BE MEMBER ME. Remember mo, though rolling ocean* Place it® bounds ’twixt thee and me; Remember me, with soft emotion, And believe I’ll think of thee. Should’st thou behold fond lovers meeting/ Ail their glowing thoughts to tell; Or hoar the longue so prompt, at greeting, Utter slow that word “Farewell—

Remember me! For thus ’twas ever, hen from thee oft forced to part, My lingering look from thine could sever, Only with an aching heart. Remember me! Should ere before thee, Lovers plead on bended knee ; Ah ! Let the shadowy past come o’er thee, List not, but Remember mo !

Oh ! may yon orb that brightly burnetii, l.ight on one spot both me and thee; Then, till that hour so dear returneth, Fail not to Remember me ! Remember me though rolling ocean, Place its bounds ’twixt thee and mo ; Remember me with soft emotion, And believe I'll think of thee.

An inquiry has been held by the Native Olliec into certain charges preferred by J. A. "Wilson against Captain Mair. The inquiry was held at To Tcko before ]f. AV. Brabant, the Resident Magistrate of Opotiki, and lasted three days. Mr. AVilson said that Captain Mair had offered a native, named Titiku, £lOO for a block of land, for the purchase of which the Government were negotiating. Titiku denied that Captain Mair had made any such offer, or that he had authorised anyone to make such a statement. The result is, that Captain Mair is exonerated from all charges made against him, Wilson now being satisfied that he was misinformed.
