Che oldest of men tell us life is a span, Though the “ lane without turning” seems long : When sadness creeps into the heart of a man He should hurry it out with a song, r Ihough the road be so rough that the progress is slow 1 , Though our knees may be aching with bumps, Twill be changed if a little further we go, So never be down in the dumps. Should folk disappoint—say, your tailor, to wit, With separate garment or suit, Visit G. J. F. Lublow for perfection in fit, And saving your money to boot He’ll suit you with all that is novel and rare. And prove himself a regular “ trump,” For giving both cheapness and thorough good wear, So never be down in the dumps. To give Stylish and Reliable Materials, Perfect Fit, and unmistakable Cheapness, is the state of perfection attained in the Clothing supplied by G. J. F. Lublow. Phe variety of Coatings and Tweeds to be seen at his establishment is, moreover, the must complete and extensive in Canterbury.

BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The new Straight Needle Wheeler and Vision have no shuttles, they have no ogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tre and weary the feet.

The New Wheeler and Wilson has more .nd greater improvements than any other owing machine, and is the fastest, making >ver 1,000 stitches per minute. CAUTION.
