WTHAT A DIFFERENCE there is in y T women. The wise ones have already bought all my White, Blue, and Black Hamburg Net; and'l have only some of the Brown left, in different patterns, and"that is going fast too;, arid 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 be too late. The ladies tell 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 Cuife and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be all 30ld; Embroidery. Id a yard; Ladies' White Stockings, 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 2s. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to 4s, and my Is ones to 3s 6d. Already about three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are 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, arid I 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 skeins Crochet Cotton, 2|d or 2s Id per doz; Hair Pins, 5d a dozen box 63, or i 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 I have just bought—namely, Black Bracelets, 6d 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\e you 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. Ail 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 IS carat, and somebody loses awf nlly on them, I can assure you. As you ladies are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense stock of magnificent Beit 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, 6d per dozen yards; Slates, 3d; Towels, 3d; f reah lot of Bog Oak Brooches, 6d each. I want to see how many sensible tailors will come and buy my CO 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 tho women in Auckland were as sharp as my lady customers, I shouldn't have any 2CO yard reels of Glazed Cotton left to sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at Id per dozen; but there are sure to be some stupid women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at id a yard. I shouldn't be at all surprised but what some of the ladies have been telling then-husbands about my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s Gd, 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 Id 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, 2a ; Crimean ditto, 2s 6d to Is; 18 knots of Piping Cord for 6d, or two a penny; 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 ccood wives they have to be so ingenious. Ladies Handsome Bags, is 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 cf lately, but I have now at 3d to 6d each: handsome Bodkins, 3d a doz; Shoe Brushes, with veneered backs, 3 for 2s Cd; a few dozen Pork Pie Hats leit, reduced to Id each ; a few Men's Courier Bags left at 2s and 2s 6d. Will you believe that lam selliner Linen Shirt Fronts with or without collars, at 6d each; about half of them are already gone. Black Braid, Id a dozen yards; Grey and Brown do. 6d a| gross; Green and Purple do, Is 6d a i-gross ; vv hito handled Knivtfs, 3d each; a few Rink Muffs left. 3s 6d each; a few Waterproof Coats left, reduced to 6s each ; colored Bag Binding, Id a dozen yards ; a few Men's Patont Leather Leggings left, reduced to 3a Cd a pair. I am selling Carte-de-Visites of the principal people in the world at lOd each or 8s a dozen ; Cabinet size, Is 6d each. What will the men do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, adit will not be long, for I have already sold I should think about 45 dozen. I shall want you ladies to buy my hand3ome Bolt 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 Gd. 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 Id a dozeu yards. I wili nOw open a fresh lot of Chignons in separate boxe3 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 3J inches wide 3 Is; black Vulcanite Chain, 9d a yard ; green blue violet and drab Dress Gimp, 2d a yard; also green, blue, and drab Silk .fringe, 3d a yard, Come and see my handsome Black Hair and Hat Ornaments, from 3d to 9d; 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, Is 3d a dozen or ljdareel; Shoemaker's Tape Measures, Id each ; Tasso Trimming, 2d a ya; d; good size colored bordered Pocket Handkerchiefs, 3d each ; good Elastic, 36yds for Is; black glass Dress Buttons, 2d a dozen ; large Black Satin do, _d; Colored do, Id. Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in Auckland, but still I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe some ladies come and get their bargains of me as usual, and hug them all 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 co do good to those they know, including myself. I have a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business. There 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 wish to remember. Tell your husbands to come and see my strong useful fchoes at Is a pair.—VV. H. Dampier, Victoria-street, corner of Hobson street. • OOTS ! BOOTS ! SELLING OFF*! SELLING OFF !-C.

rjTAXATION TDELIEVED m- READ THIS CAREFULLY. Much ado is being made at the present time about the tax on Beer, and the cry is—" Why tax the poor man any more." But without dis cussing the pros, and cons, of the above tax, J. LEVY would call the attention of the Public of Auck land—and especially tho Working Classes—to the Great Reduction which he has made in the price of Men's, Boy's, and Youth's READY-MADE CLOTHING. This great reduction on what is really necessary for the Working Man's comfort, will more than recompense him for the tax on beer. Warm Clothing is a neces-ity ; Beer is a luxury. Be wise, therefore, and have necessities first, and if you have any spare Cash afterwards, then indulge in luxuries. J.

LADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS !— , Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting a Sewing Machine. First: Be not misled by long and extravagant 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 • I Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because I it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can confidently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing _M- a. en_ in, _ 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;— Inspection invited at the Sole Agent's, T.
