fnithful woman would arise Com the

a blanket over it, she would lake

Upou our expressing a horror at the
thought of the danger the had run,and
which apparently had told with so
much power upon her, she quietly roinsiked
that ?lie knew at the time the
daugei she was incuniug. She had no
thought of danger to herself, and only
of her husband's comfort. " Hut," add
cd she, " 1 then got what I never recovered
from." A certain vitality seemed
to go out of her; and though her na
ture contended for tuauv years against
the encroachment of the disease, she
finally died, always Lclieving that the

joy that such bad really beet! the fact.

perhaps, a moment of heahhful out ofdoor

to find not a few of such healthy

to suffer with indigestion, debility, and
fiually cough, and all the symptoms of

fact, the attendant has died before the
life of tbe original patient has ended.
These facts are very significant, and
though w? are well awaro that, iu some
of them, other elements of disease may
have had their fatal influence, still the
cases have been full of suggestions us
to the necessities of greater precautions
than we in this country have usually
taken in this matter.

invention to heralded through
the columns of the Nwv York World
that presagos a revolution in domestic
ecutiomi', and excite* the hope thai
fuel may be economised to the lowest
point.
Professor John . Johnson, of &aco,
Maine, hits obtained papers from the
patent oflice securing the ifrvefltbr's
right io this discovery, which threatens
destruction to stoves, furnaces and
grates. Mr. Johnson's heater promises
to " enable tbe housewife to warm her
apartment in a few moment# by light*
ing a match' And giving herself no
further trouble about fuel, dirt or danj
age. Sbe may, indeed, take the con
trivance under iter arm and carry it to
any room in liie nouse, navmg ouiy 10
place it on (lie floor, and, without any
bhpertifion, it begins nl once to bring
the atmosphere of the rootn tip to an
agreeable J^gtee of heat by steady cur
tenia of ivann, wholesome air."
This heater " consists of ait uir tight
ahectlron cylinder with a cluster of tubes
running through it fioin lop to bot
torn, and which are open at both cuds.
The bottom of this heater is," in the
centre, cup shaped, and holds a little
water, and jast below it is a gas burner
or lamp. This constitutes a full desciiptiou
of the invention. Tito water
put into the cop at the bottom is jtnu
sufficient to fill the timet space of the
cylinder with steam at ordinary nituospbeiic
pressure; in the smallest sixo of
heater this quantity amounts to little
inure than a tablespodnfal?it being un
accepted Axiom that a cubic inch of
water will make a cubic fool of steam

The water is sealed tip hermetically
when the cylinder is made, and nothing
remains for the owner but to light
the gas jut under it. Immediately tin;
*leaiu riaea into the cylinder, beating
all thd radiating suiface, and the ex
c-?? passing into the little cundouser at
ilm top is reconverted into water, and
run* back into the cup. Thus goes on,
self tcguluiing, a process as simple a*
the operation of rolni heat. If the

The Sure Way to be Poor.
There is a way tb be atwfcya as poor
as pb?erty; and that w?v h just a*

Sun. Ten thdttHand men and boys,
women and girls, hare tried it, are te?ting
it to day, and not one of them ever
found the way to fail; and the practice
never mil fail to give poverty
enough. And yet people seldom see
it. The stupid never do see it. For
thai very reason the world is full of
poor people, who might to Independent
livers with head and shoulders

t'rav tell what it can be ! Tl is .this :
To lose ooe or two days every week do
iog nothicg because you can't get
higher wages ; to drink two glasses of
lager or some other expen-ive drink
every day; to smoke two cigars and
keep a worthless dog! .Thai is the
most complete recipe for perpetual poverty
that any poor person can desire.
Now let us ace how tyranioally this
practice takes the bread and butter
light out of a poor man's inoulh, and
Mi ins a neat warm coat otf his back.-?
Figures never lie. One day lost in
idleness every week, at n low estimate
would be $1 DO per week, or 3^70 per
venr, chan cash. Five cents a pin*#
for two glasses of lager per day would
bo only$30.50 for three .huudrcd and

I Every man of common sense must
admit that the rules to be adopted for
a rational system of saving manure,
must bo based on the knowledge of
this process ;'and mav lay down
the fallowing rules in relation to it:
1. The ground silVcted fv>r the disposition
of stable manure should be
fc\>!ii in order to permit, the e^ual di?
triunlion of the manure on it, and thus
secure the heap uniformity in thickness.
Only in this case the process of putro...

part of the heap, and iis body will
prove to bo a homogeneous character.
2. The inanuie should be protected
against the direct rays of the surt, in
older to prevent the too rapid advance
of the putrefactive process, and a consequent
generation of heat which vvi'.T
incur a considerable lost of ammonia.
Practical experiment* uiade wiih equal
weights of stable manure exposed to
the tun, and with that under cover,
show the (fleet of the latter to be,
wiibjn a certain lime, about twenty-five
per cent greater than the former.
3. The manuro heap should be kept
moderately moist; if it bo loo <jry, the
degree ofbe.il then produced will vola
lilize ammonia ; if loo wet, an acid bus
mus will be formed which being soluble
in water, acts veiy injuiiously on veg
elation. In order best to attain this
end, the ground should be alighlly in
elined, and all tbe fluid (bat runs from
the Leap be collected in a pit, and from
time to litue scattered over the lieAp.

fifty miles on a wagon, would cost at
least &12 for team, diiver and expenses.
A niilrond would transport it for ?4, at
most. Allowing on an average of forty
bushels per acre, the crop would be
worth $8 more per acre, or 8 per cent,
on $100, As the relative advantage is
about the same for other crops, it is
clear ilia', a railroad passing through a

York railways. Tliough these wheel*
cost tineo timea the price of the ordinary
cast iiun wheels, ihe expense, it i?
contended, is of little consequence wlieu
compared with llio advantages gained.
They tide smoothly, making conversation,
reading, and even writing, an easy
ta-k on the cars. They are made of
thoroughly reasoned elm, or teak, with
steel tires; are very durable, and will
wear, by reason of their elasticity and
durability, over four bundled thousand
miles of railway, while the average use
of the ordinary irou wheel is but fifiy
thousand miles, after which it is necessary
to break it up. It is also asserted
that this wheel is so constructed that it
is impossible for the tire to become dis
placed, and that the wear to tho track
is much less than by the cast iron
wheel. Wooden wheels are used on
the Metropolitan Underground Kailway,
of London, where the frequent
and sudden starlings and stoppages of
(ho trains are calculated to rack and
destroy the material of which they are
composed. Jvo accident, it is a&scrlcd,
