AMERICAN BREAKFAST.

The RolUd IoNe has several capital
articles. but none better than the one
on Breakfast and Breakfastug which
reads MS if it might be from the pen of
Joseph Barber of which the follow
ing Is an extract
An American breakfast especially
ut this appctizing season is the boap
ideal of matutinal feast Juno
when she banquets' has nothing equal
to it, What is Olympian Ambrosia to
Buckwheat Calest And then at coffee
making we can beat even the French
Not that we always do it-but there
are artists among us whose decoc-
tons Of the fragrant berry put the Pa
risian Cafes to shame
Our broiled spring chicken is thing
to thank Heaven upon with epicurean
junction. Talk Of vour English spatch-
cocks they are not worthy to be
named in the same decade with il.
Done Of an amber brown, anointed
with fresh butter, and duly seasoned,
it is dish to take the reason prisoner.
Some prefer broiled quail, and one
might
-" decide without great wrong 10 either,
l; were much better to have both than mother"
We wonder how the Children of Is
real fixed their quails. If. Moses
was the man we take him to have been,
he split his birds down the back,
and cooked them on the gridiron.
Again the American porter-house steak
would that it had more melodious
and less toperish name IS an article
sui gcn1js John Bull believes in
lump steak pummeling it with a roll
ing-pin makes it tender and vet dos
pite this quarterstaif-practice it is not
tender after all Old Font-de-bmui
cannot hold candle TO is in the steak
department. He won't acknowledge
it, for he is one of those obstinate old
heavy fathers that never give any
thing up but the fact is patent to the
unpreludiced of all nations. OF buck
wheat cakes we enjoy a monopoly. The
less enlightened countries of Chrsten-
dom have not had the sagacity toadopt
this crowning glory of the breakfast
table Like monkies who warm then
shiftless hands by fires they have not
sense enough to keep up, the outsiders
of the earth partake with rapture Of
