WAIORONGOMAI.
Wiggins in the garden, pumpkins sprouting... Would B. let his nose on tribute?... Our blacksmith says if he knew your correspondent he'd take a rise out of him. Gk>d bless his extreme youth, he could not take arise out of a kangaroo cat... The fair tobacconist looks too-utterly indescribable behind the counter... Miss F. is here at present, but finds the young men up here are very slow. A little innocent flirtation would not be out of place... E. had better get a grey belltopper if he wants to heal the sick round here... Young Charlie P. has determined to sport his figure at the next ball. There will be a flutter in the ball-room when he appears. Borrow a set of ears, Charlie^ or there will be trouble. The night is rather calm and still, The breeze so gently swells ; Forth from a. whare on the hill Issue horrid yells. Ten thousand dogs, as many cats, Three hundred Ngatehakos — Dahomey's famous Tom-tom Band. A band of chattering jactoa "Would bite olr all their useless tongues, And get quickly out of sight If they heard the song, " Buifalo Girla" Sung as it was that night.
