NATURAL PlIENOMENA IN AUSTRALIA.

DISEASES AND ’l‘IIElR REMEDIES.

Australia has been called a country of centraieties, not only in point of climate. but in nature itself. The diseases and inflrmitics of men are, however, the same in this remote region as at the centre of civilizition. and here. as there, the common sense and practical experience of all classes have taught them the inestimahlc Value of Professor Ilolloway’s remedies. in the various maladies incident to the human race.

It might be thought, perhaps, that, because we abound in exceptions to all rules of natural history. because our swans are black, our cherries grow with the stones on the outside, our delicious looking pears are solid wood, our bees are stingless, our flowers are sccntless. our trees are barkless. our owls screcch by day. and our cuckoos sing at night—that the complaints prevalent in Australia are also unusual, and cannot be reached and subdued by the preparations which have conquered sickness and death in every other region of the earth. This is a grave error. In these colonies, above every other country under heaven, their success has been uniform and decided. It is true that the maladies mast common in Australia, Van Diemaa’s Land and New Zea. land have certain features which slightly distinguish them from their congeners in Europe, but these powerful remedies conquer every endemic symptom, and accomplish a cure with the same certainty that the correct application of mathema- tical principles solves a problem in the science of numbers.

Rheumatism, in peculiarly distressing forms, prevails in many of the gold districts, crippling the limbs and blasting the hope of the miner. The Ointment in all such cases produces the most astonishing results. Contracted joints, when lubricated with this penetrating unguent, soon recover their flexibility; the pain and inflammation which accompany acute rheumatism are invariably relieved by its application. and even when all the limbs are partially paralysed by the disease, they rapidly recover the power of motion and their pristine vigour, as the flesh and muscular fibre absorb this re- vitalizing preparation, under the friction of the hand. Neu- ralgia, Tic-Doloureux. and all other affections of the nerves of sensation. are cured with equal facility by the some means. The Pills. from their direct Operation upon the secretions. and through them upon the blood, may be also used with marked advantage in every instance where the Ointment is employed to remove the outward developments of disease, and fomentaticn of the parts affected, with warm water, to. gether with an occasional resort to warm drinks for the promotion of perspiration, are useful adjuncts to producing a. speedy cure.

For all diseases of the muscles, nerves and glands, as well as for ulcers, bruises, eruptions. tumors. and scrofulous afl'ec- tions, I am satisfied that Holloway’s Pills and Ointment are the only thorough and invariable specifics—From the pen

of an Old Sealer.

A school teacher in a Texas town was grossly insulted by a man, who told her at the same time that if she had any friends to avenge the insult she could send them to him. The lady re-

lied that she was able to protect herself, and drawings pistol shot the man, killing him on the spot. I

SPRING AND WINTRY WEATHER.

A freezing blast, a balet’ul sky,

A rising river brawling by,

The forest shivering in the wind,

Its naked limbs no shelter find;

The plain, all barren at the hill. Each bud the savage frost doth kill ; Can this be spring, the glad, the fair? Can this he youth withouten care? For both should be of sunny hours, A reign ofjoy, and love, and flowers.

Then even spring-time may not bring The promised joy upon its wing,

And even youth ’s bright tender form Arise amid the cruel storm,

And vainly for a shelter crave,

A plaything for the wind and wave ; And still more merciless the scorn Of those in lap of plenty born,

The joy of “ youth withonten care,” Will scant consideration bear.

However sharp and keen the blast,

The time doth come its wrath is past; However sad youth’s early fate,

Joy still may on its future wait;

Its woes like shadows fleet away,

And mercy, love and peace have sway. The surface of the flood we know,

But not the treasures hid below; Enough the knowledge, “ Humbly trust, Ilis ways are ever kind and just.”

Tue QUEEN.-——Her Majesty has in some degree given up the seclusion which has been maintained of late years. The short residence at Buckingham Palace. and the holding of a Council there, together with the reception of the civic autho- rities. are all to be noted. together with the report that her Majesty will again reside for a short time in the metropolis this season. Her Majesty continues in the enjoyment ofex- cellent health, and, notwithstanding the inclemeney of the weather, the Queen has not passed a day during the week without either driving or riding about the grounds in the Home Park. In future the Queen, when in town, instead of being driven in a carriage and pair as heretofore. will pro- ceed in a carriage drawn by four grays. with outriders in scarlet livcries.-—-Court Journal.
