THE GREAT BEVERAGE.

Coffee has been called the intellec-
tual beverage, on account of the
partiality to it of men of science and
letters, poets and scholars. OF late
it has been the fashion to decry its
use and to say it iss injurious to
health. In some cases this may be
true, but the fact that men can live
on it and endure excessive exertion
for several consecutive days proves
that it has virtues unexcelled by any
other drink. Habitual coffee drink
ers generally enjoy good health, new
er feeling any depressing reaction,
such as is produced by alcoholic stim-
ulants. 1t is mental and bodily
stlmulant, but its nutIitive far ex-
ceeds its eyhilerating properties !;
hence it is largely used by physicians,
who prefer it in some cases to the
best of soups for sustaining the sys-
tenn in certain prostrating diseases.
Coffee is inimical to malaria and to
all noxious vapors. In intermittent
fever it has been used by eminent
physicians with the happiest effect in
cutting short the attack, and, if prop
erly managed, is better in many
cases than the sulphate of quinine.
In that low state of intermittent as

pi river and other malarial districts.

RELIGIOUS BELIEF. - envy no
quality of the mind or intellect in
others, be it genius, power, wit, or
fancy; but if | could choose what
would be the most delightful, and i
believe most useful, to me i should
prefer firm religious belief to any
other blessing: for it makes life a
discipline of goodness !; creates new
hopes, when all earthly hopes vanish;
and throws over the decay, the de-
struction of existence. the most gor-
geous of all lights awakens life eeven
in death from destruction and decay
calls up beauty and divinity; makes
an instrument of torture and shame,
the ladder of ascent to paradise and
far above all combinations of earthly
hopes. calls up the most delightful
visions of palms and amaranths. the
gardens of the blest and the sceptic
view only gloom, decay. humiliation.

TUBEROSES.

The tuberose is so called on ac-
count of its peculiar bulb, the name
meaning like tuber. Tuberose is the
common name, the botanical name
being Polianthes. There are two
species of Polianthes known, one be-
ing P. gracilis, native of Brazil, of
no particular merit as a cultivated
plant and other P tuberosa, so we'll
known. The latter is native of the
East Indies. For a long time after
it was brought into cultivation only
the original single form was known,
but subsequently double lowered
plant was produced, and has since
been perpetuated as a variety. A
few years since a dwarf or lower
growing variety than the ordinary
double fowered was originated. This
variety is known as the "Pearl." AS
it has much larger flowers, with more
numerous petals, than the old double
sort, it is now very extensively rails
ed, and is perferred to it, although
the other is still much cultivated.
There is a variety, also, with varie-
gated foliage, but this popularity
has not been of sufficient merit to
bring it out very prominently or ex-
cite much admiration it has single
flowers. In contrast with the plain
leaved plants it is pleasing, especial
ly when raised as a pot OF vase
plant.
A variety with single flowers,
known as the "Orange-fowered," is
now in the trade; the flow ers are
pure white, and its name refers to its
fragrance, for which it is said to ex-
Gel the Pearl and the common double
and to rival Orange bloom. For our
own part, we should not think that
Orange blossoms are more fragrant
than those of Tuberose Pearl, and it
does not seem that a heavier per-
fume can be desirable. Undoubted-
| " there may be other strains propa-
gated on account of some slight PEE
culiarities and having local reputa-
tions, but those named above are the
principal ones. In the future we
may expect others to appear from
time to time, and, in fact, even now
there Is one of late origin that is
claimed to be earlier than the Pearl
| or the common double. We cannot,
at the present time, advise our read
ers that it has any claim over the
Pearl, and We doubt if anything
superior to it will very soon be found.

So that no less than seven editions
of the chest of drawers were sold be-
fore the season was over. They be-
came the fashion. Every person
who bought one had vague hope of
having something little different
from his neighbors. And some of
them have never yet ceased looking
for hidden treasures, old papers or
outlawed wills among the pigeon
holes and compartments.
When the season ended and the
city boarders went back to their brick
| and mortar wilderness, Abel brought
his mother-in-law plethoric pocket
book.
'sThree hundred and sixty-five dol

THE ALBATROSS.


He spreads his wings like banners to the breeze.
He cleaves the air, afoat on pinions wide;
Leagues upon leagues. across the lonely seas,
He sweeps above the vast, uneasy tide.
For davs together through the trackess skies,
Steadfast, without quiver of his plumes,
without moments pause for rest, he flies
Through dazzling sunshine and through cloudy
glooms.
Down the green CULTS he glides. or skins the foam
Searching for booty With an eager eye
Hovering aloft where the long breakers comb
Ger wrecks forIorn, that toppe helplessly.
He loves the tempest; he is glad to see
The roaring gale to heaven the pillows toss.
For strong to battle with the storm is he.
The mystic bird. the wandering abatrossl

There was a proviso, however, that
the railroad was to pay the interest
of six per cent. on these bonds as reg.

the binds themselves at the proper
time. relieving the State from all ex,

failed to do so. The statue authoriz-
ing the issuance of these bonds also
provided that in the event of the fail
ure of the railroad to pay the interest
and principal the State might appoint
a receiver whose duty it should he to
take charge of the road and manage
it for the State, applying all the rev,
enue to the liquidation of the bonds.
The bonds issued by the State were
sold by the Mississippi Central Rail-
road Company and the proceeds APP
piled to the construction of the road.
The company, however, failed to pay
the interest and bonds, and 10y virtue
of the statute Gov. Porter appointed
Gen, r. p. Nicely as receiver. 9th

those to the State, and most of these
fell into the hands Of parties working
in the interest of the Illinois Central
railroad. They purchased the Missis-
sippi Central from Gen. Nicely, re.
ceiver, and paid the State the amount
due it. The original stockholders did

suit is brought by persons in Fayette
county who own stock. They claim
that Gen. Nicely expended in perma-

paid to them as stockholders, and al
so that he transferred to the Illinois
Central about $4,000 worth of iron
and other material not included in
the purchase.
The SUIT promises to be lively one,
not only on account of the amount in
