The Best Wood and Soft Coal
Burner Ever Made.
Fifty Per Cent. Of Fuel
S A. Y p D

Tho lowest temperature at which combus-
ton Of coal can take place, is never below 500
degrees, so that if coal is heated to tho lowest
temperature consistent with harmony, and
then current Of cold air be forced on it, the
fire will be entirely put out while if air as
warm Is tho coal is substituted, it will kindle
At once. In the former case, heat was taken
from the coal to equa'izo the temperature with
that Of the air; in the latter, no such de-
pressing effect was produced, and the case is
parallel with this new stove, which supplies
bot air, and avoids reducing tho heat Of the
fuel.
So We see that this high heating Of the
draught, by means Of such circuitous passa-
ges, q this stove presents, is not the result of
ACCIDENTAL EXPERIMENT, but the
NATURAL DEVELOPMENT Of ESTAB-
LISHED SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES, in
which theory suggests the method Of accom-
plishing desired result, and practice fully
supportsi it. For adaptability to general usc,
and for convenience, its equal cannot be found,
and for utilizing the waste heat, end saving
Of one-half tho fuel ordinarily used., the

The QUESTION OF DAMAGEs.-At
a dinner table in Washington recently
the conversation took a religious turn
1.-TWO ministers being presently, and the
introduction of sin into the world and
the responsibility of Adam and Eve for
thcshort- comings Of this generation
were discussed. A very liberal gentle
man remarked that he did not believe
in saddling our sins upon our first par
ents. To this minister assented, but
at the same time reiterated the old story
about the fall of man. Whereupon an-
other, of worldly mind, remarked that
while it might not be exactly just to
hold them directly responsible, yet, if
the story as told be true, we ought Ger
tainly to put in claim for consequential
domaycs.-Editor's Drarcr, ~ Hoper's

On Monday evening. September 23d,
as the inmates Of Minnereka Farm
House were about to retire, the sound
Of approaching wheels foretold the ar
rival Of guests. Some friends from
Nevada came to spend the evening,
rendering themselves doubly welcome
by the presentation Of an elegant b.
quet Of dahlias intermingled'~ith small
Ter flowers and vcrdant leaves. The
delicate fragrance Of tho mignionette
breathed Of sweet friendship aud awak-
ened memories Of the bridal wreath
that bloomed ten years ago in the far
away home on the hill. Kind friends
enjoyed the surprise Of the host and
hostess. Snowy napkins we're removed
from well-6llcd baskets, the improviscd
extension table was loaded with "good-
les" snd glittering tin gifts we're con-
spicuously displayed, proving that
friends had remembered that the 23d
Of September was q precious anniver-
sary. AS the bountiful repast was
served, sparkling wit and gay repartee
and merry laughter ruled the hour !;
healths were drunk from shining tin
tumbles, and kind wishes were show
cred upon tho bride and groom of ten
years. Old and young joined in plea
SAINT games, and music sweet and JOY
GUS, resounded mid the grove Of grand
old oaks. From the starlit, midnight
sky the silvcry moon looked calmly
down, lighting the homcward way Of
those who had contributed to make the
evening so pleasant that its remem.
brance will be one of the bright, we'll.
loved pictures hung in mcn,ory's hail
Gratefully throbbed the happy hearts Of
those left in the quiet home as they re-
counted the kindncssess Of neighbors
and friends. 3.

, Prof. L. J. Thompson publishes the
following recommendation J:
To Pastors and Sunday school officers and
teachers of tho State OF Minnesota.
The Executive. Committee Of the Minnesota
State Sunday School Association respectfully
invite your attention to the call of the Lon
don Sunday School Union for universal pray
er in behalf Of Sunday schools throug bout
the world, upon the goth aud 2lst Of October,
1872.
We heartily recommend its observance by
oil tho Sunday schools in the State.
z. J. TnoxPsoN,.
Chairman Com.
Tho subject is one which should en-.
list the lively sympathy Of all who re-
cognize the value Of prayer as a means
Of scuring an especial manifestation of
Gods grace, and the outpouring Of
His Spirit. Surely if we may make a
special invocation in behalf Of ally
class Of persons, the youth should have
precedence Of all other subjects. We
entertain hope that the occasion will
be universally observed.
The following is the London [Eng-
land) Committees circular, setting
forth the proposed order Of observance.
The Committee propose that Lords Day,
the goth Of October, and Monday, the 2lst
OF October, should beIet apart for this uni
n ia H. Gill;
order should be rs closely observed IS possible:
That on Lords Day Morning, October Goth,
between and 8, ell teachers should offer spe-
eial prayer, in private, for Gods ble.sing up
on their work especially in the conversion Of
their scholars to himself.
That the usual services Of tho day should be
varied. and each school gathered for prayer,
the proceedings being Interpreted by suita-
bic addresses.
That in tho evening Of the day tho teachers
meet for prayer, either before or after Public
Worship.
That on Monday, October 2lst, between 7
and 8 A. ~, all teachers should again offer
special prayer in private, for Gods blessing
upon their work.
That in the course of tho day the female
teachers Of each school should hold a prayer
meeting.
That in the evening special prayer meet
ing should be held ny every church, on behalf
Of the Sunday School, suitable and stirring
addresses being intcrmingled with tho pray ors.
Appropriate topics for duplication and in
tercession will present themselves to all. Above
everything tie prayers should DO fur special
outpouring Of the Holy Spirit, importing to
tho teachers heavenly wisdom, to the
scholars docility and seriousness; enkindling
the deeper interest Of tho churches in the
work and leading, o. the happy result, to n

nent, while tho nomination of Mr.. Slim.
son was quite closely contested by W. B.
Spencer, Of Leroy. Geo. Baird and
Burr Maxwell were the principal candi-
dates for Sheriff, with fortune in favor of
the former. Mr.. Maxwcll's course in
the convention was such as to gain for
himself many friends who will not fail
to holl him in favorable remembrance.
The delegations FROM Racine and
frankfort presented the name Of F..
A. Elder for representative. but the
feeling seemed to be very strong in
favor Of Mr.. Stimsou, and Mr.. Elder
yielded gracefully to the force Of cir
cumstances. Judge Rose was re-nom in
atcd over VIM. Litch6cld, of Lansi ng-
a first class manly only single vote.
H. e. Tanner, Of Red Rock, was re-
nominated by reclamation, for CON-
missioner of the first District.
1t is gratifying to know that al.
though the contest, was in some cases
very spirited, all accept the situation
cheerfully and will give the ticket q
hearty support.
