CONNECTICUT ELECTION. - Connecticut
holds an election for State officers and Con-
gressmen April 9Th, Both parties have put
forward their best men, and the result is I'M
certain. The Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor was elected last year by 1,s99 MAORI
ty, and in 1878 by over 5000 majority. So
it is evident the Republicans have work be-
fore them. Up 1867 the State had an un-
broken succession OF Republican Governors.
Since that time The Democrats have elected
five and the Republicans four candidates.
The present Congressional delegation con-
sists of three Republicans and one Democrat.
1t is not improbable the Democrats may
gain one member in the Second district, KEEL
logg (Republican) having hecn elected by
only rs majority in 1878.

often inconsderate. They had not been
married a year, when one day, in fit of
hasty wrath, he said to his wife:
81 want no correction from you. Ifyou
are not satisfied with my conduct. you can
return to your home whence | took you
and find happiness with your kind"
"lf | leave you" returned the unhappy
wife, "will you give me back that which
| brought to you p
Every dollar. | covet not your
wealth, you shall have it all back"
"Ah !" she answered, 81 mean not the
wealth Of gold. | thought not of dress
| mean my maiden heart-my first and
only love-my buoyant hopes, and the
promised blessings of my womanhood.
Can you give these TO me? ?"
A moment of thought-of convusion--
and then taking her to his arms:
No. no, my wife, can not do that,
but | will do more will keep them
henceiorth unsullicd and unpained. |
cherish your blessings as my own; and
never again, God helping me will for
get the pledge | gave at the holy altar
when you gave your peace aud happiness
to my keeping

many of the bitter strifes of domestic life
might be avoided by remembering and

Why Tea and Coffee are I'm
wholesome Beverages.

l. Their employment as beverages is
useless habit,
2, They are poisonous. Every pound
OF tea contains one.fourth Of pound of a
poison called fannie acid 1t contains,
in addition, from half an ounce to an
ounce Of theme, a poison that is fatal in
any but very small doses, few grains
causing speedy death. The same is true
OF coffee.
3, They are medicines, All medicines
are poisons, according to medical authori.
ty, and are always productive Of disease,
When coffee was first introduced, it was
first of all sold by tobacco merchant as
"panacea for all Diseases"
a. They produce many painful, chronic,
and sometimes incurabe diseases.
Here are few Of the diseases resulting
from the use of tea, coffee, chocolate, and
similar beverages. Nervousness, sleep
lessness, hypochondriasis, sick. headache,
insanity, tremens, commissions, paralysis,
insensibility, torpidity aud congestion of
the liver, vertigo, palpitation of the heart
tawny and torpid skin, consumption and
other lung diseases, all sorts OF nervous
diseases, decay Of the teeth, loss of sense
Of taste, constipation, diarrhea, hemor.
rholds, dyspepsia, general muscular and
nervous debility, epilepsy, cancer, and
defective circulation,
B. The use of these articles encourages
gossip and scandal by exciting the mind
to an unnatural degree, and SO leading to
unguarded and thoughtless assertions and
remarks.
g. They are among the chief causes OF
intemperance, for they foster and encour.
age the desire for stimulation. which al
ways increases with qualification.
I. A large proportion OF all the tea
and coffee is dangerously poisoned by
adulteration with numerous injurious
articles. PruSSian Jlue is common in
tea, and Venetian red and other coloriDg
matters in coffee
The following result Of an analysis ol
adnlterated tea which is given by DR..
Smith in his work on "Foods,' is a fair
illustration Iron, plumbago, chalk
China clay sand, Prussian blue, turmeric,
indigo, starch, gypsum, cutechu, gum, the
leaves Of the camelia, savangua, Chlor.
anthuS o6icinalis, elm, oak, willow, pop.
lar, elder, beech, hawthorn, and sloe."
During the single month Of July, 1872
1S3,0O0,O00 lbs, of tea passed through
the English custom'houses, of which TO-.
100000 lbs. were found so badly adul
terated as to be entirely unsafe for use
One specimen was nearly half iron, which
vas separated by means of magnet.
s. Especially injurious is the influence
Of tea and coffee upon children. Wher
the habit Of using these articles is MOI
contracted until adult age, their banefu
influence is soon and painfully apparent
But when children are allowed to indulge
it, is injurious influence is increased
many fold. The physical development il
dwarled. The mind is stunted and stu
pefed. IIealthfal beauty and youthful
freshness and elasticity are obliterated
and If the poor victim survives adolos
cence, it is only as mental and physica
dwarf, a chronic dyspeptic, nervous, ir
ritable, suffering invalid-Heahh Msti
