FLOWER SHOW NOTES. '

(To the Editor). Sll^ — Righteousness reigns, and of it man kind is much enamoured. Nevertheless wrong will sometimes assert itself, does occa aionally nsurp the place, assume the guise and dignity of' right-wrong's admonisher and moral opposite. Prtfbity ia everywhere preached, but is seldom practised in its integrity. Gentlemen who onginate and organise flower shows are all upright and , honourable men. About a verity so obvious there can be no dispute. But true it is that I most ordinary men are maculate ; peccable and purblind is old mortality. Some experiences of to-day have made me j moody, meditative, and a bit belli- j cose, My sense of justice has suffered sonic outrage. Since early morning I j have consorted with gardeners, with men who grow greens and other kindred commo dities for the million. I have been to the Drill-shed to feast my eyes on the Dowers, fruits ; and ou the fine vegetable display furnished forth by the exhibitors for public instruction and diversion. Such displays gratify mc much. To me csmmunion with flowers ia exulting. Where there is no good garden produce there is a lack of civilization. Where there arc plenty of carrots and cabbages, carnations and cloves, there is plenty of culture, ot the kinds moral and mental. The sight of. a'1 lily, the scent ot a rose, have a tendency to pnrge1 the spirit of its impurities. Despite the protracted summer drought—despite the ravages of insect hosts-despite the pilfer ing propensities of that arch marauder " the little cock sparrow,"'tis clear that this colonial land has brought forth abundantly. Reader, in imagination, run your eye along the table on which the various fruits are placed In competition, a*"d having well linked and lusted, you should find voiirsclf tree of a wish to commit an act of petty larceny,- jou may safely conclude that you arc mure I linn mortal. Mark tho peaches how luscious they look, and tho plums and pears how provocative of desire thoy aro. Oh, how intensely one long 3to inseft one's incisors into the freckled llesh of those plurffp pippino. How ardently one yearns to salute tiio Shocks of those rosy Kipstonc. As one of Eve's descendants, 1 confess to having inherited a fondues.'; for a line apple from the initiator of tiaosgroasioU With the qualities of that dish of medlars,! will not presume to meddle. For the fruit of the Ficus I cue not a iig, but for the classic fruit—the purple product of the vine yard—l entertain iv vivid regard. To say thai those fine bunches make my mouth water is lo say next to nothing ; and lo I those golden melons, how the eye luxuriates in tlieir contempla tion, liow rich is the odour they ai/fuse, and how the sense olfactory regales itselt In th«s exhaled essence. With you ladies, whei.' you leave tbe booth, you may carry oil the perfume without risk of reproof or reprisal. That >'ew Zealand is destined to become a line fruit country is certain. The Dominion and the Slates produce apples of excellent quality, but to say sooth I never saw better than those which gladdened my sight to-day at the Drill-shed. The character of the season considered the vegetables wore good. There wsre some capital carrots and turnips, the latter howsuggestive of South-down mutton, of dark November days, of happy English homes, of old country fireside felicity. Leeks, onion?, and pota toes, were specially line. The flavour of the potatoes of the colony is unique. This is saying much, but not morel think (ban the truth demands. Credit is certainly due to the horticulturists and husbandmen of the colony. Let thanks then be freely bestowed on the sturdy tillers of the virgin ground. Since tbe 12th of January last the beauties of the beds aud borders have had of it a torrid time. To this cause must be ascribed the premature exhaustion of flowers of all kinds. The leavei of most plants are now sear and yellow, and their blossoms arc badly burnt by fervent solar beams. The slage devoted to the display of cut bloom was not more than half furnished. It may, with truth, bo said that this section of the show was the one that alibrded the lea*l satisfaction. The most attractive object iv this department, and wellnigh the only onr worthy of critical notice, was a model flower garden, the product of Mr Bollen's hand and brain. Amongst put plants Mi Mori in's ferns were conspicuous ; they were well grown, and merited the praise which the award impliad. Mr Mason's things were generally good. and certainly deserved the laudation so lavishly accorded, but his half dozen colons were not of equal merit with those of Mr Gilles pie. Iv England such plants as those of Ml Mason would he, sans cercnionie, disquali lied. There floreculture has become one of the line arts. The vatilies weie inferior, the foliage was small and colourless, ant some of it much jagged and pcrfoiated, llk pots in which they were grown were, in size wash tubs. They were Kjuat, too formal, inelegant, and conglomerate. The plants in place of being single, were aggregations t'f Mr Gi.'l.'spioV plants I say that 1 bey wen a trifle too t ill, but by some critics it wai thought that from that defect they derived a degree of additional grace. Judges then were but two, three being tbe normal mini her. Hut one actually, tbe other gentlemai nut being a trained professional, was ol course nothing more than a recording cob league. It was my knowledge ol thii fact which made me moody, meditative, and warlike. There were othei iuftanccs of error on the part of the judges, but the case cited was the most gross. Mj sage prefatory musings, my eulogistic com ments, nnd my concluding critical remarks, will, I dare say, bj regarded as gallimaufry, but for a mess of hotchpotch, the flavour 1 ween will prove creditable to the composer. —Yours &c, J. Boletn. Parnell, March 19.

The Conscientious Burglar.

.*, Reginald wai a pleasant old gentleman, will a line sense, of humour. Ho had considerabli property, and lived on Wimbledon Common. lie, had one beautiful daughto'—But that is not to the point. Ono afternoon, as Old Rcghald was reading hooks in his drawing room, it was nunounced tc him that a Common Man dcsirsd to speak witt him. He gavo orders that the Common Man should bo admitted. And admitted tho Common Man was. Ho was a ve-v Common Man, indeed, till shambling, ill-looking fellow, vim an irresolute manner and shrinking t.e. Ho was dressed at costormongfi's are dre-sEOd when following theii calling. " What is your pleasure, geod sir," said Old Reginald. "Bog pardon, guvnor." sad tho Common Man. " I hope you won't bo hard on me," " Not nt all," replied Old Reginald. "I'm—l'm a burglar," ?aid tho Common Man. " Inrto-dI" said Reginald, " Tak« a chair." Thank you kindly, guvnor," ssid he, "but Id rather stand." And ho did st'nd. fco far f-ero is nothing very IncreoWe in my s'ory. But it gets moro remarkable as it good on. "How do you like your profession T sail Old Reginald. "Well guvnor," sail tho Comron Man, "I don't like it noways, and that's it." "That's what?' "That's why I'm hero. I rclonar to a gang of twelve wot s wrrking ihcs* rortsjust now. Wo cracks cr;l>3 by turn", its—it's my turn to nigh!..' And to I urg'ar wept, liko a c.hid. '"I his I presume, ii R-morse,' said old Reginald, "No, guv'no-, it ain't Remorse,' slid the burglar. " it's Funic." '"I he same, thing "eaid Retrinnld. 'li aiu' Ihe be ng a burgla- lhat I obiectto.

"1 thought burglars always worked in twos or threes I, said Old Reginald. "P'raps I ought to know best," suggaeted the burglar. "Perhaps you aro right. Indrod, I am sure you ought. What crib eto you propose to crack to-nielu V " This here ono." "Miner " Vourn," "Oh I " An old Rcgirald prepared to ring tho bell. Pleaso. don't do that, Gn.'nor. You ain't never agoir, to give mo into custody!" "1 think I hid boiler." "No no, Guvnor don't do that. Listen to mo lirst. lain tagoin'to hurt you. It's my turn to crack your crib to-aigbt. Now, will you help nio r " "I hardly sop my way," suid old Reginald, thoughtfully. "Still it I can be ot any use—" Look hero, guvnor, each momb"r of our gang is bound to Ret fifty pounds worth of swag trom each crib he cracks If ho don't ho's shot, isow I sco a handsome silver enlvor and cott'os lottind crenm.iugaslcoinoiuhero. Wotm'gut be tho value ol that Imnelsomo silver salvot and collee-pot "The cream jug is electro. Tho coffee-pot, with sugar basin and salver, may bo worth flvo and forty poind'," "Thata near enough. I'll take'cm. Ho-o is a flimsoy for lirty q id." And he handed Old Reginald a bank noto fcr that amount. || Still I don't quito understand—" 'I want you, guvnor, to bo eogood as to leave your bedroom window open to-night, and place that silver collee-pot at d them silve>r traps where I oan get'em. I shall have cacked my crib, hagucd my swag, a«d made myself safo until my turn comes round again." " Ojilainly," s.iid old Reginald, holding up the no)o to tbe ,ight. "But let mo ask how jou can afi'ord to pay so handsomely fur your depre detlo"?" "There was a dozen on vs, Bir. Eaoh on us cracks a crib once in four months and each swags at lea<t fifty pounds worth—of ten more but at least that. Af er each plant tho p-oftts ore divided. Last quarter tbe twelve cribs ef.cktd brought us iv eleven hundred pounds— that* ninety odd pounds apiece. Ween roy turn comes 1 pr»y a fair price for the fifty pounds worth I Bwnr-Mforlhavnbeenhonourably brought up), and I pets forty pounds to Ihe good.

ANOTHER OLD BIBLE.

The old Bible printed in IGI9, m j__ described on Wednesday, has been beatens the matter of antiquity by another printed • 1594, which was shewn to us to-day by to Wilkes, of Newton, iv whose family it 1 been for many years. The imprint statlf " Imprinted at London hy the Deputie**! Christopher Barker, printer to the On™ < Most Excellent Mujeatie 1594." fig" page is as follows v—"The Bible.That r the Holy Scriptures contained i n the Olrf and Newe Testament r translate,! aecordi!! to the Ebrew and GiceKe, and eonfemS with the best translations in divers 1 glides. With most profitable annf tations upon all the hard P ) a "" and other things of great importance" There is a dedication to the reader and" \ chapter ou the " Incomparable Treasure *f ' the Holy Scriptures, with a prayer for the true use of the same." The most interest ing feature _s a literary treasure is in Gene sis 3rd, v. 7, which reads as follows: «__ the eics of both were opened and they knew they were naked, aud they sewed fio leaves together and made tbemse'v^ breeches." The Bible is interspersed with • wood letter engravings in the old style showing topographical plans of p] ace ' mentioned in the Old and New Testaments and other things in the sacred narrative' The book has apparently been frequently rebound, and it is to be regretted that some ignoraut binder in reducing the size of tbe book has cut the margins, which are vain,, able for identification ot the edition.

Fevers which so quickly fasten on tho debili tated system may easily be kept away by tho timely uso ot tbis tST MOST WONDERFUL REMEDY I •&» In fact, by its uso"* the Most Malignant of Tropical Foyers havk been ejected from tbo Human Systom, and by its aid Dying, Fever-stricken Men have been, as it woro, RAISED FROM THE DEAD I As Is shown by the following Interesting TALIS OF THE PACIFIC! A TALE OF THE PACIFIC. Wm. Opperman, Hrq., a wealthy island trader was for some months lying ill at ifappomamrna an Island of the Kingstuill Grou",in the Pacific Ho had been seized with rheumatic fevor, which wna followed by complicated disorders of a tor rib y sevcro nature, assuming the form of a specie,- of palsj never beforo known. Tho suf ferer's l'nihs swelled, the legs lost all sensibility to pan; the foot couid ho wrenched round or tho bkin pierced with a lanco without inflicting the slightest suffering. Tho flick man was evi dently uncorscious of his having legs, and his brain wa' seriously affected as if with lunacy, in this doplnrnblo state ho was kindly brough from the is amis to Auckland by Mr H. Hender son in the echorncr Coronet. Captain Moeller and, bomg a German, he was received by the German l onsul, •*•. Yon der Hoyde, Esq , ond placed in tho District Hospital, whero he re ceived treatment for three weeks with no indica tion of Improvement, hij caso being pronounced by ono and all a most hopeless one. Tiio captain of tho Corono', knowing that extraordinary cures had been effected by tho uso oC Hitchens' Celebrated Blood Rcstoicr requested tho proprietor of tho Blood Restorer to lako the caso >n hand, and a contraot was ordered into of " i'-'o euro, no pay." Mr Hitchons proceeded to the Hospital, examined tho invalid and found him in an apparently dying state wirh scarcely a spajk of lifo loft. Mr Hitchons ordered the suffering man to bo removed to hie (Mr H.'k) private residence, where his wants could personally be attended to b- Mr Hitchens 'iho latter administered tho medicino(the Blood Restorer) and used the ointment freely. Mean while clergymen called, pronouncing tho cano beyond I ho power of man to effect a cure. How ever, after six weeks tho effect of the medicino became wonderfully upparent. Tbo Blood Restorer hud acted steadily but surely on the. blood ; the deadly impurities were gradually < liminated from tho system until the stream of lie flowed unchecked in its natural channels over tho entire man. The brain be came clear and active, and the limbs onco again rejoiced in natural circulation, the patient rising to his feot cured of diHoases which had bafllcd tho skill of leading phyeiciuns, a living proof of the wonderful healing powers of Hitchens Celebrated Blood Restoror. TESTIMONIALS Auckland, N.Z. To 11. A. H. Hitchens, Esq. Boforo leaving Auckland on my return voyago to tho Islands, I havo to perform the pleasing duty of acknowledging tho Burprißing cure 1 have recoived at your hands. Coming to Auckland as I did a dying man, being palsied and generally unconscious, and hearing from others that no hope of recovery was held out by medical men, I look upon you now us tho preserver of my lifo. I am convinced that to you' medicine alone is duo tho credit for my now boing a living man. I bog to thank you most sincerely for tho kind ness you have shown me whilo staying in your house, and in conclusion would earnestly re commend sick people to mic your Blood I'eßtorcr, as it Is tho most extraordinary purifier of the blood I ever heard of, or mat with in my travels.
