THAMES TITTLE TATTLE

— Farrell refused to appologise to Dean, and is now seen wagging his tail as of yore. —It is now a settled thing between the fair Hebe and one of the " Sorcerer " supers. —I have not heard much of the Ladies' Benevolent Society lately. Is this eminently charitable association defunct ? — I am sorry we have lost young Philip from the Star office. He was a very decent fellow, and was generally respected. A certain young gentleman, who has been courting a young' lady on the Thames for seven years, has given her tip. 'Tis never too late to mend, James. — I hear that the feud between his Worship the Mayor and Councillor 0. has been amicably settled. " There's whisky in the jar." —"You know, my dear Eva, he's well off, but he's not a gentleman." Key father was the descendant of a ragman, and her mother was the last of a noble race of Pecksniffs. — A complimentary banquet was given to Mr John Brown, the well-known County Councillor, on Saturday last, on the occasion of his leaving for Auckland. — The Waiotahi schoolmaster has entered on his connubial term of office. It is wonderful what a difference a few weeks of married life makes in him. ITo more are the stately schoolmaster and his bride discovered in amorous conversation. — "Tadpole G." had to apologise to Miss M. at Mrs A.'s dance the other night for the gross insult he offered her. It was lucky for him he had such a patient man as Mr P. to deal with, or he would have measured his length, on the pavement. — What has become of a certain little boy who was left to the guardianship of a high Government official. I have not observed his name on the school rolls, and it is said he is made the family drudge, like poor Smike, Charles Dickens' hero. — On Thursday week the Scotch band gave a promenade concert in the Academy of Music. The musicians attended in mufti, and presented the appearance of a Brummagem German band. The next time they play let them don their uniforms, though the "gold" facings are a trifle tarnished. — Young W. had better not interrupt the members of St. George's choir during their devotions by talking to his inamorata. People see through it, and are disgusted with his behaviour. If he needs no prayer, he might at least grant those the privilege of peace who have some thought beyond idle tales of love in the house of God.
