INTERPROVINCIAL TELEGRAMS.

(FROM THE LYTTELTON TIMES.) "Wellington, March . The. Press. Association's special Commissioner at Hawera telegraphs" as follows: —Natives who can be depended on say that if the surveyors are sent on to the plains again they will be turned back. If an armed force is sent with them they will be met by an armed force of Maoris.. Matters are not to be played with. It is better to' be prepared ' • before anything, is done. The settlers are unprotected. There.,is; not a spare rifle in the district • there is - only a small Volunteer Cavalry Corps heie, and the Waihi Constabulary would'have their hands full holding 'their fort.

And Jones is agoin' to take it,- and this is ms money here ; I shut down lendin' it to him, and then coaxed him to try it a year. ■ ' ■ - And here is a few items that happened last week in our. town *» I thought they'd look good for the paper, a*? v BO ? 3 " UBt 3 0tted ' em down - And here's a bushel of russets ray wife picked expressly for you ; m A small-bunch of flowers from Jennie, she _ r thought she must do something, too: lou'iedoin* the politics bully, as all our family agree; Just keep your old goose-quill a flappin', and give them a good one for me. And now, you are chuck full of business, and L won't be takin your time, - „. I've things of my own! must'tend togood day, sir, I believe I will climb." The editor sat in his sanctum, and brought down his fist with a thump. " God bles f s that old farmer!" he muttered, *« " he's a regular jolly truriip." And it's thus with our noble profession, and thus it will ever be still ; There are some who appreciate its labor and some who perhaps never will. But in the great time that is coming,; when Gabriel's trumpet shall sound, And they who have labored and rested shall come from the quivering ground-; And they who have striven and suffered to teach and ennoble the race; Shall march to tbe front of the column, *• each one in his Godgiven place : . As they march through the gates, of the City ,_with proud victorious tread,, \ editor and his assistant will riot be far from the head. :
