WELLINGTON.

This day.

The Times, after reviewing the circum stances of the late wrecks at Wellington, urges the necessity of a tug service. It says Wellington is the only important port in Australasia at which in the early days of its shipping the Government did. not either' wholly or partially provide for a tug service. The Opera Company.have been very suc cessful. The last two nights were very inclement, yet good houses rewarded their efforts.

Owing to fhe roHgh and thick weather the Albion, which left Lyttelton on Wednesday, only arrived this morning. Mr O'Shea reports : Flour, Oamaru, £13, to £13 3s 6d, Canterbury £12, to £12 10s; wheai, 3s 9d ; chick oats, 4s £d to 4a 7d ; pollard, 7s 6d ; %an.

THE PAST.

I was not angry then, nor did I chide When ha sat down upon the cold grey stone, And with a look of scorn and suUen pride Bade me go on upon my way alone. I had but spoken oHe short idle word y I meant no iusuU, nor intended slight; His wUd heart rose, as when a startled bira Plum°s hia swift wing forsharp and sudden flight. I left him there with clouded gloomy brow, Petulant, angry, by the ROltlen sea : The sky was glad above, the earth below. The evening sun was setting peacefully, He knew full well I would not hurt his pride, : That my heart bled when his revived a wound ; I knew for me he would have gladly died; . • Alall what.discord now from strings once sweetly tuned.

I turned again and spoke, but suller' stM He answered with a look-no word he said ; . My cheek flushed red, although my hearty was chill, And I passed on amid the evening shade. Th« swiftlveliding vesr* encompass me; a gns welcom ß voice,nc.more ; But stiU his Ufto in mempryi "S^ 4 * see ' JAB last I Saw it on that sullen shore.
