mama left me (besides money in the' funds) the whole of her jewellery,'and amongst it a superb diamond and" pearl necklace, but prohibited my wearing it until the day I attained my majority. One day when I was secretly trying it on I had the mishap to dislodge two seed pearls. Of course I dared not tell papa, for it would have vexed him to have found that I could not resist the temptation of meddling with them until I could legally do so ; and happening to mention the circumstance in my letter | to Charles, the dear, generous boy, en- j lively oblivious of his own serious loss, j actually requested me to send the neck- ' lace to him and he would get Messrs I Lewis and Son, jewellers, of Auckland, to replace them, and return it back to me safe and sound ! So delighted was I to find him so devoid of all selfish j consideration that I shewed Aunt Ruth i that portion of his letter, and she ex-! pressed the utmost gratification at my not having sent it (doubtless thinking, as I did, that it would be cruel to aSow him to incur any expenses on my ac count in his present straitened circum stances). Aunty has had the damage repaired herself, and, I suppose, to guard against a repetition of the injury has locked it up with the other jewels in her drawer. Some one has written to papa from Auckland about Charlie that has annoyed him very much; From! what I can glean, he has been unmerci-i fully "plucked;" why that should: affect papa I cannot tell, for we all knew that long ago; it was when at- Oxford. I remember it well; papa received a telegram that he had been | " plucked for his little go," so that' cannot he any very great offence even if ife has happened again ; but papa's informant tells him that Charles has now turned "hawk" (which, I suppose, is the colonial way of saying hawker), and taken to pigeon plucking. Well, poor dear boy, what is he to do ? He cannot live on the air, and surely he ought rather to be commended for plucking pigeons and hawking them abput for sale (humble as the calling is,) than leading a life of idleness. Papa's, correspondent says he saw Charles take at least a dozen stone-fences one morn ing, and cries shame upon him for so doing. Why should he cry shame upon him, for performing a feat of horsemanship in Auckland which in England has won him applause, even from papa himself? I knew he had not given up sporting, for he wrote me that now and then he dropped into " Tatter salL's," and often went to see a Hunter in Durham-street. But, oh I dearest Jessy, the vile wretch who has been writing to papa about poor Charles, told such a very dreadful fib about him ! The falsehood was so palpable, that I really fear papa's intellect is somewhat deranged, or he would have detected it as soon as I did. Would you believe it? He said he met Charlie going to his Cousin's in Hobson-street, : arm-in-arm with whom do you think, j of. all breathing creatures beneath the i sun, a mermaid ! Why, poor boy, he ■ has no relation, near or far, in all New J Zealand, and as for there being such a ! thing in existence as a Mermaid, I trust j my education has not been so far thrown, away Upon me as to believe! that. Charles described a fox hunt he j made one of at a place called Howick. It appears the colonial foxes, although shrewder than our English ones, are inferior in size, and the " brush " very ( diminutive. Charles described his being" pikaue'd); up a hill and over a stream by some Maoris when he came to Auokland first—(that, I believe, is the native mode of conveyance a la jpalanqidn). It must be a delightful mode of travelling, reclining on a Maori mat. How much I should have enjoyed the locomotion myself. Charles bitterly complains of the obtuseness of the Auckland people in not apprecia ting his talents, but as he hates idleness, I •when he is dull he assiduously culti-1 Tates his farm at " Yankee grab," that's farm, love, I wrote you about, he liadl obtained from Fred Gooseman. His^ letter, as usual, dearest Jessy, is inter-1 »persed with sacred interludes. - Ah, £ me ! would that I could look into the I depths of time. A thousand kisses, ] darling, from your loving friend, Lktty Eorbisher. I

f HOCKING CASUALTY TO A FAST AJSTD IKTELLI

GENT COMPOSITOR —BETJLTB OF BAD PEN- i: 3HANSHIP.

(From the Detroit Free l>ress.) , The other day a compositor in thia office; got hold of a parb of a page of the chiro- "■ graphy of G. M. D. BIO3S, of the Cincinnati 1 "Enquirer." It isn't writing at all, buti Bloss seems to kick the ink bottle at a sheet! of paper, and then send the paper down to the compositors as editorial. This part of a page was used as the foundation of a plot to deliberately destroy a human life. A line or two was written above it, Bloss' page marked " solid," and it was handed to°a " jour" who had just struck the office. He claimed to be " lightning" on the "set,"aDd on reading manuscript, and he set up the in troductory line like, a whirlwind. When he came down to Bloas he grabbed for a cap "A,"held it for a second and then drove into the «V" box Then he threw that back and picked out a dollar mark, and the typo paused, Bpat on his hands and rested one foot on the cross-bar of his rack After a moment he grabbed a <m," but slowly replaced it, and toyed, with an italic " Z." Then he spat on his hands some mO re, cor rugated his brow, and hauled the manuscript under his eyes. It was no go. H e held the page'further off, close to his nose, slant ing to the right, and square before the win dow, but he could'nt start it, and he knew ,iv his soul tbat no other human compositor outside the " Enquirer"' could do it. As afternoon faded into twilight he laid the page -aside, eet up two or three lines out of his head, and then slipped into his coat, said feed got to go to the depot to see a friend,

and bo was gone. Li his stick he bad. set up the words: "Tell my mother that I will meet her on the other shore.'' He probably will. He was eeen at the foot of Griswolci street, hoard to ask if death, by drowning wasn't easier than, hanging, and it is piobable that his marble fuim now lies at the bottom of the cold green river, while Bloss is a murderer. ~, . ■ -..«• . t ' ■ "''!.!■ ■ l^iWf'M SWTML \'V','■'■■■■' ;: !;,■■' "'Xi:-•'-':..-:i ■■■•;',;■ j <;''• -j.

',1 j CHASED BY A SHARK. 'In the year 1863, whilst stationed at New Plymouth, I, Ned Smyth, and,a comrade, Bill ' Jones, were strolling on the beach, enjoying a day's leave. Being both adventurous swimmers, I proposed to Bill a swim in the surf. He consented, nothing loth, and we agreed to race for a pot of beer—the man who first passed the outermost breaker to be the wianer. As the rollers were high that day, we had to dive each one in succession before it broke for fear of being carried out by the undertow and drowned by the suc ceeding one. I was a little in advance of my comrade, and had just dived the last breaker (thus winning the wager), when, horrible to relate, I saw an immense shark coming for us full speed! Calling out to Bill, who had just emerged from the wave, to throw himself on his back and beat the water with his hands and feet. I did so myself, and we made for shore as j fast as we could, the waves aiding our exer tions. It was truly a race for life. On came the shark, who had paused for a short time frightened by our splashing, and jusb as we landed in shallow water and took to our heels, he came up, and I distinctly heard i his teeth snap close to me. We were saved ' but by a hair's breadth, for we had hardly

I reached our clothes wben we fell down i utterly exhausted. When we recovered, ! --on may imagine we did not fail to return '■ thanks' to Almighty God for rescuing us fiom so terrible an enemy. jMata Kite.

BITS OF FUN

) Two tom cats met by chance in Spilkins' l back janHhe other night. "They lit and tli: y fit," says Spilkins, " and the one that fit the best came out alive, and that's what I call the ' Survival of the Fitist.' " A lodging-house fiend tells the story that, ill a recent thunder-storm, the warring of the elements was so awe-inspiring tha the hair in a dish of butter in the pantry turned co*m pletely -vvftitu during the night. He v ho, whether in prosperity or ad ;ve!sity. always maintains the same calm, . inflexible exterior, exerts an immeasurable influence for good upon the fretful, feverish passions of human nature about him. A showman whose notices called for a few 1 fat boya to " feed his cannibals," received a • card from a man saying that he couldn't ; spare his boys, but he had a good " stall-fed mother-in-law." that he thought would suit. Tiio St. Louis " Christian Advocate " has no ear for music, and complains that a .;church choir is sacreligious when the line, , " We are going home to die no more," is rendered, '"We are going home to Dinah ;More, to Dinah More, to Dinah More." "Well, how are you getting along?" in- Iquired a, country landlord, one rainy morn ing, of a guest whom lie had put in a top ! floor room, under a leaky roof, " Oh, swim ' mingly," was the reply. A smart young lady'r(bnt she will play j parde) wrote a note to a nice young man the other day thus: " Come and play youcur ; this evening " She meant euchre, but the I but the simple-minded youth "got mad' About it. ', A wicklow man's ghost appeared to his ;'yiilovr. i! I'm in purgatory at this present," ■ says hi;. "An'wliat sort of a place is it V" '/Says she. " J'aix," says he, " 'tis a sort of halt-way house between you and heaven, an' I I stand it mighty aisy afther lavin" you.'' A lady was recently engaging a h^w cook, :, and had apparently settled details satisfac torily, when the domestic inquired, "How many other servants do you keep ma am ? '■Two,'' was the reply." "Oh, then your j place won't suit me, ma'am, as 1 alv.ays like , a game of whist of an evening, and i don't ' like playing ' dummy.' "

THE OLD SONG.

A little feast, a little fast, A iitUe hour of play ; A little caught, a little caste, So runs the world away ?

A little maid, a little yes, A little wish 'twas " r.iiy ;" A little weeping in the niyht, So runs the world away !

A little wind, a little snow, A little time to stay; A little thought of former years — So mns the world away !
