How COFFEE WAS DIsCoVERED.-We
read quaint story concerning the discovery
of this favorite beverage. Toward the middle
ofthe fifteenth century poor Arab was trav-
cling in Abyssinia, and, finding himself weak
and weary from fatigue, he stopped near a
grove. Then, being in want of fuel to cook
his rice. he cut down tree which happened
to be covered with dead berries His 'nealebe-
ing cooked and eaten, the traveller discOy red
that the half-burned berries were very fra
grant. He collected a number of t.ese, and,
on crushing them with a stone, he found
that their aroma increased to a great extent
While wondering at this he accidentally let
Iall the substance in a can which contained
his scanty supply of water. Lo, what miracle
The almost putridliquid was instantly purified.
He brought it to his lips, it was fresh, agree
able, and in moment after the traveller had
so far recovered his strength and energy as to
be able to resume his journey. The lucky
Arab gathered as many berries as he could,
and, having arrived at Arjne in Arabia, he
informed the multi of his discovery That
worthy divine was an inveterate opium smO-
ker, who had been suffering for years from
the inffuance of that poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted berries, and
wos so delighted at the recovery of his own
vigor, that in gratitude to the tree he called
it cahuah, which in Arabic signifies force.
And that is the way in which coffee was dis
covered. How many thirsty Christians bless
the memory of their Arabian benefactor dur
ing these sultry days, when thirst seems al
most Quenchless!
