NEW PLYMOUTH PUNS.

Cannot Fanny W. 0. pick up with anybody ? I am very sorry for her, but never mind ; the longer you live single, the fewer troubles you will have to bear. Martha B. seems to have depised her nearest friend, since proposing to old Fatty. Has Alfred P. any serious intentions among . the terrace beauties ? Eemember, Alf, you are only a boy yet. Does our Colonial Bank clerk intend to propose to Miss K. H. of Devon-street, or Miss A.. X., of Fulford-street ? He had better be quick and make up his mind, for 6ome one else is on the track.-. F, P. C.'s (Boy), why do you blush and look so serious when you meet your former lady love ? She tkinks it is a good joke. Our lately established draper does not believe i n the early closing movement. What about the mirrors, Babs ? It is a Petty job, anrl you ought to have the birch for life in consequence. Lewis says two bob is not half bad. Verily music hatli charms, but beware of the Waiwaikaiko river, old man. &Our local bonifaces are having a bad time of it since the club started. The Eecl House is the latest afflicted with gout in the toe. The Alexandra Hall is troubled with rats. They will be after the £100 violin if the owner is not careful. The Colonial Junior is acting the masha/*. He is Rich in his own conceit — lah di dah ! Not a pen-ny in his pocket, lah di dah ! Two Bob is doing all the running at present. The amateurs are taking a back seat. * Oh, I would like a glass of stout.' . Who has Cooked the cabbies ; they do^fc get enough fares, I suppose. They * don't like being bossed by no one.' The Clerk of the Court should be careful that the blinds of the office in Brougham-street are down when he goes " nyum-nyuming." He was quite at Ho(l)me. Papa, must have been at Waitara.
