We desire to draw the attention of our readers to tho sale by Messrs. M'Landress, Hepburn, and Co., on Satin day next, of sections in M'Glashan's Valley, Dunedin. The sections are of the most desirable nature, and an unprecedented opportunity is afforded to all persons desirous of obtaining really valuable building bites. Mr. John Carroll, George Street, Dunedin, is now prepared to execute all commissions entrusted to him connected with valuing property of every description. Mr. Carroll's experience and business qualifications afford a sufficient voucher for the satisfactory manner iv which he will fulfil his task. The Princess Louise and ths Marquis were waiting on the Sunday school scholars at a i - eccnt cnleitainment given them at llidcau Hall, and tbe former asked a prcttj' little girl it she wouldn't take more cake. The little guest declined with awe, and her hostess, fearing that bashCulness was standing in tho way, pressed her again. Again she declined. Her highness, struck by tho sweet modesty and childlike simplicity of the pretty creature, cut a large slice from the cake aud said. " Well, my dear, you must, at loast, take this home as n present from me ; let me put it in your pocket." The child hesitated, blushed, and exhibited a decided unwillingness to accept the proffered gift. And the more unwilling she scorned, the more charmed the princess became with her innocent and blushing diffidence. Using a gentle force, she found the pocket of her young visitor, when 10, to her infinite astonishment, she discovered that it was already filled to overilowing with cake which this bland little heathen Chinee had stealthily abstracted from the table. — Canadian paper.
