A hasty spirit brought bitter woe upon a Montreal widow tiie other clay. Her intended husband offered her his hand as they were about to take their places for the marriage ceremony, saying, " May I lead you ]" A sharp glitter came into the "woman's eyes as she answered, " Yes, for the last time." "Good-bye," said the man, as lie walked out of the front door. The late Lord Dudley was a shrewd wave- A Vienna lady ouce impudently said to him, What wretchedly bad English you all speak in London !" and he answered promptly, c: It is true, madam — we have not- enjoyed the advantages of having the French twice in our capital."

oi?it New Zealand !>. dc.stj:ie.s.—Messrs. HalTensteiu Bios., manufacturers and wholesale warehousemen, of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of s.diie of tlie large manufacturers at Home, and more especially with a view of preventing the importation of English clothing, arc opening extensive retail establishments in the large centres of population. For this purpose they have lately fitted up commodious premises in Messrs. fthrimski and Moss' biuldiiiTS. Thames-street, where the sale of their manufactures v.iil he thrown open direct to the public of Oamaru. Tins b-anch. which will be opened on Saturday, April 7, will be under the immediate management o? Mr. li. G. Lindsay, aiul under the personal supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand iirm. Messrs. Hallenstein Bros., under the management of Air. Anderson.. staited the New Zealand Clothing Factory about three years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale, but at present they employ between 300 aud 400 people. They had to overcome many diiacnliies, ami much prejudice, and cspeeially the persistent opposition on the paii- of the Javger houses, glutting this market with imported goods, and no doubt the retailers found it to their advantage to push ikese i:i preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zea'and Clothing Factory have therefore judiciously decided to introduce their inaiiu.'aciures direct to the large covsumuig population of New Zealand, aiul in oulcr to do so elVcetiially, they have deioiYniiied to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling pr'ce is to be marked in plain figures on every article, from which no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly oil the cadi principle, and all goods muse be paid for on delivery, but any article not found suitable may be exehauged, or the money i-etnrned. As will be seen from the garments exhibited, the public will now be able to choose from the largest. stock of men's, youths', and boys' clothing, superior in style and quality, ami at a proportionately Ijwer pr.'ec to anything that can be imported. But, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to support an industry which employs New Zealand labor, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to everyone in the community.—[Advt.]
