THE RETIREMENT OF MR BRYCE.

HE SEEKS THE SOLITUDE OE HIS HOME. Mr Bryce has retired from public life, and seeks in the bosom of his family that consolation that the domestic hearth is said to be designed to supply to those who had to fight life’s battles, and who are supposed to bo especially fitted by Providence to receive life's kicks and insults. The sun shines as usual and coaxes the early buds into the full leaf, and in the "most delicate manner” suggests to the flowers that the time has come for them to don their spring attires. The birds chirp and sing just as merrily as ever, and the babbling brook, too, " still goes on,” tumbling o’er boulders, and sparkling in the sunshine, just as if nothing had happened:— For men may come and men may go, But it goes on for ever. And yet Mr Bryce has left the political arena and retired into private life. But, seriously, we cannot but express regret that the recent imbroglio should have resulted in the resignation of such a prominent politician, and we venture to hope that the day may not he far distant when the Legislative Chamber will be again graced with the presence of the member far the Waikato. Buchanan’s House of Common’s Whiskey, on the other hand, has not the faintest intention of retiring from the field. On the contrary it affords unmistakable evidence that it has “come to stay.” It ia a singularly pure spirit, and possesses a rich, delicate flavour. It is the most popular brand in the market.
