LEIGH,
Tbe rumour anent a North Shore widow coming to dwell under the shade of the green- wood tree is wide of the mark. That Hobsou-street charmer knows better, and we are not taking any widows just at present... Who is the nautical hero that has been pleasantly doing the guardian angel biz. to beauty unprotected ? Ah, that sort of thing floes appeal to one's upright feelings, doesn't it; and yet, when Taking the wings of the morning, We steam o'er the deep waters blue, Mem'ry will breathe that old warning, Be true to thine own self — be true.
