HELENSVILLE HOT COCKLES,
" We never speak as we pass by,' 5 is becoming a favourite song here. Patriarchs, policemen, publicans and penmen all siug it. The tidal wave of litigation that lately passed over this township is, no doubt, in a measure to blame for this. The clerk of the Court has been kept at it, and he was busy enough before, too. They were friends thro' the summer that's pasf, And her fair lingers wore him a cap ; She laughed when he offered to pay, For lucre, she But the seeds of dissension are sown, For the kadee that now decks his nob She has sent him a little account, ' To one Tarn o' Shanter, ten bob.*
