THE FOUR CITIES : MAORILAND

WELLINGTON.

Here, whare the surges of a world of sea Break on our bastioned walla with league long aweep, Four fair young queens their lonely splendor keep, Each on a oity throned. The first is she Whose face is arrogant with empiry ; Her throne from out the wounded hill side's steep Is rudely fashioned, and beneath her creep The narrow streets; and stretching broad and free- Like a green waving meadow-—lies the bay, With blossom tails and flowery wavelets flecked. Elate she standsj her brown and wind-blown hair Haloes a face with virgin freshness fair, As she reoeivea, exuberant, erect, The stubborn homage that her sisters pay S

DUNEDIN.

And one ia dear and loving, and her face Is stung with winter's kisses, and is yet With winter's tears of parting sorrow wet, And ail her figure speaks of winsome grace. High on the circling hills her seat has place, Within » bower of the green bush set; And 'heath her feet the city lies—a net Of broad-built; streets and green-girt garden space. And high behind, the climbing suburbs crown (The city's battlements; and she who reigns Binds them, her captives, with a moving wire. Proad of her riches and her broad domains, And on her gleaming city looking down, She needs no new ambition or desire !

CHRISTOHURCH.

And one within a level city lies; To whose tree-shadowed streets and parks succeeds. A vista of white roads and bordered meads, Until each suburb in the great plain dies. A crows of clustered spires above her rise ; And for a girdle round her form she loads The Avon, green with waving river-weeds And swept with swaying willows. And her eyes Are quiet with a student's reverie, And ia the hair that clouds her dreaming face There lurks the fragrance of aome older place, And memories awake to die again, As confident and careless, sorrow-free, She waits, the queen of all the golden plain t

AUCKLAND.

Lulled in sweet sunshine is the last fair queen, As o'er her shining oity she holds sway, Her throne in sleeping Eden. And through grey And red strewn roads and gleaming gardens green The oity goes, and lingering seems to lean To bathe its beauty in the cool, clear bay That out past isle and itilet winds its way To the wide ocean. In her hair a sheen Of sunlight lives s her face is sweetly pale— A queen that seems too fair and maidenly— Her beauty all too delicate and frail— To hold a sway imperious. But forth. From deep, dark eyes that dreaming seem to be, There shines the strength and passion of the North! . Arthur H. Adams. Wellington, MtL. (in the Bulletin), wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A small Scotch boy was summoned to give evidence against his father, who was accused of making disturbances in the streets. Said the baiilie to him—" Oome, my Jwee mon, speak the truth, and let us know all ye ken about this affair." "Weel, sir," said the lad, " d'ye ken Inverness Street!'': "Ids, laddie," said his Worship, " Weel, . ye gang along it and turn into the square and cross the square—" "^es, yea," said the baiilie, encouragingly. "An' when ye gang across the square ye turn to the right, aud up into Middle Street, and keep on up Middle Street until ye come to a pump." 11 Quite right, my lad ; proceed," said hia , Worship, *' I know the old pump well," *' Well," said the boy, with the most in fantile simplicity, • Ye may gang and pump it, for yell no pump me."

Dunlof, Ashburton and Wellington mHIS COMPANY is being formed for JL the purpose of acquiring from the vendor the sole patent rights held and ap plied for by him in the above invention in all parts of the world. The vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in cash for the rights acquired by him, the whole interest in, and the title to which are handed over to the Company. It is proposed by the promoters of this Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which is increasing daily, will realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can be safely applied to al j parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again in Spring. The stem and main branches may be safely dreased at any period of the year. One good dressing will be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re quire further dressing for years. For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelbaud's Patent Blight Specific will be found a most effectual remedy. It will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wopd, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit. The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Codlia Moth, increasing the growth and keeping the tree in a fresh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable cost. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it is gratifying to be able to herein add the very satisfactory reports of the ex- 1 oeedingly severe teats,to which the Specific has been subjected. The specific being manufactured under the care and supervision of the patentee can be sold at the small coat of 10a per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market bow, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. la order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which ia recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1873, we tate :— It proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and repotted by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moaler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are Mtnrated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous fend other substaneos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Molntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value, SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be claesed moag the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, do therapeutic effect;, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. (These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt xtracts, are applied by mistake in cases of roup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal niamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling.
