WHAT A DIFFERENCE there is in women. ' The wise ones have already bought all my White, Blue, and Black Hamburg Net, and I have only Borne of the Brown left, in .''different patterns, and that is going fast.too; and no .wonder, when I am selling it'at the ridiculous price of Is a yard. I have just bought a lot of Black, White, and Brown Hamburg Trimming, and will sell it at 2d, 3d, and 4d yard; so don't De too late. The ladies tall me there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland, than I am, and no wonder, when lam always buying them something nice. I only wish I could get some more Shirt Fronts like I am now selling at 6d each. What would the Queen say if she saw my new lot of lovely. Cuffs and Collars ? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be all sold; Embroidery, id a yard; ladies' White Stockings, 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 2s. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to 4a, and my 4s ones to 3s 6d. Already aboub three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of aye sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, and over 2 feet wide. If there are any married men who wish their wives to live a long while, and 1 believe there are some who do, let them prove it by treating their wives to one of these Shawls this cold weather. Toilet Fringe, Id a yard; Lace, Id a yard: Clark's pkeins Crochet Cotton, 2jd or 2s 4d per doz; Hair Pins, od a dozen boxes, or 2 boxes a penny; Towels, 3d and 6d ; Trouser Buttons, 2d per dozen. If you wish to look like a Queen, come and see the lovely bargains 1 have just bought—namely, Black Bracelets, Cd per pair. They look like real jet. Such lovely, Necklets, with lockets, 3s each. They look -like 18 carat gold, and if they are not I will gi\ eyou your money back. I will now give your hus bands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftener by selling such handsome Watch Guards at 2s each. All I need say about them is that though " they may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well as many that are 18 carat, and somebody loses awfully on them, I can assure you. . As you ladies are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense stock of magnificent Belt Clasps, the highest price of which is Is a pair. The small shopkeepers should buy quickly my round Looking Glasses at Bd, Is, and Is 6d per dozen; Silk Cushion Cord, 6<i per dozen yards; Slates, 3d; Towels, 3d; fresh lot of Bog Oak Brooches, 6d each. I want to see how many sensible tailors will come and buy my EO inch Tape Measures at Id each, worth 6d; my Liden Machine Thread at 6d a 2oz. reel, and my Tailor's Thimbles at 9d a doz., worth 3d each. If all the women in Auckland were as sharp as my lady customers, I shouldn't have any 200 yard reels of Glazed Cotton 16ft to sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at 4d per dozen; but there are sure to be some stupid women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at 4d a yard. I shouldn't be at all surprised but what some of the ladies have been telling their husbands about my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s 6d, as there has been a great run on them lately. I have also some at 2s. Handsome Coloured Satin Fur niture Trimming, 6d per yard; Coloured Fur- Braid, 6d per dozen yards; Black and Green Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards; Black Bugle Dress Gimp, reduced to 4d per yard. Isn't it a wonder ladies that I manage to live when I am continually reducing something for you. Satin and Velvet Tubular Trimming, 2d per yard; White Diamond Braid, 6d per dozen yards ; Window Blind Cord. 6d per dozen yards ; White Handled Knives and Forks, 9d per pair ; Men's Coloured Shirts, 2s ; Crimean ditto, 2s 6d to 4s ; 13 knots of Piping Cord for 6d, or two a penny r American Cloth for table covers, Is 3d per yard. Some ladies I hear are mak ing Cushions with my twopenny Hair Pads, and Antimacassars of my Hamburg net. I wish more of the Men knew what good wives they have to be so ingenious. Ladies Handsomo Bags, 4s 6d; Brazil Nuts, 6d per lb; a fresh lot of the Wonderful Two Shilling Tea. I have'nt had any Children's Poll Combs to boast of lately, but I have now at 3d to 6d each; handsome Bodkins, 3d a doz ; Shoe Brushes, with veneered backs, 3 for 2a 6d; a few dozen Pork Pie Hats lett, reduced to <td each ; a few Men's Courier Bags left at 2s and 2s 6d. Will yon believe that lam solline Linen Shirt Frontg with or without collars, at 6d each; about half of them are already gone. Black Braid, 4d a dozen yards; Grey and Brown do. 6d a igross; Green and Purple do, Is 6d a J-groaa ; White handled Knives, 3d each ; a few Rink Muffs left, 3s 6d each; a few Waterproof Coats left, reduced to 6s each ; colored Bag Biudincr. 4d a dozen yards; a few Men's Patant Leather Leggings left, reduced to 3s 6d a pair. I am selling Carte-de-Visites of the principal people in the world at lOd each or 8s a dozen ; Cabinet size, la 6d each. What will the men do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are ail gone, audit wilf not be long, for I have already sold 1 should think about 45 dozen. I shall want you ladies to buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d to Is as soon as you can, as I have bought over 92 dozen. 1 have also bought about 80 dozen pairs of Bracelets, which I am selling 6d and 9d a pair, and they are beauties ; ladies high Button Boots, 5s 6d. Some ladies have sense enough to give me Is 6d for a good Umbrella, but they don't all appear to have. Military Braid reduced to 4d a dozen yard 3. I will now open a fresh lot of Ohignons in separate bozes and sell them at Is. All the others I now reduce to 9d. I have also a- great bargain in Ribbon at Id to 8d a yard ; do. nearly 3£ inches wideß Is; black Vulcanite Chain, 9d a yard ; green blue violet and drab Dress Gimp, 2d a yard,; alao green, blue, and drab Silk fringe, 3d a yard, Come and see my handsome Black Hair and Hat Ornaments, from 3d to9d; White Bed Lace, 6d a dozen yards. lam now selling the coarse Reels of Machine Silk that the ladies like at 2d or Is 9d a dozen; 30 yards do, Is3'i a dozen or ljdareel; Shoemaker's Tape Measures, Id each ; Tasso Trimming, 2d a yai d; good size colored bordered Pocket Handkerchii-fs, 3d each ; good Elastic, 36yds for. Is; black Rlass Dre33 Buttons, 2d a dozen ; large Black Satin do, 4d; Colored do, 4d. Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in a uckland, but btill I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe some ladies come and get their bargains of mo as usual, and hug them a.l to themselves, not saying a word to their friends about the wonder ful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and tell the price they have paid, and bo do good to those they know, including myself. I have a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business. Thore is one advantage the ladies will gain by reading this advertisement over again, and that is they will be able to write down what they wieh to remember. Tell your husbands to come and see my strong useful Shoes at 4s a pair.—W. H. Dampier, Victoria-street, corner of Hobson street. Q1 E L L I N G 0 F FI 1 THE WHOLE OF THE WINTER STOCK!

First: Be not misled by long and extrayagant puffs in the papers about Machines which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. 2nd: Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to psy dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his Intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can confidently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's, T.
