ALLEGED LARCENY.

The Police Court was engaged for some time to day with a charge of larceny of a silver watch against a lad named Walter James Kenealy. Mr Theo. Cooper ap peared for the prosecution. The offence was alleged to have been committed six months ago, when William Knapp, who was employed as gardener by Mr Reader Wood, left the watch in his vest pocket in the vinery. The watch was identified, and accused committed for trial. He said he would plead guilty at the Supi*eme Court, when, we may add, an endeavour will be made to have his case brought under the provisions of the First Offenders' Probation Act.

SUBURBAN POLICE STATIONS.

We understand that since his arrival in Auckland Inspector Shearman has ''nspected the various suburban police stations, and has come fco the con clusion that they are badly situated in out-of-the-way streets where their exis tence may not even be dreamt of by many of the residents in the district. He is therefore now making arrangements for tbjßir removal to more central positions in main thoroughfares of the districts in ques tion. The change should prove of very great convenience to the residents.

The tea-meeting in connection with St. John's Sunday school last evening was a great success. Mr W. Thorne pre sided at the meeting held after tea, and addresses were delivered by Revs. Chew, T. G. Carr, Gilmore and Bull, while a musical programme was well rendered. The report showed that there were- 282 children on the roll, with an average at tendance of 55 in the morning, and 209 in the afternoon.'

The Remuera Social Hall was filled to its utmost capacity last evening, the occasion being a very pleasant reunion and musical entertainment. The programme, which was of a varied character, was carried out with great spirit and success. The first part consisted of musical selections, recitations and readings') and Mrs Ching earned the hearty applause which she received. Miss Levi and Miss Puckey each contributed pianoforte solos, and Mr Baume gave a recitation, and Mr Robin an interesting reading. The enter tainment was brought to a close with the performance of Burnand and Sullivan's sparkling operetta "Boxand Cox," in which Mr E. P. Hudson appeared as the journey man hatter Cox, and Mr H. Walpole as the journeyman printer Box, while Mr A. L. Edwards appeared to great advantage in tlie role of Sergeant Bouncer. Mrs J. M. Claris kindly played the accompaniments throughout the evening with her usual good taste. The last part of the entertainment was really worth seeing, in which Mr H. Walpole and others deserve hearty praise.

A Pure Heart's Dream of Love.

Let me say a word or two about that

country church, for circumstances con nected with it had a strange influence on my future life. Ifc was a plain, unpretending building without ornament, inside or outside —standing in its graveyard, where the grass always looked fresh and preen. _ The walls were whitewashed, within and without, and no graceful carving met the eye at any point. The pews were all in a line, so narrow as to contain only one form, which could accommodate about five persons. The vicar, Mr Home, often had pupils living in his house. These young gentlemen were nearlyalways of respectable families, butoi 8 youth particularly struck my fancy;_ his air was noble, his face beautiful as an ideal vision ; his eyes soft, meditative, charming:. I am certain that this boy never once noticed myself at the little church of Weston Cricket, but his presence there, Sunday after Sunday, was fraught to me with interest, an interest, too, wholly unconnec ted with any idea of self. I never dreamed of speaking to the object of my adoration ; to think of him was enough. I invested him with marvellous attributes, and felt convinced that he would no more think of cheating Mr Home about liig lessons, or of robbing an orchard, than ho would dream of Hying. 1 think I see that rural little church as it appeared to me in those days. Mr Home, with his placid face and simple manner, preaching the sermon which I fear I never listened to ; Mrs Horn© sit ting at the head of her pew, wearing the unfailing large black bonnet and unpre tending cloak which she had worn for years ; and then my beautiful youth, look ing so distinct among his companions, so unmistakably of gentle blood. I regarded him as one might regard a work of art; he was a poetic passage to me, a glimpse into a higher sphere. Upon one memorable oc casion I dropped my Prayer-book when going out of church. My hero passed by at the time, and, though walking with a friend, he stopped and picked it up ; but ah, dear reader, he did not give it to myself—he handed it with a sweet smile and a grace ful little bow to mamma. Theaction charmed me,- and it had also an effect upon my mother. When she returned home she mentioned the occurrence to papa, observ ing that Mr Home had got a very hand some, gentlemanly pupil. " Yes," said papa, "I know the lad you mean; his name is Gore —Curzon Gore. He is of a very good family. His mother was a daughter of Lord Lugmore." Nothing more remarkable was said then, but.lhad learned enough. My charming youth was well-born and his name was Curzon Gore. . When he was about sixteen he left the vicarage, to pursue his studies elsewhere. What a blank there was to me then. When he was gone I thought of him more than ever, but never in sorrow. I had not the presum tion to fret about his departure ; but when I read a poem that carried me away be yond earth, or sat in summer evenings in the green warm fields, with the lazy hum of insects in my ear, my thoughts nearly al ways turned to the memory of that dreamy looking youth who seemed the embodiment of a beautiful idea.— Myself and My Rela tives.

Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have suifered considerably from injury to thestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly rerommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article. —Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that wo all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would, find it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from "Rev. Mr ■■ Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. —Yours faithfully, ' (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30,1887. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou d be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy Jiim but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for him, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) W. CARDER, Orphan Home, Parnell, May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meat, having used it for some time. The children all like the Patent Porridge Meai better than anything they have had bnfore. We thank you for supplying a long-felt Avant—a pure Porridge Meal, prepared so as to keep all the most valuable properties of the wheat.—l am, sir, yours truly, (Signed) E. NEARY, Matron.
