Costly Barroom Furniture.

N. Y. Mail and Express.
A Mail and Express reporter drop
ped into a big warehouse on Canal
Street, the other day, where bar fix
lures are the principal articles OF mer-
chandise for sale. Costly mirrors and
elegantly carved woodwork ornament
ed the side walls, while bars made of
solid mahogany were ranged along the
floor.
Business is good" said the propri-
etor. Every liquor dealer who can
afford it is settingrid OF the old and
shabby style OF bar fixtures, and
adopting the new and snowy furniture
which we make in a dozen different de-
signs. Therehas been radicalchange

The barroom with plateglass mirrors

the old fashioned store with the saw

while John, who was faithful and loving,
Has left us without his strong arm,
And now, when we need their protection,

And Betsey, my wife, true and loving,

In ways that bring evil and harm,

Last night, while in sleep, Hay dreaming
That Jennie and John were both true;
But when awakened in rapture.
The sweet vision passed from my view!
know, wife. we're aged ard feeble,
And feel that this life hath no charm,
But owe the dear home of our childhood,
And cling to the old, cherished farm.
Now we are both l~oveless and childless,
The wrinkles are deep on our brow
Our hair has grown aged and whitened,
Our footsteps are tottering now,
While we are so feeble and helpless,
With none to protect lis from harm, y
We only ran suffer in silence,
And tearfully mortgage the farm.

"reminiscences of Chicago's Great
Lawyer.

Lawyer
Chicago Tribune.
No lawyer at the Chicago bar was
equal to the late genial, witty Emory
A. Storrs in quickness or brilliancy of
repartee. His replies generally came
like flashes OF lightning, as per these
samples:
Once in court Storrs made an OBJ
lection to the testimony OF a certain
witness, ~whe1eupon opposing counsel
remarked: at hurts you to meet the
truth" ooh, no." replied Storrs, as
quick as a flash, Il never met the
truth. 1t and / always travel ID the
same direction"
/ remark to a friend OF his who was in
the witness chair, and who declined
to make a statement just as Storrs
evidently wanted it. II should liketo
favor you, Mr.. Storrs," said the wit
ness, "but l have even moreregardfor
the truth thar or YOU"
80, very WE'LL" was the lawyers re-
/ ply; "but a man at your age ought
not to desert old friends and take up
with strangers"
80, yes" said Storrs once of an emf
nent and wealthy Chicagoan, $50
and-so is a nice man, avery nice man.
never observed but one thing OBJ
jectionable in him, AND that is thathe
is insuiferable."
A friend once chided him upon his
improvidence and urged him to pre-
pare a competence for his old age.
"Old age said Storrs prophetical-
ly, sis a rusted stove pipe. may
burn out, but | shall never rust"
On another occasion his reckless
ness with money being adverted to hi
retorted:
"Money! Ii l tried to save it
should become its Save. Now it is
my weapon. When / fling it at people
they become slaves OF mine."
To an attorney who in court sprung
al ingenious but unsuccessful surprise
Storrs triumphantly remarked: "You
attempted murder and accomplished
suicide.
Some OF the sharpest shafts that
ever left Storrs' culver were aimed at
Hayes. His well kncwn description
OF Hayes at the Garfield funeral viii.
bear repetition:
There stood r. B. Hayes clad in q
long, linen ulster, with a straw hat or
the back of his head, holding in his
right hand a yellow worsted bag with
the letters r. b. II. worked in purple
by Lucy on one side. And no one
spoke to him except a policeman, and
he told him to keep off the grass.
During the campaign of 1876 Storrs
lunched with Hayes at Fremont. Ii
describing the meal a year or two at
terward, he said:
at was q royal banquet. At ONT
end of the table sat Rutherford, witt
a plate of Clipped beef in front OF him
At the other end was Lucy, with som,
baked apples and bread. In front o
me sat Schuyler Colfax. Between u.

A Good Cup of Coffee

OF course good quality of the coffee
bean and thoroughly clean utensils are
indispensable Then there are three
requisites - perfection namely, that
it be fresh-roasted, fresh-ground and
fresh-made. OF the many recipes that
have been published, we will give only
two. The first is the "Thurber re-
cipe":
Into large cup of coffee ground
moderately fine break one egg with
shell, mix well, adding enough cold
water to wet the grounds thoroughly.
Pour on a pint of water; boil slowly
for ten or fifteen minutes let it stand
three minutes to settle; pour through
a fine wire sieve into warm coffee
pot. This will do for four persons.
The following method is from that
king of cooks" Soyer. If simplicity
is an evidence of genius, it is worthy
of its author.
Put two ounces of ground coffee in
a stew-pan, set on the fire and stir
with a spoon until quite hot. Pour
over it pint of boiling water. Cover
over closely for FIVE minutes, pass 1t
through cloth. warm again and
serve.-Popuidr Science Ne'rs.

Salt for the Throat.

For many years past. indeed, we
may say during the whole of a life Of
more than forty years, we have been
subject TO dry hacking cough. which
Is not only distressing to ourself, but
our friends and those with whom we
are brought into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in com
mon salt. We commenced by using
it three times day, morning, noon
and night. We dissolved large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half tumbler of water. With
this we gargled the throat most
thoroughly just before meal time; the
result was that during the winter we
were not only free from coughs and
colds, but the dry hacking cough had
entirely disappeared. We attribute
these satisfactory results solely to the
use of salt gargle, and most cordially
recommend trial of it to those who
are subject to disease of the throat.
Many persons who have not tried the
salt gargle have the impression that it
is unpleasant, but after a few DAYS
use no person who loves a nice clean
mouth and first rate sharpener of the
appetite, will abandon it.-From the
Household.

the cooler air with which il becomes
mixed. chills it, the moisture is con-
densed. and dew is deposited on the
cold walls, and may often be seen run
ming down them in streams. Then
the cellar is damp, and soon becomes
moldy- To avoid this, the windows
should only be opened at night, and
late-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air Is unhealthful-it is as pure as the
air of midday, and is really drier. The
cool air enters the apartment during
the night. and circulstes through it.
The windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning. and kept
closed and shaded through the day.
II the air Of the cellar is damp. it may
be thoroughly dried by placing in it a
peck Of fresh lime in an open box. A
peck of lime will absorb about seven

Life on the Farm.

As to its drudgery-whatever has
been the case in the past, when stumps
were to be pulled and mortgages were
to be lifted from almost every field
when ii was long way to market, and
the buyer paid for produce in "trade,"
when almost all instruments were
laboriously hewn ont by the village
Observation-Disclosures is, happily, less druid
gerry on the farm now, and less need of
it every year. Taking the year through
the working hours of a man on farm
are no longer than those of the section
hand on the railway, or the artisan in
shop, who had his own garden to hoe
before breakfast and after supper. The
busy lawyer and doctor in average
practice. work longer and harder than
the farmer. The grocer and the book
keeper each sees less of his children in
their working hours, than the farmer,
who sometimes envies the above their
easy life" 1t must be conceded. Of
course, that the profits of farming are
not so large on an average as those
which are realized by men who are
successful in mercantile or pro-
fessonal life but, such as they are they
are surer, twenty fold surer at least.
Large profits are always contingent to
large risks. One must not expect the
same rate of interest from government
bonds as he does from mining stocks.
The wear and tear. the losing and de-
feats of business men in the last ten
years, have been the experience that
no farmer need covet. Cities are full
Of men who had visions of business
success that would in monthly profits
put to shame the small profits of a
farmers lifetime. On the home stretch
of three score and ten they find them
selves dependent for a livelihood on
SalarIed positions. which they hold by

or a commercial traveller.

In September

Mornings frosty grow, and cold.
Brown the grass on hill and void;
Crows are cawing sharp and clear
Where the rustling corn grows scar;
Mastering flocks Of blackbirds call;
Here and there few leaves fall,
In the meadows larks sing sweet,
Chirps the cricket at our feet
In September.
Moons are sunny. warm, and still;
A golden haze o'erhangs the hill.
Amber sunshine's on the floor
just within the open door;
Still the crickets call and creak,-
Never found, though long we SEEK
Oft comes faint report of gun;
Busy flies buzz In the sum-
In September.
Evenings chilly are, and damp,
Early lighted Is the lamp,
Fire burns, and kettle sings.
Smoke ascends In thin blue rings;
On the rug the children lie;
Iu the west the soft lights die
From the elms a robins song
From the elms robins song
Rings out swcetly. fingers long
