CHILLED AND WROUGHTIRON Safes
Wrought Iron Fire-Proofsa


These Fire proofs are manufactured to supply
demand for Security Against Fire, less expensive
than my Celebrated and Superior Chilled and
Wrought Iron Burglar and FIre-Proof Safes.
They furnish similar and equal security to the
Safes generally manufactured in the different cit
les, but are Superior to them In their Fire-Prooi
qualities and durability, the Iron being eectually
protected from rust in any climate, and the Fire
Proof not subject to lose It's utility by age. This
is an important advantage gained to the purchaser
q safes often rust out and become worthless In
, two three years.
To substantlate my position, those purchasing
these Fire. Proofs at liberty, by giving me d ue
notice OF time and place Of trial, lest them by
fire with any other Safe of the same size and
should they not prove superior, will refund the
money, or d new Fire-P Proof, as the purchaser
may decide.

BRIpGEF's AFFEcTIONs.-Some of our read
ers may have feeling appreciation of the
truth of the following, from Halls Journal
Of Health:
Some of the places where cooks and cham
bermaids board while they are getting places
are not fit for the habitation of horned cat
tie a good farmer would not keep his horse
or his COW in such rickety, unventilated and
blackened apartments, situated as they gen.
orally are, in the distant, filthiest, and most
noisome streets and alleys in the whole me-
tropolis. And vet, when these same persons
are introduced into a respectable dwelling
they assume the airs of duchesses and queens.
They can't use brown sugar in their coffee,
because it gives the headache. They won't
touch any other bread than that which is cut
fresh from the loaf at the time they are
wanting it; while the slices left at the family
table of to-day, if not thrown into the ash
barrel, or given to some begging cousin or
acquaintance, are placed on the family table
for the next meal. None but the costliest tea
will "agree" with their delicate stOmachs,
and this is made so strong, that in order to
be able to drink it, they saturate it with loaf
sugar. Unless they are closely watched on
washing days, their own clothing first passes
passes through the laundry; is first hung out
to dry, and that tOoin the sunniest places IN
the yard; while in the starching process of
skirts etc, their own are made as stiff as
pasteboard, and in every respect have the
preference. Such impertinences as these the
less resolute of our wives have to endure,
and in consequence, are kept in a state OF lr-
ritation, and fretfulness, and anxiety, which
wastes the strength, ruffles the temper, sours
the disposition, and makes housekeeping a
penance instead of happiness.
