A celebrated philosopher used to say. _£. The favors of fortune are like steep x "7ocks —only eagles and creeping things mount to the summit.” An Agricultural Conundrum. —What is the easiest thing for a farmer to plant, and the most difficult for him to raise ? A mortgage. Said an old friend.-—■“ I don’t like the man who is intimate on short acquaintance, because he is always sure to be ‘short’ on intimate acquaintance.” 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; yet whoever lives observantly in such a • County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us 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 is not content to make himself neat now and then, 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, R. A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition 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 cloths 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 t ne exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is free]went in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, tics, 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 the ■dictatee of fashion, R. A. Adams has now on hand a largo and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—R. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle.—adyt, Holloway's Pills. —In the complaints peculiar to females these Pills are unrivalled. Their use by the fair sex has become so universal for the removal of their ailments, that few toilets are without them. Amongst all classes from the domestic servant to the peress, distinguished favor is accorded to these renovating Pills ; their invigorating and purifying properties render them safe and invaluable in all cases ; they may betaken by females of all ages for any disorganisation or irregularity of the system ; they speedily remove the cause, and restore the sufferer to robust health. As a family medicine they are invaluable for subduing the maladies of young and old.
