Fortune may favor, though she may frown; Bright morning comes after the night, And no matter how long a good man may he down, He’ll rise if he sticks to the right. In the game of onr 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 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. The variety of Coatings and Tweeds to be seen at his establishment is, moreover, the most complete and extensive in Canterbury. Gentlemen cannot do other than right in obtaining their dress for themselves and their sons at G. J. F. Lublow’s, EAST STREET, ASHBtTBTON. 718 a IT is not altogether a new idea, when business people burst into rhyme in their advertisements. Our grandfathers and grandmothers have read some ex crutiating poetry in advertisements in their time just as we do sometimes now. From an old newspaper dated a while after the Flood, a tea dealer, expatiating on the merits of his tea, has the follow ing : “ For lords and ladies it is fit; Seven shillings is the price of it.” I’m not going to paint the lily or gild re fined gold by attempting to improve on that, but it should be a source of comfort to the tea drinkers of Ashburton and sur rounding districts that they can now pro cure the finest Teas at my establishment for much less money. 1 have just re ceived a fresh consignment of Nelson, Moate, and Co.’s Puns Blended Teas, in packets and boxes. I have also opened up an assortment of Fancy Goods, and fruits in variety are constantly arriving, so that my patrons may have plenty to chose from at the coming festive season. I wish all my kind customers a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. H. M, Cabson’s New Fruit and Italian Ware house (next Bank of New Zealand), East street.

TAKE TIME BY THE FORE LOCK.” The circumstances of social life are widely different in these colonies from those at Home, and therefore the colonial market requires different treatment.

It admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the best judges of SEWING MACHINES. Please Read Their Opinions, viz., The New Wheeler and Wilson has more than realised our expectations as to speed, durability, and also in Economising Labor, our work , people express a decided pre ference foir them on account of the ease with which they are workeC.— Bbath, Schiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, ’Vest. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheeler and Wilson Machines are the best we have in use ; they do more work and require less labor than any others we have tried.—A. Masters & Co., 50, Princess street, Dunedin. We use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Economy, Efficiency and Speed, to any other we have tried.—l. and A. Don, Dressmakers, Duncan street, Dunedin. We hajVe had Wheeler and Wilson Machinesin use for the last three years ; we find them more suitable than any .other machines and very durable.— Yates Sons & Co., Drapers, George street, Dunedin. I have pleasure in stating that the Wheeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction. I consider it a better ma chine for work than any other I have trijsd.— Petek Stewart, Draper, Great Erlig street, Dunedin.

MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines—“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Wheeler and Wilson Machine, which performed the feat of sewing together all the parts of a pair of moleskin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and well.” ONLY GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The n ( sw Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon jhave no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tire and] weary the feet. It is evident that the rotjiry motion of the Wheeler and Wilson 1 has much less friction than the shuttle | movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute.



CAUTION. Beware of Hawkera and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly usurious to the health of the operator.
