Striking Diversity and Strange Unanimity.

THE WORKING MAN'S MILLENNIUM. It ia said that " Variety is the epice of life," and that "it adds to its flavour." The poet (Issac Watte, or Cowper, we forget which) was not very far wrong when he penned this couplet,- for certainly if c would be but a dull monotonous thing were it not for its pleasing contrasts. In the animal world we have the graceful and shy. deer, and the bold and ferocious Hod, the huge elephant, and diminutive though destructive mouse ; there •is the plain, humble-looking thrush, with its rich song, and the beautiful humming bird whose musical talents (and he has sense enough to know it) are conspicuously absent j tten there is the monster whale and the tiny shrimp on which it feeds. Whilst in mankind the contrasts are still more marked and numerous, for not only are their "physical features," so to speak, different, but they differ intellectually and morally also. In some countries certain acts are considered dishonourable and even criminal, and in otherß the same acts would be looked upon as ligitimate and onourable In China and India, for instance, we believe, lying is a virtue— we won't say a raie virtue ; while among the Negroes of America chicken-stealing is considered one of the favourite nooturnal pastimes, and perfectly praiseworthy, too— provided they " don't get caught in the act." In this country our tastes differ, and our ambitions carry us higher. ' We don't believe there is a single bank-teller in the whole of the country mean enough to ky violent hands on a poor unprotected, fowl. As to varying opinions on political matters, they are legion, everybody has an opinion of some sort; some think that Ballance and his party are the willing instruments of the evil one; others think them the only men capable of ushering in ! that era of unexampled prosperity termed by some enthusiasts the Working Men's Millennium; others, again, are loud in their praises of the author of the Public Works Policy, whilst others clamour for Sir Harry Atkinson ; but one and all are unanimous in pronouncing Buchanan's House of Commons Whisky "the Purest and Best in the Market." j

PSOFESSOR LIEBEG siys:--"We shall never know, how men were first directed to the use of Coffee, but we may consider the article so remarkable for its action on the brain and the substance of the organs of motion as an element of food for organs yet unknown, which are destined to convert the blood into nervous ■übstances and thus recruit the energy, of the moving and thinking faculties." If you wish to benefit yourself you could not do better than drink Crease's .AlCoctbe. Sold everywhere in lib and 21b tins. For It is the best. .
