THOUGHTS.

, •- ■ As I often think, of things in general, and more riarticulai'ly o£ things in Wailcato,\it may, perhaps,,do'goodif now and then I put 4 *4pfw happy thoughts oa paper pro bono ]>üblico, or any other co.

Well, this morning as I lay thinking, I thought it nice fbr V- to get his footpath made up at the public expense, after having promised to <make it up himself. I also thought how nice it must be fo* the old gentleman to have to do the grand to a now enyineer, umbrella in hand, and ■wave his filly white hand around, -as if to lot the common people see that ho had the cliricting.J'oJ; the affairs, generally of the BorougW we saw yesterday afternoon, ajjfci well the old "fellow played, his part.

I Ijhonght Jiofr delightfully impudent it was of V to make his son Frank sell the Council 'some . chairs, etc., etc., and when W'$TH* chase was repudiated by the Council, Councillor V gets a committee appointed to reconsider the affair. The Mayor, on Councillor V 's name being mentioned, mildly remarked that he thought V was ineligible, being interested. " I'm not interested," quoth V , " and have as much right to be on the committee as anyone else. ' And he is on that committee ! How will it end ? Not in retrenchment,*! trow !

I thought how nice it would be to have' a contract under the Newcas>t c Board, and be a friend of Corboy's or Day's, and so get paid up at once, whilst men who worked last year for tlio Board have not yet been settled with. However, Paddy gets his road made, and Day frets his yard drained, and ' so the world jogs along.

I thought how happy the Cambridge District' Board mnst be how that they have at last driven a poor beggar out of his mind, and put all their spare water on his allotment.

I wonder if Hewitt is happy, now that he has the whole square gravelled. I hope he is for the sake of the Chairman of the C.T.B. Thinkkb.
