MAKING CoFFEE.-Coffee, as very COM
monty prepared. by persons unacquainted
with its nature, is a decoction, and is boiled
for some time, under m istaken notion that
the strength is not extracted unless 1t be
boiled. But the fact is just the reverse =
The fine aromatic oil VIII ich produces the
flavor and strength Of the coffee, is dispelled
and lost by boiling. and a muciage is ex-
tracted at the sam 9 time. which also tends
to make it fat and weak. The best modes
are. to pou- boiling water through the COT
fee in a piggn or strainer, which is found
to extract nearly all the strength; Or, to pour
boiling water upon it, aud set it on the fire,
not to exceed ten minutes. The Turks
and Arabs boil the coffee, it is true. but they
boil each cup by itself, and only for mo-
meDt so that the effect is, in fact, much the
same as that of infusion, and not like that
of decoction. They do not separate the
coffee itself from the infusion, but leave the
whole in the cup. 10

our debts, and get ready that you may pay;
trust US, we are in need, and have regard for
our needs; as you have been long trusted,
acknowledge your Indebtedness and dive in
to your pockets, that you m ay promptly fork
over. If there be any among you-one sim
gle patron-that don't owe us something,
then to him we say step aside; consider
yourself gentleman. If the rest wish to
know why we dun them, this is our answer:
not that we care about ourselves but our
creditors do. Would you rather that we
went to Jail, and you go free, than you pay
YOUR debts to keep US moving? As we
agreed, we have worked for you; as we con-
tracted, we have furnished our paper to you
but as you don't pay, we dun you. Here
are agreements, job work, contracts for sub
scriptiop, promises for long credit and duns
for deferred payment. Who is there so
green that he don't take a paper? If any,
he need not speak, we don't mean him.
Who is there so green that he don't adver-
tise? If any, let him stand aside; he amt
the chap neither. Who is there 30 mean
that he don't pay the printer? If any, let

His name is legion, and he's owing US for

EEEMIEs.-Go straight on and don't mind
them; if they get in your way, walk around
them, regardless of their spite. A man who
has no enemies is seldom good for anything;
he is made of that kind of material which is
so easily worked that every one has hand
in it. a sterling character is one who thinks
for himself, and speaks what he thinks; he
is always sure to have enemies. They are
as necessary to him as fresh air. They keep
him alive and active. A celebrated cbarac-
ter, who was surrounded by enemies, used
to remark: KID n ~
They are sparks which, if you do not
blow, will go out by themselves Live
down preju dice' was the Iron Dukes mot
10. Let this be your feeling while endeav-
oEing to live down the scandal of those who
are bitter against you. II you stop to dis
pute, you do but as they desire, and open
the way for more abuse. Let the poor fell
low talk. Their will be a reaction if you
perform but your duty, and hundreds who
were once aleuated from you will flock to
you and acknowledge their error.

What Douglas would have Done.

Senator Douglas. in his speech at SPRING
field, Illinois, in 1861, thus gave his opinion
OF such an emancipation proclamation as
that just issued by Lincoln. He said:
i will never sanction nor acquiesce in
any warfare. whatever upon the Constitu-
tional rights or dome institutions Of the
people of the Southern States. IApplause I
On the contrary, ifthere was an attempt to
invade those rights. to stir up serUile insur-
rection among their people, l wovld rush to
their rescue. and interfere, with whatever
of strength 1 might posses, to defend them
from such a calamity
The great efficacy of the proclamation, it
is claimed, is to stir up servile insurrectiors
among the people Of the South and thereby
withdraw the soldiers from the army to pro-
tect their home s from the torch of the incen-
diary, and their mothers, wives and children
from brutality aud death. In the event Of
such an attempt, Mr.. Douglas said he would
rush to the rescue of the people of the South
and interfere with whatever Of strength he
might possess, to defend them from such a
calamity.-IerraR aute Weekly Journal
