y N COOKING STOVES.— Consumption of
Smote and Gas, awl Suring of "ad.,:
The subscribe would respectfully infortuthe
public *Sr* has added to his fernier varie
ty of Stovers, a new Pulepled (ins-lotruino
COOKING STOVE.
/t la Well known that all inflammable wee
der, requires- a certain .amount of air Id sup
port combustion, and if the supply is Insuf-
Cheat, it-is impossible to produce a flame—
/Ile heat et the fire, in ordinary cooking
stoves, deooteposes the fuel, and As all the
fidsri lir is admitted under. the &rade, its
oxygen - is rellausted before it has passed
though the.fire-chamter. The close flues at
the top of the stove, then sit as an extin
guisher, tendin; to put oat eise fire, instead
yr/twisting:the combustion. A large portion
of the fuel, therefore, passes off in the shape
of smoke, clogging up the flues of the stove
sous to impede the draft and injerfiere with
she baking,-,ror of invisible gas which com
bines with the lime sad so destroys the tuor
tareofehe chimneys, loosening thehricks.ami
exposing the dwellings to the danger of itra,
The introduction of an additional supply
,of cold Elil,..would cool the gas below the
iediting temperature, but by the preprresp
plication alaive en's fire, of air pnevionsdy
heated to a temperature of se‘cral hundred
degrees ( which is one (4' the prominent ke
tones of theputent), the. gases are inflamed
in numerousjets, and tiseir combustion in
sufficient to hest the oven, even if the draft
tltiopgh the t4' . -elia.mber is entirely closed.
In tdditioe to the ordinary direct draft
under the grate and through the fire-eham
bet', the gas-burner has an additional draft
through the top plates, which is of itself SUE
'Went to maintein exeab,otiosi, . The upper
draft not only consumes the gases, but it
helps to strengthen and preserve the centre
pieces, which are most exposed to the direct
action of the fire, and which are made double
instead ofThe usual single plates. By means
of this draft alone,. all the operations ufectok
ing con be carried on when the fuel is but
partially ignited, and-the fuel consequently
kains more slowly and more economically.
A sufficient evldeneekif the effect of the
gases in heating the oven, is found in the fact
that the oven will be ready fur baking, even
before the fire is thoroughly kindled, and
;nuelleooneethan in any other stove.
As Gae-burning Stoves are the order of the
day, the Gas-burning Cooking Stove will
not-only be' the leading stove of the present
season, but it will undoubtedly sueereede all
others. - Purchasers will, therefore, consult
their owe interest, by seeing and examining
it before glying - any orders elsewhere. The
opetatioa is so perfect, and its advantages
sire so evilly blipte seen and understood, that
it readily coaxial:lds, at retail, a i advance of
five sr stxdrillars over the retail price of any
atoveof eke same size.

Strewed acorns on th•Apai
And one took root and spouted up,
And grew into a tree.

To breathe its early vows;
And age was pleased in heat of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs ;
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore;
It stood a glory at its place—
A blessing evermore I
A little spritig had lost Its way
Amid the grass and fern ;
.1 passing stranger scooped a well
Where weary man might turn ;
He wall'd It in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink,—
He thought not of the deed be did,
' But thought that all might drink;
He passed again—and lo I the well,
By summers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues,
And saved a life beside I '
A dreamer dropped a random thought,
'Tway old, and yet 'twas new—
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong Ih being true;
It shone upon a genial mind,

A lamp of light—a beacon ray—

A watch-fire on the !.ill—

And cheers the valley still.

BUB'S NEW PANTS.
"0, it snows . it snows—how glad I
am r shouted Mlle Harry-Lee, in a
gleesome tone, as, emerging from the
warm blankets, beneath which, for
twelve hours, he had been enjoying
that calm sweet sleep which the frame
knoweth only in its springtime, be be
held the pare white drift Idled on the
window-silt. Very fleetly did his little
barn feet, tarry lain across the room and
mount him int* 6 chair. and sweeter
grew the smile that dimpled his cherry
red lips, and brighter the light that
gleamed in his dear blue eye, as ho
marked the snow-takes - rit'll feting
thick and fast, and saw how high they
piled against the fences, and bow lov
ingly they had encircled each twig and
bough with a wreath of beauty.
"Get up, quick, Nelly and Sallie,
quick, quick ! Wiater's come buck !-
0, lain glad, I arm glad," and hurriedly
dressing himself, ho ran down stairs,
and bounded into the kitchen with the
same gleesome shout with which he had
greeted the storm, "It snows, it snows!"
"flint you glad, mother?" asked ho,
saizing.her dress, to she was about, en
tering the buttery, "ain't you glad ?
father will take his dinner, you know,
and then . "--but hero his little throat
was no full of fan and joy that there
was not a hit of room for another word
to pass, and laughing all over his face
and away down to the ends of his toes,
ho ran out to measure the drifts, and
lay out, a railroad with the points of his
little boots.
When breakfast was over, and-father
had taken his dinner as he alwiys did
when tho day was stormy, nicely pack
ed up in a basket, and covered by ono
of the whitest of tuipkius, and gone to
his dny's work, and mother had washed
the dishos, and swept, and made the
beds, and Bono the hundred and ono lit
tle things that crowd into a house
keeper's morning duties, and finally
sat down in her low rocker to rest, a
few minutes e littlelLerry stole softly to
her side, and pressing a very sweet kiss
upon her chock, whispered, "I ant so
glad it snows, cos, you know, mother,
what, you promised, don't you ?" and
ho bent his eyes eagerly upon her.
" I don't remember, Harry ; what did
Ipromise?"
- Tho exultant smile half faded from
the beautiful face, but then beamed
again, as ho said earnestly., "why don't
you remember, mother, you said the
very next time it snowed you would
make me thorn new.pair of pants Uncle
Charley gave me. You?:now you said
so once before, and then/you didn't, cos
you wanted a new cap, and took that
day to make it ; but you said then, the
rery next time it snowed you would
make my pants; and I do want them
so bad, mother, cos, don't you see, these
are all so patc hed up, you can't hardly
tell what they ever was made of; and
to-morrow, when all the boys aro
coasting, I want to go too, with my
new sled; and I don't want to, either,
with these old - pants, cos, you see,
they'll call me 'Patch-upon-patch-patch
patch,' and that always makes me feet
like doubling up my fists, and when I
feel so I don't feel a bit-good- You will
make them to-day, say yes, that's a
good mother, wont you?" •
" If I promised you Harry, 'certain
sure,' as you say,. why, I'll do them,
though I was going to do something
else to-day. - I need a new dress about
as badly as you need new pants, and I
was glad wheal saw the snow because
I thought I should have a good time to
Anima that one Aunt Lizzie sent me,
and which has lain now eut and basted,

mothor . .Anieker than the wet eyes and
Suppressed sobs of her children ; when
mastering his emotion with what was
to him a mightrettort, Harry said, half
sadly, half cheerily, •'well, mother, I
won't be stingy; I'll give up again, but
you did promise ;" and he walked off
quickly, lost sho should see the groat
flooa 'of tears that rolled down his
cheeks.
Left alone, the mother sat for some
sime irresolute. Tim ease stood thus.
She was the wife of a worthy man, but
of one whose pecuniary means did not
allow her to employ Mach help, and
loving fear.children, all too young to
be of much ass' istance, she found it
pretty difficult to perform all her duties
as housekeeper and • seamstress to a
family of six. Stornit : days wore ) a
blessing to her, because then, her hus
band, being of rather a delicate consti-
Minn, always carried his dinner, and n
cold lunch sufficing for herself and chil
dren, she had pronriscd Hurry she
would make his •new pints the next
snowy day, and she certainly meant at
the time to fulfil leer promise, both be
cause of the joy it would give the boy,
and because he reidly stood in need of
them. lint last evening Squire Mason's
wife had called and invited her to a
party which was to come elf the follow
ing Thursilay, and the very little bitof
pride shC had left made her desire to
appeacat the time in her newem.—
Welk not'all pride either, sh Wrgued
to herself,' meld* sit titere-aleao la the

Awhile sat Mrs. Lee with her pretty

her hand.; but it was only a little.—
With a sweeter look upon her face than
it had worn for many a day, she rolled
up the bundle, and laying it, carefully
away, unfolded another, and the 'Otto
too that contained her boy's longed-for
pants, and was soon stitching away at
them, as though she were working for
wages.
About two hours after, little Harry
came back, his feet and hands stiff with
the cold play ho had been engaged in,
bat his . cheeks rosy with leaping pulses.

Ibrforgot that he was tired ancilthnoat
