What has come o'er the spirit of George's dream? F.K. Bays Miss L. is not old enough to be his grandmother. Did Bob and Frank enjoy that quiet stroll with the two barmaids? What ia the lark about Biddy Ann at the Auckland Club ? Ask Bob. Was Miss 0. on her way to church, from Remuera, on Sunday morning ? Has that Rosinante of 0. P.'s, of Mangare, recovered from the shower of stones P Is it true that J.P., of Epsom, has to dub out another 6s 6d ? Take care, old boy 1 , It was really too bad of those boys to pull ' down that cross erected in memory of the cat. Willie denies that he got his ears cuffed, and . affirms that Susie vras wrong when she said so. ' T., of Avondale, has finished the love-cot, and hopes to entangle some pretty butterfly in his web. Does W. A., of St. James' choir, think it orthodox to wink and smile at the girls in the ; choir P What would Julia's brother, of the Salvation Army, say if 'he saw her with the long fellow of the Skeletons ? • The pilot men would be glad to know if those Doric young females' stockings that went overboard had the measles ? Who is the young man that causes such a public nuisance by following a certain barmaid to every hotel she goes into ? How quietly that gay Lothario at Te Aroha stole through the window when the husband returned home unexpectedly. The Brummagem v . Koonga Eel " says he was known on board ship as " the man with the iron and senseless jaw." He-haw ! Dr Bond, the newly-appointed house surgeon at the Hospital, is a crack football player, having a big record us a first-class back. What did Miss H., of Ponßonby, intend doing with the cat she had wrapped in paper the other morning ? Was Bhe going to market ? It is rumoured that the fair, tall, young man has at hist gained the promise of heart and hand from Mies G., of St. George's Bay Boad. Mr Kenneth Kerr, the proprietor of Facts, has successfully undergone an operation for cancer in the face at the Gisborne Hospital. What is the reason that " Kennedy " does not go to the Salvation meetings now ? Is it because H. won't have^anything to do with him ? Miss 8., or^nehunga, should be careful that no one '1 T* f *)nlr when she kisses that young I crick MflHHflHber of the railway carriage. ! HoH^^l^Hl F,, of G-.-street, is not seen dirtii^HH^^^^mod-looking married lady ? H as 1 ' * 8 ne a^ ra^ °^ ■ a decree nisi ?^^^^^^^HHh Ask tnaV(|^H^Hr what ke was doing so early as SiTalnHß^ Asylum gate. Was he rehearsing for thtfo|fting play, or for the dance ? Why does the Professor want to leave ye street of Vincent? Has the lawyer who is daily trying to find the lost chord anything to do with it. It is said that the man who makes the greatest fuss about the smallnesß of the offertory at St. Thomas' has never been known to put a "stiver " in the plate. Hot before time to have the fowls killed at No. 1, when that young man was engaged at 4s per day to assist Dovell in securing the eggs for a certain party. Who is the Cesmopolitan that is seen wandering almost daily among the reeds in Vincentstreet ? Perhaps he may be recognised by the tall white hat. Who where those three young ladies walking on the Panmure Bridge, that were overheard remarking that they would have their beaux made to order. Poor 8., of the Whau, was awfully downhearted on Sunday when he couldn't find Miss M., of Ponsonby. Wonder whether he found her at the Bay ? Billy C. and lisping Eliza looked like two cooing" doves when walking in Princes-street, on Sunday night. Oh, Christy for her! where has Billy's good taste gone ? What made the grocer look so sick at Ponsonby on Friday ? If he had kept his eyes off the cream Bilk, the evening might have been more pleasant for the faded lay. Carrie S., of Parnell, thought she was right in it with the half-caste, at the Parnell dance, on Friday night; but it won't wash, as George says he would rather have Mary. Brother Bill's noodle says he won't tread the boards again until the impression he left on the public mmd 11 on his first appearance has somewhat Bof tened down. He says he lacks Power ! Who were the two old buffers who were arguing in a vicious and ungentlemanly manner on the window-sill of the P.S.Jf. Co.'s office, at the bottom of Queen-Btreet, on Friday last ? Bobby the Frog says the Mount Roskill girls are just exquisite. Merely to oblige one young 1 lady, he just took a glass of whisky, forgetting all about the blue ribbon, and now — he's on the malt. The two young ladies who, out of pure mischief, speak to young fellows in Symondsstreefc, and then beg their pardon and say it was a. mistake, had better take care, or they may catch a Tartar. , , . If that amorous young bookkeeper of G.-street i does not cease his' epistolary communications to the lady who,;does : not n reciprocate, his.. feelings towards; her,. h,e. will, shortly djtecovei?., (jhat he has. ; put his foot in it>"v ; ;-; . ,:,■<■ £..;..,■ i >-.;

Some [regular church-goera want to know, ; you know, : why that new parson turns, Ms back to the. altar, and ■, performs divers and sundry genuflections which properly appertain to "another place." Nuff sed. Who are those two gentlemen in a certain boarding-house in Vincent-street, that, having bought two belltoppers! (which, by-the-way, do not become them), try to induce their fellow- j boarders to procure one each ? When the gentlemanly dressmaker from an establishment in Queen-street was holding in his hand a copy of last Observes, and reading a certain paragraph, he was heard to exclaim, in a tone of anger, " Him as put this in wos a hignorant hass." ■ Miss M., of Ohapel-Btreet, has joined the Salvation Army, and intends using her influence to convert some of those G-rafton-road young men, for whom the special sermon last Sunday in the Wesleyan Church was unavailing. Her motto is, " Wait a bit." The following is a specimen of the kind of communications which fill our waste-paper basket : — " Sawdust Billy had better mind what . he says about D.G-.P., without he wants his head punched." Who is "Sawdust William?" and what high crime and misdemeanour has he committed ? In reference to the remarks passed about the pupils attending Mr B.s dancing class in Bemuera by K. and 8., of that neighbourhood, the young Indies say tbey can make allowances for the latter, as lie is only a babe — ah. ! but as for E., being a married man, they think he might have been a little kinder to them. The residents of Mount Eden and vicinity were much startled on Saturday last by what appeared to be an apparition. On close observation, it was found to be the travelling representative of a certain grocery establishment (wholesale and retail). He in his go-to-meetings — long white sleever, pants to match, and yellow gloves. The pugilistic compositor gave another specimen of his prowess in the manly art on Saturday night last. Having his usual modicum of Dutch courage on board, he "bushed" two unoffending citizens in the v kisser," without any provocation, and was only quietened when the "Hard Case" tapped him on the " smeller." Poor Bruin, came in for a random shot from the ex-champion ! Who were the three young gentlemen with, the blue ribbon badge upon their manly chests that were seen disporting themselves upon the parallel and horizontal bars in Beresford-street School yard last Sunday morning, and the same evening were seen basking in the dress-circle at the Opera House ? Is this in " sympathetic accord " with the teachings of the great Baahaw ? If so, a branch church in Vincent-street would be a great desideratum.
