The L\ Number will include a HAND3OHIE COLOURED PRESENTATION PICTURE, Which baa been reproduced in twelve colours, from a painting, specially executed for the News, by Capt. M. T. Clayton, and which represents a most picturesque incident in connection with the peopling of this Colony by our race, viz :— "THE SETTLEMENT OF WELLINGTON BY THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY." The scene, which depicts an historical gathering of Pioneer Ships in Port Nicholson, March 8,1840, has been graphically described by E. J. Wakefield, as follows" In he morning, a grand salute was tired by all the ships, which lay at anchor in an extended line between the beach and Somes' Island- The weather was delicious; and a large concourse of those on shore assembled to gaze on the imposing sight. Si* large Ships, dockcd with colours, above which the New Zealand lla? floated supreme, were thundering away. The natives shared in the general excitement, and proposed to take Colonel Wakelleid in their canoes round the fleet. No sooner said than done: and away they started in three large war-canoes, racing under the stern of each ship in succession, while the salute continued. In Epuni's canoe, the place of honour near the stern was assigned to Colonel Wakefield, and the two other canoes were commanded by Warepori and Tuarau. They shouted their war-song most vigorously as they passed close to each astonished poop-load of passengers, and completed the circle of the vessels at full speed, without a single pause,' 1 The Number is profusely illustrated throughout with Beautiful Photo=Engravings of most interesting New Zealanj subjects.

When I told Pa. lie 6aid he would give h 7inws to help me. and half-a-crown if I too the first prize (He is a Liberal, but kee] me short of pocket money) Ma said she ha a scheme, and was sure it was better tlia what the politicians were fighting over. E I started on ray essay with the help of Hansard. Old Age Pensions are intended torsive ol peopie :■ shilling p. day, instead of them goir ti the Charitable Aid Board for rations an boots and rents, and being asked question They call it a pension because the old me and women will demand it as a right, instea of asking it as a favour, and perhaps n< getting it then, and then they won't be looke on as paupers. My dictionary says a pauper is one wh cannot help himself and is a burden on tl State. AVhen I got this far Fa said the dictionar was old, and out of date, and he would witl draw the half-crown offer Ma said she woul help me. and then I started again. If a boy or a man don't want to be burden he ought to save up his coppers, an when ho grows to 65 years of age he won want no pension, or rations either, and anj one can save up fourpence a week bv leavin off cigarettes of stickjaw. And 'there i ' another and easier way in saving, my ■ M says--in knowing how to buy. She buys" gURATURA rpEA. V and saves sixpence per week, and showed m a calculation that pence a week, if starte if. at 25 years old, and well invested, would pri '' vide a pension at 65. Alien I grow np, 1 ai . going to adopt my mother's suggestion, h ' making my wife buy gDKATURA IJIEA, • ! and be independent of pension. it; , * GEORGE SMITH, Fourth Form.
