BETTING AT MANCHESTER—WEDNESDAY.
Thore was a good attendance at the rooms to-day, but
the business transacted was not extensive. The appear-

A New Zealand Sawyer's Philosophy.

I have now been knocking about in these colonies for 11
years. I consider myself better off here than at home. In
the old country your master will turn you off for a sour look,
and when you have once got a bad name it will go hard with
you to tine another plaoe. Here I eta to.b Kvva as au
and he knows it. I can turn him off when I choose, and
find as good a place to-morrow. I can make as much in
a day here as I could do in a week in England. I have
saved no money ; what's the use ? I once made £2bo at
the diggings in Australia, went down to Melbourne and
spent it like a gentleman. Ah litis a pleasant thing
being a gentleman, I should like to have nothing else
to do. I wore as good a coat as any of your officer
fellows, and spent my money quite as freely. It lasted
me five months; and it is a comfort to me that I never met
a poor pal without standing treat. I met an old chum bound
for New Zealand, end came down here with him for v. lark.
When I have made a little money I go down to Auckland
and spend it like a gentleman. It is not worth while going
there with less than £6o—that lasts me about a fortnight.
Being a topsawyer at the top of my profession, you know I
cm make that sum in six weeks. I thus work like a luau
for nine months of the yer-, and live the other three like a
gentleman. If I meet my master in town, I look him fairly
in the face ; why shouldn't I ? Aint 1 as good as he ? I
owe him nothing, and he owee me nothing; I have done
my work, and he has paid me for it, so there's an end of
the matter. What should Idoif I were sick ? Why, go
to the hospital, to be sure. But I never have been sick, and
dont mean to be; it is not in our line. It wouldnt pay on
no account. Oh yes, I suppose I shall die some day, but
then I wont make a long job of it, There will be no occasion
to call the doctor or send for the nurse. I'll be crushed by
a tree, or drowned in the river, the same as other sawyers.
Neither my father nor my grandfather died in their beds, and
I dont expect to either. When 1 die my comrades will
bury me beneath a kauri tree, and the world will jog on
as before. I dont bother my head about the rest ; I suppose
I shall fare as well as others. I have lots of poor relations
in England, but they have no claim on me. They never did
e-ayth'ng for me, and why should I do anything for them ?
