Striking Diversity and Strange Unanimity.

THE WORKING MAN'S MILLENNIUM. It is said that " Variety is the spice of life," and that "it adds to its flavour." The poet (Issac Watts, 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 1 contrasts. In the animal wtorld we have the graceful and shy deer, and the bold and ferocious lion, 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 mußical talents (and he has sense enough to know it) are conspicuously absent; tlren 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 others 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 rate virtue ; while among the Negroes of America chicken-stealing is considered one of the favourite nocturnal pastimes, and perfectly praiseworthy, too—provided they " don't get caught in the act." in this country our tastes differ, and our ambitiotis carry us higher. We don't believe there is a single bank-teller in the whole of the country- mean enough to lry 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 Commonß Whisky " the Purest and Best in the Market."

Thb best Bemedy fob Indigestion. — Norton's Cahomilh Pills are confidently Becommended as a Simple Bemedy for Indigestion, which is the caußO of nearly all the diseases to which we are subject. Norton's Pills, with justice called the 'Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach," act as a powerful tonic and gentle aperient* are mild in their operation, and safe under any circumstances. Sold in bottles at Is lid, 2s 9d, 11s, by all medicine vendors throughout the world. We cEp tno following important testi ■onial from the "Mawarra* >lercun #/ (N.S.TV.)., on the 30th March. It needs n« comment : — " Mr. John Loveclay, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that aftcs raftering for four years with acute grave), he has experienced almost complete rellei by Rasing Sander and Sons' Euealypfr , Extract. He says seeing the said Extract fcdvertised in the " Illawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to ohtaic a bottle of the medicine from .Mr. Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of It gave him great relief at once. ■«' He stole* that between the 10th March instant, whe.r he obtained tho first bottle of tht extract and on the 19th, the use of that inedieini lontinued to afford him relief, to which hi bad been a stranger for four yeaTS.*Mr Loveday writes also that he has found tht Eucalypti Extract a cure for rheum at isnj M well as gravel. He requests us to publish thiß information through the " Mer euiy."
