THE DISCOVERY OF COFFEE.


Toward the middle of the fifteenth cen.
tury poor Arab was travelling in Abys-
sinia, and, finding himself weak and weary
from fatigue, he stopped near grove
Then, being in want of fuel to cook his
rice, he cut down tree which happened
to be covered with dead berries. His meal
being cooked and eaten, the traveller dis
covered that the halfburned berries were
very fragrant. He collected a number of
these, and, on crushing them with stone,
he found that their aroma increased to a
great extent. While wondering at this, be
accidentally ct fall the substance in a
can which contained his scanty supply of
water. Lo, what miracle The almost
putrid liquid 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 Arden, in
Arabia, he informed the mufti of his dis
covery. That worthy divine was an invet-
crate opium smoker, who had been suffer
ing for years from the influence of that
poisonous drug. He tried an infusion Of
the roasted berries, and was 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
was the way in which coffee was first dis
covered

TO YOUNG MEN.

The young man who has an ambition to
make a great noise Ia this world should
learn boiler making He can make more
noise at that trade than anything else he
can engage in.
If he believes man should "strike for
wages" lie should learn blacksmithing es-
pecially if he is good at blowing"
he can raise rapidly he should become an
eronaut He could not find anything bct-
ter ''for high"
He certainly can do staving (and per-
haps starying) business at the cooper
trade.
If he believes in "measures, not men"
he should embark in the tailoring business.
If the one grand object of life is to make
money he should get position In the Uni
ted States Mint.
If he is a punctual sort of chap, and
anxious to be on "time," he should put his
hands to watch making.
IF he believes in the chief end of man
to have his business largely "felt," why, OF
course, he will become halter.
Ifhe wants to aget at the root of thing
he will become a dentist-although if he
does he will be often docking down in the
mouth"
If man is bungler, at his best, he
should become physician-and then he
will have none of his bad work thrown upon
his hands. Tt is generally buried out of
sight, you know.
Should he incline into high living, but
prefer a plain board, then the carpenter
trade will suit him. He can plain board
enough at that.
If he is needy and ell-bred, he will be
right at home as baker.
+ He shouldn't become segar maker
If he does, all his work will end in smoke.
The young man who enjoys plenty ofcom-
pany and is ever ready to scrape acquaint-
ance will find the barber profession con-
genial pursuit.
The quickest way for him to ascend to
the top round of his calling is to become
hod carrier.
A very ograve young man. might -four
ish as an undertaken.
Don't learn chair making, for no matter
how we'll you please your customers they
will sooner or later get down on your work
AGd don't become an umbrella maker,
for their business is "used up"
IF he would have his work touch the
heads of the nation, we know of no way he
could sooner accomplish such an object
than by making combs.
The young man who would have the
fruits of bis labor brought before the eyes
of the people will become an optician. The
work, being easily seen through, cannot be
difficult to learn.
A man can always make scent in the
perfumery business.
If a young man is paragon of honor,
truthfulness, sobriety, has never swore
profane swear, and has twenty thousand
dollars that he has no use for-then be
should Immediately start a newspaper.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands,
They're neither white nor small,
And you, know, would.scarcely think
That they were fair at ALL
I've looked on hands whose form and line
A sculptor's dream might be,
Yet are these aged wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
Though heart were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on
That children might be glad
almost weep, as locking back
To childhood's distant day,
think how these hands rested not.
When mine were at their play.
But oh beyond this shadow land,
Where all is bright and fair,
know full well those dear old hands
Will palms of victory bear;
Where cry tai streams through endless time,
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again,
I'll clasp my mothers hands.

"It can't be possible that have been

is the story: About one o'clock to-day, a
pale and interesting young gentleman,
dressed in seedy suit Of black, came to
tee house in great haste-almost out of
breath. He said he was just from court; !;
that he was one of the clerks; that the
great villain who had the audacty to steal
your Honer's watch had just been arrested,
that the evidence was nearly perfect to
convict him, and all that was required to
complete it was the turkey, which must be
brought into court, and for that he had

A CLEVER sWINDLE.

As a certain learned Judge in Mexico,
some time since, walked one morning into
court, he thought he would examine
whether he was in time for business; and
feeling for his repeated, found it was not
in his pocket
GAS usual" said he 10 a friend who ac-

He took his seat on the bench, and
thought no more of it. The court adjourn

piece, and returning to his wife, requested
her to send for it to their chamber.
"But, my DEAR" said she, Il sent it to
you three hours ago"
"Sent it to me, my dear. Certainly not"
"Unquestionably~ = replied the lady,
"and by the person you sent for it,
"The person sent for it ?" echoed the
Judge.
Precisely, my dear, the very person
you sent for it. You had not left home
more than an hour when a well-drcssed
man knocked at the door, and asked to see
me. He brought one Of the finest turkeys

court, you met an Indian with number of

would have it killed, and put to ceol, as
you intended to invite your brother Judges
to dish of rotle tomorrow And 'Oh! (! by
the way, senora,' his excellency, the Judge,
