It was very generous of the ex-bank official the other night to put in a good, word edgeways for the " soft goods " man ;/but wfey not have done as much also for Tommy' who iJF likewise " under a cloud," and. whose pros^es^rof future happiness are. almost bankrupt ? That Tongan is hopelessly gone on the barmaid, and the situation may be thus described by the dusky swain in the words of the poet : — " What thing she bids me do, I do ; And where she bids me go, I go ; Aiid when she likes to call, I come, I serve, I bow, I loot, I loube ; My eye it followeth her about." The intimation of engagement sent by S. D. wants authentication. Here we have an authoritative contradiction of the announcement made last week about Mr Gr., of Vincent-street, and Miss G-., of Cosgrave, "as there is not the slightest truth in the statement." It is annoying to have these contradictions made, and not know who to kick for the false report. Some economical souls can do their love-making on. the cheap. A dark, curly -haired young man did it iast Sunday night in St. Benedict's Church, Newton. After doing a heavy spoon with a pretty girl in black hat and white feather, he showed the white feather by clearing out of the sacred edifice while the collection was on. The best part of the trick wa3 that he came back again when the danger was past and began where he left off. There's money in his method, and the young man deserves to be better known. We regret to state that a certain engagement at Epsom, between a Southern M.D. and the daughter of one of our Auckland millionaire, has been broken for the following reasons : — Firstly, that the man of medicine could not give his pedigree ; secondly, that he never got up to open the door when his fiancee left the room j and thirdly; but worst of all, that during his long engagement he never even tried to kiss the apple of his eye. Doctor! I guess that's darned rough.
