ITN COOKING STOVES.—Ceitsumption of
....L._ -Setollx and Gar, and Suring of Fud .
MN oiArcriber would respectfully inform the
!public that he has added tc his former retie-
Ity of Staves, a new Pultated Gas-burning
'C'OOKING STOVE.
A is well known that all inflammable mat
ter requires a certain amount of air to sup
port combustion, and if the supply is inset:
lie:tient, if is impossible to produce a flame.—
.The heat of the fire, in ordinary cooking
latosea, deoomposes the fuel, and as all the
'fresh air is admitted under the grate, its
llikegen is' exhiustial before it has passed
'through the fire-chamber. The close &meat
4he; top of the stove, then stet as an satin
aptisher, iendin7 to put oat the fire, instead
ufassisting the combustion. A large portion
of the fuel, therefore, passes off in the shape
4f i ara4e, clogging up the flues of the store
''seas to impede the draft and interfere with
thNsiltltt ,--or of invisible gas which cove
itineaswi the lime and en destroys the MOT
is
taw of ale snoop, loosening the bricks, and
teitositkg the dwellings to the danger of fire.
.1 . Th e Introduction of an additional supply
of cold air, would cool the gas below the
igniting temperature, but by the proper ap
iipliestiou above too fire, of air previously
-bey* oi to a temperature of several hundred
,?Istgrees (which as one of the prominent lea
totes of' the patent), the gases are inflamed
in' itimerous jets, and their combustion is
salifseiatt, to hez,t tits wen, even if the draft
through the fire-chansberie entirely closed.
. In addition to the ordinary direct draft
under the grate and through the flre-chista
.hpry the gatshurner has an additional draft
tb,rougb the top plates, which is of itself sof-
Vara to maintain combustion. The upper
;Rift net only consumes the gases, but it
'Yelps to strengthen and preserve the centre
idettes, which are most exposed to the direct
notion of the fire, and which are made double
davtaad of the usual single plates. By means
ef this draft alone, all the operations of cook
lig can be carried on when the fuel is but
gpartially ignited, and the fuel consequently
rim more slowly and more economically,
'A sufficient evidence of the effect of the
Wanes in heating the oven, is found in the fact
oat the oven will he ready for baking, even
before the fire is thoroughly kindled, and
much sooner than in any other stove.
. As Gllb-hurning Stoves are the order of the
,Slay, the Gas-burning Cooking Stove will
not only be the leading store of the present
- reason, but it will undoubtedly supersede all
'ethers. Purchasers will, therefore, consult
iheir own interest, by seeing and examining
ihiefore giving, any orders elsewhere. The
operation is so perfect, and its advantages
.aye so easily to be seen and understood, that
it readily commands, at retail, a I advance of
flee or six dollars over the retail price of any
'stove of the same site.

It is said that Dr. Samuel Johnson on
one occasion had gathered around him
that select circle of literary friends who
often met to hear the recitations of
each 'other's productions of genius, or
to listen to such results of literary dis
covery as any one might find among
the unknown relics stored away in the
careerx of great libraries or among re
stored fragments of ancient learning
which were now and then brought, to
light. At this interview, the celebrat

or what they might call a Bucolic or a
Georgic, if they could call it a name,
and locate its authorship and charac
tors. After reading from some manu
scripts or scattered leaves the entire
book of Ruth, his literary associates
were enraptured with admiration.—
They inquired where such an original
and matchless production had originat
ed; how it came to be known; and
they declared that in all their classical
readings they had never seen it, nor
the like of it, and that such a relic of
literature was now destined to immor
tality. The reader at length told them
that this literary gem could be found in
their printed bibles, far back among
the unread roeerds of the Jewish
judges and kings; and that in neglect
ing the ancient chronicles for heathen
classics and for modern literature, they
bad overlooked the fountain of the pur
est learning.
It is one of the peculiar excellencies
of these ancient Scripture narratives,
that their portraits of eharaCter are
true to the life and are at once recog
nized by the lovers of what is genuine
in nature, eveu in the remotest times
and °gantries. Full three thousand
years have passed since the events and
persons of this narrative formed a part
of the then acting age ; and yet so fresh
are these strokes of nature, that art
ists have vied with each other, in bring

instructive and entertaining topics.

were urged and combated by the ex
cited disputants. Those in favor of the
latter proposition were evidently in the
majority, and the President made no
attempt to congeal that kis sympathies
were with the dominant party. At
length an intelligent darkey arose from
the minority side, and 10amd leave to
state ,a proposition to this effect :
''Spore,' said he, 'dat you set ono dozen

It, was in the midst of this seeming
chaos that Mr. Buchanan drew up his
last message. Ire treated the difficul
ties of the country - with a master's hand;
and though he had all along to deal with
an adverse Congreas,in which ambitions
Presidential aspirants and partisan
leaders bad already produced disaffec
tion, he so conducted the policy of the
Government, with mingled prudence
and energy, that ho can now appeal to
a record of success that ii unequalled in
our political history. The will-o'-the
wisp of Kansas has been consigned to a
deserved insignificance. The Utah
question hak been settled, and the
strength of' the Union demonstrated
without bloodshed. The Indian tribes
have been, in a great measure, brought
to reason. A safe route across the con
tinent has been establlshod, with a mail
running over it. The *llibuster fever
has been greatly allayed. And the
confidence of the country in our indus
trial and financial future has been re
vived by the maintenance of the credit
of the Government and the prudent
conduct of its pecuniary affairs.
" In our foreign relations equal tri
umphs have been obtained by the Ad
ministration. A threatened collision
with England was avoided by a course
of firmness and energy on the. part of
tho Government, and the right of search
question put at rest, so far as it can be
put at rest by the action of our govern
ment alone. We have participated in
all the advantage to be obtained iu the
opening of China to trade. A wise poli
cy of action has been adopted toward
the Spanish America► Governments,
which has been set forth in General
Cass' dispatch to General Lamar in
Nicaragua, and will be practically car
ried out by the Paraguay expedition.—
The rights of the world to a tree transit
of the American Isthmus have been
vindicated, the Tehuantepec: route
opened, that of Nicaragua placed in
good train, and the Panama route made
secure. Our relations with New Grans,-
da are iv a fair way of being placed
upon an amicable and permanent basis,
which, as she is a leading power among
the Spanish American republics, will
have a good effect upon all. Venezala

What makes It the lllin onerous and
