GILES'TRIP TO LONDON:

A PaEM Laboubek's Fiest Peep at the CHAPTER IX. Reflective in the Hottse op Paelia menT AWE STRUCK IN WESTMINSTER Abbey—puzzled "in tub Towee of London. I had bin laying on the sofa with my hid in my hands about half-a-hour, wan I haard the door open, and hiking up there was Sairey agin. "' Me." she ses, " yow silly owd Griles, wha -I'the matter wi' ye ?" 'Wtv. 'a yow come back for?' I ses. • Why didn't ye kaap wi' that tall chap ?' 1 Because, 1 she ses, ' that tall chap bo nothing to me, and yow be everything.' ' That's a gude 'un, I ses, 'that is. Wot did ye let vim be so civil and 'obliging to yow then for ?' 'Wei,'-she ses, 'if he'd bin uncivil, yow'd a knocked him down as ye did that cabman.' ' That I would, mor,' I ses, a faaling my fists tighten as I spoke. ' But what maade ye go on with him like that,' I ses, 'if yo doan't care about 'im P ■ 1 It be no use my caring about him,* she ses, ' for he be a married man with a wife and family. It be on'y the ways o' town life. He be the footman at our house Tow know what I towd ye this mornin.' ' Yes,' I ses, • I know what ye said. yow sed yowd give a month's warning and come hoam.' ' Wei,' she ses, ' tis done, and now maake yerself happy. To-morrer, ye know is Saturday, and we can go and see the Houses o' Parleyment, and West minister Abbey, and the Tower tv, all in one day. And"now, she ses, 'say 'good night like a Christian, and not like a great owd bear, as ye did jest now.' I jumped up, and I guv her and a smack, ann I ses, 'Ye be a naation gude mawther, warth twenty o' these town-bred gals, and now I shall hey a gude night's rests, and so will yow, and we shall be ready for a staart in the morning.' In the mornin' we weant by the under ground railroad as far as Westminster, and wan we got out and on to the bridge I was wholly 'maazed. There I seed on one side o' the river them Parleyment Houses, and on the other the most wunnerful hospital 3 they towd me in the war Id. I ses, ' Sairey, be them the Parleyment Houses ? Them be wunnerful grand. They oant let us go in them grand plaaces, will they ?" 'Oh, yes,' she ses, ' a gentleman m a rume round there'll give ye tew tickets if yow ask 'im, and we can boath on us go in and stop as long as we like.' ' But it'll cost a lot o' money to go in there, Sairey, oant it ? ' I ses. ' Oh, no,' she ses : ' not a penny piece.' 1 Wot, go in for norn ?' I ses; 'Be that the Quaan's duing ?' Whosever duing it be I doant know, but we got tickets and went in for nor'n. It be a grand plaace inside, surety. The very paavemeht that we walked on was all figgered about alike, and I was afaard to injure it wi' my great butes, and I was going about setting down my feet as light as I could, and snatching 'em up quick, like a hoss, Sairey said, with the spring halt, till every one was starring and a larfin at us, Wan I luked up at the ceiling, it was more wunnerful still, for 'twas all cut about beautiful and figgered over wi' gold, and I could on'y stand still and gape. At last I haard some one say, ' This be the Quaan's entrance,' and I ses, 1 Sairey, the Quaan 'a walked about where we are,' and I staared at her with 'maaze ment. - ■. . . 'Doant think,' she ses, about; the Quaan or any one else, but luke at me and dv as I dv, and. doant make a ngger o yourself. You are jest as gude and better n the rest on 'em here.' "Dv yow think so, mor r I ses ; 1 can dv as hud a day's wuk as ere a one on 'em, I know." . "Wery well," she ses, "think about that and come and luke at these picters. They were tew o' the greatest picters that I ever seed'inmy life, but they were boath about wars. One was a war on land, and there-was the wery man drawed in it that I seed sittin on the ugly hoss on the top o' the arch naar the Paark There was so many puer dear dead and wounded cretura laying about, that how ever he got there on.his hoss or ever got away agin I couldn't make out The other was a war in a ship, and the men was drawed fighting three-quarters naked, with no shues on their feet, and I toes We weant out b 1 this rume into lots of others with picters everywhere her husband used to set, and the Prince o' Wales's chair and, wot.noU carved'and covered about wi gold, we wos luking at those grand things, for more than a hour, wan I ses. We ye had ' enough on it, Sairey ; let sbe oih Jest as we were a going out I sed some paaple walkin' aown ■£«*"* might be underground, and^E ses Let ■ go and see : I s'pose that,s where they Lap the coal.' We weant down, and I stands stock still, and ses, ' Sairey, this^is wunnerful indeed! The cellars o these Parleyment Houses be a thousand time* grander than maaster's drawing rume. ' Hush,' she ses, ' taake off yer cap, this is a era* o\chaarch like.' "ercßoarv^ll set down and thowt 0' alia ?'*>'re was on the cealmg, under theo«M»s, and Ises, ' With all this wealth. Jff> to think of the thousands that hey to dn a hud day's work on on y a penny loaf a hapor'#' ingens, and nevei eet nothin' better from yaar s end to yaar s end. If some of these law-makers, ] ses ' han't quite so much gold round em and could see more o' deal tables and ban floors, and empty cupboards, I ses • nprhans they'd maake better laws tor vi pSerhS.wuJingcretursin Norfolk one elsewhere. Come on, Sairey, 1 ses, al this gold and fillygvee-wuk^aakemefaa kinder ill, and I want a braath o fresl ai «Well, now," she ses, << we're, righ I Jweetruck that all my br*ath pained t

go right away. I ses to Sairey, 'We maant walk about here, may we, mor ?' " Oh, yes,' she ses, ' wo may do what the others are duing.' ' Well, I ses, ' this be grand and wun nueful. Jest luke at them curtings out in marble, Sairey ; wot be them ?' ' They be monnyments,' she whispers. ' Luke at this one,' she ses ; ' this be a monnyment to a great fighting' man built up at the cost of the naation.'

' Dear me,' I ses, wotcvor made 'em put up wunnerful thmg like that to a fightin' man in a charch of all plaaces in the warld ?' #

' Luke at this,' she ses ; ' this is to another fighting man : and so is tins ; and so they are more'n haal on 'em,' she ses, as we went along a-walking on tip toe. 'Why' I ses, 'owd Mace will believing a staty put up to me, wan he's dead, by the naation I s'pose.' ' No, no,' she ses, yow doant unner stand. He never killed nobody as I know on ; but these men 'a killed thousands. Most on 'm be fighters by sea with cannon, and some of 'em be fighters by land.' ' Dear me !' I ses, 'to put up such things as them in a charch to paaple wot was clever at destroyin' their fellcr creturs. Arnt there any, Sairey, to the gude and wise men ?'

' Oh yes,' she ses, ' I dessay if we ask this gentleman, he'll tell us where to find

' Come along o' me,' he ses, ' and I'll show ye.' And he tuke us a long way round, paast lots o' monnyments to fighters, and at last he corned to a little corner, and he ses, ' This be the plaace where we put our wise men.'

' Well,' I ses, ' I doant think norn o' them. They are on'y figgers sech as the furriners carry about on boards on their hids. Dv the naation put these up and pay for 'em ?' I ses. ' Doant ask sech a simple question,' he ses, 'the naation 'a got summot else todu with its money.' 'It'd be better'n puttin' 'em up to fighters,' I ses.

, Hush !' he ses ; ' this place is a sort o' sacred spot to me. Luke at that mau,' he ses a-pinting tv a figger on a wall ; ' that's a man that the marld never seed the like on. He doant want no monnyment,' he ses ; 'all heaven and aarili be his monnyment. Then he showed tne others, and said a lot about 'em. Vow doant think much on'em, I can see,' he ses ; but come here jest amoment ; here's something yow'll think less on.' * He tuke me by the arm, and led me a little way off and he ses, ' Luke down.' I luked down, and could see norn but a plain stone let into the floor, like wot there bo in our charch, with some letters on it. ' Now,' he ses, ' doant spaak a word for ten minutes.' He stood there so still, and looked so awful solemn, that I felt my wery hair on end, and my flesh craap. 'There,' he ses, 'rests a man that 'a done more for England's glory in modern times than any waryer that ever braatbed.'

' Wot did he dv ? ' I asks,

' Nothing, ' he se3, ' on'y wrote bukes and made paaple larf, and taached 'em to love aach other, and to help aach other, as no other man could taach 'em. '

I luked down again, and I whispers to Sairey, ' Write down them letters on a bit o' paaper, and we'll take it back to Norfolk, and we'll buy them bukes, and yow shall raad 'em to me at night wan the work is done.' She wrote 'em down, and there's the paaper now' and I'm towd the name on it is Chables Dickens.

Sune arter that wo corned out and maade the best of our way down to the Tower. Here we had to pay a chillia 1 each. The fust thing that sta iimed me was that somebody that 1 thowb must be one o' the highest lords in the land, 'cos he was dressed up so gay and fine, with crowns and things about his coat, and beutiful ribbons all over his hat, came up to u§ and seven or eight more, and said he would ahow us all over the building, and explain all the things that were to be sin. 'Well,' I thowt, ' this i 3 summot for owd Giles Hobbins to be showed over this great building and be talked to by a lord. This aloan is worth all the trouble I 'a bin put tv to git here.' ' Foller me,' ha ses, and then he began to tell us about thenaames o' the different towers that I can't 'member naw. Then he showed us where the two little Princes were hilled by their cruel uncle, which maade me think o' the babes in the wood that were ordered to be put to death by their uncle in Norfolk as I baard my mother say over and over again. Then he showed U3 all the kings settin, on their hosses dressed in their armor, and funny owd spears and things o' that sort. Arter that he showed us the block where the puer dear creturs had 0 ay their bids on, and the axe thst the were chopped off with Wot paaple were made on in them time 3 I can't think, for there were things that they tortered one another with because they couldn't all beleive 'sackly the saarne about religion. That puzzled my owd brain more'n anything. He showed us iron chains and staakes wot they tied paaple tv bum 'em 'cos they wanted to go to a different charch to wot the kings and quaaus went to. 1 never haard on it afore, and I never haard our paarson raad out o' the G-orspels that you were to burn anybody 'cos they won't believe wot yow did, nor yet that yow wor to put iron things on their legs and hands to hurt 'em ■with. I'd haard 'im raad that they wor to love their enemies ; and I acs, ' Sairey, mor, da yow think wot this lord say be true, and that they did them things in them days ? ' ' Did 'em !' she ses, 'o 1 course they did, and they'd dv 'em now if they durst. What did Betsy Sparkler tell ye ? ' 'Oh,' I s3s, 'yow maan about the High Church and Low Church ladies down in Suffolk.' ' 'Sackly so,' she ses, 'if they'd lived in them days they'd 'a done just wot that hussy of a quaan did. They 'a got 'sackly the same 'Well, raaly, Sairey,' I ses, • this bo awful to think on. If Christians 'a done such things as them they can't be much better'n then: paaple wot that chap was 'a talkin' about ir the paark, who don't believe in uther God oj c* Perhaps not,' she ses, 'but fact is fact Did'nt yow see that owd willan there, on i hoss in armor, that had ever so many of hii wives hids cut off ? he was a Christian and ( defender o' the faith. And didn tye see tha hussy on a hoss, in a long dress covered ove: with jewels? She had her cousin's hid cv nW and bad gentlemen favourites, and ha< Sir"id. cS og ff. She was a Christian." _ . -< WelV I ses, 'Sairey, yow know a sigh oMailry but I be naation glad Jknownor: about it, for it must be a awful thing t BtThen we weant into a plaace where ther was thousands upo' thousands o» guns an ta"oni£"«iA «words and pistols all shunt, like silver, and put into the most wunnerfi 10 While we was a gapin' at these', I ses, «M lord, it appears to me by the luke o th rume that yow be gettin ready for tt Prooshans.' _ . ~ ' Hullo!' ke says jby George, I know tni

manner o' spaach ; ye be countryman o' mine ; ye come from Norfolk.' And he stretched out his hand right over the hids o' all the others. He gi' me a rare grip, and he says, ' I'm norn of a lord. Fine fathers maake nfie birds ; wan I am stripped o' these ribbons, I'm on'y a common chap like yerself. In fact, I'm a owd weteran, and I 'a carried the owd Norfolk flag in many a blaze o' battle.' ' Hey ye thow ? ' 1 ses : ' I'm glad to maat ye.' 1 Well,' he ses, ' arter you 'a bin and sin the crown, and so on, I shall be off duty, and we'll hey a drop o' summot together for owd acquaintance sake.' We weant and seed the Quean's crown, and tbe Prince of Wales' crown, and a lot o' other fine things in a glass caase, but I didn't faal to care about 'em, and we come down and found the man that I thought was a lord luking out for us. 'Come on,' he ses, ' countryman, wot'U ye hey P' and he tuke us to the 'frashment rurae close by where we got our tickets. I lowd him I'd hey a glass of ale. ' And wot'll this young lady hey ?' he ses, ' for she be Norfolk tv, though she have got a little touch o' the Cockney. She'd better hey a glaas o' wine.' Then ho called fov the ale and the wine, and paid for 'em, and he ses, ' How be they all in the owd city ?' ' I 'spoae yow maane,' I ses, ' at Norwich there?' 'That's the spot,' he ses; 'how be they all?' • Well,' I ses, • they be the best lot I'a sin since I 'a bin away from hoam.' ' I love that owd plaace,' he ses, ' and they brew there a drop of naation gude stuff tv, ' he ses, as he emptied his glaas and set it down on the counter. ' I on'y wish I had a jug o' Bullard's best now to drink atwaan us; there be nothing like it in the whole country. I'a travelled aast and west, north and south, haaf over, the world, but never met wi' anything like that.' ' Now luie 'ere,' 1 ses, 'yow be a raal gude 'un. This young woman and Ibe going to marry in a fow waaks, and there I'll send yow a cask or tew tv drink our health on't.' ' Much obliged to yer,' be ses. 'Yovrr welcum good day.' We shook hands and parted. Sairey and I got hoam all right, and I said to her, 'This'a bin the happiest day I 'a had since I ,a bin out, gall,' but, ' I ses, 'to see them grand things we 'a sin to-day, and then to^ think o' them puer dear crcturs at home in their tumble down howsen -with precious little to ate and scarcely any bed-close in the winter, it maakes me sad, Sairey. There mnst be summot amiss, and how'twill ever come right is more'n I know.' ' Well, Giles,' she »es, ' We must luke to our selves and dv nothing wrong, but love our neighbours and try to dv our duty to one anot her—that's all we can dv to mend matters/ ' Yes, mor,' I ses, 'yow be right. That's wot we must dv wan we git married. We must haar the paaraon and dv as he tell us, aud get them bukes that maake paaple larf and that taach 'em to be kind to aach other, and we must raad 'em well, and as far as we can make things right all round.' To be continued.

To the Editor of the Evening Stae. Sic, —This morning's Herald cautious the public to be aware of sugar, not to pur chase nwo ; that should they do so they will at some future day repent, and say oh, how dearly have I paid for my sweetening, and had I followed the advice of that ever wise contemporary, whose correspondent must have been "Te Kooti" or some other anxious rebel, who would have us wait until he can produce sugar of his own, How generous, how good of him. Innocent public, do not for a moment think its Herald correspondent is think ing of himself, and should the cargo of the Hokitika be sold here how many little commission he will lose. Oh, no ! Such mercenary motives would not suit his service,—l am, &c, Spy, „___

To*? the Electors of the City of Auckland- GENTLEMEN,— As a Candidate for the City Council Election it is necessary you should know the ticket upon which I claim your s\iffrages. I pledge myself to be free and independent, allying myself to no party or clique, and I am de termined to oppose the extravagant expenditure of public money proposed to be spent in Waterworks. Though believing the city should be well supplied with pure water in abundance, both for sanitary measures as well as cases of serious fires, yet I am con vinced we a*e far in advance of our time in expending so much money. I most certainly object to cutting down the streets, viz. : Princes street, Shortland street. Upper Queen street, and others, where we have good and substantial roads ; more especially as contiguous to the Railway will be a substantial road to Parnell ultimately. I would rather advocate the forming of streets in the city which have not been formed, so that the small ratepayer may realise the same benefit as the large ratepayer. I am opposed to giving a larger sum than the 415,000 for the site offered by the City Council to the Provincial Government for building a Town Hall, although I am satisfied that Auckland has arrived at that position wheiTit should have a Town Hall of its own with suitable accommodation for its Council and for public meeting, thereby saving the heavy rental at present"iwourieci for Council Clia«vhers. lam opposed to bonowi^g large suii« o f mO ney for improvements in the city, thereby increi.3inss <&.xation, unless I can clearly see the money so spent shan h^ invested so as to realize a profit to the city, thereby reducing taxation. ■ . , » I would advocate asphalte ioot-walks instead of i paving, as it would answer every purpose, and save a great expense to the city. I would advocate a revision of the By-laws, and a , duly appointed Solicitor as Clerk to the Council, that we may have laws properly framed, and also a Clerk \ whom we could hold responsible in all legal matters; and also that the accounts should be so simplified that all ratepayers may, if necessaryj^ee • and know how their money is spent. \^*s» I am, Gentlemen, I Yo\xr obedient Servant,^: JAMES P. ~&&&i- Eequisition.
