A Wellington drapery firm haying opened a branch establishment in Blenheim, a local tradesman has issued a flaming advertisement in which the following occupies a prominent position. "The deplorable state of Port Nick is now driving the rag merchants out of that melancholy city with their swags on their backs, and one lucky one has had the good fortune to find out poor insignificant Blenheim— a place unknown to Wellington in its palmy days, but soon found out when wanting a helping hand to lift it out of the mire into which it baa sunk." " Pa," asked an uptown boy the other day, " what is meant by Paradise ?" " Paradise, my son," replied the father, «• is the latter part of next summer, when your mother goes on a visit to your grandmother." Governess (desirous of explaining the word " enough.")— " Now suppose, Freddy, that you gave pussy all the milk she can lap, all the meat she can eat, and all the sweet-cake she cares for, what will she have ?" Freddy (with surprising alacrity) — " Kittens."
