“But, mother, Jane Bates borrowed the money 
to go. Air. Watson lent it to her.”

Know, nearly eight years, and she. was so careful 
she was sure to pay it back. Mr. Watson was sure 
he could trust. Jake. 1 ’ 
“ Well, couldn’t 1 be careful and steady, too ?” 
“ But you might be taken sick.” 
“ So Jane might, mother.” 
" Oh, no danger of Jane ; 6he had always been 
stout and hardy: she wus a working woman.” 
“But, mother, Mr. Watson couldn’t be sure 
Jane might not die for all that.” 
“No, of course. Still, he could consider his 
money very safe in Jane’s hands. Any way, Mag¬ 
gie, you wouldn’t like to borrow, or ask, of Mr. 
Watson.” 
“ No, I don’t like him: he is proud of his riches, 
and overbearing.” 
“And those you do like haven’t the money to 
lend you. Besides, these are war times, and one 
could have borrowed, or even begged the money, 
at the time Jane went to California, ten times more 
easily than now.” 
“ Now, ma, 1 am not going to let you discourage 
me. I’ve thought of a rich man whom I do like— 
Judge Welles.” 
“He a kind man,” she said, relenting a little; 
“but still, I know he wouldn’t throw away money 
like that 1 am sure of it.” 
“ But, mother, only let me ask him 
no harm, at least” 
“ He would think me foolish, Maggie, to let you 
go to him on such an errand.” 
“1 will tell him, though, that you think it’s all 
nonsense, and that it’s all my own doings. Only 
let me try.” 
Mother smiled. “Well, try, then,” 6he said;

BY LEWIS DATTON BURUICK 
Anothbb day forever gone! 
How many hopes have fled 1 
Hopes brightest at the morning’s dawn,— 
Now doubt and Tear instead. 
How swiftly glide the moments by 1 
One glance around we cast,— 
We give a laugh, or heave a sigh, 
And Present turns to Past. 
What threatening dangers, though concealed 
From us but yesterday, 
O fleeting Day, thou hart revealed. 
To shade our future way. 
There is no passing hour, but swelle 
The cares of mortal life; 
And all experience but tells 
How vain is earthly strife. 
Yet, doing bravely, one by one, 
Our tasks, we flud that in 
The consciousness of duty done 
Our sweetest joys begin. 
lu addition to these large cargoes of Black and Japan Teas, 
the Company are consnicily receiving large invoices of the 
tinest quality of Green Teas from the Moytinc district of Chi¬ 
na, which are unrivaled lor fineness and delicacy of lUvor. 
To give our readers an Idea of the profits which have been 
made in the Tea trade bufore the establishment of TukGukxt 
Amjskioam Tea Compaxv, we will start with the American 
houses, leaving out of the account entirely the profits of the 
Chinese factors. 
1st. The American house in China or Japan makes large 
profits on their sales or shipments— and some of the richest 
retired merchants in the country have made their Immense 
fortunes through their houses in China. 
2d. The Banker makes large profits upon the foreign ex¬ 
change used in tlio purchase of Teas. 
3d. The Impoitcr makes a prollt of SO to SO per cent, in 
many cases. 
4th. Ou its arrival here it is sold by tbe cargo, and the Pur¬ 
chaser sellB it to the Speculator in Invoices of 1000 to 2000 
packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent. 
5th. The Speculator sells it to the Wholesale Tea Dealer in 
lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. 
6 th. The Wholesale Tea Dealer sells it to tbe Wholesale 
Grocer in lots to suit Us trade, at a pioflt of about 10 per 
cent. 
7th. The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the Retail Dealer at a 
profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 
8 th. The Retailer sells it to tbe Consumer for all the 
1’ROFIT HE CAN OUT. 
When you have added to these eight profits as many bro¬ 
kerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, and add 
the original cost or Tea, It will be perceived what the con¬ 
sumer had to pay. And now we propose to show why we 
ran sell so very much lower than other dealers, 
We propose to do away with all these various profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, with 
the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to 
our correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and a 
small profit to ourselves—which, on our large sales, will 
amply pay us. 
By our system of supplying Clubs throughout tbe country, 
consumers in all pnrt 6 of the United States can receive their 
Teas at, the same price (With the small additional expense of 
transportation,) as though they bought them at our ware¬ 
houses in this city. 
For manner of getting up Clubs, see former advertisement 
in this paper. 
Parties sending Club or other orders for less than thirty 
dollars had better send Poet-Oflice Drafts or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express ; 
but larger orders we will forward by express, to collect on 
delivery. 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
parly getting up the Clnb. Our profits are smalt, but we 
will be as liberal as we csd afford. Wc send no complimen¬ 
tary package for Clubs less than *50. 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely upon 
gettlug them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our Warehouses. 
We warrant ail the goods we sell to give entire satisfac¬ 
tion. if they are not satisfactory they can be returned at 
our expense within 30 days, and have the money relnnded. 
The Company have selected the following kinds frum their 
stock, which they recommend to meet the wants of Clubs. 
They are sold at cargo prices, the same as the Company sell 
them in New York, as tbe list of prices will show.

this title should have been “ Imaginary Travels,” or 
“ JourneyB in Anticipation,” but. neither would have, 
beeu strictly correct. They were not entirely imag¬ 
inary travels, because 1 Loped, very toon, to make 
them real, and thought 1 had reason for so doing; 
neither were they, strictly epcakiDg, anticipated ; as, 
for instance, one expects to eat when he sits down 
to a well-spread table. Hope did not bring her dainty 
table quite so near; she Only hovered at a respectful 
distance, like the coquette she 5s; lovely, bewitch¬ 
ing, tantalizing, as she so well knows how to be; 
holding out a cup to me filled with a eparkling Cali¬ 
fornia nectar, and when 1 approached her—but I 
will tell you all about it. 
It was the spring of 1861. The war cloud had 
risen; the tocsin sounded to arms; the war fever 
filled every heart and brain. Confusion rode ram¬ 
pant, — reigned triumphant; wild excitement held 
gay jubilee. There was preparation for war, of 
which term scarce one in ten thousand knew the 
meaning. There was breaking up of households, 
severing of old associations, distress and dismay 
generally. 
Amid all this I left school and went ont to seek 
my fortune as a teacher. A very brilliant fortune in 
that line, at such a time, I did not expect to find ; ] 
when schools were breaking up, the youug men 
going to war, their sif ters to work for them at home, 
and teachers, by hundreds, returning home from the 
South. Indeed, 1 very soon became so hopele«6 of 
obtaining any kind of a situation, that it was with a 
weary discouragement at my heart I saw the May 
and June day6 pass by, their verdure and their 
beauty, their light, and their joy giving me, for the 
first time, no pleasure, but a nameless pain. It 
would have pleased me better, 1 believe, if that 
spring had come clothed in dark clouds, her fair hair 
concealed, mourning winds crying for her, tbe heav¬ 
ens dropping teats. Why not, when, abroad and at 
home, Sorrow and Terror made havoc of their vic¬ 
tims? So heartless seemed those long, brilliant, 
sunny days. 
June came, rosy and fair, and one evening 1 stood 
at the door while mother 6at just inside, altering 
and refitting my one mnslin dress, a sad, patient 
look on her face. For she was a widow, aud we 
were poor; and Alice and Mary must stay at 
school at least another year; and wc had hoped 
that this summer 1 would have earned, O, so much 
money! As 1 stood there watching the young J line 
moon sailing grandly up the sky. passing through 
clouds, but emerging from them, beating them back, 
and going proudly ou her way, — a sweet glow of 
hope came into my heart; 1 hardly know from 
whence,—I think from the moon, (by tbe way, 
Bister Mary says there is no man in the moon, it is 
a woman's face,) for as 6he (the woman, you know,) 
careered on, over and past all dark obstructions, ra¬ 
diating them all from her own sweet face, a happy 
thought came to me: — “How triumphantly she 
marches on, conquering everything! I will —I will 
do the same. 1 will not be overcome by circum¬ 
stances. And where is she going? Tp the Far 
West, to the .Pacific. I will go there, too—to the 
golden West, to California, where—above all other 
places in America — they need teachers; where they 
pay such fabulous salaries.” 
Faster and faster my pulses beat and my heart 
throbbed, as one glowing thought and bright fancy 
succeeded another, and o’ertopped it, like waves on 
a beach, each one bright-capped aud shining. More 
swiftly than any swell of tbe sea, these thoughts 
came and went, like rays of light. I gave the moon 
another look, and turned to mother. 
“Ma, I will tell you what I will do." 
“Well, dear, 1 wish before you do anything else

CHAPTER II. 
The next morning, not a word said I of Califor¬ 
nia,—but when Alice and Mary had gone to school, 
aud mother to spend the day with a sick woman, i 
Rlipped down the street to Judge Welles’. He 
lived in the large white house on the corner. Be¬ 
hind it the Itudsou river goes winding ori it* shiuing 
way, and in front there is a yard full of green elms. 
The Judge’s office— a small, one-story briek—is on 
a grass-plat outside the yard. 1 knew that little 
Freddie Welles had gone to his grandmother’s 
for the summer, and that, consequently, there was 
no one iu the house but old Mrs. Olay, the house¬ 
keeper, and perhaps her little niece. Therefore 1 
directed my steps to the smaller building, hoping 
that, as it was so early, I might find the Judge 
alone. Lie was alone, or nearly so, as only one 
clerk sat at a desk, writing. 1 did not notice par¬ 
ticularly at the time, but 1 remembered afterwards 
that ihe Judge did not appear at all surprised to sec 
me. I was too much embarrassed then to notice, 
but recollected when after events Brought it all 
bade to me, that he received me that morning as 
one he had been expecting to see, even more kindly 
and cordially than was ki& wont. He shook hand*, 
and invited me to be seated, then opened con versa 
tion himself. Just here, let me tell you a little 
more about, him. 
At the age of thirty-five he was elected to the 
office he now held; and all at once,—for he hod 
never seemed to give the subject a thought before 
—all at once he made up his mind to marry. Well, 
he was still comparatively young, rich, in high sta¬ 
tion, generous, and benevolent, a thought l oo quiet, 
hut that is a. good fault,—on the whole, and to speak 
in our very vulgar parlance, a “most splendid 
catch," if he could only be caught. But—to our 
infinite surprise—what aid he do, but, passing by 
all our village belles and beauties, go away to Illi¬ 
nois , where we hadn’t even the consolation of know¬ 
ing that he had ever been in his life before, aud re¬ 
turn in a few weeks with Ills bride! And such a 
bride!—a woman at least. ix feet, high, (lie was five 
feet uioe inches;) large iu proportion, (some mali¬ 
cious person said that the shoemaker hadn't a last 
large enough for her foot, and had to make a new 
one;) homely—not a pretty feature,—(she had a 
dazzling, clear, white skin, though,) and thirty 
years old! Well, wasn’t there a sensation ! 
The first Sunday the Judge made his appearance 
with his wife, the church he attended,—our large, 
Methodist church,—was crowded and crammed, to 
get a sight of her. General Grant himself, not 
mentioning smaller Generals, never caused as great 
a sensation in so small a circle. 1 remember poor 
Mary’s pink lawn that she had ironed with such 
pains ou Saturday, was ail wrinkled and “ mussed 
up”—uol lit to be seen—she was so crowded. My 
French gingham escaped better, and, any way, 1 am 
not very particular about my clothes—not nearly as 
•and 1 didn’t care; I was too

much amused to think about lawn or gingham. 1 
hadn’t been in love with either the Judge or his 
money, though 1 liked him very much; and I really 
enjoyed the disappointment of some of the other 
girls,—both young and old,—und their utterly be¬ 
wildered looks when they saw the lady of his choice. 
Oh! she was "so big,” and "so homely,” aud “so 
odd-looking!” “How uulike tihride! ” “Is she 
rich ? she must he rich ; he has married her lor her 
money.” Bat no; we found ont soon that she 
wasn’t even rich, but that she was something better 
— good, a thorough Christian, broad, sweet, rieh- 
natured, lovable, refined, and intellectual, too. We 
i all came to lovelier in spite of ourselves,—to love 
her most tenderly, and to resent any slighting word 
east at her as we would one against on r own mother, 
like had not been a month in the village before she 
had won every heart by her overflowing, affectionate 
goodness. To go to Mis. Wellus', to show every¬ 
thing to Mrs. Welles, to ask Mis, Welles’ opinion
