Mr. Edditer, Sir,— lf the old folk* did not pay much, for what the book-scholars call eddication when I was a youngster, perhaps my observation is a little more outer like, cause tii not wared away by reading. Now I have a-seed things since I've been in Auckland, about which • letle advice may be of service ; and so as to make this more interesting to the fare sex, I asked my friend, the Edditer of the Slickswille Entusymussy, to put it into rime. A lady (who has just had out a new dress improver, which the Captin told me came to two tons measurement) intends to put it to musick, she says 'tis so very sentymental. Sam Slick. Good Wives should resemble three Things, which thrte Things they should not resemble. Good wives to snails should be akin, Always their hou«es keep within, But not to carry (fashion's hacks), All they are worth upon their backs. Good wives to city clocks should be, Exact with regularity, But not like city clocks so loud, Be heard by all the vulgar crowd. Good wives like echo should be true, And speak when they are spoken to, Yet not like echo, so absurd, To have for ever the last word.
