"JOHN Cassml still lives iv the elo' rating Btream of literature for erer flowing from tbe great publishing house he founded. Few meu have left a deeper mark on their ogo than John Cassell. He armed in London in 1838, with all his helongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance -views. He saw, howaver, that more was wonted-than mero preachit g, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fehchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowah follows -with his 3s toa. McGowah has been in the tea trade for many years, and has a Home and Colonial experience in selection that few can lay claim to. A few years ago it occurred to him, after seeing the sameness of the quality of tea supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At \ha same time ho saw that it would be suicidal to introduce a high price, so he determined to put before the judges of good ten an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there were those wealthy enough to receive it from Bussia, costing about 15» per Ib there, being convoyed oveeland by. caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3s TEA is McGowah'S Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas.

It is his intention, at some future date, to publish, for the information of tbe trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &c. The public are requested to judge lor themselves, in preference to listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.
