WHANGAREI.
Who was the fellow who ran away from the dance with poor B.s girl? — Who was the young fellow that rode from Tongatiroria to Whangarei to see his girl ? — lsn't it awful to listen to the melancholy howling of C.'s dog when he goes out for his evening rambles ? 'Tis sweet to hear the watchdog's honest baric, But not so pleasant is that watchdog's bnyiugs, 'Tis sweet to go nymn-nyuining after dark, Sweet are love's sigU3, and little tender sayings, There is a plcnsurc in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely strand, But it is not pleasnnt when papa intrudes And wields a horsewhip in his strong right hand, Or with his thick-soled hoots makes such abrasion That sitting down becomes a painful operation. , .
