How CoFFEE CANE TO BE UsED.-Iti
somewhat singular to trace the manner
in which arose the use of the common
beverage, coffee, without which few per-
sons, in any half or wholly civilized
country in the world, would seem bard
ly able to exist. At the time Columbus
discovered America, it had never been
known or used. 1t only grew in Arabia
and upper Ethiopia. The discovery OF
its use as beverage. is ascribed to the
superior of monastery, in Arabia, who,
desirous of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services, made
them drink the infusion of coffee, upon
the report of some shepherds, who OBJ
served that their tiocks were more lively
after browsing on the fruit of that plants
Itsreputation spread through the adjacent
countries, and in about 200 years it reach
ed Paris. A single plant brought there
n 1714, became the parent stalk OF all
the French coffee plantations in the West
Indies. The extent of the consumption
can now be hardly realized. The Unit
ed States alone annually consume it at
the cost of its landing of from fifteen to
sixteen millions of dollars. You may
know the Arabia or Mocha, the best cof-
fee. by its small bean of dark yellow
color. The Java and East Indian, the
next in quality, are larger and of paler
yellow. The West Indian Rio has q
bluesh or greenish, gray tint.

THE FARMERS SONG.

BY JENNIE.
The corn is in the barn, Kitty,
The horses are eating hay,
The sheep are safe from harm, Kitty,
And the children al nsway.
Come sit thee down by me Kitty.
While the twilight steals around;
For we are bthe and free, Kitty.
As happy can be found.
Iknov thoust many cares, Kitty,
Churning and making the cheese.
Mending the rents and tears, Kitty,
And many such things as these.
Then rest thee by my side, Kitty,
While the daylight melts away,
As when thou vert my bride. Kitty,
Though it seems but yesterday.
OH may ne'er forget, Kitty,
80 The deep vows that made me thine,
And mayst thou ne'er regret, Kitty,
The pure love that made thee mine.
Shadows are on thy brow, Kitty,
And feel them on my heart;
know thou'rt thinking now. Kitty,
or the time when we must part.
But while our lives shall last, Kitty,
We two viii be only one
Until the storms are past. Kitty,
And all OF our work is done.

the joints well knit together. His neck
was long and finely moulded. The head
unusually large-gave space for

Jet black, and slightly curling, fell down
over his ears. The eyebrows were arch.

ruddy. His large eyes. intensely black
and piercing, received additional lus,rs
from their long dark eyelashes. The
nose was high and slightly aquiline, but
fine; and at the end attenuated. The
teeth were far apart. A long, black,
bushy beard. reaching to the breast, adj

preston was pensive and contemplative.

ANOTHER FAST YOUNG MAN A
MURDERER.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the par
ticulars of a murder committed in that
city on Saturday evening by son of
wealthy citizen Of Cincinnati. Three
young men, sons of wealthy and promi.
nent business men--named Charles Cook,
son of the elder member Of the firm of
Cook, Adams & Co., lumber dealers;
VIM. Setter, son of Geo. Setter, banker
and VIM. Swift, son of one of the firm of
Pendleton. Swift & Co., dry goods mer-
chants, visited house of ill-repuie.-
Setter got into an alteration with wo-
man named Kate Beareau and knocked
the woman down a number of times,
beating and kicking her brutally. Cook
took part in the affair and also knocked
the woman down, finally drawing q
knife and stabbiug her horribly. The
scene then is described by the Gazsas
thus:
The wounded woman, who was cover
ed with blood. lived perhaps twenty min
utes. After the fatal blow was struck,
she raised herself partially from the floor
BY one elbow upon lounge. and called
for glass of water, which, with q spas.
modic effort, she threw into her mouth,
and then, with an oath, exclaimed to
Cook, You have stabbed me- A min
ute after. one of the girls bent over Kate,
and told her she could not live, and adj
vised her to pray. The sin stained cour-
texan, in that hour of blood could realize
the necessity of prayer-of asking for
giveness for the manifold transgressions
of her erring sister. whose spirit was
rapidly passing to its final. account
And the victim Of "the liberty of the
knife" did pray while the gaping
wound in her side gave utterance to q
breathing sound with every word that
was uttered She prayed for herself.
for her husband and child, and sank into
the arms of death with the PRAYER still
upon her lips. What scene for BROTH
ell!
The young men were arrested; and
the murder has created intense excite
ment.- Cleveland Herald.

La, Naoml!' retorted PhGoe, whose
face became violent crimson; I'm sure
it can't be. But goodnessl how your
collar is rumpledl How ever could you
have doEe it?'
The two young men laughed. Then
Harry grew little serious, and said to
Gerard, BY the bye, it is well you and
1, sir, should understand each other
This'-he took Phebe's hand as be
spoke-'is my little wife that is to be.
L am quite of your opinion; it is right
we should understand each other. This
is my little wife that is TO be- said &C.
rard, holding and pressing Naomi's hand
as he spoke.
TO be sure,' said Phoebe, with 8
laugh. and holding up her fingers to &C.
rard. Didn't tell you there wer, signs
that she would be soon engaged?'
He laughed-he could do that now,
with satisfaction.
oh! I knew Naomi didn't treasure
up that lock of your hair for nothing,
continued Phoebe, mirthfully.
Then she recounted, with passing al
lusion to the remarkable coincidence
how they we're struggling for the loci
of hair which in spirit Of mischief, she
(Phoebe) had darted off just as Gerart
arrived.
You have that lock of hair still, deal
Naomi?' said Gerard fondly, TO her
Her beaming eyes answered in the affirm
alive, while Phoebe, provokingly full o
banter, said, Trust her for that! Blu
she cannot show it you
Why not?' asked Gerard.
B cause she has kissed the paper un
ill it is quite shabby.
There was general laugh at this sal
ly, and Gerard could not refrain from
kissing Naomi.
Don't go on in that way. See wha
you make me dol cried Harry Viliers
proce eding to bend the front of Phoebe'
| bonnet.
As Pheoe's lips were released, sh'
cried, You are so rude, Harry!'
So he was, but not disagreeably.
But what did Martin Dacre say t.
these engagements. in which he had no
been consulted? Why. he slapped th.
table and said, 4 always have said. an
do say, that, in the dance of life young
people should choose their own partners
but if the choice had been left to me
which it was not, nor even my opinion
asked, for the matter O. that-there's NJ
two young men in this coualry 1 wOulc
sooner give my daughters to!'
In psrenthesis, it may be added there
were no two other young men in the
country they would have accepted.
The fathers of Villiers and Earle tho
with their sons, when they saw the pret.
ty faces and pleasing manners of the
choice they had made; and surely you,
reader, will offer no opposition to the un.
ions to which they consented.
All Guildford rung with the news that
the pretty daughters of old Dacre were
going to be married. All the young
girls said it was precions good job, and
all the young fellows said it was great
nuisance. They wondered what the
girls could see in two such puppies to
wed them; while the girls wondered
how two such handsome young fellows
could suffer themselves to be entrapped
by such ar.ful, designing creatures as
those girls at the Dolphin.
They were married though, and happy
enough they have since been, in the
choice they have each made.
