Mr.. BENEDICT has the most improved ma
chtnery for roasting coffee in the United States
Everything Is new, on an improved principle,
and his Roasted Coffee takes the preference over
all others. tt 80 Hff y z I
Among the most valuable stimulants coffee
takes the highest rank. The greatest care should
be taken in the process of Roas ting Coffee, as
upon that depends its flavor and stimulating
qualities. Si rll ~ 'illsls'4E VI.
By Mr.. BENEDICT'S new process of Roast
ing Coffee, the acid (deliterious property of the
cofee) is condensed and carried of by perfo-
rated pipes leading from the cylinders, and all
the aroma or fragrance Of the coffee retained in
the alright cylinders. Persons of the most
delicate and sensitive nervous organization, who
cannot use coffee prepared the old way, can
drink the delicious beverage when roasted in the
manner above described, without the slightest
injury to the system. i3ase ~,sj

How A MINISTER LOST A THOU
SAND DOLLARS. The Lehigh Val
ley penn Gazstte publishes this
A wealthy Wiliiamsport gentle
man became so much attached to
a'elergyman of that city that he
asked him to preach his funeral
sermon, no matter where he might
be. The pastor promised that no
matter what the distance that
separated them, or the difficulties
that might be placed between, he
would, when informed of the death
ofhis old friend, drop all else and
hasten to the spot that was to be
the resting-place of his mortal re-
mains. The pastor afterward re-,
moved from that vicinity. and a
short time ago received he sad
announcement that his friend was
dead. Instead of keeping his
promise. he replied that he was
unable to be present, as he could
not close his church, &c. The
funeral took place in due season,
but the pastor was not there to
perform the last sad rites over the
body of bis departed friend. The
ceremonies, however, were per-
formed By another, and afterward,
when the will was opened, it ap-
peared that the old man had been
faithful in death as he was in life,
and bequeathed 81, 900 to his old
friend, provided he preached his
funeral sermon. His feelings can
better be imagined than described,
we suppose.

The Scientific American SAYS
''Many of our readers have
doubtless heard of the famous
travelling stones of Australia.
Similar curiosities have recent

fectly round, the majority of
them as large as a walnut, and
of an irony nature. When dis

bic or other level surface, with
in two or three feet of each 9th,

elling toward a common CEN

bunch like a lot of eggs in a nest.

taken away four or five feetit re-
manned motionless. They are
found in a region comparative
ly level, and nothing but bare
rocks, Scattered over this bar
rem region are little basins, from
a foot to rod in diameter, and
it is in the bottom Of these that
the rolling stones are found.
They are from the size Of a pea
to five or six inches in diameter.
The cause of these stones rolling
together is doubtless to be found
in the material of which they are
composed, which appears to be-
loadstone or magnetic iron ore.

Admitting him to be as brave as
a total absence Of all feeling and

see what sort of merit be derives
