" For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wTong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.*'

We have jusfc seen a lithographic picture of the late lamented Bishop Patteson, which, for accuracy: of likeness, could not be surpassed. The picture, which is drawn by Mr. 0. Palmer, and lithographed at the Herald office, is an excellent one as a work of art, both the drawing and the printing reflecting great credit on those engaged on it. There could be no more interesting memento of one whose sad death lias touched a chord of sympathy in every heart in Auckland, and we have no doubt that Mr. Palmer's picture, which is to be had from all fche booksellers, will find a place in every home.

In another column will be seen a notice respecting Mr. Goldie's Bosebank Nursery, at North; Shore. This favourite retreat is pleasantly associated in people's minds with ripe strawberries and delicious cream ; but Mr. G-oldie has largely extended his plantations, and we venture to say that he is now in a position to satisfy the love of this luscious fruit, no matter how many come. His arbours have also been re-arrangeed, and for any person or party of people out for a day among the bracing sea breezes and picturesque volcanic hills of the North Shore, we can recommend nothing more charmingly refreshing than to betake themselves to Mr. Goldie's arbours, there to repose and feast on the most delightful of luxuries,'strawberries and cream.

We learn that out of respect to the memory of the late Rev. Mr. Hey wood, the two English Masonic Lodges—the Waitemata, of which he was Chaplain, and the Prince of Wales —have gone into mourning for six months. We are also informed tha*. a movement has been originated in which all the lodges of the city unite, for presentiug to the late chaplain's widow a valuable testimonial of the affectionate and respectful esteem in which Mr. Heywpod was held by the brethren.

The Her. J". J. Lewis is announced to deliver a lecture this evening, in the Pittstreet Wesleyan Chapel, at half-past seven o'clock; subject, " The Present A ge." From the lecturer's abilities, we may expect a treat. Some choice pieces of music are set down to be rendered by the choir, which will, no doubt, greatly enliven the proceedings. The proceeds are for the benefit of the choir.

The one thing which prevented the North Shore from taking, its stand as the most eligible residence' for weary workers in this wilderness has; hitherto been the want of nocturnalcommuhication. This defect, however, is about to be remedied, and that beautiful spot will hereafter be as easily accessible as any other within hail of the city. The steamer Devonport has been purchased by the Messrs. Holmes, and we understand that it is their intention to keep her on the ferry every night up to eleven o'clock. Accommodation of this kind has been much wanted, and the lack of means to reach home at a reasonable hour of the night has done much' to retard the development of' the beauties of a place which ought to be the holiday resort of our hard-worked citizens. Now, however, the casb will be altered, and, thanks to the new arrangement, people will be enabled after their day's work to submit themselves to a good salt breeze on the outlying beach of Devonport, and still return to their afflicted families in respectable time.

An entertainment was given last evening in the Lunatic Hospital, at the Whau, by a number of the residents in the locality who kave; banded themselves together to aid by music the curative influences brought to bear upon* the diseased brains of the unfortunate people sent thither. The affair was a great success, and the convalescents, some of whom assisted in the entertainment* were highly delighted. These entertainments have been established as a non-restraint system, and have (been proved to be eminertfly successful as adjunct* to the,curative tieatment of the anforfaaates. ■ ■•■•■ ■• '■

The high reputation Olsons tomato sauce has obtained as a household condiment, has brought many inferior articles into the market The public are therefore warned not to be imposed upon with rubbish, but ask for Olson's genuine tomato sauce, and see that his name is on the bottle. "To Mr. Hanß Olson.—• Dear Sir,—By some mistake a bottle of your tomato sauce was put away in my house, and remained uncorked for upwards of twelve months. The same bottle of sauce was afterwards used at my own table, and I found it was equally as good as when first made. —T. W. Doonin, wholesale and retail grocer, 218, Queen-street, Auckland."—[Advt.]

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Forester's Arms, in Albert-street, in regard to fche death of Samuel .Berrige, who had been found dead in his bed at a lodging house in the vicinity. A jury of twelve was duly impannelled, and Mr. Thos. Masefield selected as foreman : —Mary Burr deposed that she kept the boarding house in Albert-street in which deceased was staying at the time of his death. On the 21st, at in id-day, he came to hor house, and made arrangements to remain there ns a lodger. Deceased appeared to be in very poor circumstances. About nine or ten on the same evening he returned with a companion, and said he had been taken very ill with spasms in the stomuch. Me asked to be assisted up stairs to bed. He appeared to be perfectly sober, and said ho had had some brandy and cayenne pepper. He went to bed partially undressed, and coinpluiaed f , very cold.
