DRsTRuCTIoS OF THE TEA AT GREESwIcn.
The destruction Of the tea at Boston is ia
tniar TO all. 1t is not SO generally known
that we had in New Jersey a little affair of
our own, OF the same kind. The captains of
the tea ships, destined for Philadelphia. did
not deem it safe to land their eargoes there,
and most of them returned to England
One. however, in the brig Greyhound, ven
tared up the Cohancey, and discharged at
Greenwich. quiet little village in the County
OF Cumberland, where a popular outbreak
was never dreamed Of The tea was landed
without resistance, and deposited in the cell
lar oil house fronting the market place
But on the 22nd of November 1874. about 40
men assembled in the dusk of the evening.
deliberately took possession OF the tea, re-
moved the chests from the cellar, piled them
up in an adjoining field, and made bon fire
of them.
We are indebted to one of our venerable
vice presidents, Col. Robert G. johnson, for
the names of many of these ardent and reso-
lutte patriots. One of chem was the late Eb-
enezer Elmer, father Of the Hon. Lucius O.
I. Elmer, of Bridgetown another was Rich
ard Howell, afterwards Governor of the state;
third was James Ewing, father of the dis
tinguished Chief Justice of New Jersey: and
fourth was the Rev. Andrew Hunt-a man
as distinguished for his piety as his patriot
ism. and who was chaplain in tine Ameri-
can army during the whole of the Revolution
airy war. His second wife was the daughter
of Richard Stocton. the signer Of the Decla-
ton of independence; and one of his SOM be-
came Attorney General OF the state.
Suits were brought in the Supreme Court.
by the owners of the tea, for the recovery of
damages, against those who bad been con-
cerned in the destruction of it but the wings
of the country held meeting and resolved
that funds should De raised for the purpose of
defending the actions. Joseph Reed and
Charles Petit, of P Philadelphia. were employ
ed by The owners of the tea and Joseph
Bloomfield, afterward Governor Of New ler-
sey, Elias Boudinot, of Elizabeth town. JON
athan Dickinson, Sergeant of Philadelphia,
and George Read, of New Castle, were re-
tanned on behalf of the defendants. The suits
however, were never brought to trial. The
plaintiffs being non-residents, rule was OBJ
tanned to file security for costs, and no far
ther proceedings appear to have been taken
At the next term of the Oyer and Termin-
er, for the county of Cumberland, Chief Jus
tlce Smyth presided and it was probably
the last opportunity he had of making a dis
play of his loyalty from the tench He en-
weighed with much severity against the ''wan-
ton waste OF property" aud the hagrsnt breach
of the peace which had been committed;
and charged the grand jury strongly on the
subject. But the wings of Cumberland were
as infiexible as those of Essex. The grand
jury came into Court without bringing in any
bills He sent them out a second time, but
they still refused to find any Indictment.

THE NEW YEARS GLASS.
BY T. s. ARTHUR.


&C So you refuse glass of wine with me
this New Years morning, Mr.. Carl!'' said
a fair lady, and very young, to youth of not
more than nineteen.
" Nay, beg pardon!" answered the youth.
: 1t was among my mothers solemn warnings:
and perhaps have peculiar reason--. -
The young man hesitated and blushed
" Ha ha ha!' laughed some companions
gazing upon the confused youth as each held
glass of wine in his hand.
Miss Lyons, the young lady in question re-
Marked \ GU are very excusabe, Mr.. Carl;
but yet, if you will" she added with her
sweetest smile, and stretching forth small
waiter toward him, ''we should be pleased to
have you join u.s.
The young man ventured to raise his eyes.
The gaze Of the whole group was rivited up
on him. a lovely woman bent upon him
her smile and bewitching glance, while in
her hand she held the beguiIing cup. The
blood tingIed in the youths cheek. g Sweet
tempter,' he inaudibly whispered, and the
glass was in his hand.
g. Compliments of the seasonr' re-echoed
from each one Of the happy group, and every
glass was emptied. The youth had broken
the ice. and resisted no more.
g Come! We have hundred calls to make
to day. said his companions and amid
scrapes. and bows, and fattering words, they
departed.
That night Mr.. Carl was carried to the sta
uon-house, raving mad man from the effects
of wine. Six years have scarce elapsed, and
he lies Wondering in the dust-a victim of
delirium tremens,an the New YEARS GLASS.

PAULINE.
A Historic sketch
By PERCY B. ST. JOHN.

Pauline was an orphan adopted by som,
worthy citizen Of the Rue st. Honore, Paris
who, having brought her up to the age o
sixteen, had placed her in his shop-a per
fume warehouse-to dispense his goods a
the counter. Women in France are al.
most universally the practical heads oil
commercial establishments. The master oil
the house, when he does not lounge away
in cafe, play billiards or cards half the
day, or walk about like one living on his
means, is contented to occupy a digni6ed
and retired position, attending, not to sales,
but to wholesale purchases. But such was
not the case with NJ. Boulard, the adopted
father OF Pauline. Both he and his wife
shared the lsbors OF the shop together; he
keeping the books, while Pauline and Mad
anne Boulard attended to the details. The
young girl was very pretty and very mod.
est, and her presence contributed not little
TO the success OF the business. The good
couple, having nc children Of their own,
had manifested their intention OF making
Pauline their heiress, and this added to the
charm which hung over the perfumer's
store.
Pauline had many lovers. great many,
as young ladies who are pretty, modest, and
virtuous, are apt to have, especially when
rich; for although the world is not hslf so
selfish and wicked as certain persons fancy,
yet grain Of interested love will always
peep out among the truest suitors. Two
lovers were chiefly assiduous in their atten.
tons: the one, rich shopkeeper of the
same street; the other, poor frotteur.-
Both were young, ;olerably good-looking.
and very devoted in their attachment; and
il would have been hard to say which was
most deserving. But Monsieur Alexis La
paraut was nch, and Jean Provost was
poor. Ii will readily be understood that
the parents Of Pauline would not have hes
itated in their choice; but they knew only

ed. The good Boulards were highly fiat

him with a smile. The frotteur-one who

in the exercise Of bis trade. He always
bowed low to Pauline, and asked her how

received. Jean was also q commissioners, |

It was very short time after, when M

Louis XIV. received the Lieutenant, and

In fact they parted only when at eight
O'Clock, the monarch went into the hall OF
Treaties to receive the respectful homage OF
all the foreign ambassadors, princes, and
courtiers, wlo on this occasion were all re.
ceived in state. The Lieutenant of police
joined Jean Provost, guarded in a private
chamber by two ezempts, and sat down to
a hurried meal, in which he invited the
frotteur to join him without ceremony.
Meanwhile Louis XIV. had entered he

The king, who, despite his frivolity, had
great courage, and fund of good sense,
which, with other education, would have
made him a different man, was by no means
