Inc suppIv ana Price Of Cote

The Supply and Price Of Coffee.
The New York Bulletin considering the
effect of the repeal Of the coffee duty, adj
duces some important facts bearing on the
present and future of the market. 1t says:
s'The stocks In the United States are now
all concentrated in the six leading ports;
the Interior is utterly bare. But owing to
the &c duty still clinging to the article,
neither the secondhand dealers nor the re-
tailers will buy any more than they car
help until they can purchase duty free two
months hence. The wholesale grocers will
no doubt endeavor to buy in bond, thinking
they can afford to lose interest, storage, ETC.,
in prospect Of being able to buy cheaper
now than after the LIST of July. We are
now on the eve of dull season in coffee,
and must be prepared to see quiet markets
as a normal condition until after midsum-
mer. II, however, the wholesale houses
take the hint thrown out by the European
merchants Of an inevitable higher ruling Of
values later on, we may even during the
present and next month witness good
deal of animation in the staple in this mar
ket."

A knot OF ribbon blue;
He placed on my hand o jewel rare,
And whispered soft as he held Il there .ssft

The almond was bending with blossoms white,
The roses blushed through the dew;
The violet smiled in the glowing light,
And life was happy and hope was bright,
Teader and true-adieu, adieul
They brought my soldier home to me,
And my knot of ribbon blue;
But the cruel woundon the brow was hid
By the flag dropped ever the coffin lid,

The roses still blush through the dew;

And the lone, lone heart will wait till it break,

A GENTLEMAN in Chicago blessed with
a very jealous wife, gave her a lesson and
himself 'fgocd hearty laugh" the other
DAY by very simple yet ingenious device.
While his wife was away calling, he cut
from paper a couple of figures represented
in the act of kissing. He put the paper in
such position that the light would reflect
a life-sized shadow upon the curtain Of the
window that she would see on arriving, and
awaited the result. He heard footsteps
then they paused, and were followed BY a
mad rush into the house, where the little
affair explained itself and the story ended.

MASCULINE.
''What pity 'tis," said John, the sage,
"That women should, for hire,
Expose themselves upon the stage,
By wearing mems attire!"
"Ezposer cries Ned, who loves jeer;
Sin sense you surely fail;
What do the darlings have to fear
When clad in cOats-of-mGle?"
"reminiscences of our early love prompt
the following:
We once did write a letter to our love,
And filed it full of warm and keen desire;
We hoped to raise a flame, and so we did:
The lady put our nonsense in the fire.
