'" John Oassell still lives in the elevating stream .of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on "their, age than John Oassell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all *his belongings tied up in a ooloured 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, however, that more was wanted than mere preachirg, and with a Bagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowan follows with his 3s tea. McGowan 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 the same time h? saw that it would be suicidal to introduce a high price, so he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could riot be excelled, unless there were thtfse wealthy enough to receive it. from Russia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3a TEA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas.

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