EARNED, NOT BOUGHT.

How hard it often is to earn and maintain a good reputation, and how easy it is to iose one. As with a man's reputation, so it is with other things in this life. Some things achieve a reputation which stays with them. They are founded on intrinsic value. They face the public backed up by honesty, and work their way quietly and thoroughly. Wellington people want no better proof^of merit than is contained in the following experience. * _ Mrs. Heenan, 37, Arthur-street, Wellington, says : "For yeprs my husband has had trouble with his kidneys. He hr.d a severo pain in the small of his b^ck, which was so bad that it was sgony for him to work. Then he used to be always drowsy, and was so tired that he said he felt inclined to be resting all the time. He used many medicines to overcome this undesirable state of affairs, but was not satisfied with any of them. I« fact, nothing seemed able lo give him relief.

Says the writer : "Tho nikau is a very | beautiful tree, of very slow growth, and ] the day will come when it will be alI most extinct; For Christmas decorations j the nikan is in great demand, as gener1 ally an order for green stuff incltides a special injunction 'with plenty of nikau,' Those who know the New Zealand bush in iifi natural state will admit that it has rare beauties — possibly there is no more beautiful indigenous growth anywhere else in the world. And when met with in profusion the nikau palm is a rare sight. The number of those lovely denizens of our forests that yecif by year are ruthlessly chopped down is deplorable. The thoughtless purveyor of greenery does not stop to think how | many years the nikau takes to attain the mature beauty which tempts him Lo use his axe. Olhenvise lie might leave the palm in its natural state."
