Lost in the Bush.

One of Dunediii'a oldest inhabitants, who is still hale and hearty, has owned one of the coiner sections vi the city ever since the first sale of town land took place, soon after the foundation of the settlement. The original price was only £12 10s, but it is now worth at least £50,000. When the diggings rush took place a Melbourne merchant wanted to buy the section, and offered him £1000 for it. This seemed at the time a fabulous sum to the owner, who, however did. not want to sell* "Gae awa' wi' ye mon he aaid to the tempter, "ye canna have come by your money honestly or ye wadnabesae free wi'yer thousands. — Extract from the "Bulletin," June 28, 1890. Gentle reader, the above paragraph is deeply instructive. You all have heard of the man who swopped his land in Collins Street, Melbourne, for a bottle of rum, because his land was " too far in the bush." Most of you know men, who to day are wealthy through their foresight id buying land and hclding in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, etc. After having read the above just think for a moment, does it not strike you that now is the time for you to buy land at Perth, the capital city of Western Aus trail's " the coming colony." It is now scarcely, 18 months since responsible Government was granted, and the "Cinderella" of the ground has taken her'position beside her sister colonies and will prove a formidable rival. Business and villa site* may be purchased in Perth from £5 5s per lot, payable 10s monthly, no interest charged. Title, clear cer tificate. Plans and full particulars from P. Callighan, junr., 134 Swanson-street, corner of Little Collins ttreet, Melbourne. N.B Every lot is guaranteed high, well drained, free from any defects, and per fect building land.

Stop Drinking.

" Ican't" are two little words seldom used By a man who drinks; to use them he thinks is t»n evidence of weakness, and bo we wonder why, when he quits, he doesn't stay quit;. If we knew all, our wonder would be, with that terrible craving at his vitals, ho is able to resist even for a short time—a craving on which will-power, moral suasion, the pledge, self-respect, have no effect whatever, and which until recently has been ah insur mountable bar to reform in thousands upon thousands of cases. But Uptime has come when that craving can be stopped ! Sure. Just as sure as it is possible to cure a cold. The appetite can be destroyed ; the man placed back, so far as drinking is concerned, just where he was before he acquired the habit. The cure does not destroy the will, but the appetite. So he will have to learn to rink all over ai?ain, and the effort will be so great that if he is worth saving he won't make it. R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 1 destroys the drink appetite R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 2 is the best brain and nerve tonic on th s earth. At all chemists and storekeepers _(Advt>. _____ 10 *11

THE ASHBURTON GUABDI4N: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1892-



J An extraordinary freak on the part of a hen is recorded by th« Dunedin "Globe." Me ats Watson and Loggie, of George street, Dunedin, have a bulldog slut which 18 days ago g*ve birth to f*»ur pups. The pups have been taken charge of by a hen, which sit on and circs for them as she would for a brood of chickens. The hen exhibits great concern for the safety of the Hips, and whenever they go to sleep, she spreads her wings over them till they wake. vVhen grain is thiown to her she clucks and distributes it to the pups, and allows them to clamber over her, and pull her about as they choose. The mother of the pups has hitherto shown a strong dislike for hens, killing every one that came within her reach, but strange to say she never inter feres with the hen which has taken charge of the pups and will fiercely resent any interference with her. The pups weigh about 4Jlbs each, and seem as much con tented with the hen as with their mother.
