A HAPPY NEW YEAR.READER, the year on which we now enter will be just what we ourselves make it. If we seek our own selfish ends; if we get from others more than we give to others, we shall come far short of that fullness of happiness which comes of a generous spirit. If we do good-if we put the unfortunate in a way to improve and help themselves-we thereby add to our own happiness. It is not the prodigal or indiscriminate giver who does the most good, but the one who gives wisely-advice, ser vice, or money. Again, if we form good resolutions in regard to our habits, and hold to them; if we "swear off" from vices; if we pledge ourselves in the interest of mercy, justice, faith, and devotion; if we resolve to do right, to do good, and to walk humbly, and keep the resolutions, doing our duty, resisting all temptations, it will indeed be to me what I would have it to you, dear render, and to all mankind, A Happy New Year. Let us one and all try to make it so. it a qualification for voting. No man SHORTHAND WRITERS MR. S. R. WELLS-My Dear Sir: Can you recommend to me a shorthand writer, who writes a rapid and legible business hand; who can read his notes with facility and transcribe them with accuracy; who writes not less than one hundred words per minute: who has naturally good busiess tact, and who would like a permanent situation in an express office at a salary of about $1.500 per year? E. T. D. To a desirable party I can give a situation. ANTED-A BOY FROM 15 TO 18 Vermont was one in forty-nine against There are no other openings for young men which promise so rapid promotion and so liberal remuneration as this. Our advice to young men is, to learn phonography. HOW TO HELP. "Where there is a will there is a way." Would you add to the comfort or the means of a poor widow? A little, even a very little aid from each one's store would place her above immediate want. A cord of wood, a ton of coal, a sack of flour or meal, a barrel of worldly or indifferent to attend some place of worship; form the young men and women into singing schools, reading, spelling, debating, or other self-improvement societies. Do one or any of these things to call out the faculties and develop character. If dormant or not used, both mind and muscle become weak, effeminate, helpless. If used with vigor and kept growing, we shall culminate into something near to what the Creator intended us to be self-helpful and well-developed human beings. Personal. PHRENOLOGY IN PHILADEelPHIA. Our long-tried friend and former colleague, Mr. John L. Capen, is giving courses of popular lectures this winter in the Quaker City and vicinity. He will promptly respond to calls for lectures not too far from home. His office is at No. 722 Chestnut Street, where those who wish may obtain any of our publications and correct examinations, with charts and written descriptions of character. SETHI P.

Ex-Gov. JOHN A. ANDREW, of Mass., died October 30th, of apoplexy. He had a full habit and a florid complexion, just the look for apoplexy; just the man who ought to have refrained from the use of coffee, spices, stimulants, and tobacco. OBITUARY. - Died on the 17th of November fast, at his residence in Chicago, Colonel Alfred Clark Hills, one of the editors of the Chicago Tribune. Ho was a gentleman of quiet demeanor and retiring habits, but nevertheless an earnest and forcible writer, and possessed of extensive information. Some years ago, when we published Life Illustrated, Colonel Hills was one of the most acceptable contributors to its columns. LOVELL DOnge. -It gives us pleasure to state that Mr. Lovell Dodge, a recent pupil of ours, has prepared several interesting lectures. One is entitled "Temperance," another "Waking Up; or, How to Get Along in the World." He also proposes to give several lectures on phrenological and kindred sciences.

Of all the periodicals devoted to literature and science, which abound in Europe and this country, the LIVING AGE has appeared to me the most useful. From N. P. Willis. "Tenderloin," "foie gras," are phrases, we believe, which express the one most exquisite morsel. By the selection of these from the foreign Reviews-the most exquisite morsel from each-our friend Littell makes up his dish of LIVING AGE. And it tastes so. We recommend it to all epicures of reading. From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, May, 1867. Were I, in view of all the competitors MRS. E. DE LA VERGNE, M.D., that are now in the field, to choose, I should 325 ADELPHI STREET, BROOKLYN. HYGIENIC CURE, BUFFALO, N.

Y. tf NEW NATIONAL RELIGIOUS PAPER.-A national religious newspaper, to be called "THE ADVANCE," will be published weekly, from the first of September onward, in the city of Chicago. It will represent Congregational principles and polity, but will be conducted in a spirit of courtesy and fraternity toward all Christians. The form will be what is popularly termed a double sheet of eight pages, of the size and style of the New York Evangelist. The pecuniary basis is an ample capital furnished by leading business men and others, to be expended in the establishment and improvement of the paper, which is intended to be second to none in the country, in its literary and religious character. The purpose of its projectors is indicated in the name: their aim being to ADVANCE the cause of evangelical religion, in its relations not only to doctrine, worship, and ecclesiastical polity, but also to philosophy, science, literature, politics, business, amusements, art, morals, philanthropy, and whatever else conduces to the glory of God and the good of man by its bearing upon Christian civilization. No expense has been spared in providing for its editorial management in all departments, while arrangements are in progress to secure the ablest contributors and correspondents at home and abroad. The city of Chicago has been selected as the place of publication, because of its metropolitan position in the section of the country especially demanding such a paper, and the fact that it is nearly the center of national population, and in a very few years will be the ecclesiastical center of the Congregational Churches. Issued at the interior commercial metropolis, "THE ADVANCE" will contain the latest market reports, and able discussions of financial subjects, such as will make it a necessity to business men in all parts of the country. The editor-in-chief will be Rev. Wm. W. Patton, D.D., who resigns the pastorate of the leading church of the denomination at the West for this purpose, and who has had many years' experience in editorial labor. The subscription price will be $2.50 in advance. Advertising rates made known on application. Address THE ADVANCE COMPANY, P. O. Drawer 6,374, Chicago, S.6t. certainly choose the LIVING AGE. Nor is there in any library that I know of, so much instructive and entertaining reading in the same number of volumes. From the New York Times. The taste, judgment, and wise tact displayed in the selection of articles are above all praise, because they have never been equaled. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. We can do those among our readers who love sound and pure literature no better service than by referring them to this sterling weekly. It is decidedly the best magazine of the class published in the United States, if not in the world. From the New York Independent. selections brought before him in the LIVING AGE, without becoming conscious of a quickening of his own faculties, and an enlargement of his mental horizon. Few private libraries, of course, can now secure the back volumes, sets of which are limited and costly. But public libraries in towns and villages ought, if possible, to be furnished with such a treasury of good reading; and individuals may begin as subscribers for the new series, and thus keep pace in future with the age in which they live. From the Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal, 1867. The cheapest and most satisfactory magazine which finds its way to our table. It is a favorite everywhere. From the Mobile Daily Advertiser and Register, June 30, 1867. Of all the periodicals ever issued in America, probably none has ever taken so strong a hold upon the affections and interest of the more cultivated class of people, none has done so much to elevate the tone of public taste, none has contributed so much genuine enjoyment to its thousands of readers, as LITTELL'S LIVING AGE. From the Round Table, New York, Aug. 10, 1867. There is no other publication which gives its readers so much of the best quality of the leading English magazines and reviews. From the Chicago Journal of Commerce, July 4, 1867. We esteem it above all price. From the Illinois State Journal, Aug. 3, 1867. It has more real solid worth, more useful information, than any similar publication we know of. The ablest essays, the most entertaining stories, the finest poetry of the English language, are here gathered together. From the Richmond Whig, June 1, 1867. If a man were to read Littell's magazine regularly, and read nothing else, he would be well informed on all prominent subjects in the general field of human knowledge. From the Daily Wisconsin, Milwaukee, June 15, 1867. The best reprint of foreign literature issued in this country. From the Church Union, New York, Aug. 10. 1867. Its editorial discrimination is such as ever to afford its readers an entertaining résumé of the best current European magazine literature, and so complete as to satisfy them of their having no need to resort to its original sources. In this regard, we deem it the best issue of its kind extant. From the Boston Journal. The weekly issues of the LIVING AGE make four octavo volumes of about eight hundred pages each, yearly; and we venture to say that few volumes published in this country comprise so great an amount and variety of good reading matter of permanent value. From the Congregationalist, Boston. No better present can be made for the enjoyment of a family circle through the year than a year's subscription to LITTELL'S LIVING AGE. It is always well filled with instructive articles on science, philosophy, theology from the reviews, stories by the most popular writers from the magazines, choice poems, brief biographies, and a selection of tid-bits of the most entertaining character. The bound volumes for the past year (1866) are among the most valuable books on our shelves. From the Philadelphia Press, December, 1866 (being the third quarterly of the fourth series, and the ninety-first of the whole), fully sustains the high character of the work. It contains the following serials: Nina Balatka," and "Sir Brook Fossbrooke," from "Blackwood;" "Madonna Mary," from "Good Words:" "Village on the Cliff," from the "Cornhill Magazine:" and "Old Sir Douglas," from Macmillan." The LIVING AGE, we repeat, is a library in itself, worthy of its high repute. From the New York Home Journal, June 12, 1867. LITTELL'S LIVING AGE, long distinguished as a pioneer in the republication of the choicest foreign periodical literature, still holds the foremost rank among works of its class. Its standard of selections is a high one, and its contents are not only of interest at the present moment, but possess an enduring value. Its representation of the foreign field of periodical literature is ample and comprehensive; and it combines the tasteful and erudite, the romantic and practical, the social and scholarly, the grave and gay, with a skill which is nowhere surpassed, and which is admirably suited to please the cultivated reader. From the Protestant Churchman, June 27, 1867. Age and Life are alike its characteristics. It is linked with our memories of the old library at home, and it seems to grow fresher and better in matter as it grows older in years. Once introduced into the family circle, it can not well be dispensed with; and the bound volumes on the library shelves will supply a constant feast in years to come. From a Clergyman in Massachusetts, of much literary celebrity. In the formation of my mind and character, I owe as much to the LIVING AGE as to all other means of education put together.

HAVE ESTABLISHED 1861-THE GREAT AMERICAN TEA COMPANY JUST RECEIVED TWO FULL CARGOES OF THE FINEST NEW CROP TEAS. 22,000 Half Chests by ship Golden State. 12,000 Half Chests by ship George Shotten. In addition to these large cargoes of Black and Japan Teas, the Company are constantly receiving large invoices of the finest quality of Green Teas from the Moyune districts of China, which are unrivaled for fineness and sweetness of flavor. To give our readers an idea of the profits which have been made in the Tea Trade (previous to the establishment of the GREAT AMERICAN TEA COMPANY), we will start with the American Houses, leaving out of the account entirely the profits of the Chinese factors. First. The American House in China or Japan makes large profits on their sales or shipments-and some of the richest retired merchants in this country have made their immense fortunes through their Houses in China. Second. The Banker makes large profits upon the foreign exchange used in the purchase of Teas. Third. The Importer makes a profit of 30 to 50 per cent. in many cases. Fourth. On its arrival here it is sold by the cargo, and the purchaser sells it to the Speculator in invoices of 1,000 to 2,000 packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent. Fifth. The Speculator sells it to the Wholesale Tea Dealer in the lines, at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. Sixth. The Wholesale Tea Dealer sells it to the Wholesale Grocer in lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per cent. Seventh. The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the Retail Dealer, at a profit of 15 to 25 per cent. Eighth. The Retailer sells it to the Consumer, for ALL THE PROFIT HE CAN GET. When you have added to these EIGHT profits as many brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, and add the original cost of the Tea, it will be perceived what the consumer has to pay. And now we propose to show why we can sell so much lower than small dealers. We propose to do away with all these various profits and brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, with the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to our correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and a small profit to ourselveswhich, on our large sales, will amply pay us. By our system of supplying Clubs throughout the country, consumers in all parts of the United States can receive their Teas at the same price, with the small additional expense of transportation, as though they bought them at our Warehouse in this city. Some parties inquire of us how they shall proceed to get up a club. The answer is simply this: Let each person wishing to join in a club, say how much tea or coffee he wants, and select the kind and price from our Price-List, as published in the paper, or in our circulars. Write the names, kinds, and amounts plainly on the list, as seen in the club-order published below, and when the club is complete send it to us by mail, and we will put each party's goods in separate packages, and mark the name upon them, with the cost, so there need be no confusion in their distribution-each party getting exactly what he orders, and no more. The cost of transportation the members can divide equitably among themselves. Parties sending club or other orders for less than thirty dollars, had better send Post-office draft or money with their orders, to save the expense of collections by express; but larger orders we will forward by express, to "collect on delivery." Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the party getting up the club. Our profits are small, but we will be as liberal as we can afford. We send no complimentary package for clubs of less than $30. Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely upon getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the Custom-House stores to onr Warehouses. We warrant all the goods we sell to give entire satisfaction. If they are not satisfactory they can be returned at our expense within thirty days, and have the money refunded. The Company have selected the following kinds from their stock, which they recommend to meet the wants of clubs. They are sold at cargo prices, the same as the Company sell them in New York, as the list of prices will show. PRICE LIST OF TEAS. OOLONG (Black), 70c., 80c., 90c., best, $1 per lb.
