A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

A great many events occur in a hun
lred years. Within that time America ha S
leaped forth into the astonishing power it !
is. One hundred years ago-says an OK
change-thcre was not IL single white man
in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois
Territories. Then what is now the most
flourislling part of America, was as little
known as the country around the noun
tans Of the moon. 1t was not until l7G9
that the "IIuntcrs Of Kentucky" the gal
liant and adventurous Boone, left his home
in North Carolina to become the first set
tier in kentucky. The first pioneer i'll
Ohio did not settle until twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and the whole popula-
ton Of the United States did not exceed u
million and half Of people. a hundred
years ago the great Frederick of Prussia
was performing those great exploits which
have made him immortal in military an
nails, and with his little monarchy was sus-
tanning a singlu-handed contest with Rus
sia, Austria and France-the three great
powers of Europe combined. A hundred
years ago Napoleon was not born, and
Washington was young and modest Nir
, ginia colonel, and the great events in the
G history Of the two worlds, in which these
9 two great but dissimilar men took leading
= parts were then scarcely foresbadowed. a

Hoes VERSUS Doos.-"What a dog
lives upon will keep hog" If anybody
doubts the truth of the saying, let him kill
his useless dog, and put pig in the pen
and give him the dogs allowance. He
will find in few months that he has fine,
fat porker, fit to be eaten-a use the dog
could not be possibly applied to by any
Christian man. There are too many. II
they had all been killed year ago, there
might be 200 lbs. Of good fat pork in the
country, to balance against every dog so sci
aside, which would be no iuconsiderable
item in the present scarcity of supplies
Dogs are nuisance, and should be taxed
While every farmer keeps bis dog, ant
every free negro has two or three dogs
sheep stand poor chance to get along
through the world, and yield their annua

WE EAT TOO MUCH.

The late Sydney Smith, divine ms emf
ncnt for wit as piety, once wrote to a friend
that he had made HI estimate OF the food
he had eaten during the first thirty years
Of his life, and found that he had i'll that
period unnecessarily called Oh his patient
stomach to digest meat and vegetables
enough to fill twenty yseven' Wagons, at
cost of about twenty five thousand dollars.
lie added, with words Of regret, that, had
he been more abstenious at the table, he
would be worth in hard cash so many more
dollars than he was, and that by over-fecd-
ing he had been guilty of double injury
! firstly to himself, and secondly to society
! for, had he eaten less, he would have en-
loved better health, and others would have
that to sustain aul nourish them which he
had wantonly wasted.
sydney Smith is not the only person who
has had reason to accuse himself OF excess
Mt the table. The fact is, we all cat more
than our stonacrs can well digest; and for
it we arc duly punished, sooner or later.
When tue stomach is imposed on, 1t sooner
. or later rebels, aud disease is the conse-
uuence-diseaso in its most dsagrecablc
form, dyspepsia.
Could we restrain our appetites-couIl
wo teach ourselves the important lesson that
it is better to cat to live than live to eat
how much better off we all would be
Could we rise from tho table with the in
, clinatiou 10 eat little more, instead o
gormandizing to the full, the general healtf
, would be a thousand times better than it is
and soon would we ril our bodies Of dis
, eases which now seem to be almost natnra
, to us.
People complain Of the "hardness Of tli'
= times the "Jcarness Of food" the "doclol
p bills" and Of Sickness" and yet they pos
,r sess the means within themselves Of rcmov
ing all these standing complaints Ivy cxe'

How THEY MAKE COFFEE IN FRANCE.
A cup Of French coffee seems to have the
effect to put Americans in to ecstacies; yet
few Of them are thoughtful enough to Oh
tain from the French brethren the process
by which the delicious beverage is decocted.
Of this few is Buckeye writing from
Paris, under date Of Nov 8, who supplies
the desired information:
"While at Mr.. Moriols, his good lady
kindly Initiated me into the art Of coffee
making In the first place, it is scorched
in hollow cylinder, which is kept con-
stan,ly revolving over slow fire, and not a
grain Of it allowed to burn. Secondly, it is
ground very fine; and thirdly, when it is
to be used, a portion Of this placed in a
finely perforated pan or cup, which exactly
fits into the top of the boiler, coffee pot, ol
any vessel you wish to use, Boiling ho
water is then poured on, and it percolatc'
; gradually through, carrying with it all th'
e essential principles of the coffee. As soor
i as percolaion is completed, the pan is re
j moved containing all the grounds, and lhel
= boiling hot milk is added to the infusion
d and your coffee is made. 1t is brought o
IS the table in bowls. with a knife and spoor
n and little willow basket Of bread. Th
'r servant then places by your plate tea disl
l. on which are two or three Jumps Of whit
,r euoar .alwave of q corfain size and VO
sweeten to your liking. In no instance
re your coffee boided. and this is one reaso
n the cafe au lait and cafe noir are so muc
lie admired by those who take them. 1fye
IN try this mode, am sure, in few expcl
'e ,nents you will succeed in getting it rigf
ss, and possess yourself Of luxury which W
ly add very much to a breakfast on CO
SO morning. Try it."

The LADY OF THE kITCHEN.-The papers
are making light of the demands made by ie-
male servant girls upon the mistresses OF
the house. 1t is, however, q serious subject.
An Irish girl complained not long since to
the head Of one of the "frst families OF
Hartford, because the smooth floor of kitch-
en- had been painted and was destitute Of
carpet. The head Of the first family" made
bold to say that the maid of Erin was rather
particular for female who had, in the old
country, never trodden other than natures
carpet under the thatch of her fathers hovel,
and ending his remarks by showing her the
position and describing the uses OF the door
leading upon the street. Another outrage
upon the finer feelings Of this class OF in
dividuals is committed by the New Haven
Palladium, in the publication of the following
advertisement.
"WANTED TO HIRE.-A lady, having
pleasant home, no membranes but hns-
band and child, wishes to place herself at
the disposal of some servant who can come

She would prefer one who would be willing
to remain within doors at least five minutes
after the work is finished. She would also
stipulate for the privilege Of going to church
herself once each Sunday, having been COM
PEELED to refuse the last applicant, who was
not willing to allow her but half day

"She is deeply conscious Of the utter in
ability of ladies in general to comply with
