The " Patent Editorial Stove."— It should have been discovered last fall,and not just now, when we are feeling something of the warm, and grateful breath of the, spring. It is a "Patent Editorial Store," warranted to burn only one basket of original poems a day. Our own complete caloriferes-renders stoves quite unnecessary upon our premises, but we think of ordering one. of the new burners for special use. Very few "poems" have,in them fire enough, to render their spontaneous combustion probable ; but we believe that an amalgam or conserve of " poems," sawdust, and tar would make excellent kiudiing. A cremation of this kind has in it a more romance propriety than the lacerations and reduction to pulp of the paper mill; it is fit that tbe end should be like the beginning, and that what was born of fever should perish of fervour. We suppose that the new stove will not be expensive to begin with, while it will be, no doubt, economical in tbe using. Why not buy one, dear young master or miss? Why. not have large ones for boarding schools and colleges ? Why not offer them as prizes in rythmical competitions —a stov6 to the writer of the longest offering ?—New York Tribune.
