There She Blows.

Ito tse xpitor,* Sts,—Only a poor six months more and we'll nai>e our breakwater completed—so far, /'The teeth o* time may gnaw Young Nick's Head, But the breakwater stands for ever I” Its a grand work, aye, so it is. Everything considered it’s cheap; even a bargain. Can you tell, a|r, wjtsn is the eight hundred pounder, air, going down to see that ahe la safe on her lege? That’ll be a whole holiday I She'a got blow holes j but that's made and provided for by Sir J. Goode and by the natural courses of things, isn't It! The blow-vents ease off the dynamics of the business, you know, Man-holes! I hear you say I sir; but I say no, sir ; a little more putty and glue would have stopped the vent until the job was jobbed over to the proud Harbor Board. But a bridge designed after the elegant structure over tha Turanganui would be a feature in the burtt breakwater, making It more picture-a skew i to be sure oockie, it would ; so I think I hear yon say, air. P.B.—Doyon ever go a dynamiting, sir? I mean no offence, sir, but if yon were down by the bloekyard when that fun is going on opposite tbe other breakwater you'd get a kit of cheap fishes—tue taxpayers don't mind, sir, it's Allie the day s «.,k.—Yours, etc., WhUHEWIi,
