Finally, I nrrivo at the last great head of ...J -'.I , ,j us bofoio observed, whntonr lilieinian ineud hv an lioi-t tn wit. 1 ka. lnettiiiuir mnreDV. did in tho inquiry, "Will y r Honor tuk 'tay t.v' nr Roflua t:iv ?" I urn not about to enter into the morito of the Ri-eat toa-and cofloe controviirsy, or say wnetber lueeo suDstancos are or are not wuoiu-somo. I treut of them as actual existences, and speak only of tho modes of making tho most of them. The French cofl'eo is reputed .tho beat in the world j and a thousand voices have asked, What is it about the French coft'ee ? In tlio first place, then, the French coffee is coll'oo, and uot chiccory, or rye, or beans, or peas. In the secoud place, it is freshly roasted, whenever made, roasted with great caro aud evenness in u little revolving cylinder" which makes part of the furniture of every kitchen, and which keeps in tho aroraa of the berry. It is never overdoue. so as to destroy tbo coffee-flavor, which is iu nine cases out of ten tho fault of the coffee we meet with. Then it is ground, and placed in a coffee-pot with a filter, through which it percolates in oipnr HrniM. tlin colfiie-not standineon o heat ed stove to uiuiutain the temperature. The nose of the couuc-poi is sioppea up m prevent the escape of the aroma during this process. The extract thus obtained is a perfectly clear, dark lluid, known as cafe noir, or black coffee. It is black only because of its uirpiirrtli hoinir in dirt iilinoat tho verv essen tial oH of coffee. A table-spoonful of this in boiled milk would make what is ordinarily called a strong enp of coffee. The boiled milk is prepared with no less care. It must be fresh and new, aot merely warmed or even brought to the boiliug piiut, dud wowiy wui-mj tin ; ntt.iiim p. thick, creamv richness. The coffee mixed with this, aud sweetened with that uparkling beet-root sugar which orameuts a French table, is the celebrated rafrau lait, tho name of which has gone round the world. ' As we look to France lor the best conee, so we mut look' to England for the perfection of tea. The tea kettie is as much au English institution as aristocracy or ine rrayer-oooK ; ...i ,.,i,or nno wiinU tn know exaotlv how tea OHM " II Wl VMV " V oi,n,,i,l ha moila. one has oulv to ask how a huo old English housekeeper makes it. The first article or her umn . !.. l.n hnt. not merely have boiled a few moments since, but be actu- ally boiling at the same moment ""-u the tea. Hence, thongh serveuU in England arc urastly better trained than with ns, this delicate mystory is seldom loft to their hands. Tea-making bolongs to the drawing-room, and high-born ladies preside at "the bubbling and loud hissing urn, and see thut all due rites and solomuities arr properly performed, that tbo cups are hot, and thut the infused tea waiU the exact time before the libations commence. Oh, ye dear old English tea tables, resorts of the kindest hearted hospitality in the world: I we still cherish your memory, oven thongh you do not say pleasant things of ns there. One of these days T'u will think better of us. Of late, the introduction of English breakfast-tea has ruiscd a new sect amoug the tea drinkers, reversing some of tho old cumins.Breakfast-tea ninst be boiled I Unlike tho delicato articlo of olden lline, which required only a momentary infusion to develop its richness, this requires a longer aud severer treatment to bring out its strength, thug confuting all the established Umiges, and throwing the work into the hands of till cook in tht kitchen. ' The faults of tea, as too commonly found at our hotels and boarding-houses, are that it is made in every way the reverse of what it should be. The water is hot perhaps, but not boiling ; the tea' has a general (rut, stale, .mnl-v fnutn rtavnid nf lifn or xnirit s ' sa.irl it is served, usually, with thin milk, instead nf cream. Cream is as essential to the richness of tea as of coffee. We couid wish that the Kriglifh fashion 'might jraerally prevail, of giving the traveller his own kettle of boiling water and his own tea'cV'st, and letting him rrmke tea for himself. At all events, be would throne sure of one merif la- his tea, it wonlrj b hot, a verv simplo nl obvious virtu, bat on(r very seldom olitaiiwd. e'hnrnMa in a Frnnrh and Hrmnihh rt!rlo. and eue acUkiin trvcd on Americuu tables.

JJU.UI a U V I- L vanilla-chocoluto may rest assured that no foreign laud can furnish anything better. A vory rich and delicious beverage may be mado by dissolving this in milk slowly boiled down ufier the Freubh fushion. I havo now gone ovor all tbo ground I laid out, as comprising tho great first principles of cookery ; and I would hero modestly offer tho opinion tunt a tablo where all these principles are carefully observed would need few dainties. Tho strugglo after so-called delicacies comes from tlio poorness of common things. I'erl'oct broad and bnttor would soon drive cuke out of the field : it has done so in niuuy fumilies. , Nevertheless, I have a word to say under tho bend of Cotifectionery, meaning by this tlie whole raugo of ornamental cookery, or pastry, ices, jellies, preserves, etc. The art of making all those very perfectly is fur better Understood in America than the art of common cookiug. Thero are more women who know how to make good caka than good bread, more who can furnish yen with a good ie-creani thnn a well-cooked mutton-chop j a fair cliarlotte-russo is easier to come by than a perfect cup of coffee, and you shall find a sparkliug jolly to your dessert where you sighed in vain for so simplo a luxury us a well cooked potato. . Our fair countrywomen might rest upon their laurels in these higher fields, and turn their great energy and ingenuity to tho study of essentials. To do common thingspcrl'ectly is far better worth our eudeaver than to do uncommon thiugs respectably. Wo Americans in many thiugs as yot have been a little inclined to begin making our shirt at themflio; but, nevertheless, when we set about it, we cau make it as nicely as anybody, it ueeds only that we turn our atteution to'it, resolved, that, ruillo or no ruttlo, the shirt wo will have. I have also a few words to sny ns to tho prevalent ideas in respect to French cookery. Having heard much of it, with no very distinct idea what it is, our people havo somehow fallen into the notion that it forte lies iu high spicing, aud so, when our cooks put a great abundauco of clove, nmcc, nutmeg, and cinnamon iuto their preparations, they fancy they are growiug up to be French cooks. But tho fact is, that tho Americans and English are for more given to spicing than the French. Spices iu our made dishes are abundant, nnd their tasto is strongly pronounced. In living a year iu France I forgot the taste of nutmeg, clove, and allspice, which had mot mo in so many dishes in America. The thing may be briefly defined. The Kuglish and Americans doal iu tpiees, the French ajia cor, -flavors many and subtile, imitating oftou in their delicacy those snbtilo blendiugs Vhich Nature produces in high-flavored fruits. The recipes of ouf Cookery books nro most of them ot Euglish origin, coming dowu from the times of our phlegmatic ancestors, when the solid, burly, beefy growth of the foggy island required the heat of fiery condimonts, and could digest heavy sweets. W rtness the national rocipe for plum pudding, Which may be rondercd, Take a pouuu of overy indigestible substance you can think of, boil iuto a cannon-ball, nnd serve in lluming brandy, bo ot the Christmas minco-pie aud many other national dishes. But in America, owiug to our brighter skies and moro fervid climnto, we have developed nn acuto, nervous delicacy of temperament far more akin to that ot France than of htiglmii). Half of tho recipes in our cook-books are mere murder to such constitutions and stomachs as we grow here. We require to ponder these things, urn think how we in our climate and under our circumstances ought to live, and iu doing so, we may, without accusal iou of foreign foppery, take some leuves from many foreign books. But, Christopher lias prosed long enough. I must now read this to my wife, and see what sho says. Stephen Gray. l'.V LILLIAN A. FAl'LK.VKB. "Oome, child," said mother, ','n'ako tho coffee axid set tho table, and we'll have breakfast right uway : your father is in a hurry to get off to tho woods, us ho has two hands to help him to-day." Aud so I went about my work. Tho boys, hilarious with mirth, cuiiio in from the barn with their milk-pails, and the meu tinkered with their axes and chains tho other side of the stove, while mother and I worked our wny around them, sho with patient good humor, I, very much out of sorts with all the world. You know how drcuty is that curly, frosty morning, when it is so durk and cold thut the temper must flash out u little to make light and heat. Besides, this kitchen-working had grown distnsteful to mo ; this homely domestic life seemed prosaic, and so I hud only a sharp word for my brothers' fun and mischief, a si lent tongno under my father's good-natured raillery, aud a grave face uudef my mother's wistful, sympathizing look. The pork was fried, the potr.tocs boiled, tho biscuits baked, aud the coffee sent its fragrance through tho room us we gathered around our frugal board. Our heads were bowed a moment as father reverently ackuDwl edged tho Giver of our blessings, remembering our country's need, even in that short benediction on our food. And theu nulurully they talked of tho war nows, the policy of the Administration, or tho necessity or another draft- Listening to them, I felt strong and proud that I had given my best to my country. So we dim the line gold of out virtues. Wo do horoic dee'dsiuid worship ourselves for them. As they discussed a draft, my impatient ionjfue grew hot with indignatiou thnt draft should be needed. There were m3 enough in our town who might volunteer, and as fur tho60 who uvailcd- themselves of any excuse to be exempt from service, I hud do putienco with them. The multiplied forms of physical inability, that hnd disabled so many of our men, tho Bidden family arrangements, by which the parents depended on a certuin son, the unexpected removals to other places, how lightly I ran over these, and howcorn-fully 1 dropped off my tongue the- epithets I applied to theso "exempts," this cowardly set ofmen. Father laughed at my enthusiasm, but I saw the color deepen in the chock of one of the men, Stephen Urey, nnd his ey flashed a little as ho bent over his plate. Ho said nothing iu reply to my tirade, but aa I caught that look In his eye, I remembered that he had been drafted the year before, but the care Of an invalid sister and widowed mother had boen received as a sufficient excus for not holding him. As the talk went on, and father win speak ing of our brave boy, he replied. "There be somi who stay at home whose tak n harder, Tho whtjjean'f go are to be pitied, us well as those who do go. "WouWyou go r said little Htart. "Certainly I would, were it not fsr mother and Hannah, he replied. 11 looked at the rnnst i a homely, grave ine, a stulwat form and brawny arm, that hnd done thc work ftti the same, tarrtf from narll- ebt childhood. I remembered him when lio did not look so sober, when be used to come to our house to work with the older boys many a tiiuo he hud tossed mo on tho buy, or shaken uowu the rosy-checked apples to Ml my basket. His father had died aud left him to provide for a weak, querulous mother and bed-ridden sistor. The small, rocky furm yielded but a poor profit, and the little browD house grew older nnd more homely in its rough-fiiiishiug and primitive furniture. But tno mother clung pertinaciously to the old homo, and would listen to' no change or improvement, and tho sister, ill natured aud stupid, had no womauly gifts to gladden her brother's heart, hail her strength been equal or her health snllicieut. And so the youth grew into manhood, with hard labor out-doors, and little comfort within ; faithful, honest and patient in the lot fullen to him. With only common abilities and tho ordinary education of a poor larmer's boy, this life must bo hum-blo enough. There had come to him once, as thero comes to other young men, a dream of a pleusnut home with a face ho loved. lie had looked iuto Mary Leo's bright oyes, nnd his honest heart had grown warmer ns ho watched her brisk movements around her father's kitchen, or heard her voice in snatches of songs ns she brought in her brimming milk-pails, when he worked there m "haying time." Hut how could he nsk tho girl he loved to boar the poverty und discomfort of his horn", with 110 prospect of makiug it better or plensantur? His mother and sister were "too set in their ways" to allow any interference. And yot there was a kind of hope iu his heart, that some day things wonld chuiigo ; nnd so he wuited, but at last Mary got married nud went to Ohio to live. After that he grew sober arid old. No wife to sit at his tuble, no children to gather round his hearth ; tho mother moro childish, the sister more feeble and exacting ; was it strange that he grew sober mid old ? Aud iuto this monotonous life had come tho call to arm himself for his couutry, a call to go out from that dull, dreury life into the keeri excitement and stirring scenes of the army. But if his heart leaped up at the thought of such a change, it was only for a moment Thero were others to fight for his country, there was no one else to care for his mother und sister, and so he 'got his exemption nnd went on in the old way. And l had called this man a coward ! So slow are we to recognize tho heroism iu the common lives arouud us. It ull flashed through my mind iu au iustuut, nnd I wanted to reach my hand across the table nnd ask his pardon, but ho went on quietly with his breakfast j, mother, with her sweet voice, made some kindly remark, aud tbo meal soon finished. But I did cot forget the lesson I learned that morning. The muu seemed as unconscious of his self sacrifico and filial devotiou as if be never thought of doing a noble or heroic thing j I felt hninblo in his presence. There was no martyr look iu his face, no airs about him which challenged us to uppreciute his gooduess, but learned from him that tbe performance of present duty, tho duty to which God calls us by his provideuw, may be as heroic in liis sight as the most Belt'-sucrifieiug patriotism, tho bravest deeds of arms ) that to live patiently and faithfully where he has placed us rcuy be as acceptable iu His Bight us to die for liberty und justice. And bo I go about my daily work, more humble and self-forgetful, moro appreciative of tbe homely exccllouce, the unobtrusive virtues of common life. VALLAUnrfirrAM. - In a xnlirinnl nnoni hv Rev. J.

Bone, local editor of tbo Cleveland Ilcrald, is at present on a tour ot inspection to tlio oil regions of Penu-sylvuuia, and is furnishing his experiences to that paper in the shupoof a highly interesting series of papers entitled "Sketches in Oil." The following details concerning tho most notod flowing wells of the Oil Creek valley, will bo now to ninny: Tho first flowing well ever struck was on tho McElhcinny or Funk Farm, and was known as the l-unk cll.' iunk was a poor man when the well was sunk.-It whs struck June, 1 01, and commeneod flowing, to tho astonishment of all tho oil borers in tha neighborhood, at tha rate of 250 barrels a day. Such prodigal supply of greaso upset all the calculations,-but it was confidently prodicted that tho supply would soon stop. It wus an -'Oil Crock humbug and tlioso who bad no direct interest in tht prosperity of tho well looked day after day to see tho stream stop. But liko tho old woman who sat down by the river Bido to lot tlio river run itself out that, she mijiht cross dry-Bhod, they waited in vain. Tho oil son- tiuucd flowing with but littlo variation for fifteen months, ind then Btoppod, but not before Funk became 8 very rich man. But long before tho lunk well had gi-. vcu out, the wonder in regard to it was ovcrsbadowod by a new sensation. Down on the Tar farm the Phillips Well hurst forth with a stream of two thousand bur rels daily. Not to bo outdone by the ter ritory down the Creek, the McElheny tract "saw" the Tar farm, and "wont it a thousaud better." Tho Empire Well, closo to the Funk, suddenly burst forth with its threo thousand barrels daily, , figure subsiqueut flowing wells vainly endeavored to equal. Tho owners wero bewilderod. It was truly too much of a good thing." Tho true value of petroleum bad not yet been discovered, and the market for it was limited. Foreigners wonld hate nothing to do with the nasty, greasy, combustible thing. Our own people were divided in opinion. Somo thought it a dangerous thing, to bo handled at arm's length, whilst others tot it down ns a hntnbug in some way or other, of which the couimu nity should keep us shy as possible. The Bupply was already in advanco of the demand, but tho addition of three thousand barrels a day was monstrous and not to bo endutod. Tho prico fell to twenty cents a barrel, then to fifteen, und then to ten.Coopeis could sell barrels for cash only,' and refusod to take their, pay in oil or in drafts on oil shipments. Finally it was impossible to obtain barrels oc any terms, for all the noopers in the surrounding country could not make barrels as fast as the Empire could fill thorn. The owners wero in despair and tried to choke off their confounded well, but it would not be choked off. Then tbey built a dam around it and covered tho soil with grease, hut the nil refused to be dammed, and rushed into the stream, making Oil Crock literally worthy its name. For nearly a year it flowed, and then dropped to a pumping well, yielding about a bun-dred barrels. Lately it stopped, but on the application of an air rump, it revived, and now runs about fifty barrels daily. The Sherman well, which was tho next great "flowing well," was put down in tho spring of 18(52. It was sunk under great difficulties. J. W. Sherman, who was the original owner, commenced sink ing it on tho Fostei Farm, next above tho McElhenny, with very limited means. His wife furnished tbo money, and tho well wa Bunk under great difficulties. After a while it becamo necessary to procure an engine, bat there was no monay to make tho purchase, and two men who were in possession of tho desirod attielo woro admitted to a share for tho engine. Soon after, when but a few moro feet were necessary to reach tho supposed de posit of oil, the funds were exbrmsted. A sixteenth interest was offered for $100, and refused. Ultimately it Was sold for JjUO and an old shot gnn. A.horse becamo neocspary daring tho work, and a share was bartered fur the animal. At last, when all the. means that could be raised by borrowing pr selling were about exhausted, oil was struck, and flowed at the rate of 1500 barrels a dav. 1 ho now continued at this rate for several months, when it doclincd to 700 barrels. For twontyxthrco months the well continued flowing, and then Btoppod. . For tho first year tbo proprietors mado but littlo, if anyfiiing, owing to tho low price of oil und tho difficulty of getting it to market, but during tbe second year the market improved, nnd an immense fortune was reaped. Iho well now pumps from thir ty to forty barrels daily. On tbo Lust side ot tno Lrcck lrom tho Foster Farm is tbo Ferrel' Farm. Forrul was a poor uiun, hauling oil, and was offered .one-eigtth interest in the land for $20(3. On that land tho Noble Well was sunk, striking 0i4 in May, 1863. Tho flow was about 260O barrels daily, reducing tho prico ot oit considerably. Tho well now flows from 2Q0 to 30O barrels.Tho Coldwoll Well, adjoining th No ble, struck oil a short time before the Noble, nd flowod 800 barrels. When the Noble struck oil the Cold well stopped. Fearing probably that tho latter would he pumped, and thus interfere with the Noble, the owners of that well bought the Coldwoll for 5175,000, after it had stopped. . ' The Crocker Well wtu struck in 18C3, and flowed largoly. It now tvuurpg. . On the Egbert Farm tho Maple ShaJe was, until recently, tho great sensation, flowing 1,000 barrels. It has bow de clined to a very small amount, and on our first visit was noiog nothing. Tho owners are interested in the new Coquette Well, and m-fr therefore not grently in tercste4 irr setting the Maplo feRade to work at once.
