the watch told
three minutes. One week the press of
business compelled the packers to unus
ually hard labor, and Saturday night
found the deacon completely exhrtsted.
Indeed, ho was almost sick the next
morning when church time came; but
ho was a loading member, and it, was
his duty to *tend the usual Sabbath
service, if he could. lie went. The oc
casidb was one of unusual solemnity, as
a revival was in progress. The lauds
ter preached a sermon well calculated
for effect. Ilia peroration was a climax
of great beauty. Assuming the attitude
of one intently listening he recited to
the breathless auditory:
"Hark t thy whisper •,, Angels say—"
"Rog out !" clime from the deacon's
pew, in a stentorian voice. The astokt
tshod audience turned their attention
from the ;wencher. Ile went on, how
ever, unmoved—
"Sister spirit, come away!"
"Rog .out ."f shouted .the deacon—r
"tally four."
This was too much for the preacher
and audience. The latter smiled, some
P a ick ervd audibly, while a few boys
broke fur the door to " split their sides"
laughing, outside, within•full hearing.
Thu preacher was die:smeorted entirely
40 wn,aroso again—pronounced
a brief benediction, and dismissed the
anything else than solemn-minded
hearers. The deacon soon came to a
realizing sense of his unconse.ioua inter
lude, for his brethren roprimandod him
severely.; while the boo caught the
infection of the joke, and every possible
occasion afforded an opportunity for
them to say, "Hog fa!"—" /fog out!"
