TO Make GOOD C~oFFEE.-First procure the
best coffee in the market; wash it very clean,
and toast it the color of 4 golden brown, hut not
a deeper shade by any means. Then take the
whites of three eggs to each pound of coffee,
mix very carefully with the coffee while it is
warm, and Immediately transfer to carthen YES
sells, tying them over with bladders to render
them air-tight. Take from these vessels suf1i-
cient coffee for one making only at a time;
grind it: place it in a fine muslin bag; suspend
it about midway the pot; turn on the boiling
water; put on the cover to prevent the escape
of steam. By this mode the coffee will be
very strong, but It's best to reduce it by addition
of boiling hot milk, when it will from a most
delicious, as we'll as nutritious 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 coffee may be obtained, it is only neces-
sary to take the dregs left in the bag, and boil
them in water for a considerable time; the result
will be a black, bitter, nauseous, ~feverish, woody
extract. without a trace of the fine flavor of
coffee, and answered to the name by which it
was known on its first introduction into use, ac-
cording to the account published in the eighth
volume of the "Harleian Miscellany" namely,
"the devils black BROTH" The making of tea
is by infusion, not decoctson. WIZ ever thinks
Of boiling tea?

Rating OF LETTER PosTAGE.-The Post

TATIaG OF LETTER PosTAGE.-The Post
Office Department in some Instructions ad-
Gre,&~d 10 the Postmaster at Wheeling, has
defined strictly the rule for charging postage
upon lei rs, which has been differently con-
strued in some of the Offices. 1t says: "'The
law adopts a rule for this country uniform with
the one that prevails in Great Britain and Ger
many, towit: To count the half ounce in rating
postage, that is, when the letter does not ex-
coed the weight Of half an ounce. When the
letter exceeds the weight Of half an ounce, it is
required to be rated by the ounce. For instanc
if weighing less than an ounce, but more than
halfa an ounce, it is to be charged with two rates
of postage; if weighing over an ounce, but less
than two ounces, with four rates postage; no
matter how little the excess, it is to be charged
as fit weighed two ounces, if over two ounces
but less than three, six rates Of postage, and SO
on. This law is general, embracing inland as
we'll as foreign letters"

Tin consequence of the infamous exac-
tons levied by Schlick, the Austrian General,
on the Jews of Arad, the Christian inhabitants
came out with a declaration in which they sta
ted they had always found the Jews good neigh
bors, and offered to bear their share of these
exactions. 1t is stated that the Jews were so
much moved by this proof of the Christians
sympathy and esteem, that they unanimously
resolved to become coverts to christianity, and
were accordingly baptized. The occurrence is
given in the German papers, and i%fllterally true,
is powerful evidence, that a good act done in
the spirit of brotherly love, is the most couvin-
eng ofall arguments. If men generally would
only adopt the logic of kind acts and disinter-
ested sympathy, instead of barren words and
bitter recriminations, there would be an end to
the strivings of creeds, and the harmony Of ra-
tional life be secured. It was by the benevo-
lence of his life that Christ evidenced the divine
character of his mission. "He went about, con-
tinually doing good"

STARTING IN THE WoRLD.-Many an IN
wise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all
his life for the purpose Of leaving enough to
give his children start in the world, as it is
called. Setting ayoung man ahoat witt, money
left him b. his relatives is like tying bladders
under the arm of one who cannot swim; ten
chances to one he will lose his bladders and go
to the bottom. Teach him to swim, and he will
never need the bladder. Give your child a
sound education, and you have done enough for
him. See to it that his morals are pure, his
manners perfect, his mind cultivated, and his
whole nature made subservient to laws which
govern man, and you have given what will be of
more value than the wealth of the Indies. You
have given him a start which no misfortune can
deprive him of. The caller yout teach him to
depend upon his own resources the better.

has explored those regions himself, and whose
father made several important discoveries in

account of the different discoveries made in
those parts, and then entered into the more i'm

THE L1TTLENEss OF THE EARTH.-The UNI
verse at large would suffer as little in its splen-
der and variety by the destruction of our planet,
as the magnificence of a forest would suffer by
the fall ola single leaf. The leaf on the
branch which supports it. tiles at the mercy
Of slightest accident. A breath Of wind and
from the stem, it lights on the stream of water
that passes underneath. In a moment of time,
the life which we know by the microscope it
teens with, is extinguished; and an occurrence
so insignificant in the eye Of man, and in the
scale OF his observation, carries into the myriads
which people this leaf, an event as terrible and
decisive as the destruction of the world. Now,
in the grand scale of the universe, we, the oc-
cupiers of this ball, which performs its little re-
volutions among the suns and systems which
astronomy has unfoldcd-we feel the same
littleness and the same insecurity. We differ
from the leaf only in this circumstance, that it
would require the operation of greater elements
to destroy disclaimers.

PoRPolsEs \ ALL1eA1oRs.-Lyell, in his
Second Visit to the United States" relates the
following:
Mr.. Cooper told me that in the summer of
l845 he saw ashoal Of porpoises coming up
to that part Of the river Altamaha where the
fresh and salt water meets-a space of about a
mile in length-the favorite fishing ground of
the alligators, where there is brackish water,
which shifts its place ae cording to the varying
strength of the river and the tide. Here were
seen about fifty alligators, each with his head
and neck raised above water, looking down the
stream at their enemies, before whom they had
fed, terror-stricken, and expecting an attack
The porpoises, no more than a dozen in num-
Der, moved in two ranks, and were evidently
complete masters of the field. So powerful,
indeed are they, that they have been known to
chase a large alligator to the bank, and putting
their shouts under his belly, toss him ashore.

INTERESTING FACT IN GRAFTING.-Du
Hamel, the celebrated French pomologist and
horticulturist, ingrafted a young lemon, of the
size of a pea, upon the branch of al orange
tree: 1t grew there, ripened, and had all the
qualities of the lemon, without partaking of
any Of the properties of the orange. 1t is
evident, in this instance, that the stalk of the
lemon enpged the color, taste, and smell of the
juices or The orange tree. And from this ex-
pertinent, we have reason to conclude, that all
the different figures, %colors, and smells, which
we find in different plants, are formed in the
plants themselves.

PEEL1NG AND BOILING P~orAToEs.--A loss,
of the most nutritious portion of the potato is
incurred by peeling off the rind and parts d.
rectiy underneath, as in these the nitrogenized
matters, but no starch, chiefly reside, which are
dissolved by cold water and coagulated by wa
ter while boiling. If potatoes, therefore, arc
thrown into cold water, and gradually heated,
much of their nitrogenized principles will be-
extracted before the water reaches the point
of ebullition; wheareas, if it be made to boil be-
fore they are introduced, the coagulation will
cause these matters to be retained within the
tissue Of the vegetables lying contiguous to the
rind.

SENTENCE OF THE AsToR HOUSE RIorERs.-
The Telegraph has already announced the
conviction of E.. Z C. Judson (Ned Buntline)
and his associates in the Aston Opera House
riots. The New York papers of the 29th ult.
contain the particulars. On the 28th, after "a
very eloquent and powerful address to the Jury
on the part of the prosecution" by Mr.. McKeon,
Judge DAILY delivered an elaborate charge to
the jury. The Jury, after being out two hours.
rendered a verdict of "guilty' against all the
prisoners. The following were the sentences:
Bennett, 80 days city prison; Matthews, do;
O'Neil, do; Douglas, DO; Hosack, recognizances
forfeited; Judson, one year in the Penitentiary
and $3.50 fine, being the full extent of the
penalty of The law. The Mirror says:
Prior to the passing Of the sentences, the
prisoners were asked if they had anything to
say. Whereupou L. C. Judson came forward
and commenced n speech, in which he was about
to speak, he said, for he "poor boys" whose
leader he had been called. The Court told
him ne could speak only for himself. He then
went on 10 say that he had been tried by a
prejudiced jury and a prejudiced court. He
sid he knew of one man on the jury who had
said the prisoners deserved to be hanged, be-
fore he went into the jury box. Judson made
many and great protestations of his good char
a,ter, which he said he could prove. But he
ayEed for no favors, he said; he was at the
Courts service, etc, etc.
Judge DAILY, in proneuncing sentence on him,
was exceedingly earnest in his remarks; going
over the whole case as proved against him, and
expressing a perfect concurrence in the justice
of the verdict. He searchingly reviewed the
course taken by Judson on the night Of the
riot, and, in closing, remarked that he never,
since he held the office of a minister of Justice,
had felt his own weakness to the extent he did,
when, in pronouncing upon the prisoner the full
extent OF the legal punishment, he found him.
sell obllged TO pronounce so mild a punishment
for SO great aerime. The prisoners were then
consigned to the custody of the officers.

READING.-It.wil be found by observation
that people who are fond of reading, whe have
