Ask Miss E., of H.-street, ; and Miss H., of W.-street, to relate the statement made by the fortune-teller. What was the attraction for W. J., of the « Twinkler," at St. Matthew's Church the other Sunday evening ? That young lady in the Onehunga 'bus brought the Captain up with a round turn. Verdict— Sarved'him right. That clergyman at Onohunga should feel highly honoured when Miss F. condescendingly nods to him during the service. Were Becky and young Mac. studying as tronomy, that they kept that drive up till one a.m. on the Show day ? A costly monument is to be erected to Nell 0 wynne, who was the favourite of that monarch of pious memory, Charles 11. How nice the confectioner's daughter and the clerk looked walking up Queen-street on Monday j but, poor fellow, how he blushed. How much do those gents who have such an aversion to "hard graft" hope to "scoop in" over the intended Fancy Dress Ball ? j That exceedingly slim, genteel young man, W.

That benedict M.C. at a certain weekly dance should beware lest his good-looking spouse should catch him piling on the agony with the girls. Didn't Albert, the snob, put some "side ' Von when cavorting round on Sunday afternoon with the fair tobacconist. Pity Fitz. wasn't about ! Is it true that Miss C, of the Hill, Onehunga, ■went home from church alone on Sunday night, while Or. was walking out with that servant girl. Oh fie ! Those young fighting cocks of Mount Smart had better keep out of the back settlement at night, or they may fall into the clutches of tho men in blue. What a graceful "preparation" Jack C., of Newmarket, made to meet those young ladies iv Park Road last Sunday. Was the dog hurt, Jack ? Fred says he thinks it is a pity the W-street tailor cannot restrain those galloots from passing Offensive remarks on persons passing by in the "day time. Who were those two "tin men" that were coiling round handsome Jenny on Monday night last ? " We'll— ah— take a ce-gaw ! What d'ye say, Bob ?" A nice young man says he is ready to take an affidavit that Miss H. was belle of the Parnell ball. We wouldn't divulge his name for worlds. His hair is thin enough already. How very loving Lizzie and Joe sat in church on Sunday evenirg ! Surely, Joe, your hand ought to be cured after Lizzie nursing it so kindly during the sermon. Is it true that the ladies attending the Thursday evening dance at the Lome-street Hall will have to produce their certificates in future before gaining admittance ? The hon. sec. of the Fancy Dress Ball committee -writes to say that it is " not those young ladies in Wellesley-street who are getting it up, but a committee of fifteen gentlemen." How the poor little female sparrows fluttered their dear little wings when they saw that swell in martial uniform at the Mount Eden Fancy Ball. He was all but. How was it that he wore the sword on the right side? Would not the steel have looked better ?
