OFFICE OF

TNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet OF heating surface built upon
new principle, namely that Of stopping the vertcal
cucal1tion, accomplished by means of two horizon
tai dtaphragmS running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
ransement there is maintained three Temperatures
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
In the third compartment. By this operation. the
smoke and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, or chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water. Va
While doing average work, coupled with a good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew so
per ceat. more power with the same weight of coal
than amy boiler of the same heating surface in tbe
market, and will continue to do So as long as it is
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other lot the reason is that cold water is allowed
TO come IN contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
rom the lower TO the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention Of Railroad
men to the following facts, that while running this
boilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neutralzed
and none have ever left the smOke-stack or chimney
which in itself is a most valuable advantage never
before realized
Combining ourselves to practice and not theorv we
invite all parties in want OF Steam Boilers to give MS
call.

Mr.. Spurgeon on a Minister'S
Strike.

Mr.. spurgcon was present at
the laying OF the memorial stone
of q new Baptist Chapel at Lord
ship lane, Dulwich, and in the
course Of an address he said he
was thinking about calling the
ministers together and having a
strike. (Laughter.) He was quite
sure that the ministers OF all de-
nominations did not earn any
thing like so much as the men
who laid the stones Of that build
ing. There were many Of his STU
dents-men who were dong good,
useful work-who, if they earned
as much per annum as an ordinary
laborer, would think themselves
we'll off. How was it possible to
expect o minister to contribute to
the various works, and to mingle
as one Of themselves in society if
he were not supported adequately?
(Hear, hear.) Further on, Mr..
Spurgeon a:!aded 10 the spirit of
"caste," which divided SO many
classes of society. He hoped, they
said, they were not respectable
(Laughter.) There was nothing
in the world be hated so much as
respectability. The respectable
people never spoke to'the respect
able half.sovereign, the respecta.
bic half-sovereign utterly ignored
the existence Of the half,crown,
| the latter in its turn looked with
! contempt upon the sixpence,w while
silv.r had no knowledge Of its re-
lation, copper. (Laugnter:) There
was as much caste to be found in
English society as ever there was
in Hindostan, and what people
termed "respectability" was sim
ply a dislike 10 mingle one with
the other. (Hear, hear.) He should
like liberty, equality and fraterni'
ty, and to sec people shake hands
no matter OF what class, every
Sunday.

The Hairy Chap that Stole
Jerusha Jane.

II is many years since | fell in
love with Jane Jcruslla SkcggS,
thc handsomest country girl. BY
far, that ever went on legs. By
meadow, creek and wood and dell,
SO often did we walk, and the
moonlight smiled on her melting
lips, and the night winds learned
our talk. Jane Jcrusha was all to
me: for ny heart was young and
true, and loved with u doubled
and twisted love, and Il love that
WAS honest too. I roamc,i all
over the neighbors' farm, and l
robbed the wildwood bowers, and
tore my trousers and scratched
my hands in search Of he choicest
flowers. In my joyous love l
brought these t" my Jcrusha
Jane but | wouldn't be so foolish
now: if l We're q boy again. A
city chap then CAME along, ali
dressed up in fine clothes, with a
shiny hat and a shiny vest, and a
moustache under his nose. He
talked to her Of singing schools
(for her father owned a farm) and
she left me, the country love, and
took the new chaps arm. And
all night | never slept, nor could
I eat next day, for [ loved that
girl with q fervent love that
naught could drive away. l strove
to win her back to me, but it was
all in vain; The city chap with
the hairy lip, married Jerusha
Jane. And my poor heart was
sick and sore until the thought
struck me, that just as good fish
remained as ever was caught in
the sea. So l went to the Meth
odist Church one night, and saw
q dark brown curl peeping from
under gypsy hat, and 1 married
that very girl. And many years
have passed and gone, and think
my loss my gain and l often bless
that hairy chap that stole Jerusha
Jane.

How A PRESIDENT IS ELECTED
Not all of our readers, perhaps,
understand the mode by which
the President Of the United States
is elected, as we not unfrequently
hear inquiries on the subject.
Briefly stated the plan is as fol-
lows
Each State is entitled to as many
electors for President and Vice
President as it has Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
In each State the electors are
chosen by a plurality vote. That
is, if there are three sets of elec-
tors voted for, those having the
highestnumber ofvotes are chosen.
But a candidate for President, in
order 10 be successful, must have
a majority of all the electors.
If there be three candidates for
President and none OF them receive
= majority of the Electoral Col,
legc, there is no choice, and the
election then goes to the House Of
Representatives.
The House must confne their
choice to three highest candidates
voted for by the electors. The
Representatives vote by the States,
and each State has but one vote.
so that the power of Delaware is
as great as New York. A candi.
date, to be successful, must receive
a majority ofall the States, ornlne'
teen States. If the delegation is
divided, the vote Of the State can
not be cast, and therefore is lost.

The manufacture of dolls shoes
has become quite a business WITH
in a few years past. A single con-
Germ in New York manufactures
fifty thousand pairs per annum,
using twenty thousand feet of mo-
rocco and sheep, mostly scraps,
besides cutting considerable whole
stock of all the fashionable colors.
