The great
AMERICAN TEA COMPANY,
51 Vesey Street, New York ;
Since its organization, has created a now era in the
history of
Wholesaling Teas in this Country.
They have introducei their selections of Teas, and
are selling them at not over Two Cents (.02 Cents)
per pound above Cost, never deviating from the ONE
PRICE asked.
Another peoaliarity of the company is that their
TEA TASTER not only devotes his time to the selec
tion of their Teas as to quality, value, and particu
lar styles for particular localities of country, but he
helps the TEA buyer to choose out of their enormous
stock such TEAS as are best adapted to his peculiar
wants, and not only this, but points out .to him the
best bargains. It is easy to see the incalculable ad
vantage a TEA BUYER has in this establishment over
all others. If he is no judge of TEA, or the MAESZT.
if his time is valuable, he has an the benefits of a well
organized system of doing business, of an immense
capital, of the judgment of a professional Tea:Taster,
and the knowledge of superior salesmen.
This enables all Tea buyers—no matter if they
are thousands of miles from this market—to pur
chase on as good terms here as the New York mer
chants
Parties can order Teas and will he served by us
as well as though they came themselves,, being sure
to get original packages. true weigitts and tares;
and the Teas are warranted as represented.
We issue a Price List of the Company's Teas,
which will be sent to all who order it; comprising
Hyson, Young- Ryson, Imperial, Gun
powder, Twankay and Skin.

Japan Tea of every description, colored and uncolored
This list has emelt kind of Tea divided into Four
Classes. namely: CARGO, high CARGO, FINE,
FINEST, that every one may understand, from de
scription and the prices annexed that the Company
are determined to undersell the whole Pea trade.
We guarantee to sell all our Teas at not over
TWO CENTS (.02 Cents) per pound above cost; be
lieving this to be attractive to the many who have
heretofore been paying Enormous Profits.

"An opportunity like this doesn't come to a
man every clay. Go in, and win ; that is my
advice."
The speaker was past middle age; and be
who listened had. made the record of about an
equal number of years in his Book of Life.
"The stock will double on its present quota
tion in less than sixty days, Mr. Cushing,"
pursued the speaker, with ardor. "I've given
you a hint of what is doing, and a hint only;
but, take my word for it, the stock will go
up' like a balloon It's down to twenty now;
but it will range between the thirties and for
ties in a month."
"And go down faster than it went up, Mr
Slocum," was answered.
Mr. Slocum shrugged 'his shoulders, and
looked arch and knowin ,,
"Of course, you'll be out of danger. Fore
warned, forearmed. It's a fancy,' I !mow.—
But there's a game up, and I happen to have
seeu the winning cards. Take ten thousand
dollars of this stock now, and in thirty days
you may sell out at fifteen or twenty thousand.
The thing's as sure as death. There's not a
particle of risk. The stock's been at twenty
for the last year, and can't get below that
figure. You can sell at twenty-five or thirty,
while it's on the rising numbers, if you don't
care to wait longer for higher chances."
"If I understand you," said Mr. Cushing,
"there is no solid basis fOr the anticipated
rise."
"None at all ; but that's no concern of your's
or mine. We don't operate for a rise; but
only take advantage of what we know is going
to be."
"After sixty days the stock will fall."
"Yes ; and then stand from under, is the
word. You may not find me the owner of a
share."
''Somebody will lose."
"Of 'course."
"And be swindled, of course," said Mr.
Cushing.;
"You may call it by what name you please.
But that isn't the question now. Go in and
win's the word."
"This winning, I think you said, just new,
was as sure as death ?"
"Death sure, Mr. Cushing!"
"The remark has set me to thinking, Mr.
Slocum."
"All , What of your thoughts ?"
"There is-a last time coming for us all."
"So the preachers say." Mr. Slocum shrug
,
ged his , shoulders, in a way peculiar to him
self.
"When some of, the 'fancies' will rule at
very low ..figures, I apprehend. For one, I
should not like to hold them largely. I'm
afraid their value would be light among the
treasures we ire commanded to lay up in hea-
ven."
"You're too serious, Mr. Cushing. I don't
see what this going in on a rising market has
to do with treasures in heaven. We're not
talking about dying, but living. The stock
will move'up in spite of any thing you or I
can dog and for the life of me, I can't see
where the harm is in takium adVatitan - e of a
rise." -

ST REITBRN RAINBOW
Come, sinful debtor in whose breast
Some conscience may revolve,
Come, with your coward fear oppress'd,
And make this wise resolve:
I'll seek the printer, though my debts
Do like a mountain rise ;
I know his wants, I'll pay him off,
Whatever else defies.'
Perhaps he may take my excuse—
Perhaps believe I lie ;
But. if I perish will pay,
And thus his thoughts defy.
Straightway I'll to his sanctum go
And seek him face to face;
I'll over fork the "tin" that's due,
And thank him for his grace.
Although ashamed thus late to go,
I am resolved to try ;
For, if I stay away, I know
In infamy I'll dis.
I know his patient nature well—
Delinquents he'll forgive;
He'll kindly pardon debtors' sins,
And bid Suck suppliants live.

IN THE LAST TIME,
BY T. S. ARTHUR
GREENCASTLE, PA., TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 18G4.
"All that I would gain, somebody else must
lose," said Mr. Cushing.
"Of course."
Mr. Cushing shook his head. "It won't
suit me, friend Slocum. I. should be certain
to hear of some duped and unfortunate loser on
the very stock I sold as a fair article, when I
knew it to be valueless above a certain rate.—
If I were to buy at twenty, I'm afraid my con
science would never permit me to sell at thirty
or forty, when I knew the purchaser would be
swindled out of half his, money."
"You're , too squeamish, Mr. Cushing ! I
call myself an, honest man, and a Christian
man also. And for the life of me, I can't see
any harm in taking advantage of a rising stock,
'fancy' or no 'fancy.'"
"Excuse me, Mr. Slocum," said the other,
"but your remark about being a Christian man
leads me to say, that I'm afraid. Christianity
hangs very lightly on the conscience of a stock
speculator.",
"Did you never speculate in stocks,.Mr.
Cushing?" The interrogator frowned a little.
He felt the remark as rather personal.
"Yes."
"What- about the Christianity, of your con
science, ha ?"
"It hung too lightly, sir; too lightly. I've
gone in, a few times, on the rising market, and
won. But for every dollar gained, I made a
loss in another direction."
"Ah ! That was unfortunate."
"So I felt it to be."
"You had one consolation, Mr. Cushing."
"W hat ?" • .
"The stock speculations saved you."
"How so ?"
"Of course, the.misfortunes you speak - . of,
had no connexion with them ; so what you
lost by one hand, you made up with the other."
"On the contrary, Mr. Slocum, they were
intimately connected; and the losses were in
consequence of the speculations."
"That's a little remarkable.!"
"But ne less true, sir."
"What was the nature of these losses r
"There are two kinds of riches, Mr. Slocum
earthly riches and heavenly riches. Gold and
good. I gained gold and lost good. In secur
ing earthly treasure, I laid up jut so much
less of treasure in heaveu."
"I can't understand why,, Mr. Cushing,—
You don't, cheat anybody. Speculation is
neither robbing mar, stealing. The article is in
market, and you buy at current quotations.—
When a rise takes place, you sell. It may
happen, and • often does, that the price falls,
and then you lose. You have adverse as well
as favorable chances. The thing is all open to
the day."
"Gambling, sir; mere gambling," answered
Mr. Cushing. "A strife to gain what others
may lose, not a system of reciprocal benefits,
which is the Christian law of social life. It
is founded in au intense and eager selfishness,
that will not wait for the slow returns of use
ful work : It helps nobody; and generally
hurts everybody whom it may happen to reach.
Money, where it does not come as a gift or
benefaction, should always represent a useful
equivalent. It is a sign of value. But, when
it would possess my neighbor's money without
a fair return, then, am I not covetous ? Do I
not desire his goed ? Am I not violating a
divine commandment ? The agriculturist, the
manufacturer,. the merchant, the artisan, and
all who are engaged in productive work or
useful • employments, serve the common good,-
and become sharers, by virtue of this service,
in the commonwealth ; but the speculator, like
a tumor in the body, draws in the rich blood,
and gives *back nothing but fever, unhealthy
excitement, disturbance of the useful functions
and pain. That tumor, sir, is no part of the
true body of society, and it will be extirpated
in the last time. It may grow, as other evil
things grow here, but its life is, opposite to
heavenly life, and it will not be found in
heaven."
"You are too serious altogether," Mr. Slo
cum made answer. "This is an extreme and
abstract view— more ethical than practical."
"Than -practical ! Why, my dear sir ! the
evil consequences of what I am condemning,
all right thinking men see and deplore. The
causes lie, as ,I have intimated, in an intense
and eager , selfishness, that grasps for gold as
the robber grasps for plunder. Neither the
speculator nor the robber cares for others; he
does not gain by work, production, or benefit
of any kind, and take his money as the rewar4
of things useful; but by the law of force or
artifice. Is it not so.? Think I"
Mr. Slocum was silent.
"There is a.last.time for us all my friend "
said 3.1 r. Cushing, speaking eveu more seriously
""~'~'.. f~ n,~'""
then before; "a last time that is sure to come.
You and I have stepped across the line of mid
dle age. I will be fifty in a month ; and - you
have already accomplished the half century.
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty years at most, and we
shall be :missed from our places among men.
Have you made your will ?"
The question coming so unexpectedly, gave
Mr. Slocum a start.
"Yes, of course," he answered; "I am too
systematic to neglect a thing of so much im
portance. Life is uncertain."
"And in making it," said Mr. Cushing., "you
consider well the nature and value of your
property, and dispose of it with justice and
judgment. As no part of your earthly pos
sessions could be taken into the other life, you
provided fur their equitable distribution."
"I did."
"As a wise and prudent man. And then,
Mr. Slocum, did not your thought go beyond
to that state of existence which succeeds ? To
that real,world, where we are to abide forever?
Did you not think of the 'riches divine', which
are spoken of in God's
. Flely Word, as posses
sed by the righteous there? Of the treasure
which our Lord enjoins upon us to lay up in
heaven? In leaving everything of -the world
behind us at death, our future becomes a thing
of momentous consideration. The wealth of
this world is represented by gold and silver—
that of the spiritual world into which we rise
at death; by goodness and truth. If we do
possess spiritual riches at death, if' we have no
good in our hearts, nor truth in our minds, we
shall be poor, miserable and wretched in the
other world.
"These things have pressed themselves on
my consideration of late; and your remark
about the gain in this fancy stock speculation,
being as sure as death, sent them trooping
thi•ough my mind again. But I have occupied
both you and myself to long. Good morning?"
"So you decline this opportunity ?" said Mr.
Slocum, as'his friend moved away.
"I turn from it, with a shudder at the thought
that I was for an instant tempted. No, sir;
there is a last time coming, and it may not
far off. I will not burden my conscience with
any transaction that is against the law of hea
ven, into which' I hope to rise when mortal
shall put on immortality. Good morning !"
And the two men parted, one to ponder more
deeply on the principles of recititude and the
laws of heavenly life by which man must be
governed if he would build his house upon a
rock; the other to forget warning and sugges
tion in the selfish love of gain that impelled
him to the use of any means not in contraven
tion`of human law, by which gold was to be
won
"Have you heard from Mr. Cashing within
a day Or two?" asked a business friend, addres
sing Mr. Slocum two or three weeks subse:
quently.
"No. Why de you ask? Is he sick ?"
"Very sick. The last I heard of him, the
doctor had but stnall hope of his recovery."
"You shock me! Mr. Cushing ! Can it be
possible! What ails him ?"
"Some disease of the heart, I understand."
"And not expected to recover ?"
"No."
Mr. Slocum's countenance grew serious. His
thought recurred to his last interview with Mr.
Cushing, and he felt a slight chill running
along his nerves. In drawing so near to his
friend and acquaintance, death seemed to stand
most unpleasantly near to himself.
All day the thoughts of Mr. Slocum kept
turning . to the sick man, and in the evening
he called at his house to make inquiry as to
his condition.
"Will you go up and see him 1" asked the
sad-face wife of Mr. Cushing.
Mr. Slocum went up to the death-chamber ;
for, to one of them, that last time had indeed
come. A pale, placid face, and clear calm eyes
met him. The Angel of DissolutiOn had placed
his signet there, and none could mistake the
sign. Mr. Cushing smiled feebly, but sweetly,
as he took the hand of his old business friend.
"I am pained to find you so ill," said Mr.
Slocum, in a troubled voice.
The smile did not fade from the sick man's
lips, as he answered feebly :
"The time,has come sooner than I expected;
but lam not afraid. I think there is some
treasure laid up in heaven. If the amount is
not large, it is in good securities, I trust ; no
ifaucies,' friend Slocum! No speculative stocks
Nothing but what is truly spiritual and sub
stantial—that is, of love to God and the neigh
bor."
He shut hi&eyes, the smile still, lingering
about his mouth. But it began fading slowly;

and when it died away, tranquil peace rested
calmly where the light bad been. Ile was at

"No 'fancies' in the lost time," said Mr.
Slocum, communing with his thoughts as he
walked, in sober mood, homeward. 'Will it
be so in my last .hour of extremity? Will
there be no worthless securities in the treasure
I have sought to lay up in heaven, when I go
stripped of earthly possessions, into the et.r
nal world ? God help me, if my soul were re

curities sought to be laid up in Heaven ! I
never thought of that before. I must look
closer to my investments; for what shall it pro
fit a man if he gain the whole world and loss
his own soul."
On the next day, Mr. Slocum sold out all
his speculative stocks ; and has not, since,
sought to gain a singe dollar, except legitimate
trade. He cannot forget Mr. Cnshing, nor the
inevitable last time that comes to all —IT. Y.
