O. LiGHTs.-Eeonomy is a virtue at all times,
Especially at times like these aod whenever
it happens that, in adopting new thing We
can both save money aud increase our COM
fort, there is double reason for trying IL I
am led 10 this remark Ia view of the introduc-
ton Of the Rosin Oil Lamp, sold by s. Jew
ct, Of 81. Johnsbury. Experience in their
use proves them TO be convenient as table
lamps, and with an expenditure of less than
one-half cent per hour much light is OBJ
tanned as is afforded by to s candles. For
reading and sewing nothing equals them
aud having used them wish 10 recommend
them to such as have not tried them. G.
