THE PLAINT OF A PRETTY GIRL

V (From London Panoh.) (A writer on fashions says that bridesmaids are to be abolished.) Great Hymen ? The bridesmaid abolished ? Then civilisation's played out ! All is op with pretty and polished 1 Make way for old maids and the gout 1 If Oupids's delectable culttts Is verily thus on the wane, What use for the saps to insult us With talk of the triumphs of brain ? Out on art— though from far Yokohama ; On dress, though from Paris it come 1 If a pretty girl's part m the drama Of life is cut out, theifre all hum 1 T'other day it was weddings were stopping ; At least so the quill-drivers cried. As rare as blue roses were ' popping, 1 As scarce as the dodo a bride. Bat oh ! If a girj did not marry, A bridesmaid perchance she might be, A bridal boquet have to carry, Be armed by some bachelor he. Make one of the beautiful bevy Who flooked round the altar m white ; But this last piece of news is so heavy It darkens our last gleam of light. Adieu to the church and the minister 1 I must make up my mind, I'm afraid, To live a disconsola'e spinster, And finish a dowdy old maid. The bridesmaid abolished ? Then banish Bright eye, ruddy lip, slender waist I Let feminine vanity vanish- Love, ten- buttoned gloves, and good taste 1 For what is the use of such matters, If Hymen is out of the bunt ? If men, who are all mad as battara, The altar refuse to confront? If the world, m a mood Buioidal, With honeymoons utterly oloyed, Besolves to abolish the bridal, And loaves pretty girls ' unemployed ?'

ENGLAND V WELLINGTON.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR ENGLAND A DETERMINED STRUGGLE (PBB FBS3S ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, May 14 The matoh between England and the Second Wellington team, not playing under the auspices of the Dnl >n oame off this eftein >on m drizz'ing cloudy weather before two or three th?uiand spectators. The grses was very wet but the ground still remained hard underneath. England played Paul forward at firat and Burnett foil back, while Dr. Brooke made his first appearance la the oniony, bang stationed outside tha scrimmage. The Wellington team remaioed as ohosen on Saturday. At the Btart WelPngtcn •wept all before them, their dribbling taotica proving mooh eoperior to the English passing, which waa a. failure with the greasy ball. la less than 10 minutes Ellison secured a try between the posts bat no goa\ was kicked. After the kick off the ball was driven back to the Englfoh goal and towards Spoakman. Whatman who followed it sharply fell headway over the running man, who stooped V«fore the charge &Dd most unfortunately the dasf I lng Walrarapa player snapped his left leg above the ankle. Dz. Glllon S9t it on the spot, and Whitman was placed upon a gate and taken to- the hospital and the faoture was found to be olean and will heal readily. After this lobs the English men bore their opponents back and made a series of assaults upon their line, and nothing but the collaring of the Welling ton man saved a soore, but rallying at length they assumed the offenti*e> and penned the red white and blue In their own grcnnd. Another toiefortnae then took place, Thompson • getting hiu ehoolder hurt. Be played on till the interval and t<he»,le£t the greosd. Aftec that Wellington played with 13 men and y^of- course, it waß a foregone conclusion. ■ that the Englishmen '-most win, bat tb c local representatives played a gal.ant game and kept a bold front.

At length the coveted score which mast give the game to England oame there, Fairbrother fail ing to take the bill from a punt of Nolan, Eagles who was standing a long way off aide, immediately d»rted as it rolled be teween the posts, but even then, Fair brother might have saved the gams by kicking the ball to the boundary. He tried to touch it dowa bat misted the slipping sphere, and Eaglos had no diffi catty m securing it. Paul kicked a goal After that there was no further soore, though the Englishmen made frantic efforts. Repeatedly the local men, m- j ferior as they were m numbers, dribbled half the length of the ground, and once thay passed all the Englishmen. Punl, who after the the firat try had been pat In his old position, with an expiring effort just managed to kick the rolling ball out of touch towards his own corner ft«?. The «ame ended m a victory for England by four points to one, but there wee little doubt from the splendid defence shown by the Wellington men &nd theeaiy way fn which they dieposed of the Englishmen beforo their ranks were thinned, that it was a nominal victory cnly, Tho game was superior m every respect to that of Saturday, being much more open m charapter and free from unpleasant dis putes. The visitors were m better form after a day's rest, and nono regretted Whatman's accident more than they, especially after the unjust way In which they bad been obarged whh all the rough play of Saturday The beautiful accuracy with which Sim collared tbe speedy Englishmen time after time, was the general theme of admira tion throughout the day. This was the player who was considered the weak spot of the first team, and eventually was dis placed In favor of WarbricV. The En glishmen leave for Now Plymouth to morrow.

Read this certificate : — " 24th April, 1885.— Messrs Sander and Sons,— lt is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Eucalypti Extract. Having bad inflam- mation on the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of low fev6r, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without . success. He found it necessary to amptuate my limb. Having heard m the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had cot been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After apply- ing the extract every four hours for nine or ten days I was out of all danger. I would persuade all who may be affeoted with any Buoh disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and I am convinced that they will fitid it the most wonderful of medicines. — Yours, «to,, E.
