EENTRE NOUS:

— Mao. looked supremely happy, and quite lit home, in Ben's 'bus going to the station on Saturday afternoon*

— 'Mid a bevy of youth and beauty.

— I clip the following from the Lyttlcfon Tims of March W :— His Excellency the Governor held a levee at noon, on Saturday, in the Provincial Council Chamber. His Excellency was accompanied by his suit, the Hon. the Premier, the Jtokotui of Thakaundrovi, and Mr Victor Williamaon.

— Who the doooe is " the Rokotui of Thakaundrovi f "

— The atmosphere in S. Peter's on Sunday evening was decidedly sultry.

— The parson had ridden from Te Aroha, where he celebrated Divine Service at 8 a.m. ; ditto at Waihou, at 11 a.m. ; ditto, at Piako at 3.30, reaching Hamilton juet in timo for Evensong at seven.

— So no wonder he was warm.

— The C. G. ("Commercial gents,") of a patronising turn, are really too awful.

— I invariably "draw the line," or rather endeavour to " draw the line," at this genus.

— Seldom with success.

— Be their particular line—" hard" or "soft goods," — they are bound to let you know it.

— At breakfast the " gushing" C. G. ii particularly a bore.

— I am always sulky at breakfast : most people, I believe, are.

— History records no noble or generous deed, that was promoted by that meal : it is essentially solitary ; it inaugurates the troubles of the day : it recalls the extra brandy and soda, or ill-luck at' whist the night before.

—In short, it is an abominable rite Coram populo.

— Yes : life's too short to talk at breakfast.

— Poor Fred missed the train on Saturday.

— Why don't they run a late train on Saturday nights ?

— Friend Moses's window is neatly decorated with a new style of paintings. However, they don't surpass the elegant design lately exhibited in the Mayor's window-

— I hear that there is a Good Templar's regalia for sale at Te Aroha.

— The owner having no further use for it.

— Th« Tauranga "Buster," referring to the rumour that Joe purposes starting an opposition paper at Tauranga, says ' ' a co-worker" will be very acceptable.

— But considering the mess he has made of the Cambridge venture, does'nt counsel him to prosecute the undertaking.

— "Co-worker" is a good way of putting it.

— I hear that the gentleman who, according to the Herald, some time ago, was pluckily rescued from a watery grave in the Mangapiko, by Eddy, is prospering at Te Aroha.

— He won a horse last Saturday.

— Which may fetch thirty shillings at the next horse sale.

— Reuben complained bitterly at the delay in serving the pudding at the Nottingham Castle on Saturday.

—He attributes the fact to the absence of the Hostess.

— If she proposes to be away on next Board day, he would like to be warned beforehand.

— As he would bring his dinner with him.

— There is a marriage on the tapii at Taupiri.

— I hear that Tommy has the most complete office on the Aroha.

— Everything in duplicate.

— The widow rode home from Te Aroha on Saturday, with a large retinue.

— S made the running strong at the races, but A appears to be the coming man.

— It ia a prood idea, thai used at a recent wedding. The doTO suspended from the marriage-bell bore an olive branch in its beak.

—If intended as typical of future peace and calm on the matrimonial sea, on -which the newly-wedded pair had embarked, let us hope the pledge may be practically carried out.

— Especially the olive branch part of it

— The Temperance people are greatly put atout at the defection of a shining light.

— Who now patronises the upstairs bar.

— But who refrains from going to the Club over the water.

— By-the-way I am told, the upstairs affair is proving a great convenience.'

—It i« certainly a comfprt, to those who prefer peace and quietness to the noise and- bustle which are inseparable from the business conducted on the lower -floors.

— At »ny rate during the sitjting of tlie Lands Court. . " j£

— So far from being antagonistic to the Temperance Sooiety, this Jbar ought to prove a yalu&ble auiilUarV. ' ' '
