Earthquakes seem to be getting quite common. It was only the other clay t hat wo had to mention that one was felt in Wellington during the time of the Superintendent’s delivering his opening address to the provincial Council of that Province ; and now we learn Irom the letter of onr own correspondent at Sydney, that a shock has lately been felt in New South Wales, sufficient to break glass and crockery. In Wellington no alarm was felt, indeed, the proceedings of the Council were not interrupted, and the Superintendent finished his speech as if nothing had happened; but the good people in New' South Wales being less used to this sort of thing, would appear to have been effectually frightened. Crinoline in Rhyme.—A lady with a crinoline was walking down the street —her feathers fluttered in the air her hoops stuck out some feet, —She walked the earth as if she felt of it she was no part, and proudly did she step along foi pride was in her heart. She did not see a curly dog W'hicb walk’d close by her side, all save the cruly tail of which her crinoline did hide. His tail the dog with pleasure shook —it fluttered in the wind, and from the lady’s crinoline stuck out a foot behind. A crowd the tail did soon espy as it waved to and fro, and like a rudder seem to point the way the maid must go. The curly dog, right pleased was he, the quarters he had got, and walked beside the lady in a kind of doggish trot. Each step the lady now did take served to increase her train while those who followed in her wake roared out with might and main, some held their sides they laughed so hard, and other fairlycried, while many now confess that they had liked to died. But still the lady sailed along in crinoline and pride, unmindful of the crowd behind or dog close by her side. But soon another dog espied the tail which fluttered free, it so provoked his doggish ire he could not let it be. But with a deep foroeious growl, for battle straight he went, and ’neath the lady’s crinoline both dogs were quickly pent. They fought ‘tis said one hour or more—the lady nothing knew—but with her head erect sailed on, and did her way pursue. Some say she never would have known at all about the fight had not one dog mistook and gave her limb an awful bite. But since that day I’ve heard it said that lady ne’er was seen, upon the street with so much pride and such a crinoline. Holloway’s Pills.—Youthful InfirmitiesFrom causes scarcely perceptible at first, the young become prematurely enervated, and debilitated. They lose alike their looks, enercrv, and confidence. The general cause of this melancholy state is a disordered stomach, which Holloway’s Pills will regulate. By improving digestion, and purifying the blood, they work wonders. They act so kindly, yet so certainly, upon every organ necessary for healthy digestion, that the nervous system soon recovers, and the wonted good spirits speedily return, with strength, vivacity, and vigour. The most delicate may safely take f Holloway’s Pills. They cause no violent effects upon the system, but gradually accomplish their end without much restriction in diet or pleasure. The composition of these Pills secures them from doing mischief. —(.Adrf.J
