FOR THE CAUSE THAT FAGGS ASSISTANTS.

To the Editor: Sir,—"Contentment's" two simple reasons for keeping open the drapers' establish ments within an nou'r of Sunday morning, are certainly unique. To all outward appearances the majority of those we meet in Queen-street on Saturday nights are people who could select any day in the week to visit their butcher, baker, grocer, or draper; the sales made by the latter, especially on Saturday nights, coming more under the head of superfluities. "Content ment" may entertain his own morbid nature with cheap gaslight and promenades ; the growing spirit of the agef avours progress and early closing. I feel assured that the sympathies of all liberal minded people are with the "fagged draper's assistant—may the right hand of f ellowahip be extended to him. that he also, after a week of weaiisome labour, may refresh himself and promenade in the gaslight of "Contentment —at home!—l am, sir, A Regular Subscriber. To the Editor: Sir,—A number of letters have lately anpeared in your columns with reference to early closing; most of them have been in favour of the movement. Drapers, grocers and butchers are those to whom such a movement would be of immense value. Some may ask 1 j What is those people's grievance % It is, that they should be put on an equal footing with the great maiority of wages-earning people in this city. Drapers and grocers work 10 hourson ordinary days and from 15 to 17 on Saturdays; the butchers, b. sides having longer hours, have harder work. It would not, perhaps, feel quite as bad to these people if they were to be paid in proportion to the time they are at business ; but it is not so; a great many of: them,who are laden with responsibility, and have their thinking powers heavily taxed, receive about as much as a labouring man, who has no thinking, no responsibilities.aud who receives in addition a few hours for himself on Saturday afternoon. Looking round, we find wholesale merchants and drapers, banks, insurance offices, auc tioneers, b'acksmiths, stationers, jewellers, ironmongers, shofiinakei., tinsmiths, engineers, all have half-a-day on Saturdays. Surely these, people receive their wages before 6 p.m., and could purchase their Sunday's supply before 11 o'clockoa Saturday night. Men who work on the road cutting-, bricklayers, carpenters, millers, carpenters, millers, timber merchant employes, painters, have all left work at four o'clock. Surely these people would not deprive their fellow-men of that luxury they so much em'oy themselves, I appeal to all these people to help us in obtaining a few hours recreation on Saturday afternoons. Many of these hard-worked people are engaged on the Sunday in endeavouring to train the rising generation of Auckland in uprightness and purity, and Saturday afternoon would be of incalculable benefit to them. On Sunday, these generous men are doing a great work Tor the people of Auckland. I appeal to the master men of Auckland to help us in this laudable movement by paying their employes on Fridays, and so putting it in the power ot every one to make their purchases on Saturday morn ing; and lastly, Mr Kditor, I appeal to you to stand by your motto, "For the cause that lacks assistance." to aid us in obtaining the boon. I trust, with the aid of your powerful influence, we, who never have any recreation beyond the ordinary holidays, will soon be set on an equal footing with our fellow-man.—l am, yours &c, Humanity. __, __ . ~._ T "Grocer," "Working Man," and One In terested" write in a similar strain. An Em ployer" writes:—" It would be far better tor the trade if they would make the market-day (Friday) the busy one, which they can easily do by closing at 1 p.m. on Saturdays—the same as the banks, warehousemen, timber merchants, &C It would re a considerable saving of gas money in the year to the employer, and oon fer a great boon on the emploj'6. -every body must agree with the old adage: All work ana no play makes Jack a dull boy.' I would suggest that the drapei-s call a general meeting ; get the Mayor or some well-known clergyman to take the chair; discuss the m atter thoroughly; aud have a petition ready for signature. I believe all employers in Queen-street would respond heartily. The public could make their pur chasas during the week, and everything would be settled satisfactorily to all parties."

the peculiar views entertaiued north of the Tweed as to the observance of Sunday are supposed to have lost ground lately, they are still, it appears, held in all their old intensity by the Sabbath Alliance of Scotland. That body held a meeting recently and adopted a report protesting against alleged " Sabbath- desecration "on the part of the Queen and the Prince of Wales—in the one case by Her Majesty going on Sunday to an island iv Loch Maree, and in the other by a visit paid by the Prince to Mr. Drew's famous stable of Clydesdales, at Merrytown, near Hamilton. There was, however, one element of satis faction : if Roy.ilty breaks the Sabbath, humble people do not, even to please the Queen herself. The report, went on to congratulate the Alliance on the fac*-- that the boatmen who usually ply on Loch Maree had refused to convey the Royal party, and that the hotel-keeper there hud been obliged to employ his own servants. The committee were also pleased to find that the " worthy innkeeper at Achnasheen " had declined to allow his horses to be used in carrying letters to Loch Maree on the Lord's Day while the Queen was there. The committee finally expressed deep grief "that the Royal family should so frequently manifest disregard for the sacred day of rest, which mustinevitadle encourage others to do the same. _

"CISSENCE OF THE BLUE GUM, aBUCALYPTI°GLOBULUS. The Australian Anti-Fever Tree—That is, the Blue Gum, or Eucalytus globulus—has now spread its fame throughout the world, though many do not properly estimate its splendid qualities.! The Essence as manufactured by Messrs Sander and Son, although not a panacea for every ill that flesh is heir to, is, nevertheless a Grand Remedial Agent. In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any case of Fever, nothing will protect better against contagion than a few drops of the essence poured in the palm, of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapours, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will be noticed for a great length of time. Inwardly used, take three or four drops in half a tumbler of water. The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole constitution, correcting Indigestion, and creating a Healthy Appetite. In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a 3aucer, and put into the room, will, being an etheric essence, evaporate, and fill the room with the purifying vapour. Are you obliged to travel 1 A few drops oc casionally rubbed on the body will protect against any contagion you may be exposed to in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping In the same room with, or in beds occupied pre viously by, sick persons. All Hotelkeepers will do well in sprinkling Erom time to time in drawers, where linen is usually kept, a few drops of the pure essence. It produces no spots whatever, as every particle if it evaporates, and nothing remains. For all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scaldings.Ulcers md Cancerous Wounds, a piece of linen wrapped round the suffering part, and moisted with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will .top all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In cases where a piece of linen cannot be applied, the moistening of the suffering part with the pure jssence will do as well. In Case of Colds, moisten the nostrils with a lew' drops and inhale the vapour, and you will !eel the immediate relief and entire riddance of ;he heat.
