STRIKING DIVERSITY / STRANGE UNANIMITY. THE WORKING MAN'S MILLENNIUM. It is aaid tout ' Varioty is the spic* of life, 1 and that 'it adds toita flavour.' Tha poet (lsaao Watte, or Cowper, we forget which) waa not v. ry far wrong when he penned tbie oonplet, for certainly life would be but a dull monotonous thing were it not for its pleasing aud relieving contrasts. In the animal world wa have the graceful and shy deer and the bold and ferooions lion, the huge elephant, and the diminutive though destructive mouse; there is the plain, humble looking thrash, with its rich song, and the beautiful hamming bird whose musical - talents (and he bas aense enough to know It) are conspicuously absent; then there is the moostei whale and the tiny shrimp on which it feeds. Whilst in mankind the contrast, are still more marked and numerous, for not nly are their ' physical feature*,' ao to apeaka different, but they differ intellectually and Morally also. In some countries certain acta ara considered dishonourable and even criminal, and in others tha same acta would be looked upon aa legitimate and honourable. In China and India, for inatanoe, we believe, lying ia a virtue—we won't say a rara virtue; while among the Negroes of America cbioken-ftteallng ia considered one of the favourite nocturnal pastimes, and perfectly praiseworthy, too—provided they ' don't get caught in the aot.' In thys oountry 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 I enough to lay violent hands on a poor un • -tk protected fowl. jgj \. Aa to varying opinions on political matte:* "they ate legion, everybody baa an opinion of some sort; some think that Ballanoe and his party are the willing inatruments of the evil one; otbera think them the only men capable of ushering in that era of unexampled pros* . perity termed by abme enthuaiasta the Working Men's Millenium ; others, again, ire loud in their pralsea of the author of the \ Peblie Worke Policy; but one and all are unanimous in pronouncing Buohanau a House • of Common's Whisky ' the Purest and Best * In the Market.'
