"John Cassemj still lives in the elevating stream of literature for erer flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Gut ell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in r coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a roagh and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw/ however, that more wai wanted than mere preachirg, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenohurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowak follows with his 3a tea. McGoWAK 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 same* ness of the quality ef tea supplied on the Thames, that there wan room for a better artiole than that usually sold. At the same time ha 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 not be excelled, unless there were those weaithy enough to receive it from Russia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3s TEA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. MoGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas.

It is bis intention, at 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 the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.

TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
