RATHER A SELL, (To the Editor of the Patea Mail.) Sir, —It Ims been the custom, after the childrens’ Sunday School treat, which is generally held on Valentine’s Day, for one of the settlers in the vicinity to give a dance in the evening to some of the adults ; and it had been observed that on former occasions some of the best of the good things provided for the little ones had been quietly nut on one side forjh'e e.venOil tf lIS OCCRSidII, some of the young ones watched the proceedings, and when the choicest of the viands had been carefully placed out of sight under a shawl, they waited their opportunity, and when the parties turned t icir backs, they quietly helped themselves to the whole of the stock-in-trade, much to the disgust of the parties who evidently had an ej-e to the business of the evening. Such is life.—l am, &c., OBSERVER. Waverloy, 18th Ecb., 1879,
