THE OLD CELLAR DOOR.
Hjw sweet to remember the pleasure gone by,
The time of our boyhood and glee ;
What bo om but swells with a half choking sigh
When in fancy our young haunts we see?
But sweetest and dearest of all to the heart,
When night throws her shadows before,
Aic those days which we spent with juvenile
art,
Sliding down on the Old Cellar Door.
How brightly it shone in the gay summer sun,
How sweetly it smiled at our side ;
And the nails seemed to laugh and encourage
the fun,
As over their smooth heads we glide :
They, too. oft deceived us, and stayed our ca
jcer—
Oft our trowsers maliciously tore ;
Turned our joy to distress, and our smile to a
tear—
Those nails in the Old Cellar Door.
What is life but a door leading on to the grave,
O’er which we unthinkingly ride?
The nails are its troubles and trials j the pave
The place where those troubles subside }
The sexton’s the Dutchman who drove us away,
And often indignantly swore,
And menaced the‘fellers’that gathered to play
And slide on his Old Cellar Door.
Coffee Drinking.—At the time when
Columbus discovered America, coffee had
never been known or used. It only grew
in Arabia and Ethiopia. The discovery
of its use, as e drink, is ascribed to the su
perior of a monastery in Arabia, who, de
sirous of preventing the monks from sleep
ing at their nocturnal services, made them
drink tho infusion of collee, upon the re
port of some shepherds, who observed that
their flocks were more lively after brows
ing on the fruit of that plant. Its reputa
tion rapidly spread through the adjaceut
couuiries, anu in nuoui iwu uuuuicu yuuia
it reached Paris. A single plant, carried
there in the year 1514, became the parent
stock of all the coffee plantations in the
West Indies. The extent of its consump
tion now can hardly be realized. The
United States alone annually consumes
from fourteen to fifteen millions of dollars’
worth of the article. The Arabia or Mo
cha coffee, which is the best variety, may
be known by its small bean and dark color.
The Java and East India, which is the
next in quality, has a larger bean, and is
of a pale yellow hue. The West India
and Rio Janeiro varieties have a blue,
greenish gray tint. — [Florida Informer.
