ter, more durable more reliable, capable Of doing
much greater variety Of work, and earning more

Whatever else Henry Ward Beecher
may have to answer for, and doubtless he
is loaded with as many sins as any one
ought to carry, he certainly deserves
credit for writing so sensibly about Cof-
fee, as he does in the following, which
we find going the rounds of the papers {:
Breakfast is ready. A most useful and
salutary custom is that breakfast. One
may work with the hand without break
fast but not with the head-the machine
must be wound up. The blue must be
taken out Of your spirits, and the gray
out Of your eyes. A cup of coffee-real

no coffee can be good in the mouth, that
does not first send sweet offering of D.

The Baltimore Patriot touches up the
American propensity in the following
style:

of this unfortunate bird. For now more
than half century he has been incessant-
ly persecutedb by village orators, lecturers,
performers at junior exhibitions, and by
politicians. in (and out off Congress-
Travellers who have visited Switzerland

canton the eagle is the heraldic emblem)

in cage, but which visitors are not al
lowed to worry. We, who have also
chosen him to represent our boast of
heraldry and pomp of power" treat him,
or allow him to be treated in different
manner. He is compelled to do all man
ner of things which no bird-eyen an ca
gle-never did before. Heis set up " on
the top of the snowy Sierra" and "on
the inaccessible peaks of the Rocky
Mountains and thence made to descry
the distant shores lashed by the Atlantic
surges or laved by the placid swell of the
Pacific" With "his head in the North
and his tail in the South" he is made to
/" flap his broad wings over free and en-
lightened nation" 1t is unusual, how
ever, for his tormentors to begin their
worryings so early in the season as has
been done this year. Ordinarily it is the
custom (although there is no game law on
the subject) to delay these shots until the
Fourth of July. when the big gun OF the
village is brought out and let off at him
in an oratiOn.
