PEARSONAL

If Professor Hugo had been Jonah there -would have been a bad chance for the whale. How sad poor J.C. must have felt at the Supi*eme Court on Thursday night waiting for Jane ! How nice Constable K. and the fair Jane looked when on " bate " together on Wednesday night 3 What a sensation the receipt of Paddy's valentine created in a certain saddler's shop an Queen -street. Had Yellow Jack anything to do with the termination of the engagement with the dark man in V.-street? That house at Rocky Nook looks desolate without the suite of furniture and the happy Jbride. Rather rough on the tailor ! M. and A. must have made up their minds to slip Harry at the North Shore last Sunday, •and what a time they must have had ! That podgy little soft-goods man and the Avenue widow must have had a sweet time of it in Judge's Bay on Sunday afternoon ! Poor Tom ! Leave the " hupper suckles " alone. No wonder Nelly objected to your calling at Northumberland House. The idea — the mere idea was preposterous ! A social at Henderson to-night (Friday) at which the new pedagogue, albeit a bachelor, will be trotted out. Gruel, smiles, jam, conversation lollies (selected), etc., ad lib. Nellie says it would require " Rhoda, the Living Wonder " to discover where the lamb ,got to last Sunday evening. Perhaps she her usual supply of sheep's eyes. A young chap — McD., I think, was his name — Is an adept at hugging, we know ; But in the Domain on a Sunday that game To practise is not comme il faut. How spoony those two fair Hebes were on that masher on the return from the Russell Regatta, and how happy he could have been with either were t'other dear charmer away ! 'Tommy returned by the Tarawera, and was -effusively welcomed on th" wharf by all the young damsels of the flock. He was much •overcome, and so were the girls ; but when •he gets out that trunkful of blunt from the .hold there will be great rejoicings. It was very " unduke " on the part of those supposed respectable youths of Mount Albert, especially after attending church practice, to howl like yahoos around a lady's residence and abuse her visitors. They will feel white about the gills some fine night if they don't stake the hint. Brother Thomas, of pious memory, has ■been vegetating at Otonga ; and, by the way, where is Otonga? lie reckons Shaker meetings don't pay, but threatens to. introduce the Salvation Harrny and import a detachment of hallelujah lasses. Lively times in store for Otonga. Those two dudines in St. Paul's Church who so ostentatiously removed their gloves last Sunday and extended their hands on the backs of the seats in order to display their .rings (paste ?) to the admiring gaze of the .young men behind, should know that such •vulgar display is bad form even in the ihaut ton.
