We have hoped against hope, and now are ready and waiting for death. Anything is better than this agony. We cannot endure it more than a few hours longer. Yesterday we saw a veisel and thought we were safe, but it passed on without seeing us. To-day we have abandoned hope. Such a death, away from friends and in luoh agony, is terrible. To look into the oannon'a mouth requires bravery, but to face death coming slowly, but surely, needs only despair. There is no hope." The only difference between the experience of these men and thousands of others on land to-day is that the shipwreoksd men realised their fate, while the others do not. They ar<; in jurt as certain danger, but are wholly unooneoious of it. They are aware that there beads pain them frequently j that their appetite is fickle; that they are losing fleih, or possibly bloating; that their skin is often hot or feverish, alternating with distressing chilli? that at times breathing is difficult; that the ambition is gone and despondency frequently occurs. People notice these things, but think they are oaused by some cold or indigestion, and hence give them no further thought. Any one of the above symptoms'jfeouwing at intervals indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys, which is certain to. result in Bright's diseßse if permitted to go on unchecked. What the terrors of this terrible disease are can never be described, but it has carried off some of the fiue*fc men and most noble women Australia has overproduced. "About one-third of the victims," sajs Dr Boberts, the highest authority on the subject, "through neglect t-j take disease promptly in hand on its first appearanoe, dio of uremic poisoning (in convulsion or by diarrheal). Many die from watery suffocation, from gangrenous erisipelas in the logs, thighs and getiitals, pneumonia, heart disease, apolexy, intestinal ulcerations, paralysis, &o , all of which troubles are the result of Bright's disease." Another high authority says : "Diabetes and Bright's disease of the kidneys alwayß t' rminate in death if discovered too lute, but yield readily to treatment if taken in time Thousands of people who pass thick yellow matter with briok dust sediment and com plain of a slight backache, headache, dizciness, imperfeot vision, oold back, hands and feet, general debility, etc., etc., are victim* of this deadly disease (unknown to themselves), and when, at last, overcome by its exhausting influence they present themselves to their medical Attendant, he, nine times out of ten, will write out a prescription for malarial poison, or, discovering their terrible condition, inform them that they have come TOO IATB," To permit the kidneys to rot away, or to suffer limeitone deposits to accumulate in the bladder, is criminal carelessness, especially when it can be entirely avoided by care and the use of the proper meads. For this purpore, however, there, is but one known remedy—and that is Warner's Safe Oure. It is true, there are many preparations that claim to oure or relieve tbe»e troubles, but no remedy has ever been found that absolutely does this except the one above mentioned. It is aotually the only proprietary medicine which bus received the unqualified endorsement of the medical profession. The above facts all show that it is an absolute duty you owe yourself and your friends to not only carefully observe and refleot upon these things, but to attend to them in time.
The North Harbor mystery (SydDey), concerning the death of a cfirl named E. Martin, under very suspicious circumstances, is still under inyastigation, but na yet very little has been learned. Povebty and Sukpebiko.—l wm dragged down with debt, poverty, and suffering', for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for dootoring, which did them no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advioe of ny pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us has seen a sick day since; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep yonr families well a year with American 00-'s Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will coit. I know it."—A Wobkiitg Maw. Bead Advb. Sonie anxiety is felt at Wellington for the safety of the American barque Cliasca, which left New York for Wellington on the 30th January last, thus being 145 daye out. A vessel flying the American flag ran up to the Heads about a month ago, but was blown off and has not been siuce heard of. She is believed to have been the Chasca. The barque Mary E. Russell, which left New York a after the Ghasca, arrived a month ago, HoLLOWAY'S OnreMMl AND PILLB.—ThOf • who have given, these remedies a fair dial freely admit that thoy in her. ontly possess every property suitable for healing and removing eruptions, ulcerations, piles, .absceissi, »oras, bad legs, gathered breasts, and ail disorders of the glandular syetein.

Holloway's excellent praperations are effective singly, resistless in combination, and have been recommended by grateful patients to be resorted to C 3 alteratives when all other means of regaining health have failed. Their action is temperate, not violent or reducing. ,■ ''/
