Tliis Is* coxnblnatlonof capltalistslto supply the 
consumers of Teas throughout tho United States on 
the mutual principle. 
Wo have experienced agents in all the best dis¬ 
tricts of China and Japan to select Teas especially 
for our trade. 
We expect every consumer of Teas *o render ns a«l 
the assistance they can In carrying out our enter¬ 
prise, as we make a specialty of SUPPLYING CON¬ 
SUMERS ONLY (and allow no middlemen to make 
any proat on our Importations), wniok will enable 
us to supply them with Teas at prices lower than 
have ever been known, and of those fine quulitie 
tlitt seldom teach the interior, being sold only to 
the large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Hoping the consumer will take an interest in our 
enterprise, and send at once for a circular with full 
explanations of how to proceed to obtain our goods, 
we remain, 
Most respectfully yours,

TEE REASON WHY 
It was not that 1 loved her overmuch 
That made our parting bitter; 
It was not ror the softness of her touch, 
Or her eyes’s glitter. 
It was not that her cheek was rosy fair, 
OrsmootU as any peaches; 
It was not that she had such lots of hair 
As black as leeches. 
It was not for the cunning hat she wore. 
All flowers and lacn and leather. 
It was not that, though temperauce to the core 
Wo smiled together. 
'Twas not that when we parted her small hand 
Waved an adieu—1 did not discern It: 
'Twas that she borrowed my umbrella, and 
Did not return It.

belles can’t. 
What Is the next thing to a hen stealing?— 
Why, a cock robin, of course. 
An old man says, “Were It not for pretty 
darters, Cupid would have no darts. 
Why Is a dlshouest bankrupt like an honest 
poor man—Because both fall to get rich. 
Why did Othello live in Venice and not In 
Rome? Bsoiuse he was Moor at home there. 
ARE your words of more weight when you 
propound anything than when you announce 
It? 
The cry “ Oo West,” lias changed. An edito¬ 
rial article In a Western paper is headed “ Hop 
Yoast.” 
“ To Ue about a man never hurts him, but to 
tell the truth about him sometimes does.”— 
Josh Billings. 
You w ill frequently hear a man say that he 
does not like pastry and yet he has a Anger in

When a man to whom you lend money says 
he will be Indebted to you forever, you may 
believe him, my boy.

A YOUNG In ly asked a book-store clerk, the

“The prisoner at the bar seenu to have a 
very smooth face,” said a spectator to the .1 sli¬ 
er. “ Yes," replied the jailer, “ he was ironed 
before he was brought lu.” 
A man whoso appearance indicated that he 
had Lad a glass too much, being asked if he 
Was a Son of Temperance, replied—“ No—no 
relation (hie)-not even an acquaintance!” 
“ Yes, air," promptly replied the boy us the 
grooer asked him If he wanted anything. I 
want two ounces of ki and pepper.” “ K1 ? 
lil?” queired tho astonished man. “Yes, sir; 
mother told me to get kl and pepper here.”
