vESPER GAS LIGHT, AGAIN-The su- periority of the above light. in point of brlliancy and cheapness, over Kerosene, Fluid Gas Burners, any othr light be easily seen by teating the lights together. -
 do not hesitate to pronounce the VESPER LIGHT the strongest light at the same expense of burning, of any now in use. Camphene. from which the light is obtained, contains 90 per cent of car bon, Kerosene Oil contains 55 per cent of carbon, and Burning Fluid about 40 per cent.
 Try the VEsPER. It certainly gives almost double the amount ot light, at the same expense, of Kero- sene, Whale Oil, or Burning Fluid in any form.
