Chicago Inter Ocean.


A Cleveland paper, writing upon matri
mony. makes the following estimates Of ex-
p~ns.:
"The wedding expense proper, including
$40 to III. minister, would he S332.7J, and
then 800 nust b- allowed FIR bridal tour.
and $50 for furnitur. after the return. Thu
expenses Of living are then estimsied ~ 81,
300 per snnuin, and altogether Ii is conclnd
ed thss no yoang man; should think Of get
ting married unless he hes NJ least $1,000 in
cash aud an income " 81 500 or more"
Ii Is just such ideas of extravaganza that
have prevented many young men from set
thing down TO married life, and, Is result,
has worked their ruin. The Idea that q
young man "must have $1,000 cash aud All
Income of $500 or xore,' is vicious non
sense. Nine-tenths 81 the men who fill the
most exalted stations In life to-day had NO
such amounts To begin with. They married
for love, and. were brave and manly enough
to believe that strong arms, active brains
and honest Purposes would enable them te
battle with life and win. Leglons Of them
have done 50, and they can today look back
ward and say success was dneas much, oil
more. TO their wives ~ to themselves.
A young man rarely saves much money
until he marries. The false notions Of life
and the desire for style In dress, and the ef
fort TO move In stony society" which seems
10 have such power over young people, are
grievous evils Of our period. Look In any
eli, and any community for the leading met
Of business, of the professions or Of the arts
where ave they from? Did they "hsv,
$1,000 cash and an income Of 1880 OF
m,rea" II Is safe TO say that nine .tenths o.
them we're married In comparative poverty
and had only the broad firm foundation d
their own brains and energies for future pos
terity laid "a start upon. When : man hal
his profession or business or art well Ia mins
aud hand, III he 10 sober and rrssonsbls dis
Greet. he has every reason to believe In IN
furr sueeess. and has . right 10 ask som,
g.od Girl 10 share his fortune and help hin
earn the prize ~ the future. The thousand
or good eirlsin every community are read,
aud capable ~ Just such aid. The genera
prosperity % the entire country makes tn
opening year, 1882, good period to beg,l
life. ITO marry for love and work 10
riches" Is . good maxim for young people 4
bear In mind.

Tea Brokerage In New York.
N. y. Corr. Troy Times.

N. \. Corr. Troy fHnss
The tea brokers in this city have formed
an association and will soon organize an ex-
change after the custom OF other guilds.
The tea brokerage business was begun in
small way forty years ago, and has been
const antly increasing until Ii has become an
immense specially. The commission ID
half cent pound, and the smallest amount
thai broker will sell Is FIVE packages. He
obi aims samples from the importer snd gives
his customer MI opportunity Of carefully
testing the article. Hence in . tea brokers
ofice The kettle IL always boiling and the
center table has Its extended array Of tea
cups The drawing is carefully weighed,
and for one cup must turn ssilyer hslf-dime,
this being the usual weight. Generally =
score Of samples are tested at the same
time I'm order to make comparison. The
tea trades first try the aroma and then sip

ever. will not only designate the price, but
often specify the part Of China In which the

others all 1t oncs display skill. COED

ment, because tea appeals to the nervous
system, and the business II, therefore. one In
which the latter ID severely tried and IS
sometimes shattered.
Tea brokers are sometimes obliged 10 taste
900 samples day, and during the business
season 200 Ii the average. One reason for
this excess Ii found In the fact that broker
may he employed to bny the entire stock of
some imppr ant house. Hence he must ex-
rreise great care; but while he makes large
profits his health suffers 10 corresponding
degree. The cons' ant effect u such slim

The system BY inhaling and also BY the
mucous membrane. and lastly by the stom-
sch. The result. - has been stated, Is DIS

quences being varied according to personal
idiosyncrasies. They are, however, ii

medical record. The tee broker must also
