THE THRIVING FAMILY-A SONG.
RI MRS. L. sIGoURNET.
Ou: father lives in Washington,
And has world Of cares,
But gives his children each farm.
Enough for them and theirs,-
Full thirty wel-grown sons has he,
A numerous race indeed,
Married aud settled, all, dye see,
With boys and girls to feed.
And if we wisely till our lands,
We're sure to earn living,
And have penny, too, to spare,
For spending or for giving.
A thriving family are we,
No lordIing need deride US.
For we know how to use our hands,
And in our wits we pride US:
Hail, brothers, hail.
Let noueht on earth divide US.
Some of us dare the sharp northeast,
Some. clover fields are moving;
And others tend the cotton plants
That keep the looms a-going
Some build and steer the white-winged ships
And few in speed can mate them
While others rear the corn and wheat,
Or grind the flour to freight them.
And if our neighbors DER the sea,
Have e'er an empty larder,
To send loaf their babes to cheer,
Well work little harder.
No old nobility have we,
No tyraLtking to ride US;
Our Sages ia the Capitol
Enact the laws that guide Us:
Hail, brothers, hail.
Let nought on earth divide US.
Some faults we have-we can't deny
A foible, here and there;
But other households have the same,
And so veil not despair.
Twill do no good to fume and frown,
And call hard names, you see,
And 'twere burning shame to part
So fine family.
IT'S tut waste of time TO fret,
Since Nature made US one,
For every quarrel cuts thread
That heaIthful love has spun.
So draw the cords of union fast,
Whatever may be;ide US;
And closer cling through every blast,
For many storm has tried US:
Hail brothers. hail
Let nought on earth divide US!

The TILE Of Czar.-The orthography of
this word has so varied OF late, as to deserve
n moments attention. Formerly j, was al
ways written car; but the custom OF tar, or
tsar, has been gradually gaining ground, as
being the only form which truly represents
the Russian pronunciation. The Poles write
it car, hut pronounce it tsar like the Russian,
their being equivalent to is, not as with lis
to k. The French now write tsar, but pro-
nounce il gar; the Germans can only express
the word by character which has harsh
sound, composed of and g united.
1t has been pretty generally received that
the word car is an genealogical abbrevatioH
of the word Cesar, emperor. But fatal OBJ
lection is met with TO this etymology, in the
old Sclavonc version of the New Testament,
where the title of Caesar, is always represen-
ted by Kessar or Kecar, while that Of tsar is
simply given to kings.
Peter the Great acknowledged the difference
between tsar and Cesar, BY substituting the
title Of Cesarcvna TO that OF tsarevna, which
had been given, up 10 that period, to the roy
al princesses Catherine II. first adopted
the title of cesarevtch for the heir-presump-
tive. This termination OF witch mot WITT nor
wciz) in the feminine evna, or ovna, is pa
tronymic.-Bdnker's Mdga= zine.

!. Cheat and grow rich.

TE Ills has been The secret principle Of TOO
IL many ofthe W!hoIesale Dealers in Tea
up 10 this lime, and they have practised The
mast shameful imposition OH the country mer
chant, without any fear of deiectiou. But
new era in the trade has come: and the
Pekn Tea Company claims the honor Of its
introduction. They were the first 10 raise the
Bunner OF. Reform, on which it hns inscribed
the simple words, s3.<-..s
aPURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES"
A complete revolution has been the conse.
qnence. Let colisnmers7of Tea everywhere
look at what we have done.
I. We were the first to send them Teas that
used.to be called ,on good for them mibefore.,
9. We have driven out of the market vast
amount of trash ,and introduced abeller class Of
Teas than has yet ever been sold. Importers
Of Tea often come TO is to get for their own
use. and for their friends, the fine qualities they
can find no where else.
g. We have reduced prices more than 25'
per cent both in Black and Green Teas. The
whole sale grocers say we are rni''ing the
trade, and call us hnmbugs. This we have
done already, and now see what we are ready
10 do.
1. We will sell Teas by the single chest, half
chest, or IA lbs. box, at the same price that
wholesale grocers pay to the importers when
they buy by the bundled packages.
2. The wholesale grocers always allows Is
or ii lbs. tare to the half chest This is cheat!
We will allow. in most instances, Is Lr l6 lhs.
tare oil the same.
3. We hereby undertake TO sell every kind
Of Teo from sir to t,0sire cents per pound elea-
per than the wholesale gr6cers do.
"Hnw can you do lhis'" asks the country
merchant. This is onr answer. We are con-.
tent with Z per cent. profit, instead OFFS and
so per cent. a la wholesale grocers.
An English Importer lately boasted TO us that
he could make more money by sending bad
Teas to the New York market than good Teas.
We are resolved to overthrow this fraud, and
now call llupon agents in every town in the
United Stries tn come forward and bny the
Teas imported by the Pckin Tea Company;
and we pledge ourselves that ifin six months
they do not sell more Ten than the oldest and
largest dealers in the town. we will give them
onr Tea without charge. This is plain Eng
lish. and cannot be misunderstood. We ap-
peal for testimony TO the immense success of
our Agents in every part of the United States.
Agents wanted in every part of the United
States, for the sale of those Teas by which
they can make money, and confer benefit on
the public by supplying the pure article.
