SAD CASE OF INSANITY AM DEsTI-
TUTIoN.-We find the following in the
Marysville Standard ofthe 9th instant:
Our attention was Yesterday called
to a case of destitutlon, misery and
wretchedne>s which should at once
elicit the sympathies of u citizens.
The family reside on California alley,
between Seventh and Eighth streets.
Recently the father, Charles Hood,
became insane and was sent to Stock
ton. We visited the house last even
ing, and found the poor woman also
suffering from a dethronement of
reason. apparently helpless and in
great want. The three children, who
under more favorable conditions would
be bright and healthy, were a pitiable
spectacle in their rags and filth. The
room they occupied contained little or
no furniture. and on every hand gaunt
poverty stared Us in the face. The
large stable lea their residence has
lately had several narrow escapes from
fire applied blythe children. who seem
to wander at will. having no II com
petent to look after them. Will not
the proper authorities. or the charita-
bly, disposed, attend To the wants of
this unfortunate family?

duced pauperism, which has steadily
grown with the growth of large es-
tateS. The poor have thus been driven
into towns, and compelled to live in
novels, dens, and garrets. just as the
same consequences followed in repub-
lican Rome when the patricians seized
the lands of the small free holders
and drove their occupants into the
capital.

DISCOVERY OF COFFEE. Towards the mid
die of the fifteenth century, a poor arab was
travelling in Abyssinia, and finding himself
weak and weary from fatigue, he stopped near
grove. Being in want Of fuel to cook his
rice, he cut down tree which happened to be
covered with dried berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller discovered
that the half burned berries were fragrant.
He collected number Of these, and on crush
ing them with q stone, he found that their
oroma increased to a great extent. While
wondering at this, he accidently let fall the
substance into q can which contained his
scanty supply of water. 10, what a miracle !!
the almost putrid liquid was instantly purl-
fed, he brought it to his lips 1t was fresh and
agreeable and in moment after the traveller
had so far recovered his strength and energy
as to be able 20 resume his journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as many berries as he
could, and arriving at Alden, in Arabia, he
informed the Mutt Of his discovery. The
worthy divine was an irveterate opium
smoker, and had been suffering for years from
the influence Of the poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion OF the roasted berries, and
was so delighted at the recovery of his former
vigor, that in gratitude to the tree he called it
Canuah, which in Arabic signifies force And
this is the manner in which coffee was first

An English writer has recently asserted that
an undue proportion of lime in the system Is
the cause OF the premature gray hair, and adj
vses us to avoid hard water, either for drink
ing pure or when converted into tea, coffee or
soup, because hard water is always strongly
impregnated with lime. Hard water may be
softened by boiling it let it become cold, and
then use it as a beverage.
