THE TWO BEST SAINTS. (Extract from an old soldier’s letter to bis comrade) Dear Harry—“ * * * And now as to my health. Well, old fellow, you know that our nights in the trenches during ’65 and '66 were not calculated to lengthen our days, but at that time we did not mind it, as our sole object was to catch Kereopa, but he had too many faithful followers. Brave fellows those old Maoris were ! How in our maturer years we can admire them! Lord how I wander! What I want to say is that I have been laid up with a fearful dose of sciatica and lumbago, eight weeks in bed unable to turn. My poor wife had a time of it. After spending a good round sum in medicines, lotions, and God knows what, we got some St. Jacobs oil. I was always a scoffer at patent medicines, but, by Jove, I shall be more cautious in future. It was the only thing that seemed to tackle the old enemy and clear him out. I have an occasional reminder, but St, Jacob always comes to my aid. Indeed, next to St. Patrick, he is the boat saint in the calendar. # * # Tours, &c., 11 E. I. O’DEA.” For Continuation of Reading Matter See Fourth Page. Wanted.
