BARLEY COFFEE.

A western paper mentions that barley is
much superior to rye and wheat as a sub
stiiute for green coffee. Take clean good
barley, and wash it we'll through two or
three waters, then put it into boiling wa
ter over the fire, and let it boil until it
swells sufficiently to burst some OF the
grains, then take il off aud drain it aud dry
il in the SUI, in an oven after baking, or
slowly by the fire. 1t is then ready TO
parch as coffee. 1t must be boiled and
cleared in the same manner as green coffee.

MIR. HOLMES. of Massachusetts,.

-
g Mr. Holmes, | think, is what would
be called cute speaker, in that quarter
from which he comes. He affects great
deal of point, in his sentences; and is often
pretty successful. His manner evidently
indicates, that he expects the full force OF
his arguments and sarcasms, to be duly
appreciated by the audience. A certain
tone Of voice, almost bordering upon whine,
has prejudiciaI influence upon his ora
tory-though by the way, it is not very
uncommon among the public speakers of
New England. Take him altogether,
think Mr.. I'll. pretty shrewd sort of a
politician; aud although may think him
neither correct nor profound in his views
yet he is generally ready and apt in his
replies, aud tolerabIy ingenious 10 his ar
guments.
Mr.. CLAY, Of Kentucky.
Mr.. Clay is an orator of a very diff
ferent cast. He is warm, vehement, and,
when fairly engaged, is almost headlong in
his eloquence. To use back moods sim
lie, he seems as though he would g fy off
the helUe," during the paroxy SINS of decla.
nation. He sometimes descends to mimic
the manner Of his opponents; and yet il
the waggery were retorted upon him, it
would certainly exhibit scene no less
ludicrous. The language Of Mr.. C. though
seldom select, and scarcely ever classical
ly polished, is always forcible. He is
unquestionably a powerful speaker; and
will always have considerable influence in
popular assembly.
Mr.. RANDOLPH, Of Virgiaid.
"The style Of Mr. Randolph's rhetoric
having already been delineated by an ADLER

Declaration of independence.


yAZE have no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column Of American
liberty !; none, at least, on which the eye o.
taste can rest, for a moment, with satlsiac-
ton. Why have we not !
The English nation, still. proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyi-
sion ii contains has been trampled upon py
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pup
ished edition after edition of this Instrument,
each more splendid than It's predecessor.-,
Sir William Blackstone has collated ana
commented on this fine copy OF Magna
Charta has been cxceIled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-smiles OF the seals ana
signatur shave made every reader OF TASTE
IN Great Britain acquainted, IN some de-
gree. not merely with the state otknowiedge
and of art at the period in question, out WIN
the literary attajnments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their Barons bold
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is. al least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and if the facsimiles OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed 1t were
published in America, il would serve TO gra-
tify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls Tor limitations OF the correspon-
dents of .Ju1us or of the arislocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration OF lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes 0: the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public IL
berry. Such an embeIished edition as will
render il an ornament to an apartment, Will
have a tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family
will associate the pIeasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with The history OF the
transaction itseIf-and tamiliarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edI-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
