MOUNT EDEN.
That lady-killer '3Tort.* who has lately taken to wearing the ' Stoddatt ' comes out a regular toff now, and quite outrivals the other swell young bootmaker of the Wakefield-street factory. He now goes with a girl of his own, a giddy young thing, with lieht auburn tresses ; but I'll stop here, as I am rather nervous when I see him now, as he is a pupil of Professor Carrollo's and a coming light in the fistic arena.
Since last week's issue of the Obsfrveb I have been in dire dread of my life, and cannot be prevailed upon to vacate the family group after dusk. The reason is explained by the fact that ' Policeman Jim,' tlu individual spoken of by me in your last issue, is searching the neighbourhood Mgh and low for the offending 0.M.., and his threats of vengeance make my very marrow creep. I try to' forget him, but all in vain, for the moment I raise my eyes and catch sight of the lamp-post outside, thoughts of him and his intentions (caused by the resemblance between the post and him) flash through niy mind, and send me off in a fit of violent trembling.
