Celebrated Coffee Roasters

THIS is n little invention that every woman
requires, as an article Of economy and
convenience. The coffee roasted in this ma
chine is not only better and far healthier, but
much stronger, as the aroma is retained and
not destroyed in the roasting. 1t therefore re-
quires less coffee.
One pound Of coffee can be roasted in from
ten to twelve minutes, and two pounds In
twenty minutes. II is so constructed, that the
coffee is kept constantly in motion, and expos
ed TO the same degree Of heat; consequently,
ali the grains are roasted alike, and have ex-
actly the same havor-no foreign favor being
acquired from over-roasting, or not roasting
enough. glass window is prepared at the
end Of the cylinder, so that the coffee may be
inspected lust as much rs If il was in an open
vessel obviating the danger Of roasting too
much, and the aroma passing oil, which would
necessarily occur did the machine have TO be
opened whenever you wished to inspect the
coffee II will. beyond all doubt, make bet

where all is filth and rottenuess and he

thin sheet to cover him, and so pale, wan

lie in it"
"But, papa, the veriest sinner in the
world would gain your pity did he suffer
as now does your only son. And then
his wife, so careworn, yet SO sanity, and
his two sweet babes"
"Hearken to me, Mary" exclaimed
Mr.. Somers, in a vehement tone; "if
you stop not this instant, further plead

grew husky here, infatuated boy, that
unflial son, that rebel to home; if you
ever speak again of him to me or any
other friend, I'll cut you off with but one
shilling. / will, aye, by all the saints

touched her pale forehead with his lips,
and gazing a moment in her dark, blue
eyes, brimful of tears, turned abruptly
from her, put on his overcoat, gloves and
hat, took up bis golden-headed cane and
walked away.
1t was a bright, beautiful winters
morning. A light snow had fallen the
night before, and now every dingy roof
sparkled like marble terrace. while the
streets and by-ways seemed lined with
swans down, so feathery were the pure
drifting fakes that had whitened their
dark pathways. 1t was yet early, and
but few were abroad Mr.. Somer's foot
step was the first that imprinted itself on
the yielding snow, and childlike. he
pleased himself with marking how straight
was the path he made, and how regular
the fall of his foot. But the long avenue

cultivated and displayed. Civility costs
