A Te Aroha Wail.

Oil Luggie, Luggie, darling, Wliy will you cross the wave ? And venture into Waitoa Perhaps to find a grave ; You know those people doubt you, And do not want you there; They say such thingß about you, “As your motives are’nt fair ” Then stay at home, dear Luggie “ Mayor Farmer,” soon must die, I mean of course, Mayoralty, Then for his slippers try, Perhaps, Te Arohamay stand you, They’re accustomed to your “ Blow ” But the Waitoa’s keen Reformers Will fix your value low.

You’re weak upon finance Luggie, And Waitoa needs are strong, a Offensive speech, and strident voice, With merit don’t belong, ; Then stay at home, Dear Luggie, ? And do not cross the wave; Nor venture into Waitoa. Or fill a traitors grave. ' „ Loyalty. ! Our correspondent ‘ ‘ Loyalty ’ ’ The Kipling of “The Ratepayers’ Reform Association ” having heard of a certain movement in connection with the forthcoming local Government elections in November next, deals with it the above, of course, “ the graves,” mentioned by “ Loyalty ” are those of political reputation.
