iAdveriiaemeht,] OUR SCHOOLS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —Ido trust your readers are not weary of seeing my name in your columns. This is dull, stale, and unprofitable work, writing ; all by oneself, a kind of one-sided sort of arrangement. Any amount of jolly parsons and J.P.’s knocking about. Will none of them have a “ wire in,” and give the J.P. a wiping down. 41 A kingdom for a horse!” No, that is not it,— 41 A kingdom for an enemy!” Editor New Zealander , just about this time: tenahoe were were taiki_ tu. . Bishops, archdeacons, priests, deacons, good pastors all, statesmen, electors, parents of New Zealand all,/attention : You find some difficulty in arranging. among yourselves what religious- instruction shall be given in your public schools. Allow a J.P. to assist you. Attention :—; INTRODUCTION, We know the immeasurable influence that hymns or songs learned in childhood have upon the whole life. They come bach in seasons of sorrow and of trial, like the echoes of holy, happy sounds heard in the bright morning of life : they bring in after years sweet and sacred memories, to piirify ourthoughts and cheer our hearts. With a de«p conviction of this, I hope I have admitted into these pages no song or poem which will not help to teach the little ones some sacred lesson ; to give them some holy, happy thoughts; to kindle in their tender.hearts the pure flame of lovs for tilings that are good and true ; to make them love Go-1, and all things that the good God has made. I hope that around these pages will be often gathered in many homes a crowd of bright, happy little faces, spoiling out the language of verse which children always love. I trust that many little voices which join in singing these hymns on earth will hereafter unite in the endless service ©f praise in heaven. , v, The' Editor. . THE CHILDREN’S INVOCATION.

I think, when I read that sweet story of old, 1 , “When Jesus was here among men. How He called little children, as lambs to his fold, I should like to*have been with' them then. | I wish that His hands .had, been placed on-my head, That His arms had been.thrown around me, ! And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, '' •• j Let-thblittle onea come unto me.” .. ' j Yet stlll' to His footstool in prayer I may go, I And ask for a share in His love ; , And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, - I shall see Him and hear Him above, : In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven ; And many dear children are gathering there, “ For of such is the kingdom of heaven.” But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home ; I should like them to know there is room for them all, . And that Jesus has bid them to. come, ? I long for that blessed and glorious time, i The fairest, arid brightest, and best,' When the dear little children of every clime Shall crowd to His arms and bo blest.

Travel where we may throughout the Australian colonies, we find the favorite and most generally used beverage to be tea. , In the city it obtains a place on every table at least once a day, whilst in the bush the kettle is always boiling, and tea ever ready to quench the thirst Induced by -the broiling sun. Surely itds of importance therefore to every colonist that an article in such universal consumption should be of reliable quality. In'the Oriental Tea Company's Packet Tea you get the very thing required. Try them and you willflnd them superior to all others.-—[Ad vt.] \ Valujlble Discovery fob the Hair. —lf>yonr hair is turning grey or white, or falling off, use “The Mexican Hair.
