STRIKING IUVKR STY. AND STRANGE UNANIMITY, t U B WO UKING MA.VS MILLENNIUM It is sail that ' V arieiy is the apico oi ife an I that ' it p.dda to irs flavours. l'h'3 put (Isac Watts, or Cosvper, we for^op which) was not very far wrong when ho penned this couplet, for certainly life nould bo a dull monotonous thing ivojvj it not for its pleasing and relieving contrasts. In tho animal world wo hare llio graceful and shy deer and the bold ar.d frrncious lion, the hugh elephant, and the diminutive though destructive mouse, thcro 15 tl o plain, humble-looking thrush, with its rich song, Mid the beautiful humming bird wu^uv, musical talente (aud hu has sonse cp"">jh to know it) are conspi euotisly absent ; then there is the monster whale aud the tiny shrimp on which it feeds. Whilst in mankind the coustasts aro still more marked aud numorous, for not only are their ' physical features,' so lo speak, iliffuront, but they differ intellectually and morally also. In some countries certain acts are considered dishonourable and even criminal, and in .others the su.uo acts would De looked upon as legitimate and hrmouraale. In Chim> and Indja^ for instance, wo bulifve, lying is a virtue — we won't say a are viifun; while among the Nogroob of America chicken-stealing is considered onu of the favourite nociurual pastimes, and perfectly praiseworthy, too — provided lhi\v ' c'on't jjet caught in the act.' In this country our tastos differ, and our am bitionsenry us higher, We don't believe tilers is a single bank-teller in the whole of the country moan enough tolay violent hauria on a poor unprotected fowl. As to vaijiug opinions on political mailers, they are legion, everybody hasar opijiic.il i-f some sort; some tbink that Ba!l;inco and hia party aro the willing indtrumnQis of Urn ovil ewe; others tbink thorn the only men capable of usheriugin that era of unexampled prosperity termnd by some onthui.-ists the Working Men's Millennium ; others, again, are loud in thoir praises of the author of tho Public YVorks Policy, whilst others cHinour for Sir Harry Atkinson; but one and nil are unanimous in prononnniug Buchanan's House of Commons Whisky ' the Purest and Best i» the Market.. • r\ N THE FARM It] is really wonderful to note the difference in treatment of stcck in different countries of the world, and t varying degrees of provision made for contingencies. Horso owners as a rule are not parsimonious men, and yet fow if any make the slightest preparation for ailments in frequent; occurrences, "hoie shoulders or saddle galls," th_>y say, " will heal themselves." What b the use of fretting over them ? Sprains, bruises, &c\, do not appear on the surface, therefore what is tho uso of being hypersensitive and worrying ourselves ? Stiffness in the joints and cramps, wo believe, do affect otlur people's horses, but ouvs remain free. It is Here that the humane and thinking man outshines his thoughtless neighbour, and such a stable is never witbout a bottlo of St. Jacob's Oil, the best known liniment for man or beast. Koep your stcck free from stiffness and pain, and your employes on tho lookout for their minor ailnn.-nts, and you double their usefulness. In colics, colds, and similar attacks St. Jacob's oil is invaluable. fTiHE WATER BU R V AGE.
