Sassafras tea has been used for

THE non-use of tea calls to the
l. Ramblers mind the action of the
First Continental Congress at Phila-
delphia in September and October,
1774. That Congress not only urged
the non-use of imported tea, but also
many other things. Some time,
when the matter of a boycott against
a nation comes up in conversation, it
might be useful to know that we boy
cotted Great Britain to the best of
our ability. This matter is of course
little dim in your memory, and the
Rambler will remind you that that Con-
gress was of the opinion that a nom
importa ton, nom consumption and nom
expectation agreement faithfully ad-
hered to. will prove the most speedy
effectual and peaceable measure; and
therefore we do. for ourselves and
the inha bitants of the several COL

agree and associate, under the sacred
ties of virtue, honour and love of our
