RETROSPECT.

TnE teeming fields, the rocking harvest cart. Th' autumnal breezes wake not that wild zest As when, with high-pitched voice and childish heart. X played with Jessie here at Prenderguest.

My voice has now a deeper tone, my soul Does not vibrate in its once gladsome way, Nor by my side does gentle Jessie stroll. And sport with me as in the olden day.

Jessie was taken early, deemed a flower So slight, so fair, but of so rare a strain;. That the Great Maker, in his watchful power. Called her to deck his heavenly, bright domain.

And now where onoo they raced my spirits pass. With more demure but not unjoyous sense, And still find pleasure in a little lass. Where Jessie erst shared feelings more in tense.

FOr here Is Jessie's sister, Minnie hight. Of kindred nature, but of sprightlier mien. Who, darting round like some lithe water sprite. Creeps in the heart where Jessie once has been.

And in her brother Willie, shortly born _ Kr? Jessie's transplantation—free of heart. Disliking study, sportive as a fawn, I recognise my boyish counterpart.

'lis through the young we're warned how far we ye fared, o.'R 1?7 i ma-rk the Btaßes we shall ne'er repeat; . ? "J6ll youth we feel our age repaired, And thread life's play-grounds with gay Fancy's feet.

So fool I now. their sports my mind decoy To those old days of childish, trustful rest, Which Nature says I shall no more enjoy, But m this fitful dream at Prenderguest.

FOR THE LADIES.

2Ps_t_° ? coxlPte ot years past fashion in Madrid has vigorously demanded that gentlemen should not wear gloves at balls and theatres. This year, by way of change, the shapely arms and hands of the senoras and senoritas are required to be bared upon all public occasions. ' He was very lazy," said old Mrs Jones. I must say my first husband was a very •^o_ m» an_" "How"lazywasher I asked. Well, he was so lazy—Mr Jones wo 3so lazy that he wouldn't shovel a path to the front gate." "How did he get the path broken out?" lasted. "Ob, he used to lay ou the lounge and pinch the baby's ears with the nippers until the neighbour came rushing iv to see what was the matter, and thus tread down the snow." A very charming toilette for receptions, owner, or theatre, may be made, we are told in a ladies' newspaper, as follows :—Bither in three shades of crashed strawberry,'or old gold and brown. The skirt is of the medium shade, trimmed with narrow fnll ings. The tablier, which is long, is of the darkest shade, only four kiltings showing below it; it Is cut turret-shaped at the bottom, and is ornamented with rosette shaped bows (four loops) at each division, the kutmga on skirt showing between Across the front, drawn op, rolled and purled, and taken back to form the train which is also drawn up loose in puffs, is the upper tunic in the lightest shade, the nar row kiltings, of the same shade as skirt, and the rosette bows. The body of the medium shade fastens slightly at the side with bows, it is trimmed with lace turned back and forms waistcoat points. The sleeves are full to the elbow, fastened with a band and bow of ribbon, and trimmed with lace; the body is cut round, and can be worn with or without a full chemisette. The chemi sette has a ruff of lace round the throat, and a band of ribboD like the sleeves, This dress can be made in many materials cashmere, and silk or two sateens, in that case, the tablier and bodice would be self coloured, and the rest flowered sateen. The kiltings could be made of lace, it wanted for dress purposes. Where the train isjnot required, the usual puffed or loose hung back can replace it. Short dresses are still worn.

._VeJ y L Pr,ceful, ai'tingie", and useful, is the habit tonic, which can be made in ottoman silk or satin, or cashmere ; if made of the former, the skirt should be of nun's veiling, with frilled flounces; if of cashmere, the skirt should be velvet. Ihe body is of the babit form, with frilled panier in front, which passes under, and sets out the long habit tails, which are; nearly to the end of skirt; braided passementerie and chenille fringe are used for trimming. A pretty and useful costume is made of small checked -woollen and velvet. The skirt has a deep kilted flounce ; the polo naise, which is frilled or pleated across the front, falls full in three points—one at the back, and one each side ; cuffs, pockets, and short cape, are made of velvet- the pockets are placed oa each side at the end of basque.

Thus Me_ zo . fanti, in boyhood, was subjest to chronic ophthalmia, and hiaears wero perforated

to wear rings therein. E»en gentlemen not unfrequently have their ears punctured to insert neat, ptain sold rings when the eyes are sore, not for vanity, but to cure them. On the Contineut babies' ears are perforated when the eyes are tender. Gold is healing for ophthalmia when wear ing ear-lobes.

At a fashionable wedding last April, "Figaro " says that we are told that the bridal toilette was most exquisite, and of great originality. The petticoat of white satin was completely veiled with magnifi cent flounces of point d'Angleterre, made expressly for this occasion; the train, which was very long, was arranged in white broche velvet satin ; the corsage was of broche, charmingly trimmed with lace, and bouquets of orange blossoms adorned the shoulder and side of train ; a veil of lace and wreath of orange blossoms were worn, as well as a star and pendant of diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom ; the whole completing a toilette of rare perfec tion. The bride smaids' gowns were ex tremely pretty, and greatly admired, the skirts being composed of coffrej lace caught on one side with clusters of daffodils and ribbon; paniers of ceme surah, and bodices of tbe same were trimmed to correspond. Each wore a gold bar brooch, with coral and pearl lings. These, as well as the basket of flowers, were presented by the Bridegroom. The hats were of cream plush, lined with a golden shade of brown velvet, and trimmed with lace and flowers. Shortly after four o'clock the newly-married pair started en route for Paris, the bride wearing a charm ing gownof bronze velvet and cashmere, with petticoat of bronze velvet applique; hat of bronze velvet with pale blue and bronze feathers. In the afternoon there was a reception. The bride's mother wore a lovely gown of grey brocade, petticoat of satin in two shades, the whole being com pleted with a handsome garniture of pearls the same shade.

A dress in terra-cotta colour and ruby was the most successful at a wedding the other day. Tho f rout was covered with lace, and the over-dress was of brocaded velvet. The epaulettes were very decided in form, their material being chenille in many shades of red and terra-cotta. The bride's lace was lovely, and her bouquet of gardenias, liliea-of-the-valley, white azaleas, and camellias, made a stumbling-block of the tenth commandment to ua during the whole afternoon. The bridesmaids carriedbunches of primroses set in a frame of leaves, and many of the guests wore similar flowers.

At a very pretty wedding, which also took place in April, but was celebrated in the country, a society paper informs us that the bride was attired in a very handsome figure cream Ottoman silk costume; trimmed with brocaded satin, and" looped with orange blossoms and stephanotis, wearing a wreath of orange blossoms and stephanotis, and a tulle veil, a_d carrying a handsome bouquet. Her handsome train was borce by two children—niece and nephew of the bridegroom. The little lady was attired in a pretty^ costume of cream nun's veiling and satin, a wreath of daisies, and a tuile veil j and the young gentleman was dressed as a sailor, and wore a bunch of p imroses on his breast. The sight was extremely pretty, and all who saw the interesting procession were charmed.

At the porch the bride'was received by her bridesmaids. Theße ladies carried beautiful bouquets,composed of the choicest flowers of the season. Their costumea were of cream nun's veiling, with facings and bands of checked silk, and terra-cotta and yellow " streamers " on the left shoulders; hats of cream straw, ltembrandt style, and ostrich feathers. They also wore silver necklaces, the gift of the bridegroom. Amongst the most novel features of the famous Vanderbilt Fancy Dress Ball was the Star Quadrille, danced by eight couples, each of the ladies being dressed in coloured satin covered with silver gauze embroidered with stars, with a wand tipped with a star in her hand, and an electric star gleaming over her forehead. The effect was very charming, it is said. Lady Mandeville, the future Duchess of Manchester, and in her pre-hymeneal days known as the beau tiful Miss Yzuaga, looked as though she had stepped out of a picture by Vandyke in her black velvet robe and train, with a high cut lace trimmed bodice, puffed sleeves, and a wide-brimmed Vandyke hat with its drooping black feathers. Miss Fish, the fiancee of a younger sou of Sir Stafford worthcote, wore a costume of the time of Queen Mathilda, consisting of a long-trained skirt of red under a bodice of ermine, and a high pointed hat with a veil of soft tulle. We are told that certain young ladies have clubbed their wits together to produce an effective dress novelty in opposition to the divided skirt. The outcome is a tight velvet affair ; it has no legs, it is true, but it is such a close-fitting garment that it gives the idea of a male, when seen at a little distance. The upper part of the costume is absolutely a gentleman's dresscoat and waistcoat. It is certainly very "masherish," though we had hoped thai the mashers would be allowed to die out as a fashion. A prominent society lady, who had ideas of her own, made quite a sensation at her wedding, which was solemnised not long ago. Her dress was composed of a kind of a delicate creamy peach satin, and her veil, of misty tulle ot the same shade, was caught together by a wreath of starry Irish daisies, whose double petals were the faintest blush pink. Her bouquet, instead of being of the customary stephanotis or Majrechal Kiel roses, was composed of a great bunch of dewy Bon Silenes, tied by a broad pink satin ribbon. The effect was decidedly pleasing, the pink flowers showing in beauty against her masses of dark hair.

It will probably interest our lady readers to know that tbe total sum represented by jewels presented to the Princess Isabella of Bavaria, who was married recently, amounted to something like £12,000. One set aloue, given by the King and Queen of Italy, cost £4,000. The bridegroom gave his miniature set in brilliants, and the Duke d'Aosta's offering was a bracelet made entirely of diamonds, of the value of £1,000. In addition to the present which she gave in conjunction with her husband, the Queen ol Italy also sent a scorpion composed of one large pearl and several diamonds. The recently-uarried Infanta de la paz gave a beautiful bonquet mode entirely of brilliants, and tha King of Bavaria contributed a bracelet and brooch of sapphires aud pearls, value £800.

TTITCHENS'S BLOOD RESTORER. FOR CLEANSING, PURIFYING, AMD INVIGORATING THE BLOOD. Seven Years' Test in Auckland. THIS Medicine differs from ordinary pro. prietary preparations, inasmuch as it was the product of years of study and investigation by an eminent physician of the Army Medical Staff; with whom Mr Hltcheas served during the New Zealand War, as Assistant Dispenser to the Im perial Forces. On its introduction to the public as a specific for the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic uout, Scrofula, Skin Diseases, Blood Impurities, and General Debility, it quickly attained great celebrity, and soon was sought after from every part of New Zealand. Its curative and deparative properties have been folly testified by the numerous testimonials received by the proprietor from patients who had long suffered from the above distressing maladies, who had ap plied in vain to physicians for relief, and in whose cases, Turkish Baths, Hot Springs, and other popular remedies had been re sorted to without effect. This celebrated medicine Is compounded from products of the vegetable kingdom. Is palatable and easily taken, mild, but effec tual. In its action upon the animal econ omy. It is, iv sooth, a veritable BLOOD Restorer, cleansing it, and thereby restor ing diminished vitality. It presents, un questionably, a purer, safer, better, and more reliable alterative medicine than any that has hitherto been available to the people.



MURK TESTIMONY 1 Not a SURPRISING CURE To those who know what Jj itchkns' Blood Restorer HAS DONE. Iv the Auckland Evsnins Star of the 27th April last, appeared the following local, which explains itself :— The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Eaipara, put into har bour yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owens, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owens, who has followed the seafaring profession for many years, and had never until leaving Melbourne on Apiil 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature, was suddenly seized on that date with violent pains in the back. Since then he has been swung up in a hammock in the cabin quite helpless. The vessel was off Kaipara at noon on Thursday last, but the weather being thick and foggy, it was deemed advisable to come on to Auck land for medical assistance. The barque arrived early yesterday morning, and Dr Moore having been sent for, visited Capt. Owens, and gave instructions to the mate of the vessel regarding treatment. The invalid is Buffering from a species of rheumatism of a severe nature and the doctor considers it advisable to effect a partial recovery before attempting the re moval of his patient to more suitable quarters on shore. Capt. Owens is well known iv Auckland, and many residents will be sorry to learn of his affliction." Referring to above, Captain Owen has this day (Ist December), stated: "After 'being treated for about five weeks by two medical men successively, with very little alteration in my condition, except that the pain in my hands and back was made somewhat easier through the effect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitchen's Blood Restorer would do, as it was being so talked about far and wide. Without much faith in it, I consented to try it, bat did not notice any good effect until I had taken about the third or fourth bottle, when my appetite decidedly quickened, and I felt that my strength was coming back to me. I then ceased to take the medicine, and allowed nature to take its course, but finding my appetite going, I stimulated it by small doses of the Restorer, using no other medicine, but applying the ointment freely. By degrees my whole system seemed to be invigorated; and now, after a treatment of six months, I am able to re sume charge of my_ vessel, and am only waiting her arrival in port to do so. I can easily walk four miles a day without the slightest inconvenience. . I consider my friend's suggestion saved my life, and that it is a duty that I should publicly testify to the extraordinary power of Hitchens's Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumat ism." W. M. OWEN. The agents will be bappy to shew original manuscripts of the several pub* lished testimonials anent the Remedy,with scores of others not vet published. L. D. .NATHAN & Co.
