An amusing'story is going the rounds inf Waikato. It is to the effect that a power-fully-built settler, whoso exchequer had run low, found, on returning home, two bum bailiffs on the verandah. One placed his hand in his pocket. The settler argues that he fancied they were robbers going to draw a revolver, and he at once charged them, and being a man of muscle, soon put both bums hors de combat. He then securely tied their legs together, acquainted the police that his bouse and self had been attacked by robbers, and rode off to file his schedule. The story has caused much amusement.

Better have said nothing.—Some vile traducer says that a month before marriage and a month after death men regard their wifes as angels. Of the remaining timer he has nothing to say.

An Orator, who was much in demand in political campaigns, being asked by an admirer the secret of his success, replied,- “ When I have facts I give ’em facts, butwhen I haven’t I yell and saw the air.” Lunar Beaux. —Says an astronomer to a bright-eyed girl, when talking of rainbows, “ Did you ever see a lunar bow, miss?” “ I'have seen beaux by moonlight, if that’s what you mean,” was the sly rejoinder. Holloway's Pills. —Worthy of especial note.—These purifying Pills excel every other medicine for regulating the digestion, acting healthily on the liver and bowels, invigorating the nervous system, and strengthening the body. They cause neither pain nor other inconvenience. At all seasons the system is liable to sudden! checks. In such cases these Pills restore the balance of the circulation, and ward off dangerous attacks of diarrluea, dysentry, or cholera. They are the best correctives of the stomach, when disordered by repletion or by the presence of indigestible food. They speedily rectify the flatulent weight, and general uneasiness which are experienced in the bowels prior to the accession of more serious symptoms, which debilitate, if they do not endanger.' Well-dressed Men— Among those habitual errors of conduct which are 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, 11. 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 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 trades* man’s side, is done by R. A. Adams, in order fiat 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 sitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictates of fashion, R. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—R, A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle. l — ADVT.
