AN~ EPIGRAM. Mr. Wilkinson, objecting.—Tile excess duty had unjustly taken too much out of the farmers' pockets. Sir Joseph Ward, interjecting.—Even so, it had noi come up ;o the Treasury estimatc.—Parliamentary delate. "You take too much, 0 grant me some relief, 'Twas hardly won and honest labor's fruit." The plunder'd cried, but sternly spake The thief: "How now complain of this, mv little loot, Follow: 'tis less than was my estimate. On. Heaven thank vours is not sadder fate.'" ROBERT J. BAKEWELL. Waitui, July 20. P.S.-—Let us hope Sir Joseph's political morality, like his logic, has not been colored by attendance at the Imperial Conference comedy, produced on the London boards at his instance, or may I presume, to get rid of him. —R.J.B.
