An Explanation.

A servant girl, who had always attended ivine service, but who also could not read, had, from constant attendance, got be service by rote, and could repeat 16 i-.xtreme'ywell, But a few Sundays previous to her marriage she was accompanied in the same pew by her bean, to whom she did nob ike it to be known that she could not readj she therefore, took up the prayer bo k, and held it before her.

Her lover wished to have a sight of It ilso, but, unfortunately for her, she held it upside down. The mm % astonished, said, ' Why, you have the book wrong -isdn upwards.' 'I kaow it,' said she confusedly, 'I alwaya read so, for I ; left handed.'

A Cheerful Prospect.

' There was a little sparrow that built in a little spout, and when the rata fell it washed that sparrow oat.' Apropos of this the fiis; sparrow we hate seen In Bonrke made ita appearance in Oxley street last week (says the Western Argus). It was seen hopping abonb by several townsmen, and ifc seemed quite pleased to have struck a new home. It Is more than probable that we will soon have thousands of these birds, and the settlers at Pera and others who have fruit gardens will saflflr In due coarse, Bsarke is a good place for sparrows that build in spouts j their nesti will nob often be interfered with by rain. Drought?, dusb flies, mosqultos, beetles, eo3kroach.es, rabbits, and sparrows!

Burdens are Many. ASHBURTON CITIZENS HAVE THEIR SHARE.

Burdens of life are many. Borne people have their share. Pretty hard to bear the burdens of a bad back.

Its aches and pains make you miserable. Learn the cause and remove the harden, Most backache pains some from the kid-

oeys Must cure the kidneys to cure the back, Doan's Backache Kidney Pills will do It. Lots in Aehburbon prove that this ia so. Read what a citizen says:—

Mrs H Dalley, Wills and Cambridge Streets, Hampßtead, this city, says:— • For a number of years I have had a sore trial in sickness. The doctor said It wai caused by internal female ailments. I have since found oat that this was a mistake. The trouble which used me worsb of alt was pain in the ?raall of my back. When I stooped down I could not get up again. Then my left side was apparently paralysed add my left eye was affected. This almost crippled me alone. I also had giddiness and backaches, the giddiness being so great that 1 would be ashamed in the Btreeis aa I would stagger feeling overwhelmed with it. The secretions were as thick aa could be. Scmetimea I would be laid up for a week or two wl h these troubles. No tongue can tell you ail the medicines I swallowed but nob one of them gave me relief till I got Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at the Aehbnrton Drug Oo'a store. I was very bad when I started to take this remedy, but after I had taken it a while I was ever so much better. The pain In my back was gone, giddiness and headaches did not trouble me and my secretions were clear and 1 felt better altogether. I can not say enough about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills.' Take no substitute. There is nothing • just as good as Doan's Backache Kid ney Pil's. They ase sold by all chemists and stoiekeapers at 3s per box (six boxes 16a b'fi), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster McLsllau Co, 76 PiibSt., Sydney, N.S.W.

But be sure they are Doan's.
