was set by an Indian, and it was three years
in going through the press. 1t was the first
edition of the Bible ever published in Ame-

mother of Sisera looked out at window and
cried through the lattice Elliot asked the
Indians for the word "lattice," and found,
when his translation was completed, that he
had written 'and cried through the eel-pot."

knew as corresponding with the object which

depict the suffering Of mind which l endured,
Whilst my bodily iniirmities made me burthen

excited or alarmed, the love of solitude, the want
of appetite and weakness generally, but partcu-
lary of my limbs, have all disappeared, as have
the nocturnal emissions, and the remains of an
old disease that my folly brought on me. For all
tins feel truly thankful, for to your medicines
and advice am indebted for the restoration of my
health. If you think any one would be benefited
by putting this letter in the papers, you are at

How to get the Real Flavor of Coffee.

In Kingdoms Forest Life in Ceylon" are
the following hints on the preparation of
coffee, derived from long experience:
The subtle aroma which resides in the es-
sental oil Of tie coffee berry, is gradually
dissipated after roasting and of course still
more after being ground. In order to enjoy
the full flavor in perfection, the berry should
pass at once from the roasting pan to the
mill, and thence to the coffee pot; and again,
after having been made, should be mixed at
a boiling heat with the hot milk. 1t must
be bad coffee indeed, which, if these precau-
tons be taken, will not afford an agreeable
and exherating drink. Two great evils are
constantly perpetrated in England, in its pre-
paration, which are more guarded against in
almost all other countries, and which mate
rally impairs its flavor and strength-keep-
ing the coffee considerable time after roast
ing or grinding, by which its strength is con-
siderably diminished, and mixing the milk
with it after it has been allowed partially to
cool.
