NIGHT ON THE FOOTPATH.
Bleached white faces worn and wan, Youth and age and -want and care, Seething, surging on and on, Flitting, flushing everywhere. «/ Manliness and degradation. Gilded knave and sodden sot, Honesty's irmnaculation Mingle in the seething lot. Sad the music emanating Discordantly from tramping feet Grinding, clattering, grating, grating On the footpath in the street. Constant stream of shifting featurea Showing in the lamplight glare; Surging horde of struggling creatures, Faces flashing everywhere. Thomas M'Mahok. Wellington, October 1898. —It is recorded of a young fop who visited one of the Rothschilds that he was so prGud of his malachite sleeve-buttons that fie insisted upon exhibiting them to his host. The latter looked at them and said : " Yes — it is a pretty stone. I have a mantelpiece made of it in the next room." ANOTHER CASK OF BHEUHATISIT CUBED BT chamberlain's pain balm. My eon was afflicted with rheumatism, which contracted his right limb until he was tmable to walk. After using one and a half bottles of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, he was able to be about again. I can heartily recommend it to persons suffering from rheifc matism.— John Snidbb, Freed, Oalhoun Ocf£ JSLJK*. Eos gal§ &x all leading ohemirtii
