Mr. Fowre,
If you think the following Lines upon the
Use of Tea worthy a Place in your valu
able Colleétion, byinferting them in your
next, you will oblige a Customer.
X,
ROUSE ev’ry generous thoughtful Mind,
The rising gan er flee ;
1t you would lasting %“recdom find,
Now then abandon TEA,
11.
Scorn to be bound with golden Chains,
‘Though they allure the gight ;
Bid them Defiance if they claim
Our Freedom and Birth-Right,
111.
Shall we our Freedom give away,
And all our Comfort Place,
In drinking of outlandifth TEA,
Only to please our Taste.
2. <
Forbid it Heaven, let us be wife,
And seek our Country’s Good ;
Nor ever let 2 Thought arise, _
T'hat T'ea thould be our Food.®
V.
Since we so great a Plenty have,
Of all that’s for our Health ;
Shall we that baleful Herb receive,
Impoverifthing our \%elalth,
When we survey the breathless Corpse,
With putrid Matter fill’d ;
For crawling Worms a {weet Resort,
By us reputed ill.
. VII. '
Noxious Effluvia fending out,
From it’s pernicious Store,
Not only from the foaming Mouth,
But ev'ry lifelefs Pore.
VIILI.
T'o view the fame enrol’d in TEA,
Befmear’d with such Perfumes,
And then the Herb sent o’er the Sea,
To us it tainted comes.
IX.
Some of it tinctur’d with the Filth
Of Carcades embalm’d ;
‘T'atte of this Herb then if thou wilt,
Sure me it cafinot charm,
X. |
Adieu, away O TEA be gone,
Salute our Taste no more ;
‘Though thou art coveted by some,
Who're deftin’'d to be poor.

Mr. Fowle,
S the Town of Boston is unive:fally allowed to be fuffer
ing for ALL AMERICA, and as every Government on
the Continent are contributing for the Suppost of the Poor of
that patriotic Town, it is earnestly reccommended that a general
Colle@ion be made throughout this Province, for the fame
crLorlous Purpose, that our Enemies may fee, when the Con
flitutional Liberties and Priviledges of any one Place is attacked,
we will give them every Relief in our Power. The Spirit of
Unanimity is gone forth and spread itfslf upon the Face of all
America, and all the Powers on Earth cannot break the Chain
of Union that is now formed and forming j it firengthens more
by the Opposition of our Opprefiors.---The Mode of colle€ting
this Charity, may be confideted of by each Town : It is pro
p fed that every Donation should be fcnt in Provision ; there
fore those who cannot give in Money, may give in Corn, &c.
and when colle€ted may then advise with their Brethren of the
neighbouring Towns, Onxen, Hogs, Sheep, and every kind of
Provision will be acceptable, PUBLICUS,.

M: Pricter,
The {s!low:ng Obletvatians and Ca'cu’ations on the
Use of TEA, from Dr. Lett/ome's Account of Ihe
Tea Tree, ardit's medicinal Qnalities delerves the
particuiar Aitentien of every AMERICAN, and ie
therelore recemmendad for a Place in yourPeper:
AN ingenicus Author observes that as much fuper
fluous Meney is expecded on 7va ard Sugar in
this Kingdem as would meintsin FOUR MILLI
ONS more of §ubjefls in Bread. And the Auihor
of the Farmer’s Lettors ca'calates that the Entertain
ment of sipping Tea cufls the Poor cach Time as
foilows. The Tea e— 3 4ths of a Farthieg,
The Sugar ~— 1 half 8 Farthing.
The Buiter ——~ 1 Penny.
The Fue! & Wear
of Tes Equipage 1 4th of 8 Farthing.
Total 2 Pence half Penay Sterling.
¢ When Teas is drack twice a 2 Day the annue! Ex
penee ameunts to £ 7 15 g 4. pr. head, and the fame
judicicus Writer eftimsates the Bread neceflary for s
Labourer’s Family of Five Persons st £ 14 15 94
per annum ; by which it appears that the yearly Lix
peoce of Tes, Sugar, &c. for rws Persons cxceeds
that of the neccflary Articie of Bread {uflic'ent for a
Family of five Perlons. ]
¢lt appears also from a moderate Calcalstion that
THREE MILLION Pounds of TEA, are aanuvaily
consumed in Dnglead ; and dom:ftic Experience
teaches us that with each Pourd of Tea ten Psunde
of Butter st iexft are consumed — Hence the Con
sumption as Butter, with this irjurigus Ailment, ( if
Aiment it may be cailled smounts anaualiy to the
amazing Qusniity of Vbirty Millicns of Pounds. It
is likewise to bs premised that at least five Gallins
of Mik nre neceflary to precure ene Peund es But
ter. This being granted we may conc'ude further.
““ Suppefe ane Ga'len of Mik with Iread would
foffice three labouring Fesp'e for Breakiaft and Sup
per, and that these twe Meals conflitute Half of their
Faed, as (@' .cw:, that from this fsthisnabieCeftom of

bitamts ta jive in a more fimp'e Manner by at lesit
ore Miliion. Rut fuppifi~rg we allow ha'f a Millien
for Bread eaten with the Mik, aad for the Ules of

Deficicacy still amouats to the amazing Number of
