Sir Arthur H. Gordon.
Tlio special correspondent of the Tarauaki Herald who is doing Colombo has the following:-- Our old friend Sir ArthurH, Gordon is here as Governor. "The potato is cooked," or ought to be, very much more to his lilting in Ceylon, than when he tried to get Te Wliiti in hand in New Zealand, The gorgeous uniform, with which Sir Arthur dazzled Wellington people on his first appearance in opening a New Zealand Parliament, may not have been made altogether in vain, for thdtieh the show failed to secure Jse adoration of New Zealanders, I think the clothes must have been a success in Colombo, with such a starchy bo w • down • and ■ worship • me £ customer as the representative of great clan Gordon inside them, and ■ with such color and show loving people to view them as the Ceylonians, Nevertheless, I can never get over foq
impression first formed of him after reading a speech made by him at the laying of a church foundation stone 'fWaikato. He ought to have been a'arson, Pray, yes, let all good men pray that he might yet have his eyes opened to see that pulpit preaching in his true vocation, Well! about thoso clothes. I feel sure they would take hero,. Ho could readily get from one, muly, a lm;nlro;l, to a thousand man bowing and scraping crowd together in quick time. The deferential meek and mildness, which Sir Arthur failed to secure in New Zealand, is habitual to the people here. Hit thorn a clip on one side they do not openly rosent, but still look pleased, and would take another without show of anger. Sir Arthur ought not now to be fretful. He should
be happy. Ho was out of town; gone up country while I was there, The elephant kraal was got up in his honor and would doubtless bo enjoyed by his party—that is the hunting; while the 500 bumble beaters should be satisfaction enough even for the Governor of Ceylon.
Exterior of Homes. S . ~ • As almost invariably we can form a correct opinion of the character'by the outward appearance of individuals—by their expression, voice and dressso we judge of the inmates of the house by the exterior appearance of their dwelling and its surroundings. Wealth may add all the adornments that money can furnish, and yet to a close observer it maybe lacking in the essentials of a true and happy home. 'There is beauty in an iceberg, glistening and resplendent, reflecting in many colours the rays of sunshine, yet cold and barren, too frigid for the Arctic birds which pass it by in silence and yet the cottage of the poor may rfidiate a feeling of warmth and hospitality though its environment be simple in the extreme, The garden blooming with roses and twining honeysucles, speaks more of" Home, Sweet Home" than an iron gate guarded by- marble statuary, which speaks plainer than human voice of th&jcold reception the unbending laws oilfeety dictate tc the one who may dare to venture through the guarded gateway. Of course there are many exceptions to the rule, yet how few in comparison to the home adorned by nature and arranged by the skilful touch of loving hands, telling all that may cross the threshold of homes secret hearthstone beyond the latticed window. How inviting might be made
the door-yards and immediate surroundings of every Lome in our midst where nature lias lavished so much on our behalf, if we but exerted an hour of each day in the planting and trainA ing of flowers and ornamental trees. ** Nothing can be more inviting or attractive to visitors than the neat appearance of town and country homes. In addition to the attractions consequent upon home improvement, a financial value is added to the property. Judgments of the thrift and productive capabilities of a farm are often based showing around the home. Iu the business cares of life we arc apt to forget the little things that make life happy and contented, the only spot dear to every heart, the home, In beautifying that we can never exert ourselves too much, and the hours spent in home adornments will but add so mach to our life of wealth, health, and contentment. — Lytteltou Times.
WE SHOULD BLOT 0 UT DISEASES IN ITS EARLY STAGES. The disease commences with a slight derangement of tho stomach, but, if neglected, it in time involves the whole frame, embracing the kidneys, liver, Jtmcreas, and in fact the entire glandular 'stem ; and tho afflicted drags out a miserable existence until death gives relief from' suffering, The disease is often mistaken for other complaints; but if the reader will ask himself the follow: ing questions he will be able to determine whether he himself is one of the aftlicted—Have I distress, pain or difficulty in breathing after eating ! Is there a dull hea® feeling, attended by drowsiness ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge ? Does a thick, sticky, mucous gather about the mouth and teeth in tho mornings, accompanied by a disagreeable taste ? Is the tongue coated 1 Js there pain in the sides and back. Is there a fullness about the right sides as if the liver were enlarging 'I Is there costiveness ? Is there vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from an horizontal position ? Are tho secretions from the kidneys highly coloured, with a deposit after standing 1 Does food ferment soon alter eating, accompanied by flatulence or belching of gas from the stomach ? Is there frequent palpitation of the heart. These various symptoms may not be present at one time, but tliey torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses. If tho case bo. ono of long standing, thero will be a dry, hacking cough, attended after a time by expectation, In very advanced age the skin assumes a dirty; brownish appearance, and the jSK'nd and feet arc covered by a cold, flbticky perspiration. As the liver and kidneys become more and more deceased the more pains appear, and the usual beutiiifcnt proves entirely unavailing againsi the latter agonising disorder. The origin of this malady is indigestion or dyspepsia, and a small quantity of tho proper medicine will remove the disease if taken in it incipiency. It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its lirst stages, when a littlo medicine will affect a cure, and even when it has obtained a strong hold the correct remedy should bo persevered in until every vestige of the disease is eradicated, until theappefcito has returned, and the digestive organs restored to a healthy condition this surest and most effectual remedy for The distressing complaint is "Seigcl's Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by tho proprietors, A. J. White, Limited, London, E.O. This Syrup strikes ao tho very foundation of the disease, and drives it root and branch out of the system. Ask 3'our Chemist for Soigel's Curative Syrup.,. Mills, Cambridge Heath. * ' London, E.C., July 24,1882 " SitI,—lt 1 ,—lt gives me great pleasure to be able to add my testimony in favor of your valuable Syrup as a curative agent, jjiad suffered for some length of time a severe form of indigestion, and tub long strain of distressing symptoms following that disease. I had tried all the best medical advice. I had swallowed sufficient of their stuff to float a man of war, so to speak, but of no avail. A (rW of mine, gomiiijj on the scene in
the midst of my sufferings, brought with him a bottle of your Seigol Syrup ; lio advised me to try it, stating ho felt confident that it would benefit mo Being weary of trying so many drugs, I condemned it before trial, thinking it could not possibly do mc any good, but ultimately determined.to take the Syrup. After doing so for a short time it worked such a change in me that 1 continued taking at for nearly two months, and I then \vs thoroughly cured, for I have discontinued its use for live weeks, and feel in the best of health, and can part&ko of any food with caso and comfort. lam therefore thankful to you that through the instrumentality of your valuable medicine, I am restored to the state of health J now enjoy, Yours truly, W. 8.
