claims the Lonor oil It's Introduction. lhey
were the first TO raise the Banner Of reform,
on which it has inscribed the simple words
"PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES"
The complete revolution has been the con-
sequence. Let the customers OF Tea every
where look at what we have done.
LIST. We were the first to send them Teas
that used 10 be called too good for them before.
ID. We have driven out of the market a
vast amount Of trash, and introduced better
class of Teas than has yet ever been Sold
Importers Of Tea often come TO us to get for
their own use, and for their friends, fine quail
tiles they can find no where else
Sd. We have reduced prices more than IS
per cent. both in black and green Teas
Wholesale grocers say we are running the
trade and call us hunbugs. This we have
done already, and no; see what we are ready
TO do.
LIST. We will sell Teas by single chest,
half chest, or Ia ID. box, at the same prices
that the wholesale grocers pay TO the imports
when they buy by the hundred packages.
I'd The wholesale grocers allow only Is
or at most Ia lbs. tare TO the half chest. This
is a cheat. We will allow, IN most instances,
Is or l6 lbs. tare on the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake to sell every kind
of Tea from six TO twelve cents per pound
cheaper than the wholesale grocers do.
How can we do this, ask the country mer-
chants
This is our answer. We are content with
seven per cent profit instead of rs or 80 per
cent as wholesale grocer.
We deserve the thanks of the Country mer-
chants for saving them hereafter from being
cheated. Let them come TO the Warehouse
of the PEkIN TEA COMPANY and com
pare samples of Tea they get elsewhere and
ifihey buy bad Teas then, at high prices, it is
their own fault.
An English importer lately boosted TO us
that he could make more money by sending
bad Teas to the New York market than on
good Teas. We are resolved to overthrow
this fraud and now call upon agents in eve
ny town in the U. States to come forward and
buy the Teas imported by the PEKlN TEA
COMPANY and we pledge ourselves: that
in six months if they do not sell more Tea
than the Oldest and largest dealers in the town,
we will give them our tea without any charge.
This is plain English and cannot be misunder-
stood. We appeal for testimony to the i'm
mense success Of our Agents in any part of
the U. States.
o. Agents WANTED in every town in the
United States for the sale of these Teas, by
which they can make money, and confer a
benefit upon the public by supplying the pure
article.

5 NO KING.

'Tis charming oh, It's beautiful!
In the calm OF even tide,
To see me in the freshening air,
BY the open window wide;
To spend an hour Of ecstaey,
While putting my cigar,
And watch the gay fantastic smoke
Curl upwards to the stars
In rings, and wreathes, and spiral gay,
Each bcauteous cloud escapes;
As spirits in the ether blue,
Float up the fairy shapes
And breathing my .sars perfume,
New beauties fan the air,
Whose spiral forms waf, away
In company with care
And as ] smoke, seem TO soar
In dreamy realms away,
And fancy wcaves full many tale
That never secs the day:
Let troubling thoughts Of earth be gone,
And Danish sorrow far
Be this the time 10 love and dream,
While smoking my cigar
'Tis truthful though It's fancful
The moral ] would weave
But shall be like this cigar,
When death shall bid me leave
Like that free smoke, my soul win soar
Up 10 the realms Of blue,
And Wondering dust, like ashes be
Earth's only relic due

EXTERNAL REMEDIES W.ERE. III
H.Ix.S E,RESCRIBED.

In the Revelations made by the Author of
the Jewish Scripture through Moses, large
number of diseases are mentioned, among
which are named many of the worst kinds OF
external and internal maladies which prevail
at the present time, such as Consumption,
Fever, Inflammation, Hemorrhoids, or Piles
(called in the Bible "Emerods,"O Seals,
Scabs, Boils, Itch, Leprosy Residential Plaques,
Corruption of the Blood, and Rottenness in
the Bones, ulcers in the knees and in the
legs, from the sole of the foot unto the top OF
the head" Diseases of the Brain, the Eyes,
Heart and Bowels-Dysentary being called
in Scripture, the ''Bloody Flux, with ma
nv others. Yet for all these diseases, most OF
which are Internal and deep seated.
THE ONLY REMEDIES PRESCRL
BED BY DTtLNE INSPIRATION
WERE EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
such as Water, Wine, Pouluce of Figs.
Sc, but GENERALLY, and in the WORST CASES
A PREPARED OIL OR OINTMENT,
The means recommended by the All-wise
Physician TO llezekiah, when brought by dis
ease TO the gates OF the grave, was simply a
Poul,ce of Figs. Water alone was the means
by the Divine mercy, of curing Naaman OF
Leprosy The "Balm OF Gilead," an oily or
unctuous substance used externally, was
another remedy extensively employed by the
ancient people of God Wine and oil were
poured into the wounds of the man who had
fallen among thieves, by the good Samaritan :
and the inspired apostle James says, is any
"sick among you? let him call for the Elders
of the Church; and let them pray over him,
.a.NOLNTTyNiG HIN NTH OIL, in the
name Of the Lord, and the Lord shall raise
him up"
While it is undoubtedly true, that mirac-
ulous influence accompanied the use of the
means employed in most of the above cases,
yet the means were not WOR1I4LESS-
were not without effect and the MAN
.NER, the MODE in which they were used,
shows that the Divine Physician always pre-
scrbed and the Divine Blessing, which res
tored health, always accompanied.
EXTERNAL APPLICATION MERELY.
WHY, therefore, should not the Divine bles
sing. at the present time, be more apt to at
tend the use of the same kinds and mode Of
administering medicines than 10 their oppo-
sites ? Why should we doubt the the perfect
ability and adaptation Of EXTERNAL
MEANS TO the cure Of INTERNAL DIS
EASES, when the Almighty and Allwist
CREATOR enjoined and used them for tins
very purpose, and recommended no other
o. The above Ointment can be purchased
from the Agents,
