A Cup Of Coffee.

We have been reading, unde
this head, in an old work, SOM
interesting facts and anecdotes il
relation to coffee drinking. The
/, origin of coffee, as a beverage, is
we believe, without date, either ir
history or tradition. Some com
mentators on the Had have sup
posed that the Mpenthe served by
Helen to Telemachus was a decoc
ton of "Mocha's berry," but al
the penny-a-liners say, this report
requires confirmation. The kali
with which Abigail accommoda.
ted David, is also alleged to have
been coffee. Learned Hebrews,
however, assert that the kali was
burned barley. Perhaps 1t ought
to hare been coffee. Parched rye
does duty occasionally for Rio, in
these modern times. This fact
we all learned during the war
The Mohammedans say that COT
fee was revealed to the prophet
by the angel Gabriel. Per contra,
Sauarin attributes the discovery
Of the coffee berry to an Arabian
farmer, who remarked that his
cattle were quite risky after they
had been browsing on certain
shrub. This version of the dis
.covery is the popular one.
No matter how coffee, or rather
its properties, came to light, it is,
of all fluids that "cheer but not
inebriate," the best. 1t is a bless
ed beverage, with just enough of
the vivacious principle to keep
you from sleeping, and exactly
the modicum of anodyne neces-
sary to prevent you from being too
funny and loquacious. Unfortu-
nately, in some habits it tends to
bile; and where stupidity exists
in crude state, it generally de-
velopes it.
Coffee was introduced into Eng
land about the year 1862. In
that year, the first coffee-house
established in London was opened
in Cornhill, by Greek. Eight
years afterward, that royal b'hoy,
Charles the Second,

ion (he having learned it in Hol-
land,) of drinking coffee oat of
cups not much bigger than thin
bles. But it was not until a cen
fury afterwards that John Barley
corn was banished from the Eng
lish breakfast-table by the orien-
tai berry. At present, coffee
houses are as thick in the cities
as any other public places of re:
freshment, not even excepting
the saloons"
