Of q good nstured wife, that makes
home 80 attractive az pictures, music
and other adornments Of beauty. Yet
there should be no sudden contrasts
Don't have q picture of some value
hanging on your wall and smoky,
grimy mantlepiece opposite it or have
handsome mantle with rusted and
dirty fire tongs, shovel and poker lying,
one in this corner and one in that, for
these contrasts are shocking to ones
ideas OF beauty and neatness. All
things should be in harmony.
B. Fisher has opened a wareroom at
bis foundry. on Market street, corner Of
South, where he has an assortment of
the most elegant Nantes and Crates,
Coal Vases, Fire Sets, and the like
The Nantes are some of them WON
drously beautiful, finished IN gold and
French plate glass. This stock con-
sists Of the largest and most superb
Nantes made, aud can be furnished at
from $22 to SITS complete, with CRATE,
fender, summer front, &c. They are
made OF marbleized iron and slate and
are perfect limitations of rare marbles.
We would most especially urge our
lady readers to call at Fishers ware-
rooms and examine these beautiful
productions. The wareroom itself is
one of the handsomest in Wheeling, if
not in the West. 1t is seventy i've feet
long by twenty-four wide and shows the
goods displayed to the best advantage
But it is not only in Mantelpieces
that Fisher excels. He has here on
exhibition fifty different styles Of wood
and coal Heating and Cooking Stoves.
Chief among the latter are the Acorn
and improved Olive Branch. The
Acorn is known all over this and adj
joining States and is popular wherever
used. 1t is arranged with all the modern
conveniences and is made extra heavy,
80 that it will wear lifetime. No one
has ever used the Acorn hut has found
it perfect stove. The Olive Branch is
wood stove, and has no superior OF its
class. 1t is rated by stove manufac-
tnrers as a No. ! stove, and it well
maintains its reputation. Fishers
stoves are made OF the best material
and the best manner, and do all that is
claimed for them, whether as cooking
or heating. stoves. Mr.. Fisher, after
the destruction of the foundry of D.
Lynn & Co. by fire, purchased all the
patterns Of that firm and can furnish
pieces for either the Constitution, West
Virginia, or any other stove OF the
Lynn make. The Heating Stoves fur
nished by Fisher have no superiors any
where. The Wheeling Franklin stove
is built with a knowledge Of the require.
ments Of our coal, and cannot but give
satisfaction as heater. There are
many other kinds and styles, and
personal inspection is necessary to de-
termine their peculiarities and under
stand their different qualities and per-
fections.
But let us talk again OF the beautiful
as well az the practical. Do you desire
Bronzed or Ornamental Cast Iron work,
such az Chairs, Settees, Umbrella
Stands, Flower Stands. Hat Racks, Fire
Sets, Coal Vases and Coal Scuttles ?
Look at the beautiful designs and pat
terms here around you. Can anything
more beautiful than that Vase, yonder'
or this Umbrella Stand, be conceived ?
Would they not adorn any residence ?
The aid of the artist has been called
in to design these beautiful things, and
talented and educated labor has given
the idea OF the artist permanent and
enduring shape.
Among the novelties here to be found
are the new style of Foot Scrsper. These
clean of the mud and almost black
ones boots; Epicure Boilers by means
of which meats, game, fo~ls, &c, can
be broiled over any kind Of fire; the
famous Griddle Cake Baker, whereby
buckwheat cakes can be cooked as fast
as small army OF persons can eat
them. This, we take it, is one Of the
greatest inventions OF the age. We
have used one in our family for two
years, and know whereof we speak when
we say that no bousekeeper is properly
provided without one Of them. Another
valuable invention Is the Slate Hearth,
which combines both beauty and safety
in high degree.
We have thus briefly glanced at the
articles on exhibition in the wareroom,
and cannot in the brief limits OF a
newspaper article do justice even to
these. The capacity of the foundry
the superiority OF the work turned out
and description of the many articles
manufactured must be left for another
time. Let it sufice that everything
one can want of cast iron, either.of
beauty or utility can be procured at B.
Fishers Star Foundry. where, in add
ton to the specialtes mentioned, gen.
