TO MAKE Coop CoFFEE.-First, procure
the best coffee in the market; wash it very
clean, and roast it to the color of a golden
brown, but not a deeper shade by any means.
Then take the whites of three eggs to each
pound s Of coffee 6 t yAi|s M" g%Fg@ssaa.gsd, ji% g."s Ias&
over with bladders to render them air-tieht.
Take from the vessels sufficient coffee for
one making only at IA time grind it,, place
it in fine muslin bag, (ifa" diggem" is not
used, suspend it about midway in the pot,
turn on the boiling water, and put on the
cover, 10 prevent the escape of steam. BY
this mode, the coffee will be very strong, but
ii is best to reduce it by the addition of boil
ing hot milk, when it will form a most deli
cious beverage-very different indeed from
that which is produced by boiling the ground
coffee in water. And to be convinced of
the fact, that by the above method, which
is simply infusion, all the virtues of the coz
fee may be obtained, i, is only necessary to
take the drcgs left in the bag, and boil them
in water for a considerable time; the resul,
will be, a black, bitter, nauseous, feverish,
woody extract, without IA trace of the fine fla.
vor of coffee, and answering well to the
name by which it was known on its first in

AMERICAN PRINTs.-We had the pleasure
yesterday of examining some patterns of
American prints, from the works Of Mr..
Benjamin Cozzens, Providence, r. !. and
now in the hands Of MesSs. Lippincol,, Way
& Wolcoit, commission merchants, No. Is,
South Front street. These patterns were OF
the block cl.in,z style, in close imitation, or
rather resemblance, of Grechn velvet pat
terms, now much in vogue, the chintz, how
ever, being otherwise ornam.nted by having
the plaid. ~m,erspersed. at proper intervals,
with small patterns Of lowersprigs.
We have had more than one opportunity
TO notice the success which attends the eff
forts of our e~nterprising andingenious man
u(acturers, to supply the maket with goods,
which, while they are equal, at least to those
of France and England in beauty, excel them
in durability ; and we consider the prints to
which we now refer, as honorable evidences
of the ability Of the Americans to compete
with foreign manufactures, and place the
country In a state of true independence of all
that ministers to the convenhnces of life
And w trust. that the successful exertions
which we, from time to time, notice among
those connected with manufactures, will he
so literally rewarded, as to invite others in
to the field Of enterprise, and stimulate all to
healthful and patriotic emllation.-U. S,

through that period, as fast as he thinks it
will if the earth stands so long, then, dread

CHEESE is becoming a very considerable
item Of export to China. The first expert
ment in the expectation of this article to
Canton, we are informed, was undertaken
by Mr.. C. E. Hopkins, commission merchant
OF this city, and it proved so profitable that
it is rapidly increasing in amount and prom

our exports 10 that country. 1t is packed
whole in cases filled with saw dust and SOL
dered so as to exclude air. In this way it
keeps well and we trust may continue to pay
well. We are always grahhed at the sue
cess Of every effort to add to the number and
variety Of the articles Of export of our own
production. and particular, in those articles
which, like this, enlarge th, maket for our
agricultural products, and a the same time
gives additional employment to our mechan-
ical industry. In this case the farmer is

turer Of tin finds increased employment, and
the freighis of the navigator are increased by
the carrying OF both these con,modities.-N

in the mind Of every unp~rejudiced person.
whatever doubts aud perplexities he may
have hi,hcrio entertained on the subject.
We said, that if Governor Chittenden was
a traitor then was Washington. We repeat
it boldly for we here make the assertion,
that General Washington was conIfdentially
and fully made acquainted, by these very
men themselves, from first to last, with the
whole ofthis alleged reasonable negotiation;
that keeping their secret he acquiesced, by
his silence, till the object was answered, in
their proceedings, and even made his milf
tary dispositions, as We believe it will be
found, accordingly. The proof of this is to
be found under Washington's own hand, con
firmcd by his " signature, in the secret
correspondence between him and Chittenden
on the very subject, which, hitherto unpub-
lished and unnoticed on the catalogue, has
recently been discovered in the archives at
Washington. This fact the several conf
dental letters fro Chittenden to Washing
ton, while the negotiation was going on, fully
make known. And this fact the long, in
teresting and confding reply of Washington
toward the close of the war, as fully ac-
knowledges. And in this very familiar and
friendly letter, though he raises doubts about
the policy of such movements, as tending to
raise false hopes in the enemy, and thereby
induce them to prolong the contest, yet he
repeatedly expresses his entire confidence in
the steadfastness of the Vermont leaders in
the cause of freedom, and wholly exonerates
them from any but the purest and most pat.
rio,ic motives. If Colonel Stone will read
this correspondence, a copy of which is in

THE POOR,

The cold weather is approaching, and
what shall be done for the sick fathers, poor
widows and destitute children in our midst ?
Must they suffer for fire.wood, for cloth
ing and for food? Who will not throw in
his mite to assist the needy? Almost every
man in business can do a little and that little
will be quite acceptable to the cold and fam
ishing. Visit your neighbors and see what
their condition is. There is many a family
that will suffer the coming winter, that you
little suspect. Business has been dull and
nothing is put aside for winters use. In
quire into the circumstances of all your
%neighbors and permit none of them TO suffer.
If you cannot spare a little money, perhaps
you have old clothing in the house, of which
you make no manner Of use, and wm"h per-
haps is fas, decaying. This will be of essen
tial service in family of children. With a
trlhing expense, a pair Of pantaloons, or a
jacket, or vest, may be made from the old
clothing that will keep a poor child comfort
able all winter. There is much you waste in
your families, that might be of much service
to your neighbors. Look up every thing
you can spare. Have your children on,
grown their shoes or boots? Don't let them
mould and rot, but hand them to the poor
widow, for one of her children. Gladly will
she accept them and give you a thousand
thanks.
There are many rich men, besides veal
thy old bachelors. who have no children OF
their own, who can support a dozen boys and
not feel it. 1t is your duty to do it. We
have often thought that old bachelors were
created 10 become fathers to those children
who are left orphans in the world, and we
iect into consideration and do all in their
power for the destitute. If you take under
your care a dozen children, we are certain
you will feel better contented and a thousand
times more happy. You would feel that yo'
had something to live for-somelhing to car.
for-and studying their pleasure, would en-
Joy more, we will be bound TO say, than yo,
ever yet have enjoyed.
To one and all we say, remember thu
poor. Add to their comforts by unstringin,

and if you or your wives and children be
come distressed God will see they arc we
provided for.

THE HOMES OF ENGLAND.

ny JOHN HOWARD DuRoIS.
1.-THE merry homes Of England!
Around their hearths by night,
What gladsom looks of household love
Meet in the ruddy light!
There woman's voice flows forth in song,
Or childhood's tale is told,
Or lips move t~unefully along
Some glorious page Of old."-Mrs HEMASs
The cherries homes Of England!
Around their hearths at night,
What hapless looks of want and wo
Meet in the eJnbers' light!
There mothers wall and fathers sigh,
And heart-wrung tears are shed,
And famish'd children join their cry,
The p~!aintive cry for bread!
"The merry homes of England !"
Az, sing them as her fame
That's past and dead,-her 1cretched homes
Are now hor Hring chamn:-
The pamper'd hound and petted steed,
With choicest food are fed,
While thousands of her children need,
And weep for lack of bread!
The mirthiess homes of England!
Where Want and Misty reign:-
If such the children's heritage,
The fathers fought in vain!
Oh, righteous God! how long, how long,
Shall earth her riches spread
For ALL-and yet the FEW and STRONG,
Rob MILLIONS Of their bread?
1.-THE merry homes of England"
Ay, tue, some such are there
Whose very dogs would spurn the food
Which makes the poor mans fare:-
There Rank abides fright merry homes
Where Wealth and Power are We'd
But see! behold yon living tombs,
Where Hunger begs for bread!
oh, mighty name of England!
The synonyme of power!
What boots thy " glorious page Of old"
While ,ednfS thy children's dover?
That glorious page"!-oh, boast il not,
Nor name thy noble dead
But boast of hiS-if boast of aught-
Thy children cru for hr.udi

For never will they strike in rain, -.

From "The Rover"
STORY OF AN IDIOT.

A long time ago there was poor idiot
who, being quite harmless, was permitted
10 wander whittier he would, and receive
charity at every house in his regular
rounds. His name was Ned of The Tod
den. He lived with his mother, and there
was no other in the family; it is remark
able that idiots are always particularly
beloved by their mothers, doubtless because
they always continue in state as helpless
and dependent as ia Infancy. This poor
fellow, in return was equally fond of his
mother; his love towards her was the only
feeling which he was capable of, and that
feeling was proporlio1AR strong. The
mother fell sick and of death, poor
wretch, he knew nolliK9yg and it was in
vain to hope 10 make him comprehend it.
He would not suffer them to bury her,
and they were obliged to put her in
coffin unknown to him, and carry her to
the grave, when as they Imagined, he had
been deceived away to a distance. Ned
OF the Todden, however, suspected that
something was designed, watched them
secretly and as soon as it was dark, opened
the grave, took out the body and carried
it home. Some OF the nei2 compass
sionately went into the cottage to look
after him, they found the dead body seated
in its own place in the chimney corner, a
large fire blazing which he had made to
warm her, and the idiot son with large
dish of pap, Offering to feed her. 'Ea,,
mother he was saying, you used TO like
il? Presently wondering at the silence,
he looked at the face of the corpse, tool;
the dead hand to feel it, and said, why
dye look SO pale, mother! why be you
so cold I?
