How 20 Make Good Coffee.
BY PRoFEssoR L1EBra.

Whatever kind of coffee you may
use, the first condition is to pick it
before roasting, and remove all
things not belonging to it-as pieces
Of wood, stone, plumes, and above all,
the mouldy, black beans, which will
be found in every kind of coffee. The
sense of tasteis so tery susceptible, that
the smallest addition of anything for
eign will not pass unnoticed, The color
.ofdark-green looking coffee is usually
given to it artificially, and such beans
must be washed and thendried with a
warm liuenacIoth. s<a raSsst ~ :
The next important operation, on
which the quality Of the coffee de
pends, is the roasting. The beans
should not be roasted more than to the
point where they lose their horn-like
quality, and thus become fit fer grind
ing or crushing in wooden mortar.
The coffee contains some crystalline
body, called cafeia, the volatile ma
fure of which makes it necessary that
the greatest care be taken to retain it
in the beans. The roasting, therefore,
must be done slowly, until the coffee
assumes a light-br0wn color. From
beans roasted to dark brown, the cafl
fein will be gone; and should they
have been roasted still stronger, and
become of black color, all the princi-
pal cOmpOnents of the fruit are totally
destroyed, and the drink made Of
them does not deserve any more the
name of coffee.
Thebeans, made porous by the roast
ing-and thus subject to the influence
of the penetrating atmosphere, will
lose every day some of their aroma.
To avoid this, strew some powdered
sugar over them before you take them
out of the hot roasting pan-one half
ounce of sugar will be sufficient for
one pound of coffee. The sugar viii
melt Immediately, and will candy
the beans, which are to be stirred and
to be shaken. Their pores will be
covered by the melted sugar, and thus
be protected against the influence of
the air. The coffee will lose nearly
all its smell by this procedure, but
the latter will appear again SO much
fuller at the grinding. More recon-
it will be still, to roast only
such quantity of coffee as may be
wanted for one days consump ion. An
open frying-pan is preferable to a
closed cofee=drum, as the former af-
lords a better chance to watch the

BE JUST AND FEAR NOT.

Speak thou the truth. Let others fence
And trim their words for pay,
In pleasant sunshine and pretenre
Let others bask their day ts
Guard thou the fact, though clouds Of night
Down on thy watch-towsr stoop,
Though thou should'st see thine hearts delight
Borne from thee by their swoop.
Face thou the wind. Though safer seem
In shelter to abide,
We were not made to sit and dream;
The safe must FIRST be tried.

Into thy spirit burned,
Is better than the whole half heard,
Aud by thine interests turned.
Show thou thy light. If conscience gIeam,
Set not the bushel down
The smallest spark may send its beam

Woe, woe, to him on safety bent,
Who crseps to age from yoath,
Failing to grasp his iifs's intent
Because be fears the truth H
But true TO every inmost thought,
And AZ thy thought thy speech;
What thou hast not by suffering bought,
Presume thou not to teach.

Advertising and Cash Business.

Merchants of every description
who have suffered from losses which
they incurred by too much credit in
1866, are now naturally anxious to do
a cash business. in fact, "pay down"
is the dictate of safety and wisdom,
because the financial and political
affairs of the country are just in that
shape where the thoughtful man feels
the necessity OF holding his resources
in hand. Now it is a concession of
all traders-even those who do not
advertise-that the custom which
they have heretofore obtained by ad-
vertising, has generally been from
men with cash in hand, who bought
freely at the lowest market rates.
When merchants advertise good bar
gains" it attracts the cash from the
pockets of the community. We are,
therefore, correct in saying that moth
ing tends more to promote cash
business than advertising.

Mutton.


Hon. DanieL Webster kept on his
farm, in Marshfeld, from sixty to a
hundred sheep, chiefly for their meat.
His selections embraced the South
downs and the Leicesters.
On one occasion, MIR. Webster re-
marked, how little the great mass of
Americans cared for mutton food, while
in England the people generally esteem
it the very best of butchers meats. He
said he believed one reason to be, that
the English mutton in general was
better than ours. ''You may occasion
ally" he said, afind good mutton in
Albany, New York and Philadelphia
but in England you find no bad NUT
ton" -.yer. .G .s- ~, r;-r ..s.
Sol Asleep, according to Mr.. Webster,
should never be killed for the table
before it is three years old. A lamb,
indeed, may get nearly its full growth
at year and a half, or twenty months,
and become very fat, and this is the
age at which they are usually sold for
tbes shambles; but such, early mutton
is not delicately mixed, the lean with
the fat. 1t shrinks in boiling, and
when cut upon the table, it fills the
dish with white gravy. Mutton two
years older, though not tatter, will
have much higher flavor, the mus
cles and the fat lbeing mixed, and
when thoroughly cooked will fill the
dish with red gravy. ..ail
aoIt is gratifying TO find these views
maintained 10y sOne whose authority
for them the Influence to
which they are entitled. Theattempt
in some circles to exclude mutton
from the list of delicacies4 is here well
and deservedly rebuked. NO man
who possesses a cultivated taste in
these matters will fail to respond to
these discriminating remarks of Mr..
Webster. gsaafa.- -F
I'VE mean to repeat a thousand
times, or at least till what we say. has
some effect upon ourcountrymen, that
a pound of lean, tender, juicy mutton
can be produced for half the cost of
the same quantity of fat pork; that it
is infinitely healthier food, especially
in the summer Season, and those who
eat it become more muscular, and can
do more work with greater ease TO
themselves, than those who eat fat
pork. We know nothing more deli
ciOhs than smoked mutton hams of
the Southdown breeds of sheep. Ven
ison itself is not superior.

Co1nceit.

Hardly anything is more contempt
able than that deceit which rests
merely upon social position, the con-
ceit of those who imagine that they
are thus divorced from the clay Of
common men. Of those who shrunk
with horror from the idea Of work, as
something which degrades by its very
contact, and yet who, very likely,
owe their present position to some not
remote ancestor, who, recognizing his
call to work, lives more honestly in
the world than they do, and was not
ashamed of soiIed thumbs. 1t is one
of the meanest things for people to be
ashamed of the work from which they
drew their income, and which glOri-
fed their ancestors more than their
soiled aprons and black gowns, than
themselves with their fine ribbons and
flashing jewels.

FrankIin.s Wife.

~ prom t. her husbands interests,
she attended to his little shop, where
she bought rags, sewed pamphlets,
folded newspapers, and sold a few ar
ticlss in Which he dealt, such as ink,
papers, lampblaek, blanks and other
stationery. At the same time she was
an excellent housekeeper, and besides
being economical herself, taught her
somewhat careless, disorderly husband
to be economical also. Sometimes
Franklin was clothed from head to
foot in garments his wife had both
woven and made, and for long
time she performed all the work of
the house without the assistance of a
servant. Nevertheless she knew how
to be liberal at proper times. Frank
lin tells US that for some years after
his marriage, his breakfast was bread
and milk, which they ate out of
twO-penny earthen vessel, with
p 'wter spoon; but one morning on
going down to breakfast, he found
upon the table a beautiful china bowl,
from which his bread and milk was
with a silver spoon by its
side, which had cost a sum equal in
our currency to ten dollars. When
he expressed his astonishment at this
