Unfortunately some of the hardest men in the community are prominent Christians — only " some," however ; and among these are those who strive to keep close to the Saviour. But while they keep close to Him they are very careless, and almost indifferent about that which concerned Him most — viz., humanity. He prepected Himself and helped others — their bodies as well as their soul, remem ber. A very great many of our Christians endeavor to make themselves spiritually true, but they trample on and wound nearly everyone who is at all below them. Some of the harshest men I have ever known— unsympathetic, unfeeling inconsiderate, and bard with their tongues - are very religious and really hanest to a certain extent. They are great " iustice ;" but loving mercy, and # wide interpretation of " Who is my brother P" don't loom large in their creeds.. They forget, thrt they themselves received and require mercy, which is much more than justice. A. correspondent in the Dunedin Star.

We direct attention to Mrs J. C. Morey and Co.'s replace advertisement to-day. A native entered nn Auckland lawyer's office and was jolite>!y asked to sit down, the blaud la vry<-r looking benevJotly over his spectacles and pointidg to a chair. But the Maori evidently had some experience of lawyers' bills, for looking suspiciously at his legal friend, he asked " How much you charge me for silting down?" A hearty laugh was the response, but the Native would run no risks, and continued stauding during the interview. The new Sheep Act couUin3 several important provisions. Among other things the owner of .sheap affected with lice, who allows these sheep to stray on ft highway, is liable to a minimum penalty of £1 for every day they are so driven or nllowed to stray, and if any sheep so affected are offered for sale in a private yard, the owner is liable to the same penalties as if they were sold in a public yard. The annual return of sheep is to be made a month earlier than heretofore. Notice roust be given to all n ighbors, previous to mastering, for almost any purpose, and all sheep must be wool branded after shearing and before leaving the woolshed. The clauses relating to ear-marking do not take effect except on petition of a majority of owners in the district. The Cattle Act comes into force in January next. Under it, notice has to be given before driving any herd of cattle across a run, or a hundred, or a commonage. Diseased cattle found in public or auction yards are to be destroyed, and an inspector may require any owner to destroy any diseased cattle he miiy have. It is enacted that pigs are not to be fed with the carcase of any diseased cattle. A penalty of 10s is provided for, if the carcase of any dead cattle or horse is not burned or buried if within half a mile of a road, and £5 penalty if any dead carcase is thrown into any water.
