I allude to young Denham Massey, of tho 19th—I believe the youngest officer of'the army, beiug only in his fifteenth year. He is known as 'Redan Massey,' for there are three of the samo name in the regiment. This noble biy,in the absence of his cousin,led the Grenadier Company, and was about tho first man in the corps to jump into the ditch of the Redan, waving his sword and calling on his m«n wl». noVjly »tuunl by Silm "Till 1PIX Tor

There was a silence of death, and more than once he had it MflU'wcd by similar appeals Th«» unquailing spirit of the beardless boy ruled all around him. As evening came on, the Ru«»ians crept out of the Redan and plundered some of the wounded, at the same time showing kindness and in many cases giving water. Men with bayonets rixed. frequently came over the body of young Massey. One fellow took away his haversack. Sometimes he feigned death. At other times the pain of his wound would not pcrmtt him. A Russian officer, with a drawn sword, came to him and endeavored to disengage the sword, which he still grasped. Seeing that resistance was in vain, he gave it up. The Russian smiled gently and compasionately on him.fascinated probably by his youth, and by the hold, unfaltering glance "which met his. When the works of the Redan wpre blown up by the retreating Russians, the poor boy had his leg fearfully crushed by a falling stoue. He was found in the morning by some Highlanders, and brought to his Regiment almost dead from loss of blood.

1article

ST. That ws are manufacturing a belter of Cooking Stoves, from a very large variety of patterns, than are kept at auy aimilar establishment on the Wabash. 2d. That we are selling them very cheap— cheaper than as good an article can be obtained elsowhere. 3d. Thai they are folly warranted, and that we are always prepared to repair them cheaply at substantially, at short notice, hav-' ing the plates, or pattern to make them, always on nind. 4th. That a Stove made at a distance ia not worth half as much as one of ours, for when a plate breaks or bnrns oat, it uses up the whole institution, as it costs more to repair it, than to bay a ne~ one whereaa, we can al-! ways fit a plate into a stove of o&r own make, at a very irifliag expense. 5U». Our STOVES are thicker, and consequently more durable than those made farther ibaxt, and not liable to fire-craks.

Now, friend, if yon want to be happy, and make voor wife and children happy, come to the fountain head and get the genuine article, and yon will always invoke bleaaioga on our head's aa public benefactors.
