For the cnuse that lucks assistance, I'or the wrong t* ut uewls re.-iatajiae, far the future in the distance.. And the Kood that we can do.

Thkrkis trouble among the judges. A few weeks ago they were all sobbing in contem plation of the approaching severance of the ties of affection necessitated by their all shifting place 3. Now there la a whispering and confusion among the judicial corps that omens something amiss. The fact is it wont go, and they can't make it go. Tt appears every thing was dependent on our respected Chief Justice making room, and Sir George doesn't see why he should make room. Mr Pendergaßt, following the example of the "judges,, sobbed too, bidding fare well t,o the} bar prior to stepping into the ihoes of the Chief .Justice, but His Honor does not see fit to put them off, and this is the bother. All the judges in their corners look at one another ready fora rnn when the signal is given, and our Mr Gillies ia watching his chance to pop into a vacant place. |It is all the world like the old country game called..." Tom, fool in the. middle." All the ■ players took posi tion in the corners of the room, but one who stood in the middle turn ing' round and. round, ' and singing, " Tom foblin the middle looking for a place; Tom fool in*the middle looking for a place." And then suddenly the corners all exchanged, and it was Tom's place to catch a vacant corner if he can. The game used to baa very exciting one, and we have no' doubt it is exciting to the judges, though a little tantaliz ing. Oar Wellington telegram to-day tells us on " good ' authority " Sir "George* Arney does:1 not resign his Chief Justiceship for another twelve months. Goodness gracious 1 whatever will ba done ! Not that we desire to see our respected Chief Justice gone ; for ha. is not only an honor to the Bench, bat for 'his urbanity as well as strict impartiality, he is i esteemed beyond what usually falls to the lot of the high priest of inexorable Justice. But oh dear, oh dear, how he stops the game ? Mr Pendergast can't take Wellington, and Mr. Johnston can't go to Canterbury, and Mr. G reason cau't go to Nehwi, and Mr. Richmond can't go home, just all j the world, like the old woman's pig thuat would'nt go over the stile. And we can easily imagine the Nelson Judge as he sighs for the, trip to 'England, and sadly bewails the position, saying something in the spirit of "Butcher won't kill bull, bull wpn't. drink water, water won't quench me, fire won't burn stick, stick won't beat dogj dog wont bite pift pig won't go over the stile, and I'll not get home-to-night."-' We await the farther evolutipa of the compli cation.

The Armed Constabulary hare come well to ' the front in the tir federal proceeding at the Thames, and it would ill become oar Yolun- j tears or their admirers and friends to express ' the slightest ? jealousy. , "W© find from • 1 late telegrams from our Special at- Fiarawai, J that some little feeling of the kind has been t indulged ; but when the professional fore \

began to start ahead, it was not' unnatural that a little annoyance should be felt: where excitement clearly runs so high. But even if the Constabulary had at the end held the position for which they seemed for a little to be among the first favourites, we do not hesitate to say that the Volunteers, on reflection and in cooler moments, would have said, Well done. For there are not the smallest grounds of reason in objecting to the Armed Constabulary competing with the Volunteers of the colony on the score of their being possessed of special and unequal advantages in preparing for the competition. It ia true that arms is fcheir profession; but mere drill, unless in so far as that embraces actual shooting, can have very little effect when they come to stand before the targets. In the fir«t place our Armed Constabulary are, to a great extent, engaged in road-making and kindred pursuits of an Unwarlike kind, and we venture to say that with this and the routine of ordinary duty, they bftve as little leisure time as the average of Volunteers fur the practice of Bharp shooting. Again, while the Volunteers have each a hundred rounds of ammunition annually served out at the Government, expense, the Armed Constabulary have only ninety ; and should the Constabulary desire a larger quantity for practising, it is supplied to them at the cost of 10s 6d per hundred rounds, while the Volunteers are provided with the same amount at 6s Bd. But these are not the ouly points of difference, for the Armed Constabulary have to do their prac ticing with the Sneider ride all the year round, and tl<ea must compete with EnGeldsJ placed in their hands but a few days before the match. It will be seen therefore that the Armed Constabulary are firing under no,particular advantages by the side of our citizen soldiers; and in the cir cumstances even had they taken the very foremost place, with the very best and most cordial sentiments for our Volunteers we should say, all honor to the Armed Con stabulary.

The Eegatta yesterday was a great success looked at as regards the number of entries, the closeness of the different races, and the qualit}' of the craft which contended. But looking at the multitude qf objections, and also at the indifferent starting, it would be well for the Committee to think whether some altera ion is not necessary in the rules and management to secure against sin>iltir accidents next year It is by experience that wisdom is gaiued, and the be*t use that can be made of misfortunes is to make them as it were lighthouses, to warn vi from rocks ahead in the future. If our friend 3 the committee will not resent the in trusion, we will mention one or two lessons which are to be learnt from the experience of yesterday. In the first pjace care should be taken that the flagship is nioored in the proper position, with plenty of room between it and the wharf for '.he starting vessels to marshal themselves without interfering with one an other. List year a complaint was made, if we recollect iig/it, that this wa3 not attended to, and fhis year it leads to an ob jection in the case of the smaller cutter race. The resulb of the yacht race for vessels over 9 tons raises teveral points. The mistake made by the Spray teaches that in future if any alteration is made iv the published coarse, the new course sboald be written out, and a copy placed on board each competing vessel. In-the, present instance we believe the fresh course was not put in writing at all. The manifest superiority of the Secret and Daphne in heavy weather would indicate that it would he more satisfactory to have a fresh -classification next year. Results at present prove that in light weather the smaller yachts have all the best of it, and iv heavy weather no chance at all. In either case the issue is no criterion for test iDg the relative excellence of the vessels. Perhaps by next Regatta day we shall have Darrach or Sims and Brown building "something to beat the Secret," and then there will be plenty of sport in a race confined to the larger craft. By the way we see no rule which reserves to the committee power to alter a course. Should not this omission be supplied ? And we would suggest that some proviso might appear to the effect that the committee can declare a race finished before the full course is gone over if they deem it necessary. This is a very common practice among the yacht clubs in England in cases where the wind falln light, and prevents vessels coming in within reasonable time Ttiis brings us to the great ' disappointment c used by the Albatross and Peerless not coming together in the schooner race. Without venturing an opinion as to the merits of the dispute, we are inclined to think that the committee were ill-advised in making such an important rule as that which Mr Harris object to only a week or two before the regatta. At. the same time it would have looked more sportsmanlike in Mr Harris, seeing that he had the the Lyttelton prize in hand to have put down his entrance money and made hia protest at the same time. Ie was appar ent from yesterday's race that it is as much as a vessel can do in a moderate breeze if there is any beatirjg at all to get round Tiri Tiri and back by 8 p.m. Another matter upon which we have something to say is sug gested by the alteration of the courses yes terday. It would give more satisfaction if the races wero kept inside the harbour. Let the schooners go out: if it is necessary to test them in the open, but for all other craft there is as good a course between Kauri Point and Brown's Island as can be desired, and then every body can see what is going on. There is a difference of opinion it is said as to some of the yachts' measurement. This should not be. It seems to us as important for a yacht to declare her correct tonnage according to Bcajfi in vogue, as it is for a horse to carry hiJ^fciper weight in a, race. In one of the raceTjoeterday, no one up to this morning knew^which boat had won, owing to a doubt circulated on this subject. And lastly just one word about " fair-play men." Yachts men all over the world should be gentlemen. Surely such precautions against cheating are not necessary. ■".-•-'" We had felt gratified in our contemporary the Cross refraining from using our.special telegrams daring the past few weeks, and had' hoped for its continuance. But we regret that we are obliged to call onr contem porary to order, for reverting to the old habit of filching. In this morning's Cross two valuable shipping telegrams from our special correspondent at Lytteltoa, published by us yesterday, are appropriated in their entirety, word for word, by the Cross, with out the slightest acknowledgment. If our contemporary is nnable to pay for special correspondents —andin present circumstances we understand this cannot very well ba afforded—he might as well be honest, and keep hia fingers from picking and stealing. " Poor but honest "has never been regarded ac opprobrious, and if the second character is sustained, it will afford us much pleasure to make allowance for the former, and assist our contemporary by items of special information if he will., but say "by your leave," or "thankyou.", We trust that onr. contem porary will in Monday's issue explain that it was by an oversight, or in some similar way that these special telegrams were appro priated, in which case we shall say nothing nore on the subject. If not, we shall be )blrged to make more pointed reference, in >rder to check the recurrence of a habit Thick wu formerly so commonly practised. '

:We learn to-day that the schooner Daunt* less has been returned to her owner, Mr. Conroy, by the Customs authorities. Mr Conroy had to pay a penalty of £100. Why on earth this fine ? If the owner is impli cated in the offence, the vessel 'should be forfeited. If he in not, why punish him ? It will be seen from another column the annual general meeting of the Auckland and North Shore Steam Ferry Company takes place on Monday at the Company's office, at 3 o'clock. We have much pleasure in giving inser tion to the following respecting the Temper ance Conference:—"To the Editor of the Evkning Stab, : Sir,—ln your editorial article of Thursday last relative to the Temperance Conference you observe as follows :—' The Temperance Conference of yesterday Was, as we anticipated, a failure. But a small number of the Good Templar order attended which we had not expected.' In reference to the last portion of the quota tion, 1 beg to state that the meeting as far as the order was concerned was merely of a representative character in which each of the local Lodges was represented by selected deputies, the latter being the four principal officers of each Lodge. Had it been an open meeting the members of the order would probably have attended in as large a number as they did at the Choral Hall last night.—lam, etc., L.D., 1.0.G T." We observe that the Rev. G. Brown, of Samoa, will deliver a second lecture in Pitt street Church on Tuesday evening next. It was not Mr Brown's intention to have come again before an Auckland audience, having arranged to leave per Mikado for Sydney. As it will, however, be impossible for him to get away by this vessel, he has yielded to urgent, solicitation, and will lecture, as announced in our advertising columns. Several new and interesting topics will be treated of, on which there was no time to enlarge on the last occasion such, for ex ample, as the social customs of the Samoans with amusing illustrative anecdotes ; remarks upon the inventive and mechanical genius of the natives, as shewn in the specimens to be exhibited, etc. The lecturer wiil'also state what has come within his knowledge about New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland, and contiguous groups. This portion of the lec ture, we have no doubt, will be sufficiently interesting to deserve a crowded audience. Those who had the pleasure of hearing Mr Brown last week will not require to be told what a genuine treat is in store for them, but we would remind any who were absent then, that Tuesday evening will be the last occasion on which they will have the oppor tunity of listening to a recital more than than usually interesting and thrilling. There is to be no charge for admission, but a collec tion will be made at the close of the lecture in aid of the proposed new mission to New Guinea. The s.s. Lady Bird has been detained until after the arrival at Onehunga of the two o'clock train from Auckland. In spite of the bad weather last evening the energetic youths of Newmarket seemed deturmined on having sport to the last, in no wise satiated with the day's pleasure. Races of different kinds were improvised, using as a course the main street. And as is usual in such cases, the fastest runner won the race. A flourishing baker was so pleased with the sport he dispensed lemonade gratui tously among the competitors. A brace of monster cucumbers may be seen in the shop of Mr Robert Brewin, seedsman, of Queen-street, known as the "Rifleman" cucumber. They weigh two and a half pounds each, measure two feet in length, and were grown by Mason Brothers, in their Ponsonby Gardens. The market to-day presents a very lively appearance, fruits and vegetables being there in abundance. The butchers' stalls were loaded with prime beef and mutton at the usual prices, and the fruiterers were teeming with every sort of vegetable : potatoes, 16 lb for Is; rhubarb, 4d per bundle, a large supply of cabbage from Id to 2d ; cucum bers, 2d, and every kind ef vegetable at proportionate prices, such as turnip, carrot, parsnip, pea, and bean. Mr Houlton has a variety of seed prize potatoes, which are worthy of public inspection. Fresh butter •md eggs are threepence higher than on the previous week. Mr. Brown, of the Sydney Fruit Depot, informs us that he is determined as much as possible, to be a vendor of Auckland-grown fruit only. He is now in constant receipt of magnificent fruit from Mr. Jones, of Muddy Creek, and in particular peas, which he is selling as cheaply as imported produce of the same kind. Those who are curious may see the same in his window. The average weight is from 1 lb. to 2\ lb. ' The Panmure racea came off yesterday, and afforded a very good day's sport. The Panmure Handicap, of 10 soys., was won by Mr Robert's Daybreak, Mr Dunbridge's skylark second, Mr O. McGee's Mabel third, and Mr Halstead's Mabel fourth. The foot races were well contested. The refreshing showsrs of the last two days have had a genial influence upon the gardens ef suburban reaidenta, and caused the vegetable world to glow in the interme diate sunshine. The children have been sadly disappointed in their holiday excursions out and about, but the hearts of the elder citizens have been made glad and joyous in the prospect of an abundance of beans and vegetables for the family table. A correspondent, "Vulcan," asks us a question, which we can hardly reply to. He says:—"Can you inform me whether it is in accordance with the principles of Good Templary for the delegates or members of the late conference to put up at an hotel during their stay in Auckland, for I know some who have ?" [To put up at an hotel is undoubtedly to give support to the drinking institutions of tae country, which we take to be a violation of the Good Templar oath. Perhaps some Templar can tell us whether it is so?— Ed. 8.8.J The following is the balance-sheet of the Mrs. Noyer entertainment: —Gross amount, £43 10*. Expenses : Musicians, £4 10s; hire of piano,. £1 ; Echo, advertising, £1; refreshments, 10a. ; Cross, advertising, 35.; Herald, advertising. 38. ; printing, £2 10s. ; fitting ef hall, £1 ; incidental expenses, 10a.

Mahoney, Secretary. ; The committee of the North Shore District School having obtained a grant of £40 from the Board of Education for the enlargement of the schoolroom, are about to add twelve feet to the building. In order to make the school-room thoroughly comfortable for boys and girls during the winter the com mittee have also determiued to have it lined throughout. While these alterations are being carried out the school will be conducted in the Trinity Church school-room, which has been kindly granted for the purpose. The children resumes their tudies oil Monday next in the place mentioned. Why did the yacht Good Templar lose the race yesterday ? —Because the course was round the Drunken B(u)oy ! At the Whau yesterday, thVGood Tem plars of the Excelsior Lodge had a picnic in Mr Buchanan's grounds, and spent a pleasant day. The fancy bazaar, the goods in which were contributed by the lady assist ants at the asylum > and Misses Smith, White^ Owen, and various other ladies in the dis trict, was well patronised. They consisted of wool-work, dolls, flower-stands (leather), &o. The table was presided over by Mes dames Owen And Bell. i " Sad thing to lose a wife," said a friend to a Vermonter, who stood at the grave of his wife. "Well, tolerably sad, '" replied the mourner " but then, her|clothe» just fit my eldest girl. "—Detroit Fret Frett. '

" Sanitary" writesthuß:-" Sir,—A great deal has been said and written about smells arising from the intake and different places in the outskirts of the city. I would like to call the attention of the Inspector of Nuisances or the superintendent of the police, to the existing and disgusting habit of people offend ing against decency in the lower part of Dur ham-street. I have called the attention of different members of the police to the fact, but, instead of their trying to put a stop to it, I find on opening my door to get out (one evening this week) aspryconstablecommittiog the offence. 1 think the policeshould be the very last to set people the example, and 1 think such a man should be dismissed from the force. He was very insolent, and would not give me his' name, and, on making en quiries, I found he was shielded by different members of the fore c; and it was only through the courtesy of Mr Brohain I was able the find his name. I think every mem ber of the force should wear his number in a conspicuous place, so tbafc if he was found breaking the laws, for which he is paid by the citizens to see kept, his name could be got without being subjected to annoyance and insult." We are pleased to learn that a taam of cricketers are aoaut to visit the pretty little township of Wangarei. From all accounts the Auckland men Mill have their work cut out to face the reputed superior bowling of the Wangarei men, but we doubt not that under the able generalship of that enthusias tic cricketsr W. L. Bees, our home men will render good account of themselves. The team is nearly made up, and nearly all the preliminaries settled, so that there is little fear of the game falling through. The Auckland men are to leave according to present arrangements by the Bowena on the Sfch February. The Police Court this morning presented an unusual appearance, noi a single indi vidual being in attendance as a spectator, nor a solitary drunkard in the passige awaiting his familiar sentence of ten shillings and costs, or a temporary sojourn of twenty-four hours in the breezy glades of E len. The trio ef representative reporters of various gait and proportions, namely, the stout man in the corner, the tall pale youth of promise, and the saucy lad with the curly head were there, d\ily prepared to chronicle the failings and mistakes of their fellow creatures. The Clerk of the Court with his merry eye, held forth vvich his two hand 3 the charge-sheet with the word nil, so ominous to creditors, but so pleasing to honest folk, largely inscribed across tha otherwise fair unblotted sheet, in the clerks roman haad. His Woiship took his seat, "silence in the Court" was uttered by the constable but there were none to hear the official voice save the trio of reporters and a few lingering officials. His Worship ex pressed liis pleasure ab the appearance of things which looked hopeful after a rainy holiday, and shortly afterwards retired to pass the remainder of the day in peace. At this season of the year when the heat is frequently very oppressive, and the human system would appear to be more sus ceptible of contageous diseases to which " flesh is heir to," it becomes a duty devol ving upon every member of the community to use his or her personal influence towards removing any offensive matter that may be prejudicial to the public health. We are aware that the Inspector of Nuisances is most indefatigable in his duties, but it is too much to expect that he can fix his vigilant eye on every unclean spot in the city. There are persons who own small houses in certain not over-clean locali ties who care for nothing beyond their selfish ends. If they can get their rents, it matters little to them whether the inmates of un healthy abodes live or die. If summoned they complain of being made responsible for the carelessness of dirty tenants, and try to shift the responsibility from their own shoul ders. The fine usually is nominal, which they pay, with Borne reluctance, and-pursue their heedless career. Wherever an unplea sant odour is felt, the sense of smell suggests to reason that danger is near, and if the nuisance is not removed the health of the near resident must suffer to a greater or less extent. The Rev ST. J. Neill, who recently arrived by the Glenora, will ofiiciate in the North Shore Presbyterian Church to-morrow morn ing and evening. A rather peculiar application (says the Pall Mall Gazette) was made the other day at York. At the City Breirster Sessions, a Mr Lawson applied for a license for a public house on the express ground of its close proximity to the cemetery. "There was, it'was stated, "at present no place for persons to go to for a stimulant when depressed by grief at the gravesides of their friends." The request was, oddly enough, supported by the chaplain of the cemetery, and on better grounds perhaps, and even more earnestly by the lodgekeeper. The latter, indeed, seemed to have urged it as a personal favor to himself. "At present," he said, " these depressed persons came to his lodge, and he had to give them his own brandy, for he would be fined if he sold it to them." The magistrates, however, were hard-hearted enough to refuse the application. It seems hard indeed that thia generous and tender hearted lodge-keeper should continue to have his little private store of brandy, so cruelly drawn upon by these depressed creatures, es pecially as it may not occur to them, after their depression has passed away, to make up to him in kind." A Scotch breach of promise action has just been privately settled.. Agnes Crawford, a farmer's daughter in Lanarkshire, sued William Turnbull, farmer, Glasgow, for £3000 for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff stated that the defendant had courted her for sixteen years, and the defen dant alleged that he ceased to visit plaintiff because he heard she was to be married to another gentleman. Id was stated that de fendant was worth £16,000. When the counsel appeared before Lord Gifford, inti mation was made that the plaintiff had agreed to accept £830 from the defendant as solatium for her injured feelings. -We are "requested to state by those in charge of the Sabbath schools yesterday that the railway officials were moat unremitting in the careful attention to the children during the several excursion trips, Mr Stewart him self travelling in each train, that he might be there at a moment's notice in case ef any thing being wanting. The ladies of New York, U.S., have earned the admiration of the sterner sex. The opening of the opera season there was signalized not so much by the triumphs of the singers, or the splendid appearance of the theatre, as by the singular sight of the female portion of the audience present. Every female head appeared shorn of chignon, rat, friz, and many other nameless similar con trivances. The ' Graphic' says, and we can well believe it, the sight was exhilirating.; heads were quietly and chastely glorified in natural hair alone, simplex munditnti. A flower, perhapß, and a ribbon here and there; bat the simple grace of flowing or plaited locks. Husbands rejoice at the change, however barbers and dealers in human hair deplore it.

As will be seen by the telegram* from bar special correspondent at the Co'onial firing the competition for the Champion Belt has been the keenest and closest ever kao ,wn. A correspondent writes thus :—" Sir, — It was notified in the papers that a Good Templar Soiree was to beheld on Friday at the Choral Hall to, bid farewell to Brother Hastings, also that an admission fee of one shilling would be charged to those who did not come to tea, and for which they would receive not only a deeply moving address from Brother Hastings, wbieh they had, but vocal and instrumental music, which they had not, unless the Templars Battle cry by Charles Spragg, the elder, assisted by the brass band could be so called.

FRESH POTATOES FOR IMMIGRANTS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) 3 IR) —The Mr James Simpson, Richmond, who came from London in the Dilharee and bsforethe public of Auckland in tha Evening Star, of 28th inst., is not surprised to hear, it appears, Of the surplus of tresh potatoes landed from that ship, and accounts for his stoicism by saying that these commodities wen nob served out alternately with pre serve;! potatoes ; but, as near as he can remember, " four times during the voyage." Allow me, sir, in the first place, to state that it was never intended that fresh potatoes should be served out " alter nately," about a dozen barrels only having been put on board altogether, to be served out at the discretion and option of the store keeper. This was done, and when it was found that only a few barrels were left, these were reserved exclusively for the sick, whom Mr Simpson cousiders a "favoured" ftw. Besides, sir, Mr Simson ought to know that provisions were put on board, computed for five months, and that, if the voyage were completed ia three months and a-haif, there ought of necessity be a surplus ia every article. * Mr Stimpson admits that " women for wine and stout" was a frequent or daily cry, whilst "captains of messes for fresh potatoes" was vary rare. Surely, sir, the age of chivalry i 3 passed when men complain of necessary nourishment being adminstered to their wives, who ' bear the burden and heat of the day,' and to whom a voyage to New Zealand, owing to the various duties imposed on them, savours more of,reality and the practical than the day-dreams of their too often lazy husbands, whose sole employment; seems to consists in many instances of lounging around the^decks, or squatted Turk-like smoking their pipes the whole day long. I presume, from some of Mr Simpson's remarks, he is a Scotchman. What would his illustrious countryman say if he could get a glimpse of his letter of the 28th.— " Breathes there a man with soul so dead " Yours, etc., Plain Facts.

PEPYS IN AUCKLAND.

. Thursday 28th. Up »nd in haalth again. The miming bright and warm, and the signs of rain which have been plentiful of late all. vanished. After breakfast for a drive through Newmarket to Onehuoga; Mrs Pepys sitting by my side and asking me continually if I felt any draught, for that I was a fool not to say so if I did. My feet in woollen slippers aud my body much too warm in a sealskin vest and two overcoat*, but Mrs P. declares she will not be meddled with in her treatment, for that she hath got me through so far, and. she will complete her cure ; and verily if this sweating do long continue, it will be for certain—kill or cure. Going through Newmarket do smell a fearful stench, and on inquiry of the toll-man, find that it proceedeth from the Slaughter-house where all the beasts are killed for the meats market of Auckland ; and which standeth not far from the road and close to. the houses of the inhabitants of the village. And this I am verily astonished at, it being a miracle to me how people could live so long with such a stink-pot under their noses, and not rebel; the grievance being'in my opinion a tenfold weightier one than the obligation to pay Education Taxes. New market surely resetnbieth the goat described by Horace aa "epbnsa olentis mariti" bride of the stinking husband, for in truth from that whi-jh I learn she is bo wedded to it that it cannot be parted from her, to the great hurt and it may be destruction of her children who are bred among its foulness. Did see the Mannkau looking very pretty and shin ing mights bright in the sun, and a steamer going away to the South fall of passengers. Home by way of Kyber Pass and the jail. Could not refrain from giving some thought to the poor wretch who awaiteth execution of his death sentence therein, and when I think thereon it cometh tomy mind how that I had not heard any thing of any Maoris being on the jury at the time of trial, which is to me singular, it being as I imagined the general rule for foreigners to have half and half. Who knoweth but that what Mr Wallis said may be true, that if the jury could have comprehended the character and guiding principle of the Maori race they would have acquitted the prisoner. But am mightily consoled to think that our juries are mostly composed of good and God-fearing men, and not of the sordid justice vendors of whom he that is called Jai S. ©nee boasted he could twist them about his digits. And so doubt not the man merits his sentence; which should be for a warning to the Maoris in the future. And this do set me a-thinkin« of crime and its prevention and punishment" and it seemeth to me. passing strange that the Government should ever support the prisons but neglect the reforma tories. Tennyson saith—-" Full seldom doth M"*]? re Pent«" and fchis metbinks is tiue of old offendera which are calloused in prison, but not of beginners in crime. My wife at this time did nudge me by the arm, whereat, 1 paying no attention, she imparteth to me a great pinching, -which doth make mei;o cry out mercy ! " Hold your peace," crieth she. lnere be a little dog of pure spaniel breed, and its master hath turned -, down yonder lane. Tell John to go fetch the dog for it is not right, that it should wander without a collar." And so seeing that the dog was a good do?, and the master gone out of sight, I did enjoin John to bring the animal, which he did to our great delight, though for myself I was mightly concerned lest any one should see us, but I think not. Sa home; the dog yelping all the way, so that more than once tempted to thro# him out.
