— Daniel had better look out as W. M. says he is watching his little game, and will not be cut out with impunity. — Charley, go in and win, Harry is away, make hay while the sun shines, and the harvest is not all gathered at Taupaki yet. — Mr T. H. was extremely merry some short time ago, and was heard singing in melifluous tones If ever I marry, I'll marry a publican's daughter. — W. M. has been seen loitering about the place in a most sentimental manner since a certain young lady was unable to go to to the railway picnic with him. — J. W. is supposed to be reading for the church. He has been sticking so steadily to his books lately that- not even Annie's sweetest smiles could allure him thence. — Our "Lady killer" is reported to have surrendered at discretion to some young lady from the Waikato, whom he is expected shortly to introduce to us here, and judging from rumour she will prove a formidable rival to our local belles. — Moonlight walks are very well, but I'ie young man who patrols the country at nig 'at while the creeks are flooded should not linger so long at the feet of beauty, unless he knows how to swim, as a walk of six miles through mud and water is rather detrimental to the tender passion, and is not at all romantic.
