(fBOM THE DUNEDIN SATUEDAT ADVKBTISEB.)

Auckland, December 5. I notis ye didn't insert me last effnshion, an' fail I'm glad ye.didn'ti for, sure, instead o';gbiri' isthraight on to Kawau wid ,Qir George, Johnny Sbeehan parvailed on me to go along'wid him to meet Bewi. .Af^oorse, yp'ye'got all the partickulars q'the meetin' be tiligraph, but bad cess to the! word did they say about iDe.at all, at aU-vjlt's, just a dirty, bit o' spite on the part av> HouLfc and M'Carty, for faix they know that it was miself that got me collaij+es to flthart an opposishun anincy— the divil a word o' lie in it. Begorra, ther was goins on entirely at Waitara, so ther was, whin, we arrived. At coorse, I thravelled: ih-cbgrnight o, and I didn't wair;ipeMßCK>rt. shuit? bekaise me life would be taised out o' me ,wid diputashuns. That's always ,'the.way wid mm o' mark, so it is, an' 'pon meaowl I've often wished I was a common' plabian instid ay a ■Ministher 0' the Crown widout, a port* foley.i'Bewi was mighty plaised to meet me agin, an' "afther we rubb'd noses an' wished aitch other slantha (Irish) in a dtirop'o* the oray^thur, he sea to me: "O, fririd Paddy, greetins to ye,. «n' a grate manyar thim'. Mighty are tbe works o' the Paketiai An' whatd'ye tfiihk o* me rnewshuitV Mossgiel;" Isn't, ft railly illgint. Spaik, O frind. Salutashuns." " Be the hokey,' it's a mighty purty fit, Eewi, me boy; but ~ tare-an-ounthers, ayick machree, I don't, like to see sich things on ye, so I don't," ses I. "YPhat d'ye mane?" ses he. Wou'd ye be afther insultin' me?" ses he, lopkin' mighty indignant. " Musha, faix, thin, I wouldn't," ses I; "but a bould warrior like you looks more at* home in his natire koatchume, so he dcies," ses I. ■ ■ r" Musha, faixi that stands to rayson, Sure enuff," sea he; " but Paddy, aohorra, I'm just wairin' this shuit out o' komplimeht^o Johnny: v Sure • he's • " sharehoulder in the Mossgiel Company, along wid Mac and Stout, an' he thinks this'll be a grand adrartisement for the tweed. D'ye mind me now," ses Bewi. "At coorse! I do, Eewi, roe bouohil," :se»i.'.; ,' • •.'.•. ' - , * : Afther that we wint an tuk tay to- . gether, but. I 'refused point blank to go to the banket the ; nirt night at New Plymouth. Betcbuhe you an* me. the purty little darlint aT a Princess, wid the wicked eyes that put the comether (Irish) on me whin I was here last, gave me the wink to meet her at the crass roads, whilst Johnny an' the chiefs wor stin' an* dhrinkin' the lashins an' lavins purvided be the Mare o' New Plymouth for the ■ occasion. Johnny slept wid Eewi on the Sunday night, an' Eewi slept wid Johnny the night afther, ..so he did. Johnny has tould me since, as a grate sayorit, that 'Eewi snores like the very' divil, an' that he has a mighty onpleasant habit o' kickin' the blankets off in his dhrames. He likewise tould me that Eewi roared out in his sleep, ,"O, slaves, an' sons o' slaves, bring me a fat hid BtuflTd wid sage anliinions. I have spoken." Johnny ses that he felt, mighty oncomfortable durin' the night. On the Monday night I tuk Bewi, to the teyather.^an' pon me conshinse, ther was grate doin's intirely wid the Naygur Minsthrels, so ther was. .Eewi laughed at their iccsinthriciiies v until ho was black in the face. " Tundher an' turf/ Paddy," ses he, whin the pirformance was over, " thim's the divil's "own" play-boys, so they are. What the'dickens makes thim make a holy show o' thimselves in that manner," ses he. • / " Och, Tbathershin (Irish)," ses Ii " sure ; thimV only small pittaties to the play* ' boys at Willinton. Pon me censhinso, it 1 'ud do the cockles o* yer heart good to

see the goins on o' the pirformera at the Parlianaenthary Teyather ivery session." " Arrah, don't minshin it, Paddy allanah," ses Kewi, " sure Johnny has offered me an ingagement to play ould mm kar-acthers. He ses I'd make a big hit wid the Upper Circle, an' that the Kurnil would act as prompther, and give me the cue, whin nississary." The discourse inded here, for Johnny happened to come along, an' I got Rewi on to his button-hole whilst I slipped away, unawares, to meet me sable colleen. Arrah, ye may talk o' yer Vanuses, an' Arorys, an' Dieanys, ah' all yer other hay thin godesses, but, tare-an-ounthers, ay ye clapt eyes ipon the little darlint that's bored a hole in the sinthre o' me heart, ye'd niver spake o' the anshint beuties again. .Bedad' she's a poetisi, too, an' she sung the followin' thrifle ay' her own composishum, as she gave me the last squeeze just as we wor partin' :— " Och, darlint, beguiliu', \ v I'll bask in yer smilin', I love ye, me honey, me bould Pakeha; Ye've captured me heart, sure; Och, why must we part, sure ; Ye're not small pittaties, me Murphy agrah." Faix, I thought the poor craythur would brake her heart when I lift her. I may minshun ong passong (Frinch) that I'm now on^ me road to Kawau. Sir George is purty mad bekaise I didn't come sooner. I'll tell ye all about the place in me nixt. Ajew for the present. : Paddt MtruPHY.
