We wish some genius would invent

we think the people would enrich the

At present we are spending vast sums
of money in this country yearly for
fuel that is wasted in our awkward
heating contrivances.
The amount OF heat that disappears
up the chimneys without doing any
good to the people who pay for the
coal and wood that furnish the heat il
enormous. There must be some way
TO save this heat, and it ia no credit 10
our people that SO much money is
wasted in trying 10 keep warm. Near

summation OF these enterprises.
Also the following pertaining to
man ufactures
Resolced, As an important agency
in the successful prosecution of this
department of industry, this Conven-
ton recommends the following:
l. That statutory provisions be made
whereby the taxes on mschiuery used
for manufacturing purposes, of certain
value, and for q specified length of
time, be abated.
z. That associations or corporations
be formed throughout the State for es-
tablishing manufactures and cooper
ating with foreign capital in giving
credit and pecuniary aid.
y. That as agricultural and mechan-
ic arts are mutually dependent, each
being most proftably carried on in
near relation to the other, this con.

that public discussion, addrt sses

everything legitimate be brought tc

Mrs. Partlet felt her checks flush
scarlet; she glanced up TO where the
Squire was checking off a list of items
in the bill he was making out against
s0me client. But he never looked
around. and Mrs, buckingham went on
with her never ceasing flow of chit
chat, and SO the color died on her
cheek. After all, the money had been
her own to give. and the old oil-cloth
in front of the dining room stove had
answered very well.
She met Luke Ruddilove that AFTER
noon for the first time since his return
to Sequosseset-Luke himself, and yet
not himself,--ihc demon of intemper-
ance crushed out of his nature, and
its better, nobler elements triumphing
at last. He looked her brightly in the
face, as he held out his hand.
"Mary."
"I'm glad to see you back here again
Luke she said tremulously.
"And well you may be-" he replied.
"Do you remember the night you gave
me the dollar bill, and begged me not
to go to the tavernf"
"Yes."
"That night was the pivot on which
my whole destiny turned. You were
kind to me when every one spoke
coldly; you trusted me when all other
faces were averted. l vowed VOW
to prove worthy of your confidence
and I have kept it. l did not spend
the money! treasured It up-and
heaven has added nightly to my little
store. l put the dollar bill under the
cornerstone of my new house, for the
house has risen from it, and it alone.
won't offer to pay you back, for I'm
afraid, he added smilingly, ''the luck
would 60 from me with it }; but I'll tell
you what I will do Mary; l will give
money and words of trust to some
other poor wretch, as you gave to me-"
And Squire Partlet never knew
what his wife did with the dollar bill
he gave her to buy new piece of oil
cloth.
