Murder

DO you see that Young lady 2 said
friend TO us day or two ago, as he
pointed to a delicate and beautifully
dressed young female who was passing
OH the opposite side of the way.
We replied in the affirmative.
'She doesn't look much like suicide,
does she one who would deliberately
commit seli>murdcr ?
Certainly not we exclaimed.
And yet he added, sire is murder
ing herself slowly but surely every day.
She is frail, delicate creature, and not
particularly healthy at the best of times.
1t is now damp, cold, raw day, and
yet she ventures forth in thin, light
dress, with sllocs, the soles Of winch
are mol as thick as half dollar. Be-
sides this, see how she is rorsetted.
She has laced herself So that she must
breathe with the greatest difficulty.
Poor thing Ia few years longer, and
she will be numbered among the my
riads who have gone down to the grave
through the agency of that terrible dis
ease, consumption
How many arc there in Philadelphia
in the situation Of the young lady de-
scribed How many who, in yretding
TO the requirements of barbarous fa>
shion, are committing self-murder ,
How many mothers are there, who
look on quietly ami see their daughters
dedicate themselves to an early grave
How many, indeed, who assist in the
work Of death, by aifording the imple>
mcnts and engines Of destruction.

Growth and slanufacture of Ten

The tea tree we will consider as an
evergreen. and that when the picking
begins. which is about the month Of
May, it will be in full leaf and nearly
ready to shoot out again with the young
shoots. The first shoot on the bud
coming out, covered with hair, then
forms the fine ilowery Pekoe. Should
ii have few days more growth. the
hair begins to fall off, the leaf expands,
and then it becomes the Black Leaf Pc
koe. In this tree, of course. there are
some young shoots, which have more
hashy and finer lcavGs-they would
ma ke the Souchong. The next best
leaves Compoy, and the next the Con-
goue, and the refuse leaves would make
the Fokien Bohco.
Generally speaking that may be con-
sldcred as the. way in which the tea
would be mf,de. This, however, re-
lates only to the tea farmers.
Tie tea farmers pick the leaves in
this way, give them a sufficient rough>
drying, and carry them TO market,
where they are met by the tea manu-
iacturers. much in the same way as the
dairy farmers arc net in England by
the cheese and butter factors.
The manufacturers knowing the kind
of Tea that viii best suit their own manu-.
tncture, purchase from the persons
growing it, The particular kind they
| want; those they take home, and mix
so much of this kind and so much of the
cthcr, as will make the tea up to the
quality they are accustomed to make
each particular chop.
Thus it appears that all the black teas
are the produce of the same tree, taking
the trees of the same district, The ge-
neral quality will depend very much
! upon the season.
The Chinese character for Souchong
are small and heavy meaning some>
thing OF a small quantity, but very valu-
able, suppose.
Souchong is the best quality Of black
tea imported by the Company.
There is also the Powchong, which
may be selected leaves; this takes its
name from the Pow, or the parcel that
it is doubled up in.
There is also Compoy, the Chinese
characters of which are keen puncy,
which means carefully fired, or that the
process of drying has been done with a.
great deal of care; il is also sometimes
called keen sener,' or carefully select
ed. We generally reckon the Pow,
chong better than the Souchong.
Pekoe. means white hair. There are
no districts named but Twankay and
Single.

THE SEA CAPTAINS RETURN.

Captain Potter, of Newport, r. L, was a
wealthy and amiable gentleman, whose family
consisted of his wife, vino was the pattern of
virtue, and one daughter who, though very
young, exhibited the polished beauty other
mother, and the yivacity of her father. AS he
was much experienced in the business of a sea-
captain, he was offered the command of a ves-
sci, which promised great advantage, and with
great reluctance left his amiable wife and child
once more to try his fate on that element,
whose composure lures to the gates of unpro-
phetic destruction.
This voyage once completed, Capt. p deter
mined TO renounce the fai,hlcss deep forever,
for the qaict of his own fierside Previous to
his departure, he took gold ring from the fin
ger Of his wife, ard placed it on his own, say
ing, should tins return not on the same hand,
YOU may rest assured that am among the un-
confined dead of the ocean. With these words
he departed, Alas, Mrs. Potter was dootaed
10 drink deep at the fountain of wue. After
waiting the period of his expected return, she
began to gaze with anxiety on every sail that
appeared in view, and eagerly sought every
opportunity to learn from public documents
some tidings of her absent husband, or the fate
of the ship in which he sailed. But all her
efforts were Intellectual the only information
that could be, or at least ever was obtained on
the subject, was from an English vessel, which
ran thus: "May III, 1896, spoke with the
Ranger, from Newport, Capt. Potter master,
in IS degs 80 ms. W." This indefinite in
telligence was far from cheering the heavy
heart Of Mrs. Potter. When she saw others
bithe, il only reminded her of her own sadness
while others were enjoying the reciprocity of
conjugai society it pointed her to the loneli-
Bess of her own heart. While other children
were happy in the smiles of their parents, her
angelic little Mary would climb upon her knee,
and with accents that rend mothers heart,
inquire if her father would not retnrn. But
month after month wasted away; season after
season rolled their tresome wheels along, un-
til fourteen years had been added to the con-
gregated centuries of the past yet no tidings
came of Capt Il. no, not even probable
conjecture, concerning the dark mysteries OF
his fate.
Time, that changes all things, had worn a
way the acuteness of Mrs, Pot,er's grief, which
was far more intense than it would have been
had she really wept at his grave and known
that the last moments Of her husband had been
soothed by affection. As this last voyage of the
captain seemed to be to the unknown coast, she
was called the widow Potter. Having spen,
did mansion, and country seat of great value
her hand was sought by many, and as often re-
iected, until bachelor. who had resisted the
charms of woman kind fot quarter OF a cen
tury, was smitten with the loveilness of thi

possessions. She at length consented that he

MR.. CUsHING's SPEECH.

The speech of Mr.. Gushing in reply to Mr.. Inger-
soils attack upon Mr.. Webster is a magnificent vim
dcaton of the Secretary Of State and of the foreign
policy of the Administration. It, in many passages,
truly eloquent and reminds Of the happier ora
torcal displays Of Sir Robert Peel to which, in many
respects, it bears close resemblance The reor up
on the Loco Focos of Van Burens first dsrcputabe
essay in diplomacy, will tell wherever it may be read
Nothing severer could have been said; and never did
uckless party commit greater blunder than in pro-
voklng contrast between Mr.. Webster Secretary
of State and Mr.. Van Bu-en in the office
But the speech is less important for its eoquence and
Just exposure of the late Administration conspicuous
III both particulars is than for the of quar-
rel with England which it enumerates, and the lofty
American spirit with which it treats them. In this
Mr. c. doubtless utters the sentiments of the ADM

the honor and glory of the Republic in safe hands
that neither the the other will be impaired

THE EARLY DREAM.

An never another dream can be
Like that early dream of ours,
When Hope, like child, lay down to sleep
Amid the folded flowers
But Hope has Weakened since, and wept
Itself, like rainbow, away
And the flowers have faded and fallen around
We have none fol wreath to-day.
Now, Truth has taken the place Of Hope,
And our hearts are like winter hours
Little has after life been worth
That early dream of ours.
