"A LIFE FOR A LIFE." By the Author of "John Halifax
Gentleman." 3 vols. " The author of this novel possesses
the signal merit of being a progressive writer. John Han
fax' was a decided improvement upon its predecessors ; and
here, in A Life for a Life,' we have again a marked•advanes
upon 'John Halifax' The book is signally the best its
author has yet produced. The interest is in many parts J/I-
-tense, and is everywhere admirably sustained. Incident
abounds, and both dialogue and style are natural and flowing-
Great delicacy in the development of character, and a subtle
power of self-analysis are conspicuous in A Life for a Life,'
while the purity of its religious views, and the elevation; the
grandeur, indeed, of its dominating sentiments, retidek its in-
fluences, in every sense, healthy and invigorating.'HT4

THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.—The Hobart
Town Mercury draws attention to the bark of the tea-tree
which abounds In the forests of Tasmania, as admirably
adipted for the manufacture of paper. Nature itself manu-
factures paper from it of her' wn accord. During the sum-
mer months, when the trees shed their leaves and bark,
these accumulate in the gullies and dry creeks. So soon as
they are brought into contact with the water they form of
themselves a thick pulp, which spreads itself over the na-
even surface of the water courses, and which, after it has
been deserted by the water, remains spread out into a huge
sheet of stiff brown paper.

COCOA.—This esteemed preparation is sold by the prin-
cipal grocers at Is. 6d. pef lb., in 11b., ilb., and fib.

pathic chemist, London."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Far below the eruptions, boils, sores, and other excrescences
that disfigure the surface of the body, lea the acrid and
corrosive poison which sustains and aggravates them. This
virus, which usually lurks in the large vessels springing
from the great internal organs, can only be followed to its
hidden recesses by a preparation like Holloway's Ointment,
whoso penetrating properties are irresistible. Having
reached the poison its chemical action immediately destroys
or neutralises it. It acts with equal speed and safety, and
its cures are radical. The pills, from their purifying effect
upon the blood, are a material help on such occasions. They
exert the same purifying power over the blood generally, as
the ointment does locally.

nary cures without medicine effected by Du Barry's deli-
