The Great
AMERICAN TEA COMPANY',
51 Vey Street, Neu, York ;
Sipco its organization, has created a new era in the
history of
Wholesaling Teas in.this Country.
They have introduce.' their selections of Teas, and
sre selling them at not over Two Cents (.02 Cents)
per pound above Cost, new deviating from the ONB
PRICE asked.
Another peculiarity of the company is that their
TVA 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 MS as are best adapted to his peculiar
: ants, 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 MARKET,
if his time is valuable, be has all 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

as well as though they came themselves, being sure
to get original paCkages, true weights and tares;
and the Teas are warranted as represented. •

GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIER.
God bless you soldier !—when our sky
Was heavy with impending woe,
When traitors raised the battle cry,
When fear met fear in every eye,
You rushed to meet our foe.
God bless you soldier—when our light
Of hope grew dim and courage waned,
When freedom veiled her face from sight,
Your valor dashed away the, night,
And morning clear remained.
God bless you soldier—swirred and worn
Wearied with marches, watchings, pain,
All, battle•stained and battle torn,
Bravely have all your taskis been borne,
You have not fought in vain.
God bless you soldier—think not we
Alone revere and bless your name,
For millions now and. yet to be,
Millions your arms have rendered free,
Shall sing your deeds and fame.
God bless you soldier—when the air
Grows.heavy with the battle's roar,
Sheltered beneath his love and care
Nay victory with garlands rare
Adorn you evermore.
Gud,bless you, soldier—when the dove
Of peace the Eagle's nest will share
With home and.hearts made warm with lois,
with joys below—With joys. above,
nod blesi you here and there.

131 T. S. ARTHUR
"Your coldness hurt Mrs. Lincoln," said
one lady to another.
"I'm sorry," answered the lady to whom the
remark was addressed; but the admission of a
regret was not made with any feeling.
"Why do you treat her with sneh a distant
reserve, Mrs. Arnold r I've noticed this a
namber'of times. She's an excellent lady.—
We all like her exceedingly."
The eyes of Mrs'. Arnold fell to the floor,
and her fags became grave. .
"I: wOuder that you do not fancy Mrs.
2he's a lovely character—so in tek ent,
so ratted; and with such a sweet spirit towards
every one. The fault must be in yOurself, if
there is any natural repulsion.",
It was an intimate friend who spoke, and the
closing, sentence was uttered with a smile.
"In thltt you may be right," Said Mrs. Ar
nold, half smiling in. return.
"Then them is a felt repulsion
"Yes:"
"1 call that singular. To me it seems tt
you were burn for friends. Your tastes and
sympathies run in the same direction ; and
you Aro interested in the same general sub
jects. lam sure, if, you knew each other as
well as I ,Ignew you both, you would become
closely knit together in friendship. I must
get y ip,to a nearer relation to Mrs. Lin
coln."
"I would prefer remaining at. my , present
distance," replied Mrs. Arnold.
"Why ? There wust be a reason for this.".
",I•don't like her."
"Mrs. Arnold ! I'm surprised to hear you
speak so decidedly. Mrs. Lincoln admires
you ; I've heard her say so, often ; and wants
to know you more intimately than she now
does."
"That she never will, I'm thinking!"
Mrs. Arnold's brows began to gather darkly,
about Mrs. Lincoln, that seta her beyond the
limit of your friendly auquaintance 7"
"The truth is," said 3lrs. Arnold, "I've
got an old grudge against her. There was a
time when it would not gratify her social pride
to call me her friend—and she treated me ac
cordingly. She was a woman when I was a
"Well--go on."
Mrs. Arnold bad paused, for she was con
scious that her cheeks were burning—that her
voice was losing its steadiness of tone.
"Perhaps I had as well keep silent," she
said. "The subject is not a pleasant one."
"Go on, now. You have excited my curi
osity. I would like to !pow exactly how you
stand with Mrs. Lincoln."
"There may be pride and weakness in the
case," returned Mrs. Arnold. "But no mat
ter. Thus it stands: I was a quick, intelli
gent phild, but very sensitive. Mrs. Lincoln
visited my.motber, and I often met har in the
parlor, when company was present. She was
a beautiful talker, and it was one of my great
f!st pleasures :to sit and listen. I was really
fascinatedwith her . ;, and I thonght,her the
loveliest lady I had ever seen. One day when
GREENCASTLE, PA.,: TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1864
she was at our house, I sat listening to the
conversation that was passing between her and
some other friend of my mother's, drinking in,
I apprehend, a great deal more than was im
agined, and drinking it iu with delight. My
mother had left the room for some purpose.—
While she was absent, MrsAincoln, in speak
ing-of prevalent human weaknesses, qUoted a
couplet from Pope;
".The love of Prelgo ; howe'er eaneeard by art,
Rules, more or less, and glows in every Heart.'
"Now I had read largely in Pope, =and held
in memory a great many of his terse maxims.
Every word of this couplet was familiar, and
my ear instantly, detected one wrong word in
the quotation. In : nly childish ardor and- art
lessness I said, looking into Mrs. Lincoln's
face
4 "lt is reigns, ma'am.' •
"Her eyes, turned, flashing on uke,,in an in
stant, and,with an angry face, she said :
."'You've .forgotten yourself, Miss Pert
Children should be seen, not heard.'
"She never saw or heard me -in the parlor
again. I went out, with hot cheeks and heart
full of pain and bitterness. I was sensitive to
a fault, and this rebuke—so unjustly given—
hurt me to a degree that few would,imagine.—
never mentioned it to my mother; nor, in
deed, to any living soul befere this time; and
it is over, twenty years since the slight occur
rence. My 'pride was
,deeply wounded. She
had said these cruel words before two or three
other ladies in whose good opinion I wished to
stand well; and as a child I could not look
them in the face again. :From how much
pleasure and instruction was I shut out from
that time. - .Before; I had been anxious to meet
my mother's intelligent friends; now, I kept
myself out of •sight as much as possible; when
we had company, for either Mrs. Lincoln, or
some one of the ladies who had been•-present
when she rebuked me, was almost sure to be
of the number..
"It has so happened, that, since I became a
woman, Mrs. Lincoln and I have, until recent
ly, moved in different circles. - I grew up, out
of her observation, and married. It is more
than probable that she has entirely forgotten
the incident which burnt itself into my child
ish memory—may.not even now remember me
as the daughter of her old friend. But, I have
not forgotten, and can never forget. Grown
people fail to remember, in their treatment of
children, that girls and boys have memories,
and that girls and boys, in a few years, become
won and women.
"And now, my friend, you-have the secret
of my repugnance to Mrs. Lincoln. She push
ed me away from her once; but she will never
have a second opportunity.
"The child's resentments should not accom
pany, into after life, the child's memory," said
the friend, as Mrs. Arnold ceased. "Mrs.
Lincoln spoke from a sudden., sense of wound
ed pride, and no doubt repented, in the next
calm moment. • Your mature reason, your ob
servation, and your acquired self-knowledge,
should set you right in this 'matter. lt , was
not the , best side of her nature that presented
itself then, but her worst side perhaps. -- I
have-my worst side, and show it, sometimes, to
other people; and it is just the same with you,
But, neither of ue would like this worst side
to govern common . estimation. No—no, my
friend. You are wrong in letting that old
grudge, as you- call it, remain.
"Forgive and folget ! Why, the world. would be
lonely,
The garden a Wilderness left to deform,
If the flowers bat remembered the' chilling winds
only
And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the
storm."
"I shall let her go her way through the
world," replied Mrs. Arnold, coldly. "It is
wide enough fdr us both. That I have not
sought to harm her, you will see in the fact
that I have never spoken of this before; and
have done so now under a kind of compul.
laion. - But, I can never feel pleasant in her
company, and shall, therefore, keep her at e.
distance."
A. few days after this conversation, the lady
friend who had talked with Mrs. Arnold, was
sitting in 'company with Mrs. Lincoln. Con
versation passed froM theme to theme, when at
what seemed a fitting moment, the lady said :
"Do you remember this incident, of years
ago ? You made a quotation from a well
known poet, and a little girl c.orrected you in
a single word."
A flash of interest went over the face of
Mrs. Lincoln.
"Yes, I remember it very well."
"And what you said of her ?"
"I do; and as one of the regretted things of
wy life. Bhe was a dcar little girl; sweet tem
,
pored and intelligent—but, a trifle forward,
and apt to put in a word now and then, in so
mature a way, that innocence on her part some
times seemed like forwardness. Yes; I
member her correction, and I lost temper, and
called her Miss Pert, and I don't know what
else. I was sorry and ashamed the next mo
ment. That she felt it keenly I know, for,
always after that, she was so cold and distant,
that I could hardly get a word with her. But
that was more than twenty years ago. Her
mother died while she was still young, and
she then passed from my observation. How
canie•you to know this ?"
"I had the story from her own lips."
"When ?"
"Only a few days since."
"And she bad carried the memory of that
hasty rebuke rankling in her heart ever since ?"
There was a tone of sadness in the voice of
Mrs. Lincoln.
"Ever since," said the lady. "It hurt her
sensitive pride to a degree that made forget
fulness impossible; and it hurts her still."
"Ah ; if we could. recall our hasty words,
as to take away their power to do harm, ivhat
a blessed thing it would be! But an impulse
once given, cannot die. If it moves to good,
happy are they who .set it in motion, and it is
hurting still. But where is ehe ! I must
bring her, if possible, into a better state of
mind."
"You met Mrs. Arnold."
"Mrs Arnold'! Can it be possible ! Surely
she is not the daughter of my old friend Mrs.
Wills. She is not the little Emily I have
thought of so many times, and always with a
troubled memory in my heart."
"The'same," was answered.
"And in all these years she has not forgot
ten nor forgiven my fault. I must have wound
ed her sorely."
"You did. Her's seems to be one of those
proudly sensitive natures, into which all im
pressions go deeply. I asked her why, she
kept herself at such a distance from you. But
she avoided a direct answer, at the same time
intimating a state of repulsion. I pressed for
the reason, and she gave it rather reluctantly,
avering, at the same time, that sh:i had never
opened her lips on the subject in all her life
before—not even to tier mother."
"Extraordinary ! I could pot have believed
that an impression, made on a child's mind,
would remain in such distinctiveness and force
through so many years. What a lesson it is!"
"I wish it were possible for you to get near
her, Mrs. Lincoln, and let her feel how kind
a heart you have. She has admirable quali
ties, Aud lam sure if this barrier were re
moved you would be fast friends."
"Oh, it must be removed," said Mrs. Lin
coln., "Now that I know of its existence, I
will have no peace until it is level with the
earth. It was my hands that builded, it and
my hands shall take down every stone of sepa
ration."
"There is a lady in the parlor," said a ser
vant, coming to the door of Mrs. Arnold's
room. "And here is her card, ma'ma."
Mrs. Arnold took the card, and read the name
of Mrs. Lincoln. She stood, for some time,
irresolute. It was on her lips to say—" Ask
her to excuse we. am engaged." But she
was not engaged. And, moreover since her
communication to the friend who had spoken
so favorably of Mrs. Lincoln, she had felt less
satisfied with herself. It did seem like a vin
dictive spirit thus to cherish through
so many years.
"Say that I will be down in a few minutes."
It cost her an effort to utter this ; but it was
said, the meeting must take place. She sac
in quite a disturbed state for soma time, before
venturing to go down stairs. Then, with what
self-possession she could assume, she went to
meet the woman who, twenty years ago, wound
ed her so deeply that the pain' had not yet died
out of her consciousness.
The two ladies stood face to face, and hand in
hand. The name of Mrs. Arnold bad been
spoken warmly; that of Mrs. Lincoln with an
almost repellent oldness. There were a few
moments' silence. Mrs. Lincoln said i
"Your mother 'els my best Wend. I loved
her as a sister. Will you not, for her sake,
forgive the cruel words that hurt pride sent
thoughtlessely frow my lips—words repented
of almost as soon as spoken, and regretted
many,' many times?"
The voice of Mrs. Lincoln trembled with
the deep feeling that was , in her heart.
"Oh, if I had dreaMed of their power to
hurt so .deeply, I would have sought, years ago,
to repair the wrong."

This was unxepected. There wa3 no time
