Well-dressed Men— Among those habitual errors of conduct which arc common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed r yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of ns instinctively judge from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal disposition cannot safely be offended. To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, though unconsciously, offend numerous persons. among whom the favour of some may be valuable; and therefore a shrewd man i? not content to make himself neat now aikjpiien, but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor. In bringing this maxim before public notice, II.A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition 1 of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed has been met by the combination in his goods of selection, material good fit. and low price. He obtains his'clofhs in the most advantageous markets; he employs first-class cutters and workmen; he avoids obsolete fashions; and he is content with moderate profits in the place of the exorbitant percentage which only a few years algo was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs,-are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience, capital, care, and good taste can effect on the.'tradesman’s .side, is done by.R. A. Adams, in order that all his customers may realise the substantial advantages of being well-dressed; ; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number of those who deal with him.' Attentive to the changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by thedictatee of fashion, E. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons. —R. A. ADAMSCardigan House, Carlyle.— ADVT. Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —Fear Not.—Though surrounded by circumstances disadvantageous to health, these remedies, properly applied, will cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, dyphtheria., an I a host of other complaints always lurking about to seize on the weak, forlorn, or unwary. The superiority of Holloway’s Medicines over others for subduing disease hasibten so widely and fully proved that it is only necessary to ask the afflicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions folded round them be followed, no . disappointment will ever ensue, nor dangerous consequences result. In hoarseness and ulcerated sore throat the Ointment should frequently he rubbed on the neck and upper part of the chest; it will arrest the increasing inflammation, allay'disquietude, and gradually cure.
