CHEAT AND GROW RICH.
Jun 25--

rTNHIS has been the the secret principle Of too ma
nv of the wholesale dealers in Teas up to hi.
time, and they have pracsed the most shameful i'm
position on the Country Merchant without any icar
OF detection. But new era in the Tea rae has
come and the Pekin Tea Company claims the ho..or
of its introduction They were the first to raise the
banner Of Reform on which il has inscribed the sim
pie words
ssPURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES
A complete revolution has been the consequence.
Let consumers Of Tea everywhere look at what we
have done.
list. We were tho first 10 send them Teas that
used to bc called too good for them before.
ID. We have driven out the market q vast amount
of trssh and intro laced better class of Teas than
has ever yet been odd Importers Of Tea often como
TO us to get for their use, and for their friends,
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
Sd. We have reduced prices moro than IS per
cent, both in Black and Green Teas. The whole
sale grocers say we are running the trade and call
us humbugs. This VIC have done already, and now
see what wc are ready to do.
LIST. We will sell Teas by the single chest, hall
chest or IA pound box al the same prices that whole
sale grocers pay to the importers when they buy by
tho hundred packages.
3D. The wholesale grocels allow only Is or at
most IA pounds tare to the half chest. This is q
cheat We allow in most instances, 10 and 10 lbs
tare on The same.
3d. We hereby undertake to sell every kind Of
Tea, from from sir TO tDelue cents per pound chea-
per than the wholesale grocers do
How can we do this asks the country merchant
This is our answer. We are content with seven
per cent profit instead Of % and SO per cent, a Ia
wholesale grocer.
We deserve the Il anks of the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated. Let
them come to the Warehouse Of the Pekin Tea Com
pany, and compare samples Of Tea they get else
where and if they buy bad Teas then at high prices
it is their own fault
An Englieh importer lately boosted to us that he
could make more money by s.nding bad Teas to tho
New York Market than on god Teas. We are
resolved to overthrow this fraud; and now call upon
agents in every town in the United States to come
forward and buy Teas Imported by the Pekn Tea
Company /; and we pledge ourselves, that If in six
months they do not sell more Tea than the Oldest
and agest dealers in the town, we will give them
our Tea without charge. This is plain English and
canno, be misunderstood. We sppealfor tmony 70
the immense success Of our Agents in any part Of
the United States.
IFAgents wanted in every town in the United
States for the sale Of these Teas, by which they can
make money, and confer beneft upon the Public
by supplying The pure article.

The following extract from "A Sketch o.
Assam" just published, will show that the
marriage customs Of tile Assamese have many
curious points Of similarity to those Of the pa
trarchs described in the Pentateuch:
Jacob served Laban as a servant or bonds
man many years 10 obtain in marriage Leah
and Rachel, who were sisters; and he was not
allowed TO marry the younger before the elder.
So in Assam man may marry two sisters,
but he must not marry the elder before the
younger. II is not uncommon, when man
is poverty stricken. to engage to live and work
for several years for the father OF the girl he
wishes 10 marry. He is then called a Chaps
unea-a kind of bondsman-and is entitled to
receive bhat kupper, food and clothing, hut no
wages; and, at the expiration Of the period Of
servitude, if the girl does not dislike him, the
marriage takes place. The man is looked on
in the family as a khanu damad Cor son-n-law, J
and is treated kindly. IfthegirPs father be very
wealthy, and he has no sons, he will sometimes
select, from some equally respectable fam
ly, husband for his daughter, and bring him
up in his own house. The youth so selected
is likewise called Chapnnea, and inheriis the
whole of his faiher-in laws property. If a
woman's husband dies, though she may be
only eighteen or twenty years of age, she can
never marry again"

MrtGrmnd's Logic.-The discursive twaddle
Of our friend Grund 10 the Baltimore Sun, UNI
der the signature Of x would be excessively
amusing, were il not for the pompous solemn
ty with which his crude r,iaiseries are uttered
forth to mislead the ignorant and unreAecting
A day or two since he announced, with four

love of mingling the agreeable with the useful,
the departure Of Mr. Buchanan tor the South,
Gold Point Comfort! y in order TO be nearer the
seat Of ,car, 10 the event of peace. How per-
fectly ridiculous! Mr.. B. leaves Washington,
where he is within two or three minutes OF
communication with Richmond by telegraph,
and goes to Old Point, The most direct. and
most speedy intercourse with which, so far as
our army is concerned, is through that city, 10
be nearer the seat Of war! In other words to
facilitate his communication with the South,
he gets further off by, we believe, twen.y-lour
hours, reference being had TO the route the news
must travel. Again X intimales that as Mr..
B. has gone to the South. we must have peace
making the one thing the necessary conse
quence Of the other. Now we know friend
Buck is big man, and would be an "ugly
customer" for any common Mexican single
handed. but no body ever dreamed that by going
about two hundred miles nearer, he would
bring the entire astec Empire TO terms, Herr

Parasols IN the Dra,oing Room.-The intro
duction of gas light into private houses has
been taken advantage of by the ladies, who
under pretext against the glare and dazzling
observation-disclosures of such bright lights, DELHI
erately spread parasols in an evening soiree,
and Gncidenlal advantage converse under and
behind the same very agreeably. A pink par
asol judiciously held between lady's face and
gas burners, throws tender, rosea,e hue
over the complexion, and can be dexterously
maneuvred, Of course, to curtail an annoying
perspective or furnish glances in effective mo-
nopoly to the privileged.

The Wuy to Heaven. How poor you are if
you have no heaven but this world. You have
nothing but little part Of this clod OF earth.
and what is il all worth? you have little
moro land than your neighbors, or if you are
in a way 10 make more money than others, If
your accommodations are better than others,
and you have more worldly conveniences and
pleasures than others, or if you are promoted
little higher among men than some others are,
what poor portion is this and how miserable
are you who have no better happiness that you
can call your own? How happy do these
things make you 2 What satisfaction do these
things give you? Are such things as these
the rivers Of pleasure that you choose for
your portion 0 how miserable! When a
few days are passed, you must go to the grave,
and into eternity, and then how wretched are
you, if, when you have done with worldly en-
joymen,. il may be said that you have received
no consolation!

The President at The Capitol Ground We
do not remember when we have been so much
grat6ed as we were last evening in meeting
with the President in the west grounds of the
Capitol. He was accompanied by his adopted
son and walked briskly throughout the grounds
stopping 10 drink out Of the common iron COB
let at the spring near the southwest entrance
and cordially returning the sautes of his fellow
citizens. This unrestrained Intercourse Of the
Chief Magistrate with the people and his I'M
DESTINATIONS appearance in public are one Of the
richest fruits Of our republication system. So,
may it ever bel
