The War.
BY ALFRED TENNYSoN.

There is sound of thunder afar,
Storms of the South that darkens the day
Storm Of battle and thunder of war,
Well, if it do not roll our way
Storm storm! Rihemen form!
Ready, be ready to meet the storm!
Rihemen, Rihemen, Riaemen form
Be not deaf to the sound that warns
Be not guild bya despot's plea
Are figs o, thistles, or grapes Of thorns?
How should despot set men free?
Form! forml Ritlemeu form!
Ready, be ready to meet the storm!
Rifenen! Rihemenl Riilemen form!
Let your Reforms for a moment 90,
Look to your butts and take good aims
Better rotten borough or so,
Than rotten feet or city in flames!
Forml form Rife nen form!
Ready, be ready to meet the storm!
Riflemen! Riflemen! Rihemen form?
Form, be ready to do or die!
Form in Freedoms name and the Queens!
True, that we have faithful ally,
But only the Devil knows what he meansl
Forml form! Rifemen form!
Ready, be re Idly to meet the storm!
RiReman! Riflemen! Rifemen form!

To Make Good Coffee.

1t is not easy to find person who does
not like dish oc good coffee; and yet more
than two-thirds of that drank daily is exc
cradle stuff. Some unknown friend has IA
vored us with some notes on coffee and cof-
fee-making from which we extract the sub
joined, hoping our readers will be benefited
thereby.
The roasting of coffee is an operation of
considerable nicely; more, perhaps, depend
ing upon it than upon the variety of the az
ticle itself Coffee is roasted by the dealers,
in hollow iron cylinders or globes, which are
kept revolving over fire. AS the first eff
feet is the evaporation of considerable
amount of water, if the vessel is closed, this
is retained, and the coffee roasted in an at
mosphere of its own steam. This is not
thought to be the best plan; and if the ope-
ration be carried on at home it is recon-
mended that the coffee be first dried in an
open pan, over gentle fire, until it becomes
yellow. 1t should then be scorched in
covered vessel, to prevent the escape of the
aroma; taking care, by proper agitation, to
prevent any portion from being burnt; as
few charred grains communicate bad odor
to the rest. 1t is important that Just The
right temperature should be attained, and
kept. If the heat be too low, the aromatic
favor is not produced; and if it be too high,
the rich oily matter is dissipated, leaving on
ly the bitterness and astringency of the
charred seeds. The operation should be
continued until the coffee is sufficiently
strong. 1t may then be taken from the fire,
and allowed to cool without exposure to the
air that the aromatic vaporm condense and
be retained by the roasted grains. Coffee is
very apt to be over-roasted, and even like
excess of heat greatly Injuries its properties.
To prepare the coffee, it should be roasted
and ground just before using, no more being
ground than is wanted Immediately. OF
course, the finer it is reduced the stronger
will be the extract from given weight of
cofee-one-fourih more soluble matter being
obtained from coffee ground to the fneness
Of flower than from the ordinary coarse pow
der. If cup of good coffee be placed upon
table, boiling hot, it will fill the room with
its fragrance. Its most valuable properties
are thus liable to be exhaled and lost Hence
the same difficulty is encountered as in tea
making: boiling dissipates the much priced
aroma, but high heat is necessary to ex-
tract the other important ingredients of the
coffee 1t should therefore be STEPPED rather
than boiled-an infusion, and not decoc-
ton being made. Some make it rule not
to suffer the coffee to boil, but only to bring
itjust to the boiling point. Yet few min
utes boiling undoubtedly increases the guam
tity of the dissolved, bitter, exhillirating
principles.

ANECDoTE OF MDoNALD CLARKE, THE MAD
PoEr.-Everybody remembers MDonald
Clark who was well known in New York, a
few years since, as the MAD Poet" During
the last years of his life, Clark was made free
of the Astor House table, and oftentmes this
Grant man of genius could be seen accepting
its Inequalities, when other doors were
closed on his fallen fortunes. Every one knew
Clark by sight; and one day, while quietly
taking his dinner, two travellers, seating
themselves opposite, commenced a CONVEX
sation intended for the ears of Clarke. One
said:
"Well have been in New York two
months, and have seen all wish to see with
enc exception"
"Ahr' said the other, what is that?"
"M'Donald Clarke, the great post" res
ponded No l, with strong emphasis.
Clarke raised his eyes slowly from his plate
and seeing the attention Of the table was on
him, stood up, placing his hand over his
heart, and bowling with great gravity to the
strangers, said:
II am M'Donald Clark, the gr at poet"
The Traveller started in mock surprise,
gazed at him in silence for a few moments
and then amidst an audible liter OF the com
pany, drew from his pocket quarter dollar,
and laying it before Clark, still looked at him
without a smile. Clark raised the quarter
in silence and dignity, bestowed it in mis-
pocket, and thence a shilling which he depos
tied before the traveller with these words:
"Children, half price,
The litter changed to roar, and the tray
ellers were missing instanter.
