Ido not know that I have anything to fight about now, and I hardly care to engage in fighting at anyone clse’s bidding. If you have a quarrel with anybody I would advise you to settle it amicably if possible, or else fight it out yourself. If you have _* fixed up’ the army, and you can make it convenient to run over at any time to one of my phrenological lectures, I shall be happy to point out the superi ority of life in Eugland, and explain the nature and utility of the, as I say, more useful work which I am engaged in; and 1 will examine your head either publicly or privately free of charge.

A Poser. — A facetious correspondent of a contemporary offers a prize of a Revised New Testament to any person who will give a correct answer to the query : Who was Cain’s wife ?



Destruction of Forests. — A writer ir Harper's Magazine observes :—A countrj cannot continue to be populous or highlj civilised when its forests or their equiva lent in coal are lost to it. But this loss has been experienced by many nations. The whole Eastern world, as well as the countries of which we have spoken, were once wooded. The Roman and Greek writers assure us of this. But vast regions of Europe and Asia, by wars and wanton ness and imprudence, have been stripped of their forests. A belt of woodland stretching from the Pyrenees to the Hima layas have been swept away, fand that whole region, once fertile and populous, now barely sustains a people scanty in numbers. It is a significant fact that great deserts now occupy the original sea: of the human race, and extend on every route of their migrations. Humbolt is reported as saying:—“Men in all climates seem to bring upon future generations two calamities at once ; a want of fuel and a scarcity of water.” The two come alike from the destruction of the forests.



Holloway’s Ointment and Pilis.— Glad—Tidings. Some constitutions have tendency to rheumatism, and are through the year home down by its protracted torture Let such sufferers bathe the afflicted Sarts with warm brine, and afterwards rub in its soothing Ointment. They will find it the best means of lessening their agony, and, assisted by Holloway’s Pills, the surest way of overcoming their disease. More need not be said than to request a few days’ trial of the safe and soothing treatment, by which the disease will ultimately be completely swept away. Pains that would make a giant shudder are assuaged without difficulty by Holloway’s easy and inexpensive remedies, which comfort by moderating the throbbing vessels and calm ing the excited nerves.—Advt

rjIHE FUTURE OF NEW ZEALAND. As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will alsc Ibe enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored wioh a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can bo imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
