It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant practitioners have as serted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard Their assertions are false, as thousands of living witnesses (from their own experience) can hear witness. But many will say, how arc we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious? It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the linir and beard are en tirely worthless, and yon may have already thrown away large amounts in their purchase.

Fifty Cents to One Dollar per Pound Sav ed by Buying your Teas direct from the Importers. T. Y. RKT.T.K V & CO., Importers of Teas, in connection wltli tlieir large wholesale business, have determined to introduce their Teas directly to consumers at importers' prices, thus effecting a saving to the consumer o I 40 to CO per cent. Families can now club together for any kind or qualities of Teas, tn packages of one pound and upwards, and we will send them a superior article of Tea at 5 per cent, above the cost of Importation. Let some energetic lady or other person tn each neighborhood call upon tier acquaintances and take their orders for any of the folio-v --ing named Teas, and w hen a club of ten, twenty, or more is obtained, send to us and we will send the Teas put up in separate packages, with the name of each person marked on it. all enclosed in one box. As a FURTHER INDUCEMENT to the person getting up the club we will send for his or her services, an extra complimentary package on nil or ders of S3O and upward. It is perhaps not well understood' WHY we can sell teas so very low; but when it is taken into consideration that besides the original cost of impor tation. the Broker, Speculator, Jobber, Wholesale Dealer and Retailer, has each to reap a large profit and the innu merable Cartages, Cooperages, Insurances. Storages. 4c., which teas have to pass through before they reach the consumer, will read'ly explain this. We propose to do away with seven-eights of these profits aud expenses, and I It now remains with Hie PEOPLE to say whether they shall save 50 cents to 81.00 per pound on every pound of Tea they purchase, or be compelled to give their earnings to a host of useless go-betweens. PEDLARS and SMALL DEALERS wishing Teas to sell again, can be accommodated with small packages to suit their trade, hilt no reduction can be made, as these are our wholesale prices. PRICE LIST.

Vol. LVII. No. 11. A Thirty Thousand Dollar Jot). Tho head clerk ot a large firm in Charlestown promised an old customer, one day, half a bale of .Russia duck to be on hand precisely at ono o'clock, whon the man was to leave town with his goods. The firm wero out of duck, and the clerk went over to Boston to buy some. Not finding a truckman, ho hired a man to take it over on his wheelbarrow. Finishing other busi ness, on his return to Charlestown, the clerk found tho man not half way over the bridge, sitting on his barrow, half dead with heat. What was to be done ? It was then half past twelve, and tho goods wero promised at one. There was not a moment to lose. In spite of tho heat, the dust, and his fine light summer clothes, the young man seized the wheelbarrow and pushed on. Pretty soon a rich merchant, whom the young man knew very well, riding on horseback, overtook him ' What,' said he,' Mr. Wilder turned truckman?' 'Yes,' answered tho clerk. 'The | goods are promised at one o'clock, and my man has given out; but you see I am determined to bo as good as my word.' ' Good bye !' said tho gentleman, and started on. Calling at the store where tho young man was employed, he told his em ployer what ho had seen, 'And I want you to tell him.' said the gentleman, ' that when ho goes into business for himself, my name is at his service for thirty thousand dollars.' Reaching the store, which ho did in time, you may bo sure the high price set on his conduct made amends for the heat, anxiety, and fatigue of the job. Keeping his word. You see how im portant it is regarded. It is one of the best kinds of capital a business man can have. To be worth much to anybody, a boy must form a character for reliability. Ho must bo depended upon. And you will like to know per haps that this young man becamo ono ot the most eminent merchants of his day, known far and wide, both in Eu rope and this country. His name was S. V. S. Wilder, and ho was tho first President of the American Tract Soci ety. — Exchange. What a Squirrel Did. We cut the following from the New buryport Herald : ' A gentleman from Newbury treated us the other day to some walnuts, which wo should, per haps, have refused, on the principle that the receiver is as bad as the thief, had wo known where they were ob tained before it was too late. They were part of the store of a striped squirrel, which he had laid up in a hol low tree. There were in all five quarts, which he had carried up one by one, from a tree an eighth of a mile distant. The holo ran into the tree in a hori zontal direction, so that its capacity would have" been very small, as tho nuts would have rolled out without some modification in its arrangement, which Mr. Bunny proceeded to mako with a good deal of architectural skill, his movements being daily watched by our informant. Ho first built up a breastwork of clay, sticks, nutshells and other rubbish at the mouth of his magazine, an inch or two high, and then filled it up with his provisions, till it would hold no more. He then added another course of mason work and another deposit of nuts, add so on till at tho time of the vandal's raid on the little fellow's commissariat, tho wall was about a foot high. The pec ulation was considered justifiable on the ground that man was created lord over all tho beasts of tho field, and that it was no worse to mako a squirrel work for him than to make a horse or an ox do it. Besides, our friend kind ly gave the fourdegged slave his time for tho rest of the season, and in a week or two ho had laid in a new sup ply for himself and family.' Honey Ant of Texas. A Texas paper of a late date, speak ing of the lioney Ant, says: I Wo have often heard of the < honey ant' of Tex as, but the account seeming so roman tic, we have hardly been able to credit it, but as we now have a specimen be fore as furnished by our friend Leo Smith, of this city we can no longer have any doubts on the subject. These ants are a medium size between the large and small red ants, and are of a reddish and brown color. Appended to the rear of each one, is a translucent sack or globe filled with pure, clear honey of a most delicious flavor. These sacks vary in size on different ants— ranging between the size of a buckshot and a navy pistol ball. On this sack, at short interval, are attached thin layers about the length and width of half a grain of rice, and of a dark color evidently to strengthen it and keep it in shape, lheso interesting animals when they crawl draw their delicious load after them, and if the sacks are [Se last page.)
