TO “ToL’HOC." In the silent midnight watches, Uy a guttering candle's ghiro, an unknown wmslloml poet—• Sat a Stalin- of ilespair: Sheets of paper scattered round hint. Covered with rejected metre* —■ Scratched anil blotted everywhere. Hard he laboured, long he studied, I A.St t« sleep and passing time, How to make his school-boy doggerel Seem of intellect sublime. Yea. the out stion that iwrplexed him Most of all was—will this sentence. With the sense, and the last one rhyme. Now, metliinka our would-be poet, •Kre lu- wasted thus his brain ! Should have asked himself in earnest, Wa« it equal to the strain. B) his I red and ihreakt n features I jicrceived. with gentle pity. He had jiassed a night of pain. - Waste not, want not,' grand old maxim, l'aste it on thy sleeve, nty friend. And when'er thou thiuk'st of rhyming. Ask, has t thou the hruiii to spend, lietter far amuse the children — Tell them stories, hunt for something You can either make or inend. Another Tou Hou. rahiatua. According to the Tress tho Oovcmment sustained something in the nature of a defeat on Wednesday night. Thev tried, after a long debate on the charitable aid question, to get the House into Com* mittee of Supply, but the House refused, on a division by 80 to 25. Although Sir Julius Vogel and the Premier spoke very strongly against Mr Pearson's resoltution, Htlirming the desirableness of the Government collecting the contributions towards charitable aid on a Property Tax basis, it was carried a little after 1 o'clock on Thnrs<hty morning, in an amended form, on the casting vote of the Speaker. Tho resolution w as amended, on the motion of Mr Ivess, so as to exempt all properties under A'soo in value. During tne discussion on the resolution, the Premier stated that if it was passed he would withdraw the Charitable Aid Bill trom the Order Pnjier. Mr Barron considered that if the 1 House passed the resolution the Government should ot once consider thoir position, Imt this was received with a laugh from the Ministerial benches. l-’or remainder news see fourth page.
