The PRINTER's AppRENTlcE.-A young man

The PRlNTER's AppRENrlcE.-A young man
was apprenticed in this city as printer. He
boarded at the house of his father, who was
in easy circumstances, but who required his
son to pay for his board from the avais of
special perquisites, which furnished his fell
low apprentices with liberal supply Of funds
for pleasure. This the young man thought
was hard, but when he was Of age, aud mas
ter of his trade, his father called him and said:
+" Here my son, is the entire amour. of money
paid to me for board during your apprentice
ship; never intended to retain it but have
reserved it for your use-with it give you
as much more as small capital to commence
business The wisdom of the old man was
now apparent to the son. His fellows had
contracted bad habits in the expenditures of
similar perqnisites which his father had with
held from him, and Were now penniless in vice.
He was enabled with good character to
commence small business, and now stands
at the head Of publishers in this country
Most of his companions in apprenticeship are
miserbly poor, vicious and degraded.

Mn. WEBsTER's ENGLISH SYMpaTHlEs.-
Mr.. Webster's warnings in favor Of British
politics and British interests, are as well I'M
derstood in England sa in America. The
''John Bull" Tory print, says of him:
s.The information brought from America by
the Britannia, of the resignation Of the whole Of
the American Cabinet, with the exception Of
Mr.. Webster, has not come upon us with sur
prise. From the moment President Tyler
took his line in the Bank question, and exhibi-
ted such jacksonville pertinacity in maintain
ING it, we foresaw the crash must come.
"Mr. Webster, indeed, keeps his place, and
Mr.. Webster is known to be friendly to Bri-
fish alliance.'

COFFEE Us. LIQUoR.-The substitution in
Great Britain of coffee for beer and spirits, has
increased its consumption to such an extent
as to call the attention of government TO the
propriety of reducing the duties on the impor-
taiion of it, as one Of the most efficient means
OF producing moral reform among the people.
The examination before parliamentary COM
| mittee, of several keepers Of modern Coffee
houses in London, gives curious and inter-
esting view of the progress of the habit Of
coffee drinking as substitute for dram drink
ing. 1t seems that there were not over ten or
twelve OF these coffee shops in London, twen-
ty-fve years ago; now they munger 1900, and
they are increasing at the rate of 100 year.
The price per cup Of coffee is from Id to Sd,
and one Of the keepersswho charges lid per
cup, tesiifies that he has from 1900 to 1900
persons daily at his house.
The consumption of coffee by the laboring
classes in London, is shown by the examina-
ton Of another witness-the proprietor Of an
extensive coffee house. The laboring man
cones 10 the morning at 4 o'clock, and has a
esp at eoifoe >snd r}ic- of bread and butter.
sos which he pays Led; and then again at
eight, for his breakfast, he has cup Of coffee,
penny loaf, and penny worth of butter,
which is Sd; at one o'clock he comes again
and has his coffee, his bread and meat; at this
hour Of the day. there are upwards of one hum
bred dining in one room at tine. These
coffee houses are now generally resorted to by
all classes, and it has become fashionable and
customary, to drink coffee and ask friend to
drink it with you. in place of liquor. The
duties on coffee in England are very high, the
duty on colonial coffee being about IL l-2
cents per h., and on foreign coffee almost 80
cents. Even at these high duties a cup of
coffee is sold al cents, and the consumption
is twenty-five millions of pounds annually
II is supposed that with moderate reduction
of duties, the consumption would be increased
one hundred millions Of pounds.
In Ireland the reformation has been still
more extraordinary; through the exertions Of
Father Matthew, the great Temperance Re-
former, millions have taken the Pledge of To-
tai Abstinence, and those reformed drinkers
are aided in their resolutions, by the free use
Of Coffee instead of whiskey. In the dis
tricts of Ireland under the influence of Father
Matthew, in all the public houses coffee is
sold instead Of whskey.

THE MlLI.RNlIfM-

The Middle Duieh Church was foil 10 ovsrho.ing
lat evening TO hear sermon from the Rev. D.
Brownlee, upon the subject Of the Millennium. The
sermon was one Of the nbss, wo have heard for
long umc. Il argued that the doctrines Of Miller
wefo a gfeit deusion, and hat those who believed
them would believe any thing. IN regard to the
predictions of the prophet Daniel, (which form the
basis Of the theory Of Mlller) that the world will
como 10 on end IN April, 1915, the Doctor showed
lhaI there were six dates occupying slnco OF time
between l7s2 and 1868, any one of which would

son for the one date which would not answer for tbs
other, and for the matter there was no resson IN
any Of tho dates assumed when the word would
como 10 an end. They were periods Of linns when
some moral event might take place, as in 1882, when
both in ths new world and the old, IN The church
,nd the world there were important revolutions.
The question whether the Millennium had passed
or vas TO como. was ably argued also. and many
reasons we're given TO show that there had been no
period 10 the history Of the world whom that had ia

that tho Millennium would not commence for I75
