Coffee.

1t is somewhat singular to trace the
manner in which arose the use Of the
common beverage, coffee. At the time
Columbus discovered America, it had
never been known or used there. Il
only grew in Arabia and Upper ETHIOPIA
TIC discovery Of its use as beverage
is ascribed to the superior Of mo.
naste,y, in Arabia, who was desirous
of preventing the monks from sleeping
at their nocturnal services, made them
drink the infusion Of coffee, upon the
report Of some shcrhar!s, who observed
that their sheep were more lively after
browsing upon the fruit Of the plant
It's reputation sp,eal through the al
iaceht countries, aud in about 200 wears
it reached Paris. A single plant.
brought there i'll ILL became the
parent stock of all the French coffee
plantations in West Indl;es. The cx
tent oe its consumption can now hardly
be estimated. The United States alone
consume it at 4 cost, on its lending, OF
from twenty to twenty-five millions of
dollars per annum. You may know the

its small bean of a dark yellow color.
