[Illustration: _Recruit._ "Aw--I say Sergeant--I'm afraid this horse is
a bit too tall for me."

_Sergeant_ (_old school_). "Oh! And does the _colour_ suit you, Sir?"]

The Charge of the Six Hundred.

Some three-score years or so ago six hundred gallant men
Made a charge that cost old England dear, they lost four hundred then;
To-day six hundred make a charge that costs the country dear,
But now they take four hundred each--four hundred pounds a year.

"Somebody to steal of my cabbage, cauliflower, old potato, new
potato, and a small rake and hooks, fork. Everything. Somebody
snatch on Thursday and Saturday night. Perhaps anybody to see
the steal man to take something from my garden to tell me about
that is I will reward five pounds truth, L3 for tell-tale.--Wong
Long."

_Poverty Bay Herald._

Wong Long apparently differs from the accepted authorities as to the
value of hearsay evidence.
