Jusr LEE MAN FoR Lee PLAcE.


The wealthy man is often the most bur
dened. Sometimes / wish could find a man
TO take the responsibility and duties Of my
fortune off my hands.-RiiSSeu Sage in a re-
cent fnterUieiU.
If you sought warrior, son of Mars,
Who should come through the glare of the
canuon's flame
With glorious name that should shine like
the'stars
On the azure field of deathless fame;
II you wished me to find him, well, I'd con-
fess
That I felt myself unprepared for the
charge,
My acquaintance with men of this measure,
guess
For obvious reasons, is not very large. i.
II you sought man who could found
State,
And grow an empire out Of his brain,
Who would steer the rudder of stubborn fate
Throueh the whirlpool swash C. -, -ul.-
lain;
ny -sfed me to find and to INTRODUCES
ThTs5hap to the public to make his bow,
would like to oblige, but would have to re-
fuse,
For he's not very numerous just now.
If you wanted man who could write a song
That would echo on through the years sub
lime,
That would cheer mems souls like the reson-
ant gong
That tells to the toiler its dinner time;
If you wished me to find him, why, should
decline
Tohunt 50 elusive a fellow as he,
For in this age of the world. I opine,
He's the stubbornest kind of an absantee.
But you seek a man who'll assume the weight
OF your countless wealth, my good mill
ionaire.
I know him, know him and hasten to stata,
He isready to take all your burden ana
care
DOyOu want him at once2 You will find him
at home
Hen secept, and wOn'ttako a day to de
Just write to the fellow who wrote this
poem
He will tell you a man who is qualified.

New Zealand has bank on wheels.
On certain days of the week clerk from
one OF the Palmerston banks travels up
and down the railway line from Palmers-
ton to Otaki, transacting the ordinary
business of the bank en- route. Laden
with a satchel containing his supply of
cash, and provided with teller's usual
precautions against danger of robbery,
he makes the carriage his headquarters,
and there receives visits from customers
at the way stations, changing checks or
taking deposits as occasion may require.

The new Queen of Hawaii is blessed
with most winning manner. Her hos
pitality IS unbounded, snd her art in
assimilating, as it we're, her guests, is in
the estimation of the San Francisco En-
eminer, positively wonderful. The
Governor, her husband, on occasions of
pbilee, takes back seat. That is, the
genial John presides over the sideboard
aud sees that the thirsty ones are helped,
while his wife chats about music with
the frivolous and enters into the ''isms''

Sorrows remembered sweeten present

What makes life dreary is the want of

Flattery will win a woman's love where

Sleep, riches and health are only
truly enjoyed after they have been inter

The best woman has always somewhat

woman's gentleness.
A crowd is not company aud faces are
but gallery of pictures, and talk but
a tinkling cymbal, where there is no
love.
