Acorn Stoves and Ranges.

The wellknown "Acorn" Stoves and
Ranges are made by one of the Oldest and
largest houses in the country, Messrs
Rathbone, Sard & Co., of Albany, Detroit
and Chicago, and the name "Acorn" is
given only to the better class of goods
The Acorn has led off in the recent
great improvements, and while some OF
them have been initiated, the patent office
gives protection 10 essential features The
greatest care is given 10 the quality Of ma
terials and workmanship in making the
"Acorn." Tasteful designers make them
attractive in appearance, and long, prac-
tical experience has taught the manuiact-
urers how to make them durable, economi-
cal, good bakers and convenient. Thou
sands of testimonials could be produced
showing their superiority in these points !
out the reputation OF the "Acom" and its
manufacturers is so well established, the
improvements and advantages of the
"Acorn" are so apparent, that with the
recommendation and guarantee of the
seller, you may select an "Acorn" with
perfect confidence that you are getting the
best cooking apparatus for the money, that
is sold. In both Cooking Stoves and
Ranges there is so large variety in size
price and finish, as to supply the wants OF
those who want good but cheap article,
rs well as those who want the very best.
The "Acorn" is made for burning either
wood, coal, or both. Every variety OF
Reservoir, Hot Closet, Hot Shelf, Water
Back, &C., can be supplied. As you buy a
Range or Stove to last twenty years, select
a good reliable one, that will be satisfac-
tory to use every day in the year-a poor
one is dear at any price-the best is the
cheapest.

Literary Notes.

From the edition of Messrs. Geo. p,
ROwell & Co.'S AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
DIRECTORY, now in press, it appears that
the newspapers and periodicals of all
kinds at present issued in the United
States and Canada reach grand total Of
13,402. This is net gain Of precisely
1000 during the last twelve months, and
exhibits an increase of 6,61s over the total
number published just ten years since.
The.increase in 1874 over the total for
1873 was 493. During the past year the
dailies have increased from 1,19S to 1, 254
the weeklies from 9y062 to lO09S and the
monthlies from 1901 to 1,499. The great
est increase in the Western States. iii.
nois, for instance, now shows 1000 in
place Of last years total of 904, while Mis-
souri, issues 6O4 instead of 523 reported in
1888. Other leading Western States also
exhibit great percentage of increase. The
total number Of papers in New York state
is 1923 against 1899 in 1888. Canada has
shared in the general increase.
The cosmopolitan character of our
American magazines has never been better
illustrated than In the announcement OF
the May HARPER's, Certainly American
topics, authors, and artists are thoroughly
represented, but there will be also papers
on English French, and German subjects,
written by Englishmen, Frenchmen, and
Germans, and illustrated by English and
French artists. William Black, William
Sharp, Alfred Parsons, A. +. Jacassy, and
Dr. Moritz Busch are among the contribu.
tors in question. Yet HARPERs is com.
monty counted the most American of our
magazines.
No special attention seems hitherto to
have been called to the remarkable por.
traits of American statesmen that have
recently been appearing in HARPER's.
They have included so far full.page por.
traits Of Washington, the elder Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, and Alexander Ham.
ilton, besides several smaller portraits; for
the May number we are promised Monroe,
Henry Clay, and Rufus King; and Mr..
Krueel, the distinguished engrayer who
has done most Of these, is understood to
be busy upon the younger Adams, Jack.
son, Calhoun, Webster, and others. The
portrait of Buchanan in the January mum.
Der may also be mentioned. Many of
these have been engraved from original
paintings or drawings not before repro
duced, and the result is likely to be an
American portrait gallery fitly presented
in the highest style of the especially
American art of wood-engraving.
The number Of artist.authors who con.
tribute both text and pictures TO the
illustrated magazines is becoming note
worthy. The May HARPER's will again
present Mr.. Howard Pyle in this double
capacity, through story called "a May.
Day Idyl," and add a new recruit to the
list in the person Of Mr. A. +. Jacassy,
whose pen and pencil tell OF Kairwan, the
holy city Of Tunis. 1t is good news that
Mr.. George II. Boughton, A. .RA., is to
contribute another series OF papers and
sketches On Holland to the same magazine.

o little town Of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by,
Yet 10 thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears Of all the years
Are met 10 thee tonight.
For Christ ia born Of Mary,
And gathered all above,
while mortas sleep the angels keep
Their watch Of wondering love.
o morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birthl
And praises sing 10 God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift 10 given;
SO God imparts to human hearts
The blessings Of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world Of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

Descend to US, we pray;
Caft out our sin and enter In,
Be born in M to-day.
