Mrs. Saw was busiIy engaged preparing the
evening repast, while the old gentleman was
exolling the virtues Of "Rye Coffee" 10 his
neghbor, Samuel Awl.
"Darn your. rye slop.' exclaimed the latter,
"give me- the real genuine stuff. / am derr-
mined to have it so long as money will buy it,"
"Well, every one tu his liking" replied our
our old friend. "If you prefer and caa at
ford Rio, Isay use it,"
By this time supper was announced, and
feeling something OF an appetite, We gladly
accepted ,he invitation extended TO US. Not
so neighbor Awl. "rhank you, had my sup
per-" said he. Cant you manage few cups
of coffee! know you are fond oi it, hence
YOU may as well sit by. A few cups on top of
your supper won't hurt you."-Nrighbor Awl,
who by the way is great lover OF that arti-
Gle, could no longer resist the kind invitation
of Mrs. Saw. So, occupying the profrred seat I,
he soon dispatched the contents OF his cup. Il
was replenished second time. Saw gave us
a knowing wink. We understood him. When
Awl suffered his cup to be filed thifd time,
Saw could hardly keep from laughing. ''Won't
y tou take anothe! cup, neighbor Aw!" Inquired
Mrs. Saw. sWell, don't care if do--bere
is hota woman in our parts that can make a
better cup of coffee than you do.'-"rhank you
for the compimeui," REFINED the lady. The
cup, the 4th in succession, was again filled and
Mr.. Saw could preserve his gravity 40 longer
and we, for obvious reasons, could not bot j9in
his laugh.
Awl was puzzled-he did not know what 10
make oft.
81 thought you didn't like rye sIop?" inqoir-
ed Saw.
"You don't mean to say"
"Fhat you have drunk rye Coffee" interrupt
ed our old friend
"Was it? Well, 10 BE- honest, | must say it
was very good. Upon my soul It was excel
lent" exclaimed Awl.
"Didnt tell you that there wasn't much
differ eace between the two! Indeed all the dlf-
ference | can perceive is, that the one is Rye,
while The other is Rio" hnmorous'y respon-
ded our worthy friend,
Now although Mr.. Avis prejudice was by
this time somewhat overcome, he still cnnend-
ed that, having 10 live but once, he might as
well feast upon !he bps. in the market and as
in this case The saving would not amount to
much-only few pennies per pound, why
not use Rio?
Qu9th Saw: "It is true the saving on sin
Gle pound amounts 10 but a triap, yet it is the
aggregate amount of needless expenditures
which We must take into consideration, to ar
rive at proper estimate. Did you ever
make calculation as 10 the extent your means
would be taxed if you should continue TO live as
you did in the palmy days OF Democratic rule,
when peace and prosperity relgned throughout
our land?"
81 have never bothered my head mach about
such maters," replied Awl
| ''lt you didn't did ard can show YOU my
accounts il you wish 10 see them"
"Go ahead" responded our friend of The
'slast."
| At this jnnctuie Mr.. Saw retired to his desk
took out paper and sundry account book and
proceeded. BY reference to my accounts, l

CBTTUARY.

Very early in the morning of the 2lst Of
jan, in the 18th year OF his age, departed this
life, after brief illness, Nicholas Lyons, who,
for forty years, wasa most esteemed citizen
and merchant of Bedford, Pa. He was born in
LeghIin Bridge, County Carlow, Ireloud He
emigrated, thence, 10 the United States, on the
9th of June 1879, soon after our war with
Great Britain had commenced He was
true IrlshmaG, as we'll, as true pembpr OF
his Church (he Roman Catholic). He was
foremost in every undertaking for the interests
of religion and Of his adopted country. He
proved himself true patriot, BY giving up, in
his old aye, beloved son, to head military
Company from this place, in defence of our
glorious Union. He was eve- conspicuous Tor
his integrity for honor and honesty and,
in every way, worthy of the distinguished race
from which he sprung aud which is so honored
in his native County of Carlow, Ireland. There
were al his obsequies and interment four Cath
o]ic Priests and the Rev. Ministers of other
denominations, with vast coucourse of SYM
pathsing friends, fellow citizens from the town
Of Bedford and the country all around.-He
leaves beloved wife, daughter and two sons
to bewail his sudden exit from them.

LET Them he HODOred!

The heroes of Fort Donelson will live fbrev-
er in history as the braves of the brave. The
names Of A. Fl. FoorE and ULYSSES 5. GRANT
are Justly immortal. But, perhaps, the noblest
and most selfsacrifcing patriots Of them all are
the tvo members oe Congress from Illinois,
who voluntarily exchanged their snug places at
Washington for The rigors of camp-life and The
dangers Of the battle field. Gen. JOHN A. Nc
CLERNAND. one OF .he Generals in command
during the attack upon Fort Donelson, was the
representative from the Springfield I:ncoln's)
district, and resigned his seat to accept briga-
dier generalship. Cot. JOHN A. LOGAN, wound
ed during the same aHack, represents The sE-
gypt" district of Illinois in Congress, and lett
his seat but few days ago to resume the COM
mand Of his regiment. Both McCkrrand and
Logan are firm Democrats, and whilst they
stand ready TO shed their blood for the Union,
The Republican delegation from Illinois, with
Lovejoy at the head, do their fighting in the
war OF words at Washington, and perform gal
laht deeds in silk stockings and white kid gloves
at the rechevches balls Of her ladyship, Mrs.
Lincoln. Such is the contrast between the men
who are branded as secessionists and The men
who first helped TO bring about secession, aud
now are TOO cowardly to help put it down. The

CHANCE TO WoRK FOR THE LADIES'
The Worcester Soldiers Relief Committee
have been furnished by the liberality of a GEN
tleman of this city, with Il quantity of cloth
to be made into shirts for the soldiers. The
committee will be very glad, if individuals
who are willing to work for the soldiers, will
take one or more Of them to make. Any
person willing to assist in making these shirts
will find them ready cut at their rooms 100

The committee have also frequent calls for
bags and sewing materials, and as they have
no supply on hand they are induced to call
upon the children of the city, whose patriot
ism so generously supplied them in the au-
tumn, to again supply them, and spend little
OF the leisure of their vacation in MAKING
bags, needle-books, and pin-cushions, for the

OF any willing to aid in this way, that bags a
