The Caso of Mr. J. HIKDLEY. (By a Spn'itit Repoiftr.) One of the most important problems for the solution of fond parents is: " What shall wo do with our boys when they grow up?" After weighing the pros and cons of every conceivable occupation, the enigma becomes more perplexing and intricate. Suggestions, born of the wisdom of the fatnor's experience usually come into contlict with the mother's generous ideas of " 601110thinn; \\rj)\t and gentlemanly" for her son's* future destiny, whilst very often the innocent youth upsets all calculations by carving out a career for himself which parental minds had not considered. The advantages and otherwise of indoor and outdoor occupations are bewildering, so the boy who chooses for himself saves his parents considerable rospens b lity. Mr. .lames Hindley, of Victoria-avenue, F.den Ten-are, Auckland, expatiated upon seme of th" disadvantages of open-air work, which he regretted (0 be an authority on. "Have you any reason to complain of your vocation ?" asked the writer. "Considering that 1 have been a martyr to lumbago for eighteen years. I think I have," was Mr. Kindlcy'; reply. Gardening is all very well it. its way. Peop.c say it is so very •hoalthy, and such interesting work. S< it is in dry weather, but the wet seasons nearly killed me. Continual ex pnsure to cold and wet brought oil m\ comp'aint, winch commenced operations rather mildly in comparison to what i was like before I pot. rid of it. I I'd a sensation of cli.liincss 1 mining throng my bones, besides being languid am weary. My skin was hot and dry, am' the joints of my limbs were hot an' swollen soon alter the iliness started I could not bear to be touched on ac count of the oxco?.s'vo. f-endorness ol my body, the resulting pain when ' accidentally came into contact with any thing being so extreme that it mad. me yell. Then the frightful agonic: made their stronghold 111 my back, am it was a matter ol impossibility for in. to stoop to pick anything up. or even to laee my b >ot«. ! have been so bad willi luinbago pains in my back that I mid not turn in bed." "I sunnose you found .some difficulty in getHf- l<! sleep?" _ _. '• When the torture was at its height. I could not >!eep n wink. T have lost many a night's rest through the vicious attacks nf my relentless foe. and, in make matters worse, my complaint math me useless during the day. ,\obod.\ could possibly be worse than 1 was, and it was no use trying to work when thus paralysing visits of pain were on. '7 he least movement, increased the agon.\ tenfold. Sometimes I could not let my feel touch the ground. Occasional!', the pains became slightly less acute am! piercing, but !iie dull, wearying ache i> cnliar to lumbago never left me, so thai there was a continuous gnawing feeling all over ray body." " It. is a wonder your system withstood such trials." "My constitution, luckily, is one of the best, otherwise T would have collapsed for ever. Would you believe that T had other ailments as well? Itis a solemn fact. Tortured as I was with one complaint, I had yet- other sufferings to endure in the form of neuralgia.. Sharp, (killing pains went up and down my face like lightning. The fiendish agonies extended to the back of my bead, and nearly drove me out of my mind. These attacks lasted for Borne considerable time, and I am sure of having gone for days without bavins .11 brief respite. When I went to bed was the time it was most tormenting, ilnur after hour passed away, and my face | burned again with the terrific shooting I nains. When in a state of total collapse I .sometimes lest consciousness ill! an hour or two's sleep from which I ] was awakened, without exception, with j the .punning and gnawing pains in lny face. Complete disorganisation of my | nerves took place, and 1 was easily ex- c , tiled and very irritable." j "No wonder, Mr. Undley, that your ; patience was exhausted." i
