Corvrt. — A Brazil correspondent of the Xrw-York Journal of Commerce drives an n --ti Tilling- sketch of the history of this univer sal beverage, so popnlur nm-mg all nations, whether civilized or semi-civilized, which have become acquainted with its properties, W li*r cver it has gained n foothold its advance has born most pure. It has never made a retro gnde movement, though assailed by ecclesias tical bodies, or by colleges of physicians of everv school. Mohammedan uiuftis thunder ed anathemas against it more than three cen turies ago ; the wittiest writers of the Court <.f Louis XIV. squihhed it. The illustrious Ir. Murray, t Allopathic,) reproached coffee, when indulged in 100 freely, with producing vertigo, trembling of the limbs, cutaneous erup tions ou the fare, hysterics, hypochondria, Ac. Hahnemann, the great high priest of homoeo pathy. accuses it eveu of causing the decline of the German (his owu) race. Coffee is a native of Abyssinia, and not of Arabia, as many believe, and abounds in the province of Kaffa, whence it derives its name. The coffee tree was not transplanted from Abys sinia into Ada until the fifteenth century, when its culture was begun iu Arabia Felix, where, in the environs . f Mocha, it grows to perfec tion. The Western world learned the use of coffee from the Orientals ; but how the Orien tals learned to use it is a difficult question to solve. An Arabian author of the fifteenth oeutury records that it was a Mufti of Aden, j who, in the ninth century, was the first to use coffee. At this epoch it was already knowu in Persia, where common tradition ascribes its discovery to one Mullah Chadelly, a pious Mus selinan, who was much troubled with drowsi ness during his nocturnal meditations. He in voked Mahomet to come to his aid, who caus ed his faithful Mollah to meet with a goat herd, who led him to a roffce tree, and inform ed him that whenever his goats ate of the her rv of that tree, they paused the whole night wide awake, leaping and capering. The devout Molleh prepared an infusion or the berrr, which, after drinking, gave liitn for the whole night a most delectable state of sleeplessness. He made known his discovery, which was adopted by all the dervishes and doctors of the land, and the new beverage rnpidlv became popular over the whole Orient. There are other versions of the discovery of tin* use of coffee as beverage. It is believed that the dervishes learned the means of over coining sleep from the Oenobite Christians of Thebes and Ethiopia, who adopted the prac tice of drinking coffee. The Mohammedau priests soon became enemies of the new leve rage, however, as it led the people to forsake the mosques and flock to the coffce-houscs, and they hurled the fiercest anathemas against it, but without avail. Before the seventeenth century coffee was only known hy name in France, and it did not become fashionable until Solomon Aga, the Turkish Ambassador to the Court of Louis XIV, gave an tdal to coffee by offering it to the high-born dames of the realm. Curiosity and vanity led them to the Aga's residence, where he received them with oriental magnifi cence, and coffee wus the rage. About the same time it became a favorite in Vienna, the method of its preparation having been learned from some Turks captured in battle. Twenty years before, it was introduced into England l.y a British merchant, returned from Constan tinople. in France the coffee house became exceed ingly popular, and notwithstanding the immense •inan'.ities of wine drnnk in France, there is probably no country, except Turkey and the I'tiited States, so thoroughly given to coffee. Tea is hardly known outside the great cities. A significant index ot the universal use of cof fee is the fact that, what we call a tea-spoon, the French invariably call a coffee-spoon. Up to the 18th century all the coffee which was consumed in Europe came from Arabia, but in 109'J the Dutch introduced the plant in to Batavia, where it grew to perfection, and in f 710 a plant was sent to the botanical gar dens of Amsterdam, where it flourished. An ftffshoot was presented to Louis XIV, who sent it to the Jardeu de Plants, and it became the ancester of all the coffee plantations in the West Indies ; the French government suc ceeded, in 1820, in introducing it into Mar tinique. ft is uncertain when the eoffec plant was carried to Brazil, but uowhcrc lias its growth. Rn.l cultivation been so extensive ami my id.— There are merchants living who saw the first small cargo shipped from Bio Janeiro, and now that port is the largest coffee mart in the world. The exports from thut port, for the year end wig June .10, 1805, were 2,3;"2,284 bags, (of 100 lbs. Portuguese,) nearly one-half of which i-iamcnsc amount came ti* the United States.— Good " old washed llio " is said to be equal to the best Java. Trr: EARTH AND THE SlS.— Some German j wipers are endeavoring to prove that the dis tance between the Earth and Sun is increasing annually, and argue from it that the increas ing humidity of some summers and the loss of fertility by the earth *re to be attributed to tliis circumstance. In the course of six thou sand years from the present time they asssumc die distance will' be so great that only au eighth part of the warmth we enjoy from the Ftin, will bo communicated tii-thc earth, and it will then, be covered with ekruai ie.. We like to see a woman tread the high and holy path of duty unblinded bv sunshine and unsentrtered by storm. There are hundreds who do BO from, the cradle- to- the grave, he roines, of whom the w-oskfe has never heard,but vho>e names will be bright hereafter, eaen. be side the greatest angels. So says some author. If tlvis lie true, how is it that so- many great women arc so hid from view ? Because the bogus virtue of a bonnet or shawl has usurped the place of true virtue in the sex, and is more fashionable That's-tlic secret.

WELLES A CO. THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH, AND DIRECT &. TO-&-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE. JAMES HARRIS, ELKCTRICIAX. of Towanda. respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New Y'ork the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has proven to be one of the most "important and wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract minerals from the human system. Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco vered the process of extracting minerals from the bodv. by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New Y'ork. an electro-gilder, having suffered from the Introduction of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of bis art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered. He then applied the same means to others similarly af fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, soine of which were the result of minerals, and some were not. More recent experiment* have fully confirmed the sin gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi neral* that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often person* are afflicted by disease* which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine ral's accumulating in the system for years, taken in the shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac. The following are some of the diseases cured by these baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cholie, Clfronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer. Ncuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S. B. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND TO AND FBO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in use. With the aid of the Batli and Machine, wc have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very great, in introducing medicines into the system through the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the part* af fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all local diseases. I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at mv house in the south part of the borough of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are unable bv reason of disease to come to this place, at mo derate prices. I am also sole agent for Broifurd county, for fhe above Machines. JAMES HARRIS. To wanda. December 22, 18. L IQUOR STORE.
