"A Lady wishes to meet with a gentleman or lady to share her home as
sole paying guest; one with a hobby for gardening preferred; every home
comfort; terms, £300 per annum."--_Sunday Paper._

"The Hindus and Mahomedans are the two eyes of India, but have long
been engaged in a tug-of-war. On account of this cleavage both have
suffered, but now the wall of separation is broken down, and they are

having been pulled out like a thorn. They are advised to give up biting
each other for the future."--_Indian Paper._
