'As for Hodger,' he ses, 'the Quaan and her minyons grow paale at the men tion of hisnaame.'

' Well,' I ses, «they must be terrible fellers, but I've haard quite enougli on 'em, and I'm off.'

' Stop one moment,' he ses, 'you see in me the victim of a bloated 'stockrasy and a brutal priestcraft. Luke at my shues,' he ses,

1 They be naation bad/ I ses, ' not worth a brass farden.'

'Luke at my close,' he ses. 'Norn but rags, I ses, old Jack Row ud turn up his nose at 'em.' ' Go to my hoam,' he ses, ' and behold my staarving wife and five children.' ' No, I thankee, I ses, ' I 'a sin quite enough o' yow.' ' I v peal to ye, then,' he ses, ' as a feller countryman, to aid me and my suffering family, if it be on'y to the extent of a single brown.'

' I thowtwot ye was,' I ses; 'one o' them lazy beggars that owd Larrenco 'a got owd on. A bloated 'stockrasy,' I ses, 1 oant git much out o' yor blucl and swaat. Ye lazzy cretur,' I ses, 'I doant believe ye ever did a hud day's work in yer life. I wish I had yer in the harvest field for a waak,' I ses, ' I'd git some cement for this 'ere 'morial out o' yer groans and shraaks, But come along, Sairey,' I sgs, ' a-talking wi' him is wus'n hugging a stale baar-barrel.'

Wo walked off, and sune we sat down on another sate. And, my eye, there was now a stammen lot o' carriages, wi' lords and ladies in 'em, and servants outside all covered wi' good lace, and their heads darbed up wi' whitewash. There was hundreds opo' hundreds. It saamed as if all the rich folks in Lunnen had come out to show theirselves. There wor the ..adies wi' all their fallals on—blue and pick and white and purpose and green ribbons —I be dashed if tworn't like a lot of moving flower beds. Sech wonderful pairasols, tv, they had—wi' pink linins to make their 'plexions, as Sairey said, luke lovely. 'I'll tell'ee wot, Sairey mor,' I ses, arter I had been a-luking at 'em about a quarter-of-a-house; ' they may howd their hids as high as they like, but there beant 'ere a one on 'em can come to yow.' ' Doant be fulish, Giles,' she ses, a giggling and a-luking down on the ground. 'No more they can't,' I ses. ' Vow doant want a pink pairasol to make yer 'plexion any better. I'll pound it,' I ses, ' that haalf on 'em 'a got other gals' hair on their hids, and yer'a yer own; and the tother haalf 'a got other gals' teeth, and yow aint come to that yit. But wot,' I ses, 'be them they 'a got a-nussing on their laps—dawgs ?' ' Why, yes,' she ses, ' wot should they be ? It be fashionable here to nuss dawgs.' ' Well,' I ses, ' I a' sin my owd grand mother nuss the little pigs wan tlie owd sow had got more'n she could bring up ; but I never seed nobody nuss dawgs afore. Doant the 'stockrasy hey children ?' I ses.

1 Vow silly feller,' she ses, ' yow doant think raal ladies like them 'ud nuss children, dv yow ? One o' them dawgs cost a mint o' money, and they are fed and washed and combed better'n any child.'

' Well,' I ses, ' these be rum ways. I hope yow oant lam 'em, Sairey, and wan ye're married, instead o' nussing yer children set all day wi' one o' owd Tip's pups in jcr arms. But,' I ses, " luke there in that carriage—there be some ladies a-nussin' o' children.'

'Doant be stoopid, Giles,' she sea, " them be on'y nussmaids out for a airing. Vow doant think a raal lady would be so wulgar as to nuss a child, dv ye P' ' I should a thought,' I ses, ', 'twas more wulgar to nuss a dawg. But, Sairey,' I ses, ' yow must go hoam along 'o me, or yow'll be gitting the ways and manners o' them nasty dressed-up creturs,' I ses, 'for I cant call 'em norn else."

We got up and walked on a littlo fudder, and there were more and more carriages, ' till 'they was so thick they could hardly move, and in some on 'em there were brazien creeters a wink ing at gentlemen till I thowt Sairey owtn't to be there any longer. So we kept a walking straight along till we come out at a great gate, and right afore us there was a big arch, and on the top of it a man with a cocked hat and a long nose settin' on]the ugliest hoss I ever seed in my life, ' Well' I ses, * Sairey mor', I 'a sin enough for one day; let's go to my lodgings, for I'm tired, and weant to go bed.' Arter about half-a-hour's walk we got there, and naation glad I was to be shown into a nice little rume where there was a nice little bed, wi' shaats so nice and claan that I was a'most afraad to touch 'em

' Well, Giles,' Sairey ges, ' housekeeper i» very gude ; I'm to her a holiday every day as long as yow stop in London, and I shall come in to-morrer mornin' and we'll be off to sen some of the sights.' I give her a hearty smack, and away she weant. I |set down and begun to think about n*y money and then about Sairey, and at hnst I ses, ' Back along o' me she shall go ; "or this aant a fit plaace for she.1 Arter awhile I pops out the light and jumps intobed. I was so tired like that I was sum faast aslap. But bum-by I woke up Haling as if I was slaapin' on a bed o1 aaits. ' Wotever is the matter ?' I ses, a scravhin' and scrub bin' my arms and legs, anu a rubbin' my face wi' boath my fists. It ÜB t be the chaange o' air,' I ses, ' that av )row j ; ou fc these bumps all over my body. Hurely,' I ses, ' taint the small-pox as !„ g O^ J and I began to faal kinder frighted, ' I'll get a light,' I ses, ' and see wot'i.^ *natter wi' me,1 I struck off a maif^ i EOLS^gbted &■• candle, and by goms the 4 j *l?>they t^W thousands on em—running! about like the rats wan we pulled down maasters dd staack laast spring. ' Well,' [ ses, ' this is Lunnen—-ihaaves by day, ad these 'ere things by night. I doant ge into that bed any more if I knows on t,' I ses.

So I gotmy coat, wropped it about me, and set dwn ia a great arm chair. I puts out tb light agin, and ses to myself, •If 'twont uddin', 't must froize, that's all.' I wasso tired that I was off to slaap in about haf a second. How long I slapt I dunno', ut I woke up agin and was tormented us'n ever. I sune got a light and there Uy was, all over my shirt and coat, and I howt I should 'a gone mad. How I go fc brow that night I dunno to this day. Tan Sairey come in the morn ing she helaip her hands, and she ses,

, Why, Giles, wot 'a you been a crying all night about that money ?' I never see such a figger,' she ses ; " why, yer eyes be swelled till ye be naarly blind.' 'I tell-'ee wot, Sairey,'l sesj'l can't stand this no longer. I 'dv luv ye naation well, mor, and if yow'll go straight back along 'o me we'll be married out o' hand. Hsre I oant stop. Wot with the poor devils wot steal yer money, and them dressed-up creturs wi' their pink pairsols and their dawgs, and them blud-sucking tormenting insects they 'a got upstairs, Lunnen's tv much for me, and I'll go back to Norfolk.'

Provisional Directors : Mr Thomas Williams Mr Joseph Williams Capt. Hugh Anderson Capt. H. Klllott Bankers : Bank of New Zealand. Solicitors : Messrs Whitaker and Russell. Secretary (pro tern): M. T. Clayton. This Company is being formed for the purpose of purchasing and fitting out two or more vessels to en gage in I the Pearl Fishery and collecting other articles in Torres Straits and elsewhere. This Fishery has within the last few months become exceedingly lucra tive, and several gentlemen in Australia have made large sums of money by sending small vessels to the North Coast of Australia to procure the Mother-of- Pearl Shell, which has been sold in Sydney at £200 per ton. If, however, even €00 per ton be realised for the Shell, and the Pearls collected from the Shell be sold separately, it will pay exceedingly well. The vessels and outfit will be insured, to protect the Company against any unforseen accident, and the promoters have every hope of a successful voyage. The crew will work on lays, as on the whaling vessels, to secure the utmost exertion on their part to produce success. The expedition will be in charge of a trust worthy Master Mariner connected with this port, and a well-known gentleman acquainted with the language of the natives and the coast will accompany the expedition, and act as supercargo to take charge of all goods for the purpose of trading, and also will take a strict account of everything collected during the voyage.
