The Great AMERICAN TEA COMPANY 51 Vesey Street, New York ; Since its organization, has created a new era in the history of Wholesaling Teas in this Country. They have introduce' their selections of Teas, and are selling them at not over Two Cents (.02 Cents) per pound above Cost, never deviating from the OWE PRICE asked. Another peculiarity of the company is that Their TSA 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 Ten buyer to choose out of their enormous stock such TEAS as are best adapted to his peculiar nano, and not only this, but. points out to him the beet 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 hie time is valuable, he 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 pnr, chase on as good terms here as the New York mer chants Parties can order Teas and will be served by us as well as though they came themselves, being sure to get original packages, true weights and tares; and the Tens are warranted as represented.

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.

Its perusal will not fail to awaken ten der heart-emotions, revive sad family remininscen ces, and cause tears to moisten the eyes of those parents whose " lambs have gone before," and who are " longing for the faces passed away forever more." The picture is a beautiful and touching one: WITHOUT THE CHILDREN. 0, the weary, solemn silence Of a house without the children, 0,. the strange, oppressive silence, Where the children come no more! Ah I. the longtng of the sleepless For the soft arms of the children, Ah! the longing for the faces Peeping through the open door— Faaes gone forevermore! Strange it is to wake at midnight And not hear the children breathing, Nothing but the old clock ticking, Ticking, ticking by the door. Strange to see the little dresses Hanging up there all the morning ; And the gaiters—ah! their patter, We will hear it nevermore. On our mirth-forsaken floor. What is home without the children? 'Tis the earth without. its verdure, Aud the sky without. its sunshine; Life is withered to the core ! So we'll leave this dreary desert, And we'll follow the good Shepherd To the greener pastures vernal, Where the lambs have " gone before" With the Shepherd evermore! 0, the weary, solemn silence Of a house without the children, 0, the strange, oppressive stillness, Where the children come no more! Ah! the longing of the sleepless For the soft arms of the children; Ali! the longing for the faces Peeping through the open doer— Faces gone forevermore THE REJECTED IN A very small room, in a very small house, with a very small fire burning in the grate— this is our scene. There was no ornament, unless the pure white curtains, and the yellow dimple of April sunshine on a somewhat faded carpet might be characterized as such, and the fresh loveliness of the two girls who sat in the apartment struck you like an incongruity, it seemed as if they must be there by mis take ! "Half a pound of beefsteak, Ruth, and a few potatoes, and a loaf of bread ; that will do, I think," said the elder, thoughtfully, to a tall, gaunt old woman with a little market basket on her arm, who stood in the middle of the room, as if awaiting orders. 'Aint that a pretty clus' dinner for three, Miss Josephine ?" said Ruth, giving her rusty black bonnet an extra twitch. "I know it, Ruth," laughed the girl; but we must regulate our expenditure according to our resources,, you are aware. See !" She held up a lank little purse as she spoke. Ruth smiled too—but she was looking, not at the purse, but at Josephine Carey, standing where the sunshine threaded her brown curls with gold and melted into hazel wells of light under her long dark lashes. But she was not as regally beautiful as her sister. As Cecile Carey sat in the antique easy chair by the smouldering remnant of fire, it would scarcely have been difficult to fancy her a crowned queen. She looked fretfully up from her embroidery as Josephine spoke. "Ruth, do bring a few oranges for dessert— I cannot live on this beggarly diet!" she said. "We cannot afford it, Cecile," interposed Josephine, gently. Cecile pouted. "You don't care whether I starve or not." Josephine's lip quivered. "Dearest Cecile ! is it not better to bear up cheerfully and strive not to repine ?" "As if one could help repining in this dis mal hole ! s And then•sinee papa's bankruptcy and death, our friends have all deserted us—of course they would not come to such a place as this P' J. W. BARR "Of course, then, They are not worth our re grets. But, Cecile, you should not say .all.— Mr. has been here several limes." "Yes," said Cecile, a little consciously, as if she would have added—" And I defy him to stay away while /ohoose to keep him with a _ n_ ,u4atke,.. .4-",— we ...101..... f - cl , l l p„..,,P ''' ',., • Th 4o \ , -4: - 4 , ,4i ~.."2_........4„,„_,,,,: , ,,,,,...

A POETIC GEM. 0" Ztorn. BY AMY RANDOLPH smile or a glance !" But then, Josephine, he is our lawyer !' she added. "The law business has long since come to an end," said Josephine, archly. "Never wind, Cecy, we won't investigate his motives too closely; and now, where is my sewing ?" Cecile looked rathef scornfully at the plain calico dress which the busy fingers of her sis ter were working on. "Things will be different when I am Mrs. Archcliff," she mused to herself: "I wonder if he• will conic here to-day; he has been ab sent since 'Wednesday. I wonder And she resumed her embroidery, while her thoughts wandered away through the pearly nolonnades and mist-bright domes of a Chateuic Evange, whose minarets and spires gleamed through the far-off sunshine of the future. The sunshine was creeping up the wall like an ebbing tide of gold, and the coarse indices of the wooden mantel clock were pointing to somewhere about five, that afternoon, when Ruth put her stiff muslin cap into the room where Cecile was dozing over a book; and Jo. sephine still at work over the calico breadths. "If you please, young ladies—" "Well ?" drawled Cecile, sleepily. "Mr. Archcliff is here." And without further ceremony, she ushered the lawyer into the apartment. A tall, stately man, somewhere between thirty and forty, with dark, heavy hair, straight features, and eyes full of quiet, thoughful strength, he entered with the same chivalrous respect he had been wont to show the sisters when they dwelt in a superb mansion, and'were clothed with purple and fine linen. "I have come here on business," he said, breaking the momentary pause that ensued after the usual greetings ; "business that im minently concerns both of you young ladies. While examining some Wills and leases, relat ing to an entirely different case, I' accidentally stumbled on a clue which, when "follotved up, brought me to the knowledge that you are heirs to considerable property, Which hits for some years been enjoyed by those who posses sed neither right nor title to it." "The wretches'!" interrupted Cecile,--pas sionately. "Nay,' he said; gently; "the present posses sor 'is quite ignoraht: that he has done any wrong, whatever suspicions his father may have had on the subject." "And how soon—when—" stammered Cecile. "Do you mean how soon do you come into poPsession ?" he asked, as she paused abruptly. "Within a very few weeks, I trust—as soon as the troublesome forms of law can be gone through with. Actiug as your legal adviser, I have already given notice to the young man." "Then it is a young man. Poor fellow !" sighed Josephine. "What sort of a person is it, Mr. Archeliff ?" "I know nothing, Miss' Josephine, except that he is about sixteen, and a cripple." "A cripple ?" "Yes ; a martyr, I am told, to spinal disease." "And is this the only property he posses ses ?" "All, I believ6." "But tell me about it, Mr. Archcliff !" in terrupted Cecile, with kindling eyes and deep ening color. "This property—in what does it consist ?" "In Audley Hall and its estate to being with, and, further, in stocks, laud, mortgages and various railroad shares, amounting alto gether, I think, to something like fifty thousand dollars." "Twenty-five thousand each—that is very little," pouted Cecile, rather disappointed.— Mr. Archcliff smiled. "For you to gain, perhaps ; but a great deal for him to lose." He glanced at his watch and rose. "I will see you again to-morrow. morning, young ladies. In the meantime, I suppose I have your authority to proceed as expeditious ly as possible ?" "Certainly," said Cecile, eagerly. "Pray let there be no delay that can be avoided. I am all impatience to come into my new proper- ty." She smiled as she spoke—a smile that made her seem like some fair-haired angel. The lawyer looked at her with a long', penetrating glance, .as he bowed good-bye. Cecile, won dered, with a beating heart, what that grave, wiFtful look meant. "Put up that horrid talk') thing, Josey she exclaimed, when they were alone together. "Don't, pray, work any more to-day. I'll send Ruth out after some oranges and wine-jelly E 98, 1804 and iced cake and cream-meringues, and we'll have a nice little banquet. Oh I if you knew how I have longed for these little dainties after our anchorite fare ? Why arc you looking so grave, Josephine ? why don't you rejoice with me ?" Josephine looked up into her sister's radiant face. "Because, Cecile, I see nothing to justify us iu any great amount of rejoicing." "Nothing ? Josephine Carey, what do .you • mean ?" Josephine rose and stood quietly before her sister. "Cecy, look at the !" "S I do look—what of it ?" "I am strong and healthy, am I not ?" "Yes—of course." "With hands that are not useless and a heart that will not fail ?" "And do you suppose, Cccy, that I, with all these priceless blessings at my command, will stoop to take a poor crippled boy's inheritance from him?" "But it is not his; it is ours !" "No matter whose it is=l will not-take it! Oh, Cecile, do you suppose my heart is of stone or adamant ?" "But Mr..A.rchcliff--" "As a lawyer—as our lawyer, Mr. Archcliff ,has acted entirely right. He has discovered inheritance and taken proper steps -to place it in our hands—it is for us to decide whether we will accept it or not ?" "As it we should hesitate for a moment "I shall not, Cecile; this poor cripple has greater need of the money than we." "Josephine, are you iu earnest ?" "I am." Cecile grew scarlet with anger. "Very well—you will do as you please. I shall not relinquish my share of this scanty property for a baseless whim. It is not suf ficient that this boy, or man, or whatever he is, has enjoyed our rights and comforts all his Josephine did not answer; she saw how use, less it was to argue with her sister, but not the less was her own mind made up. And when Mr..Archcliff called the next morning, Cecile detailed to him what she cal led her sister's absurd Quixotism. "Say what I will, she cannot be turned from this ridiculous piece of folly," concluded Ce cile, "and she wishesyou to deed back her half of the . estate and money to this young man." "And you, Miss Cecile." "I? Oh, I am troubled with no such ultra scruples of .conscience. I shall of course, do sire to come into possession as soon as possible. Audley Hall will be very pleasant change after these miserably cramped quarters !" "Does your sister accompany you ?" "Oh, no—she will remain. her.. and open a little day-sehool. The idea of Josephine Carey, teaching school for a living!" When Josephine returned from a brief walk, she found her sister in high spirits. "Did you tell him, Cecy ?" "Yes." "What did he say ?" "Nothing at all—it is evident he is very high ly diSpleased, however." Josephine's heart sank within her. "I must do my duty" she thought, pressing her hand to her throbbing temples, "no mat ter whom it my offend. My duty—my:duty !" It was almost a Bob, in its agonized intensi ty. "You will come and see me soon, at Audley Hall," said Cecile Carey, bending her sweet eyes on Mr. Archcliff's grave brow, as he bade her adieu at the railroad depot. He bowed quietly and stepped back, just as the train be gan to move. Cecile drew a long breath. "Strange that he has not proposed," the thought. "But their will be no lack of oppor tunities at Audley." Selden Archeliff did not return directly to his office, although there was a considerable arrear of business awaiting him in those dingy precincts. He went instead, to the little room where Josephine Carey was crying quietly on her sister's empty chair. "I know I am very foolish," she faltered, "but my little school commences to-morrow, and:l have such a brief time left for tears 1" It was the first time he had seen her since the evening he had brought tidings of the dis covered inheritance. Since .then, she had shyly avoided his presence, dreading to read disap proval in his face. Now, however, there was no evading the ordeal—it must come !

"I fancied that you loved Cceile !" B.e smiled, "I have loved you, dearest, since I knew you first, scarcely a year ago. But you have not answered my question yet 1" The soft brown eyes, dewy with a sense of the great happiness that was in store for her, were raised to his, with innocent frankness.' "I love you, Mr..A.rclicliff," she said with a shy dignity that was like herself. "But I never dreamed you could love an insignificant little creature like me 1" He drew her towards him with a caressing fondness that was like new life to her starved heart! He loved her that was enough ! The little school was never opened—and when Cecile read the long letter that reached her the very next mail, she bit.her beautiful lips until the scarlet blood started. "Fool that I have been!" she muttered, "And to think how skilfully that unconscious little Josey has played her cards ! Audley Hall, indeed ! Why the Arehcliff estates are ten times as large ! Fool I fool 1 to blunder with such a fatal mistake 1" And the saute June that brought a wreath of white roses to wake a wedding eoroual for Josephine Carey's sunny curls, brought also the dawn of a new bliss to her girl heart.— Seldeu Archcliif thought his wife never looked so lovely as she did on her wedding day Y.
