of initwst to many of your rentiers We here ali know wdl enough what is retarding the proures? of our &>oldu'eM, but it is evident Irom enclosed lettei thu&e down south know too. We c«n only hope the day is not far distant when monopoly will be overcome, and capitalists become more willing to develope the resources of our goldfield. No doubt ot'cer crushing power will be erected ere long, and by ami bye the \>i^ciit crush.'ng ciiu'^Oi ha filling oi. the past, and tiien, perhips^ instead of all the prorits being appropriated in any one diseelion, they will be more f.iiily apportioned. It would be well, too, for !soim» to bear in mind there is such a tiling as killing the i.'oos<> that lays the golden eggs. I trust at the forthcoming election of a niembor to represent this riding in the Piako Comity Council, tiat the best man will be returned, ami that he. will be pledged not to s motion the leasing of the tramway beyond one year at a time, if at all. To many here it, is only too evident why certain important people have now so suddenly interested themselves in the proposed borough, excluding Te Aroha. They well know the probauilities are all against bueh <i borough ever being constituted by Government ; !ut by p-tiiioning for same much valuable time may be gained during which the leasing of the tramway may by some means or other be effected for a term of years (perhaps the Battery Company would not objVco to lease same at the price it would probably realise justatpres.'ntwhen things are depressed). That little matter once fixe 1 up for :i number of years, doing away, as it necessarily would, Tor that period of any prospect of reduced tramway charges (for the !e.?Sv'e would natunih charge as much as possible), I doubt very much ir it would trouble sonift people -whether we had local self-»overnmeut or not. I certainly am surprised so many wno are expecting to gaiu a livelihood in the district foi years to come, are so eisily blinded to what is going on.— Yours, i&c, A Shareholder. "Waiorongomai, Nov. 3rd, 18d4. The following is ti.e letter referred to : " Te Ahoha : i\iis field is proving to be what, it was prophesied it would turn ou t — a payable general dirt field. The total returns for the month ending September 20th were 870 ounces from S2Q trucks quartz, the principal yields being — New Find, 409 trucks, 4b'7oz. gold ; Colonist, 257 trucks, 221 ounces ; and Canadian, 99 trucks, 49^ ounces. The field has, however, many drawbacks, chief Rinong those being heavy battery charges, and want of crushing power. Messrs Firth and Clarks 40-stamper mill is kept fully employed, but 1 daresay my Southern readeis will hardly credit the fact that for treating the 409 trucks of quartz crushed by the New Find, the so-called philanihiopist battery-owners pocketed over £600, which is quite double what would be charged on the Thamo.4, and the Te Aroha mill ownei> could «:rush even cheaper than we could. as they get their motive power, both for battery and tailings plant, free of cost. It is tne conduct of uu J n like these— who have the princip d mines bound by an agreement to crus.i with them, and who perforce bo.ist that they have assisted the field—which is really letarding the district, an I -.ntil the shareholders either show pluck enough to erect mills of their own near their mines, or other capital is introductd into the field, the district cannot be expected to go ahead as quickly as should be the case."

SPEAK GENTLY.

Speak gently — it is better far to rule by love than fe;ir. Speak gently — let no harsh words mar the good we may do here. Speak gently — love doth whisper low tinvows that true hearts hind ; And gently friendship's accents flow-affec-tion's voice i.s kind. Speak gently to the little child ; younglove he sure to gain ; Teach it in accents .soft and low : it may not long remain. Speak gently to th* ymni:, for they'll have enough to hear ; Pas* through tlii** life us best we may, 'tis full of anxious care. Speak gently to the aged— grieve not the care-worn heart, The winds of life "re swiftly run, let ago in pence depart. Speak gently, kindly to the poor ; let no harsh tones beheaid ; They have enough they must endure, without the unkind word. Speak gently to the erring — know how frail are all, how vain. Perchance unkindtiess made them so. Try! win thorn back again. Speak gently — He who gave his life to bend man* stubborn will. When elements were tierce with strife, said to them, " Peace, be still !', Speak gently— 'tis a Mite thing dropt in the heart's deep well ; The good, the joy, which it may bring eternity shall tell.
