A Fatal Walking Match.

From the New Haven Union,
Frederick Pewtress. the seven.year.old
son of S. L. Pewtress, of Fair Haven,
joined, with number of other small boys,
in walking match. They went among
the pines near the Pewtress factory, where
they marked out a kind of track. The
little fellows stripped off their outer gar.
ments and removed their shoes. Pewtres'
took chill while eoverheated with exercise
and the cold settled in his bowels, pro.
ducing an acute inflammation, which ter
minated in death,

THE SERENADE.

oh! he was as gay rs the birds of Spring,
As gay as the bthesome quail
And he biached his boots, and he shaved his fac
And he donned his swallOw-tai.
Oh! he took from the peg his sweet guitar,
As sweet as the maple-sap;
He kissed his haud to the Evening Star,
Nor dreamed he CT mishar.
Oh the maiden slept In the third-hoor front,
She slept with peaceful snore;
But the minstrel came with his wild guitar,
And sang hi. lay galore.
Oh! the maiden woke with frlghtful scream,
She called for her dear papa;
For she didn't know that the horrid noise
Was made by sweet guitar.
Oh the old man shouldered his cross-cut saw,
He looscd his bulldog grim,
And he cast one look at the aad-eyed youth,
And he shot at his eye.ball-biml
oh! the morrow dawned on an awful scene-
Sing hey to the Morning Star!
For al that WAS left of the sad-eyed youth
We're the strings Of his sweet guitar.

Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan have poach-
ed upon several literary manors in seeking
game for their libretto and music of "pin-
afore," but they would scarcely be sus-
pected of poaching upon Blackstone for a
comic chorus. Yet that famous jurist-
upon whom the Tribune poached for a mis-
application of the word ''coparcener in
the twelfth chapter Of his second book
says: IAN estate is held in coparcenery
at common law where person seized Ia

or more females-his daughters, sisters,
aunts and cousins-in which case all shall

Concerning Tea.

The addition of a few drops of lemon
juice, or any other vegetable acid, renders
tea more exciting; and this custom pre-.
walls among poor Chinese and many Rus
slams. The addition of an alkali, on the
contrary, makes tea less stimulating, and
in some measure narcotical In the east
some drugs are put into tea to give it
aphrodisiacle qualities. Tea excltes the
movements of the heart less than coffee, is
less hostile to sleep, and is less fit to sus-
tain intellectual labor; but more than
coffee it increases the eliminative activi-
ty OF the skin in respiration. In many
persons tea produces an astringent effect
on the lntestines and troublesome con-
stipation. The addition of few drops OF
generous wine can prevent the wakeful-
ness which tea causes. More than every
thing, experience availeth to indicate to
any one whether, from the state OF his
nerves, his brain or his digestion, he ought
to prefer tea or coffee. In every fashion
it seems to be proved that, after dinner,
the Chinese leaf ought to be preferred to
the Abyssinian berry. In very cold coun-
tries and on very cold days and conse-
quently with supreme reason in the Arctic
zone-tea is the best of drinks, as all
travellers have demonstrated. DR.. Kane
did not hesitate to call tea the great
panacea of Arctic travel" The excessive
use of tea, especially of green tea, pro-
duces obstinate wakefulness. nervous
tremblings, convulsions, cramps of the
stomach, palpitation of the heart, and so

The suicide of Martin Arndt. at the
Douglas Monument Sunday night, revealed
one of the saddest cases of misfortune and
encouragement often brought before the
public eye. His business was pressing
linen coats, and by working ten hours and
walking FIVE miles each dav, Arndt could
earn $3.50 per week. He supported a
family on this plttance, and finaIly, in a
moment OF supreme assurance, had the
temerity to ask for half cent per garment
more than be had been receiving. This
request was granted for one lot, but
Immediately afterward another man
offered to do the work at the old price and
ArBdt was thereupon discharged He
tried to got employment elsewhere, but
could not, and believing if he died, even
by his own hand, that his family would
receive several hundred dollars from a
society to which he belonged, he blew out
his brains. 1t is rarely that more sor-
rowful case is presented. and it suggests,
nay compels. the reflection whether there
is not something radically wrong in sys-
tenn that produces such tragedies. Let
those who are in the habit of spending
tens and hundreds of dollars for the SIM
plest pleasures think for moment of this
poor workman-honest, sober, Industrious
who struggles ob month after month
and who finally comes to the conclusion
that there is no room for him on this
eartA because he loses place worth less
than FIVE dollars a week to him We are
all accustomed to rail at fortune more OF
less, and bemoan the lack of riches, but
how all idle complaints are hushed into
silence for very shame before this specta
ole. How many more such cases are there
