Hello!
Captain Kelly? DO you mean
"Eliza's" young man? OF course.
He is agoing TO invite public propo-
sails for the construction of wig.
Don't give it away, but put in a bid.
What?
Wasn't what curious?
o, the coaling of the Mariposa on
Sunday. No, l don't think so. No,
the laws do not absolutely forbid it.
You think the laws should be so.
Bosh! that is only one of the entic-
ing fictions of your imagination, but
absolutely rot. But, you are right,
that the making Of laws and their
execution are two entirely different
things. Laws are presumed to be
made for all, but the greater part OF
them are executed for the benefit of
the few. A poor man desecrating
the Sabbath when forbidden would
soon feel the stern hand of the out
ragged law, but wealthy and infu-
entail one, the minions of the law
forgetful of her outrage would hold
back the stern hand. But such is
the worlds history. Religion and
laws become but the catspaw to Sc
cure chesnuts for designing men.
To the poor the law makes the way
of transgression extremely hard, but
to the rich and powerful it is as a
roadway strewn with flowers. All,
my boy, even though the mode of
the laws execution be rot, there are
but two ways of remcdy-either
close your eyes and steep your brain
in forgetfulness, or else execute the
laws dishonest executioners.
What?
Did / see the barbecue at the
Cummins' races on Saturday.? Yes ;
but then my friend, Mrs. Parting
ton once remarked when attending
similar entertainment, that All
right, 1 will say no more, but those
who know the lady can imagine how
she covered the whole question.
What?
Well no, Fred was about the mad
dest mad man l ever met. Poor
fellow, he got thrown out of Court,
bag and baggage, because, as he
says, his legal advisers were dire
lect in their duty, did not down
brakes in time. Tell Fred when
you see him it was only a case of
asleep on the switch, which proba-
badly can be remedied by the en-
ployment of new switchman.
Those who love the law shall die by
the law.
Hello!
Certainly. shall go to the meet
ing of the Academy of Music Oh
Friday. What do think of the
scheme? From charitable stand
point l think it rather good, but
from cold, logical standpoint / am
afraid. The people here are of the
born lazy set, and will not, though
they love music and its art, be in.
duced to forgo their Lothian habits
to rehearse sufficiently to ensue q
successful attempt to find "Israel ir
Egypt" Such attempts can only be
made successful by the hardest kin6
of work. and the people of these isl
ands in that line of enterprise, are
not ready to grasp the Hydra-head'
ed monster by the hand.
What do think of the modern
''Hank Monk" of the Pantheon Sta
bles? Why, am more than aston
ished, that business men, and pre-
sumably careful ones like the Pan
ttheOn rulers, should trust the pre-
cious lives of so many people, in I
coach, the ribbons of the flyers being
held by the hands of a mere youth
who at his best, is scarcely able Il
hold taut the ribbons over one PAGER
1t is quite reprehensible, intended
for joke may be, but such joke
are just practicable enough to b'
classed as malicious mischief
