ECONOMY IN FCEL.--Very much of the
fuel consumed in our stoves is lost. fit
is not dry, all the water it contains must
be converted into steam, aud this requires
a large amount Of heat Cauld this steam
be conducted to some reservoir, where the
heat was wanted, and there condensed, the
heat would be saved, but in ordinary cases
it passes with all its heat to the chimney.
Tie only exception is when the stove pine

by fire, when sun and wind are afforded
free, is like using sunlight to sleep by,
and gas and oil to work by
Another orror consists in admitting
more air within the stove than IS necessary
to promote the combustion of the fuel
and also admitting it where it does not
aid the combustion. The object Of tho
air is to afford oxygen to unite with the
carbon of the wood. In this chemical
union, forming carbonic acid heat is pro.
duced or given cut.
Now all the air admitted to the stove
which does not pass through the fire so as
to be decomposed and yield a portion at
least of its oxygen, becomes only an alb.

their wood fine, put but little in the stove

to make it burn rapidly, SO that little

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Cobbler's Temptatio

The Cobbler's Temptation.
Jareb Crop sat in his little shop upon
his low bench, and he pegged and tapped
away merrily upon his well worn knees.
He was a jolly fellow. Jareb. Poor, tis
true, but just poor enough to be free of
care. He owned the rooted box in which
he worked, and so he owned the little
thatched cot adjoining it. In the cot he
lived with his wife and seven children, and
in the shop he worked cheerfully all the
day long. He was not afraid of robbers,
for he had nothing worth carrying off; and
he feared no man. for he never did man
wrong.
A merry fellow was Jareb Gropp. He
sang as he pegged, and his joyous notes
lacked only musical sound to make them
attractive. He was built after the same
pattern as we're his cot and shop. He was
short and dumpy, with a round, shiny,
and good natured face, and with bald
pate, though he was five and forty years
old.
"Troll-de-rol de lol.lardo I" sang Jar
eb.
"Fol-de-rol de riddle.de.rol.rinctom p"
sounded a voice from the inner door.
Jareb looked up and saw his wife.

The Dying Wife to her Husband,

IOr tue heRiSter.
The Dying Wife to her Husban
Fold me still nearer, dear one
Nearer to your heart;
Keep close your arms around me now,
As we so soon must part.
For lam dying now, darling
My life is going fast.
One quickly feeting hour, darling
Is all my breath can last
Then place your hand upon my brow
And look into mine eyes,
hat may read your secret soul
E'ermy heart lowly lies.
With my head upon your bosom,
And your breath upon my cheek
May feel once more, darling,
The love words cannot speak.
1t seems so sad and strange, darling
That your fond wife must die,
With the bloom of youth upon her cheek
And its sparkle in her eye.
To think that no,O, when Life seems new
And earth so fair and sweet,
That death should come for me, darling
And leave your heart to weep.
My spirit bleeds for you, dear one
Since you'll be all alone;
For none will ever love so true,
As your poor wife has done
Oh, you'll so often sit and think
OF love and days gone by,
Then will your heart cry out for me,
Not knowing am nigh.
My spirit meier can leave you, darling
Till you come unto me;
I'll keep loving watch Ger you,
Wherever you may be.
And If, at eve, all tired and sad,
You'll bow your head in prayer,
Then will speed my way to earth
To carry comfort there.
And then you'll raise your soul, and feel
So calm and pure within;
You'll think an Angel as you prayed,
Had famed you with Ills wing.
But twill be my spirit, darling, come,
And tchiperins unto thine;
And the peace and JOY 1t bring, to thee,
VIII prove Ito love divine.
Now foreiDeU, darling kiss me
Der and DER again
And lay your hand upon my heart
To take away its pkin;
And tell me that you'll lore me STILL
Fen tho in death lie,--
While you are whispering thus to me,
shall so sweetly die.
