other Tea Concern in America- Their scrupulous regard
to all principles that tend to elevate the character of a
large house, is well understood, aud has alreaday secured
them a connection, probably, larger than all other Tea
Establishments united, and they consequently are deter
mined to sell Tear purcr;more fragrant, and perfect for the

China excepted.
They most Eealously invite the attention of the in
habitants of this town and vicinity to their Agency' where
complete assortments are always on hand ; they feel no
hesitation in stating that wherever a single tral is made,
a very decided preference is giveu to the celebrated Teas

Mr Ward, of the firm of Gales Stout &. Word of

AND THE SAME.
The identity, in spirit and principles, of
the old federal party of the last war and
the falsely-styled w hig party of the present
day; the legitimate descent of the latter
from the former; establishes, by the
law of inheritance, the title of the modern
whigs to the patrimony of infamy accum
ulated by their progenitors by thoir trea
sonable conduct iu the last final struggle
with England, the ample capital of which
their descendants have vastly increased
by their own treasonable course m the
the present war with Mexico. Indeed,
it will be seen, by the comparison which
we shall institute, that, the treasonbie
spirit and intent of the surreptitious
whigs of the present day is the same as
that displayed by the old war federalists:

lieve it. It is hard
this world." A priest
Sunday on the road, saw a boy
ragged dress, sitting dangling his feet in
the water of a brook that ran by it.
' " Well, my boy,'' said the good father
' what makes you sit there to-day, and
don't you go to the chapel?"
It is because Tin not just fit to be seen
there because of the ragged ness of my
clothes," said the boy.
And who may your parents be, and what
are they doing, that they don't see you
better clad and going to the chapel on a
Sunday?"
4il can't exactly say," replied the boy
'what they may be doing just now, be
cause they have been dead for some years,
and 1 get along as well as 1 cat. without
them."
"But you should not neglect going to the
chapel said the priest; ' and if you are
ashamed of your clothes why I would have
you'get up betimes m the morning, and
step into the chapel w hen nobody is there,
and say your prayers; and, depend upon
it, God will be dropping something in your
way."
So the boy thanked his reverence for his
advice, and promised to follow it. Some
time after, as the priest was going the same
way, he saw the same boy, but very much
altered, in appearance, anil being very well
dressed . ' ' ,
"k Well, my boy, did you follow my ad
vice, and do you now go to the chapel?"
' Ah! bless your reverence," replied the
lad, that I did, indeed, and I wish I hail
seen you years before, for is was the best
day of my life when I did sec you."
""How was that?" asked the priest.
"Why, God bless your reverence! I
got up early in the morning, as you advis
ed me, and went away to th? chapel, and
as I did not want to be seen, I slipped in
quickly and got behind the door, and be
ran to say my prayers, and sur,e enough,
ft was just as your reverence said it would
bo Providence was after dropping some
thing in tny way directly. When I first
went in there was nobody there : but pre
sently there came a blind man, and he put
his head into the chapel and said, Is any
body here?' and when" npbjwly answered,
I kept quite still, for I would sec what
Providence would be after, the blind man
entered, and made his ' way to a seat, and
began saying his prayers' .
And presently anotJier Wind man came
and put iu his head, and said, Is any
body here?" And the first blind man"
: answered and said ; Tbcre is" nobody'
but me, aud I am blind." . Atid with that
the second blind man entered, and made
his way to the first blind man, and sat down
by his side, and they began to talk. And'
the one blind man asked the other how long,
he had been blind; and he said 'Eighteen
years."
. "Eighteen years! that is a very Ions time;
why, you uyjst have saved a power cf
money in all that time. ' ; ,
Nay," replied the first man lfc not so
much as you would think bad had been'
my Jjest lock I have only .deio-aod.!
have it stitched intomy'cap, here that nd
body may steal it."
'And with that, your reVerCnc'e-said'
the boy, I saw that your reverence had
said the truth; and that Providence dropped'
something in my way immediately. Sol
up and went softly up to the men; aud took'
each his ccp away out his hand, and made'
for the door. IJut, oh! the two blind
men, but they were astonished, and they
seiz.ed each other by the throat, and one
said one ; Ohjye thief of the world! but
ye have stolen my cap and my money from1
me!" aud the other said: Nay. ye thief
of the world but ye have stolen my cap'
and my money!' And to it they went,
like furies, and when the people came into
the chapel, they found them rolling on the
lloor together, and screaming that the one
had robbed the other, and the other had
robbed the one but no caps or money
were there to be seen atid then both the
men were more astonidied than ever. Bui'
I was by that time far across the fields,
blessing your reverence for the true words
ye had said to mej for true enough, Provi
dence had dropped something Lu my way
all at once.
And now your reverence sees that t'
dress decently as any boy of them all, ami
go to the chapel every Sunday ;and often
I bless the day that I met your reverence as
I did."
