COINCIDENCE.

The Wairarapa Star say« that a corresp ondent supplies the following:—A. ladjr well-known in Ohrlß^chatob had two sona and a daughter. One son had lived in . Canada for many years, and the daughter had beenliving inEngland Binoe childhood. The other sod was in New Zemhnd, When the war broke out, both boys joined colonial contingents—one the Canadian, the other the New Zealand- and landed in Capetown the fame day. Despite th« bustle and excltemtnt of landing troops and hordes, and tha immense number of men in Capefown, these two boyi met, after twelve years separation, recognised each oth*r, and had dinner together, . To complete this c incidence, indeed remarkable In itself, the sister of the two hoys was en route from "England to Neir Zealand, and landed in Capetown for one day, and saw the New Zealatd and Canadian Contingents land, little dream ing that amongst them were her two brothers, who she had nob seen for mat>y, many years. Truly, the world is very L-malL 1

TELL HIM SO.

If you have a word of ehe« Tnat may light the pathway drear Of a brother pilgrim here, Let him know. I Show him you appreciate What he does, and do not wait Till the heavy hand of fate j Lays him low. If your heart contains a thought 1 That would brighter make his lot, . (Then, 1 beg you, hide it Dot; Tell him so. Life is hard enough at best, Bat the lave that is expreiied Makes it seem a pathway blest To our feet; , ■ And the troubles that we share Sf em the easier to bear. Smile upon your neighbour's ca As you greet. Rough and stony are our ways, Dark and dreary are our days, But another's love and praise Makes them sweet. Wait not till your friend is dead Era your compliments are eaid, For the spirit that hat Had, I! it know Does not seed to epeed it on Our poor praise j- where it has gone . Lovete eternal, golden dawn Is aglow, ; But unto our brother here That poor praise is very dear. If you've any word of cheer. Tell him so. —Denver Newt.

Stranded Americans.

STRANGE PLIGHT OF CHRIS TIAN ENDEAVOTJRERS. A large number of American tourists were Btranded at Paris under remark able circumstances. Most of them belong to tho Onriatian Endeavour, and they state that some months back they paid sums, ranging from 350 to 500 dollars, to a Boston Tourist Agency for a trip through Europe. The Agent, they assert, chartered the Saale and the Maine, of the North German Loyd Company, for his clients some 1500 in number, but those ships were burning in the great fire at New York, and as a consequence several weeks' delay occurred in starting. When the tourists arrived in Europe their railway coupons were out of datt aod the rooms at the hotel, which had been engaged in advance for a fixed date were by this time occupied by other persons* The agent seems to have done  his best;, bat eventually had to tele graph to his clients that he had come to tbe end of his resources. At this time several hundred tourists were at Lucerne, several hundreds at Genera and several hundreds at Venice. Many of them, principally ladies, have managed to make their way to Paris, and they are wondering how they will be able to re turn to tbe United States. There are some very sad cases among the stranded Christian Endeavourers. A number of them, lady school teachers, whoee sav ings were all expended iv the trip to Europe, now find themselves in a strange country without resources. It appears that in many instances the passages are booked from Havre, but the boat did not sail until the end of August. The ua fortunate people declared that they did not know how to exist in the meantime or how to raise the railway fare to the port. __________

Acquaintance.

If a man does not make new acquain tance as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendship i& constant repair,

sore dire For General Weakness. The debilitating effects of a warm climate and exposure to all kinds of weather are sure to bring on disorders of the blood and weaken the system. Mr. Charles CJeddes, of Mt. Malcolm, W. A. t sends us his photograph, and tells of a sure cure for these conditions. ♦' For some time I have been landlord of the Rpyal Hotel in the Mt. Margaret gold fields district, eighty miles from the nearest railway. I have sold a great deal of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, ; and it gives the most universal satisfaction. Wnett miners, prospectors, and others become run down by lack of fresh vegetables and fruits, and from exposure to all Kinds of weather, their blood becomes very impure and the whole system greatly weakened. But AVER'S Sarswarina Is always a euro cure, niavs known miners to send a hundred miles for it, such is their faith in it." To cure constipation, biliousness, in digestion, and sick headache, there is no remedy equal to Ayer's Pills. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Aj'er & Co., Lowell. Mass.. U.S.A.
