It can be used on any cooking stove, range or fhrnace with per fect sue css. Each section is separate in doing its cooking— nil the different sections being snj - plied with steam direct from the boiler. Most of the steam is condensed, thereto* but little escapes into the room, and but little odor. Only a few quarts of water cook for* family, thereby oaving fuel and the excess 0i kitchen heat, especially in summer. It perform* like a charm on a gas stove. The superior excel'.enc and heaUhfulntss of steam-cooked food need only a lew trials to satisfy all. A supply of water being kept in the boiler, the food cannot be burnt; needs no careful j watching as ordinarily, and may be kept hot I far hours when needed, without burning, drv ' ing, or loss of flavor. Steamed pot-pies are simply delicious: aud corned-beef, potatoes, dimpling?, puddings, onions, parsnips, etc., are cooked at the ?nmo time without mixing flavors in the least. It is just the thing to pre pare fruit’for canning or other purposes. No dirty pot* or kettles; No filling thb Toom with steam and odor irom food; no heating o rooms in summer when they sliouUl be kept cool; no burnt food when not carefully watch ed : the food kept ready and warm for hours ; and the saving m care, labor und fuel in one season will pay the cost of a Cooker, to say nothing of the excellence and healthtulneas of the cooking. Very little steam escapes, there fore all the flavor and richness is retained, and this very feature gives universal satisfaction. It saves one-sixth of everything, compared with boiling or roasting or baking in the or dinary way It docs not need half the atten tion to oook as by any other method. It cannot destroy or injure the food by burn ing or neglect. It furnishes more pala'able and nutritious :bod. It saves the handling ot num erous cumbersome iron pots. It furnishes the most simple and perfect method of cooking by steam. It cooks meats aud vegetables so ns to retain tbeir original flsvur.

To him who iu the love of nature holds Cominnuhra with her visible forms, she speaks A various language; tor his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darksr mueings, with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts Of the last bitter hour como like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and the narrow home^ Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart ;— Go forth, under the open sky, and list To Nature’s teachings, while from all around— Earth and her waters and the depths of air,— Conics a still voice—Yet a few days, and thee The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his coarse; u .r yet in the cold ground, Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears, Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist Thy image. Earth that nourished thee, shall claim The growth, to be resolved to earth again, And, lost each human trace, surrendering up Tbine individual being, ahalt thou go To fix foreve* with the elements, To be a brother to the insensible-rock And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain Turns with his share, and treads upon. T£e oak _ Shall send hi* root* abroad, aud pierce thy mould. # S Yet net to tliine eternal resting place Shalt thou retire alone, nor oouldst thou wish Couch more magnificent.

The golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are shining on the sad abodes of death Through the still lapse of sges. All that tread Thj globe arc but a handfcl to the tribes That slumber in its bosom. Take the wings Of morning, traverse Barca’s desert sands, Or loose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound, Save his own dashing*—yet—the' dead are there: And millions in those solitudes, since first The flight of years began, have laid them drwu In their lost sleep—the dead reign there alone. So shall thou rest, and what if thou withdraw In silence from the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure ? All that br. athe Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as beiore will chase llis favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employmei ts, and shall come And make their bed with tbee. A* tlie long train Of ages glide away, the sons of men.
