NOW AND THEN.

(TO, THE EDITOR OK THE STANDARD.) SiR,-r-I see Cr James King is very anxious to have som£ of the Borough Councils money find its to the Beady Money .StoreY . j)ear me, Sir. What a change, xf^ever ft^; Beady Money Store and its ptetty.cute toss, was properly told off, it was hy Mr James King. But he wasn't a ,Cr then. Nor he wasn't manager of the f ß?ady Money Store, snd i suppose that makes the difference. And some s day before long he may ript be a,Cr any more, and neither may ho be manager of the Beady Money Store. And that will make all the : difference a|jain. And so it gee'i.on./ Seer saw, margery daw. . Once upon a time, l»e used to revile the Timts, and blacl?Kuard Smith. Now he reviles the Standard, and blackguards McMinn. Just so Sir, nfargery daw. As it vwssiijthQ bpginnipor, is now, and ever, fchajl he. Bit I won?t say any mote just now. By all accounts some people ;h»ye ' bother enough jmt ait present. And yet nobody cries,' but -many laugh, and some; shake their heads. Don't let Jjm King know who sent you this. . I'd Have: the. clique on the top of me like a thousand of bricks. v There would be Jim and Tom, and Park, and Wylds; and little Sol, and God knows who febe. But Sir; the day of the clique i» nearly over. Their potatoe is about /cooked; ThiV will be small spuds and .a few on a hill befpre long. Let them 'rip. Now don't let on for the life of ye jwhp I am, and I'll drop ye a line again feoon. Yourstill death,' .. ' '^ ; Jemima.'
