Our “belter half, J Vwho is a con* rioisseur in’ such matters, pronounces them all excel loot,, in which opinion wo fully acquicfee. , Tea is a beverage fit for the gods ; it soothes tha troubled spirit and.invigorates tho body. Whilst it gently enlivens and stimulates, it does not “steal away (he •cases.” At the evening meal, it is celebrated as a promotirof good feeling and friendly gossip, panic ul »rly among tho ladies. Call, therefore, at Woods’s Store, and judge for yourselves, by testing the merits qf his Teas. Another Mauxotii.—Major A. A.
