IT is not altogether a new idea, when business people burst into rhyme in their advertisements.

EVER BE DOWN IN THE DUMPS. Fortune may favor, though she may frown ; Bright morning comes after the night, And no matter how long a good man may be down, He’ll rise if he sticks to the right. In the game of our lives, ...though the “ deuce ” is to play. We all have our chances of “trumps,” “ Fair dealing ” if you would “ count honors,” we say, And never be down in the dumps. The 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. Though the road be so rough that the progress is slow, 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 lit, 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. The variety of Coatings and Tweeds to be seen at his establishment is, moreover, the most complete and extensive in Canterbury.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY for this HAIR. . ’ y;. .. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE. NEWER, now being sold by most Chg mista and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3a. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of ths day do. This preparation has never be& known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eighty twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling put, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color an|L richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does .Apt soil the hands, the scalp, or even, white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “ One of my customeie told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer .1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY 0.
