A FAITHFUL FRIEND.

Mr J. Vkarson, of Arcade, the well-known cycling, tourist, when riding over to Melbourne with his friend, Mr A. G. Chapman, relates several adventures they met with on their long journey. For four daya after leaving Sydnoy terrible wet weather was experienced, and many of the watar-eoursos, which in tho summer time are nearly dry, were swollen so much that thoy had groat difficulty in crossing tbera. On one occasion thoy wero compelled to atrip and carry their machines across, the current being so strong that they wero in imminent danger of being swept away. Although they were for several days riding in wet clothes, no dire results accrued, as on each evoning after retiring they took tho precaution to rub thomselvos down with St, Jacob'B Oil, which Mr Pearson always carries with him on his tours, finding it a capital remedy for stiffness and soreness of the muscles, as woll aa a provontative and cure for painful ailments induced by cold. Numerous snakes wore met with on the journey. One monster, over 6ft long, caused them some trouble, as in trying to avoid it the two cyClistscolliclod, the result of which was a bruised wrist and a swollen ankle, bub the application of tho ever ready St. Jacob's Oil prevented any bad effects.
