delightful refrain it would be for the | members: — , Canty we've been a' th'gither, j Canty we've been one and a , Canty we've been a' th'gither, When the Super's gone awa. Mr. Freer would have no objection to a _rl. '"'>f grog under such a delicious dis uA ion. Mr. uarlcton would enjoy a 41 tte in such a situation. There .%f be a nice fragrant aroma in Mr. 3* and's coffee on such an occasion. _ is not the slightest hope that any at female domestics coming out to the order of the Mayor being employed to ser ve tea. They havp a dangerous volu bility of tongue. Mr. Dyer was present at the caucus, and entered the chamber deep iv "blue-books*" His political reputation would appear to have suffered some diminution. He has a close eye to divisions. He is meditating a line of balloons from Mahurangi to Port Albert. Mr Shepherd will probably second this motion pro forma- whatever this may mean. But it is not a compliment to Mr. Dyer's good sense. Mr. Carleton came in with Respon sible Government under his arm lne poor creature was almost out of breath. Mr. Carleton is the Boanerges of colonial polit;c« He does not like Responsible Government. No man of such a political life likes it. Providence was kind to some people in making this politician what he £ jSTo man has done more evil or iess | good within the reach of his opportunity. Bis political honour is heard in the halls of the Councils, but its voice is silent in the lobbies. Mutual accommodation cuts the "political" logs it sits on, and Mr. Carleton is the apostle of political turn ing. He has served all Governments, and been unfaithful to all. He has caressed and attacked every species oi political adventurer. He cares not who are the passengers if he drives the coach, lie takes the ignorant under his wing. l*is relation to my friend " Mcphistopholcs was noticed almost instantly. He is Saturnine and exuberant by turns. His official "inuings" are prolonged by the most unscrupulous official " heluuig. No man has ever praised himself so much, and depreiated his province so persist ently. When Mr. Carleton is out or Auckland there is scarcely an houest man iv it. He is the Spirit of the Mist by Waitangi Falls. Everything political with him is organic ; and whitlcs "a party tune." Political morality! Who ever heard of such a thing, quoth Mr. Carleton. It is a de served fate that he now hangs behmd instead of driving the Colonial coach. Wo doubt he would like a seat in the Provincial Box. There are a few members who will hold the reins for him. Re sponsible Government is bad enough, but the Government of Carleton House and the alphabetic firm would be _ worse. Everything becomes equivocal in Mr. Carieton's hands. The only record of politics has, under his auspices, become a party organ which is despised and laughed at in every coffee-house from St. Paul's to Threadneedle-street. N ihil ielujib quod non clestruxit. What ho touches he destroys. All men are vain glorious. lam Egomet and Egomet, and I am the major, minor aud conclusion of Mr. Carieton's logic. Responsible Go vernment in New Zealand has become a kind of political "Aunt Sally." No wonder the easily assumed license of long tolerated allowance should " shy" at it. For every depth there is a lower still. There is a lowest depth in political infi delity, and Mr. Carleton has reached it. Mr. Maokay is a minister without a portfolio. What is a Minister in Auck land without a portfolio ? Why can he not buy a portfolio ? How officially naked a Minister looks without a portfolio. I wonder what Ministers keep in their port folios. Does Mr. Lusk keep the " road engine locked up in his," Mr. Sheehau " the rails of the Kaipara railway" in his, or Mr. Hurst " the last rose of summer' in his ? Surely Mr. Mackay might have bought a portfolio at Upton's. Could not Queen Victory Hoterine give him a leaf out of her music book. No doubt Mr. Mackay is waiting to see whether he will not be obliged to get one big enough to hold Irresponsible Government.

A clergyman sprained his ancle and became a lame 'un. We know a tradesmen who is such a coward that he his afraid to strike a balance sheet. "Mamma," said a little boy who had been sent to dry a towel before a fire, "is it done when it's brown ?" A writer in the ABallarat Star suggests that a day of humiliation should be set apart for the fearful crop of lies -which have been told in election speeches. " Are does bells ringing for fire ?" inquired Simon of Tiberus. "No indeed," answered Tiberus, " dey got plenty fire, and de bells are ringing for water." "Salt" is the subject of the school-boy's latest composition : — " The salt is a spice which spoils tho potatoes if you forget to put t on." A young candidate for the legal profession was asked what he should first do when employed to bring an action. " Ask for money on account." He passed. Eve had some advantages that no other married woman ever enjoyed, chief among which was the fact that her husband could never lacerate her heart by telling how his mother used to cook. A Missouri newspaper claims that the hogs of that State are so fat that, in oi ier to find out where their heads are, it is necessary to mako them squeal and then judge by the sound. A punctilious student once pompously in quired, " Can virchu, fortichude, gratichude, or quiechude, dwell within a man who is a stranger to rectichude P" We should think not. So many chews would have a tendency to nauseate a novice.
