Inc author OF this volume is well known as dill
gent and successful writer for childhood and the
present Is, we think, one of her happest efforts.
ahy Oh the pieces are characterised by great beau

alude especially to those which are supposed to be
spoken by the mother are less successful in the vein
OF instruction which pervades Them and contain too
many formal, arbitrary injunctons and occasionally
tnought above the comprehension of a child

"We know not what line of policy General Jack
son will adopt We take it for granted, however,
that he will reward his friends. and punish his enc
emies.''
The United States Telegraph, Of Monday, the Sd |
instant contains the above paragraph. From it we
understand, that the Editor expects that all now 10
office under Mr.. Adams, who opposed the election
of General jackson, are to beturned out and their
places to be supplied by part,zas of the General.
Now, il so happens, that there two sides to
ry question, and the friends Of Mr.. .4da,ns. will
have the majority in the Senate of the United States
after the fourth of March next, the nation naturally
turns with an eye OF great anxiety to that enlghten
ed body, with the expectation that it will save the
country from those ills which now threaten it. The
constitution of the United States has very wisely,
given to the Senate ordinate powers with those
possessed by the President in the appointment Of
most Of the important officers of Government, and.
therefore 1t is, that the nation looks with so much
socitude for II to exercise jadicious controlling
influence oyerthe appointments of the next Presi-
dent 1t will be recollected. that notwithstanding
Mr.. Buchanan, General Jackson's only Witness de-
ciared IN the most positive terms, that if there
any "bribery corruption IN the election of Wr.
adams, he inev nothing of IT, the jackson papers
and orators insisted most Justify, that because Mr..
Clay had been appointed Secretary offs State, and Wr
Cook had been sent secret mission to ST. Jago
de Cuba and they had voted for Mr.. Adams, these
circumstances to be taken conclusive proofs
of the existence of corrupt bargain between Mr..
Adams and those who supported him. To this po-
siton the advocates of General Jackson would take
no denial tits, therefore, but just and proper that
we should mete out to those Simon Pares-these
exclusive patriots, the ofther own prescrp-
tion. They have no doubt, been contendiug for the
cause OF General jackson, merely decaase It Is the
cause Of ate people, and not because they wished Of
tfra. opJ hove "a l..t..
their conduct should, like Casar's wife, be placed
beyond suspicion. This is due to such disnterest-
ed lovers of the people. God bless them! We are

CopFEE.-To make good coffee it is said to
be necessary to burn it, grind it, and steam 1t,
not boil it, all in quick succession. This is the
method of the Turks and Arabs, who excel in
making coffee. If you boil it but a few mis-
nu,es, the subtle particles which give il its fine
favor, all go off irto the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing is from Philips History of Vegetables:
"In the first place you mus, buy a Rumford
coffee pot, or piggin, with stralners IN il, and if
you cannot afford FIVE, six or Sc wen shilIings for
this, you must give up the idea of coffee till you
can; for i, cannot be made either good or cheap
without. You will lose more money in a few
weeks, by boiling your coffee, and wasting it in
the air, than would buy you such a pot, which
would last you for years. Your coffee is to be
put into the upper s%lrainer, boiling water pour.
ed over it, and soon as it has run through i, is
ready. If you do This rightly, it ought to be
as clear and high-colCred as brandy, and of a
fine strong favour; that is supposing you use
a mixture OF one half Mocha or Turkey coffee,
and one half Berbice or Bourbon, which is bet
ter than either singlv. You must not forget,
also, 70 boil the milk (cream if you have il
which you put with your coffee, for cold milk
or cream will spoil the bes, coffee ever prepared.
