KUMEU.
Who was the party that enquired at the Kurueu lately for " a good cock-rooster ?" How were the grapes last Sunday, Arthur ? Sour, eh ? After going to church too ! . For shame Joe ! If you will kiss the girl you might as well do so or the open platform at Waimaukau as iv the station house. The faithful government servant could not afford time last week even to look at two' young ladies who had come nearly two miles to see him. Is it true that in P. W.s opinion the only thing required for a gander is to know the use of a spirit level ? Any man can find his level if he only take spirits enough. Jealousy is a very bad fault when carried to the extent of waylaying a supposed rival on his return from visiting the fair one, especially when the aggressor gets the worst of the fray. Isn't it so Arthur ?
