An ' ' 'obcasioriail • correspondent writes: "In the paragraph in Tuesday's §tab, extracted from my report of Mr Major's meeting, I much regret that ray wordsvetfd! hot 'convey -my meaning. The) Chairman (Mr Hurley) 18*00 honorable and straightforward a man to cast . a doubt on his impartiality, which is implied in the quoted. What I meant to say was that no show of hands f was called for, although the rihorus of \ "ayes' was undoubtedly teeble when the declared" the motion, carried (I Jhink he added unanimously) amidst laughter atfl applause!" .

SHORT— BJJT POINTED. The celebrated R- Biirton says:— >*'Live not beyond thy means. _,Give cheerfully. Pay thy dues willingly. Be not a slave to thy money ; omit not occasion, embrace opportunity, lose no time. Be humble to thy superiors, re- , spectful to thine equals, affable to all, but not familiar. Flatter no man. Lie not, dissemble not. Keep thy word and promise. Be constant in a good resolution. Speak truth. Be not oplriionative, maintain no factions. Lay no wagers, make no comparisons. Find no faults, meddle not with other men's matters. Fear not that which cannot be avoided. Undervalue not thyself. Accuse no man, commend no man rashly. Go not to law without great cause. Strive not with a greater man." He could have added, "Keep up appearances. Dress well. Bee that your boots are well polished. Use Tan-01. Superior 'to all. 'The last word in polishes. Sixpence -per tin at all stores."
