Ask the members of the Masonic Hall dancing class what; they saw in that knife ? All th& girls were anxious to see the sweet little bird. That tall expressman enjoyed himself greatly , dancing with Ida at the Lome-street Hall. Hasthe Mbunt Eden magnet lost her attraction ? Has "Yours truly" given away any more prayer books lately to any young ladies ? AncL^ does he think this kind of work will save him ?

It showed pluck on the part of that tall young' man to fasten the shoe-strings of the two fair* ones — (no, one was red !) — on Sunday last, on the road, to Parnell. Mike, begorra, you're in it ! A young man says that J. 8., of St. George's Bay^Road, had better not take that Newmarket young man home any more, as it looks ba.d to see her coming home by herself. It is rather too bad of that Lome-street Terpsi-^ chorean temperance man to place his better-half in the pit of the theatre while he attends to his> drill. Moral : Don't keen good-looking lodgers.
