long lane, where there were few footprints
except the little ones that Idikey's feet had
made, to the small, low house that had stood
tenantless fur a lcmg time. It was so old
and ruinous, and he knew the people who
lived they mast ho very poor, and lie felt
grieved it:Oils
,childish heart that ho had
neglected the forlorn little scholar so long.
lie was already in hie place when Charles
entered the school room, sitting by himself,
as ha always did, and Charles went up to
him a little timidly, hardly knowing what
to any to open an acquaintance.
"Won't you come out at noon upon the
ice? I have a pair of now skate% en , l n

all over.

very heartily. "1 would love to rido on
your sled ; I never learned to skate. lint

went, up to the teachers desk a little reluc

Ifstrexasr.—The Waterford (Ireland) trod
reports an extraordinary action brought by
a coach budder of that city named Lawler.
It appears that Mr Lawler was desirous of
,sending a specimen of his workmanship to
the Dublin Exhibition, and instead of pia-.
cing it in a dray and ending to the terentnuis
ho had it drawn by men. When it arri eed
at the bridge the question arose, what should
be paid( It was a four-wheeled carriage,
but it was not drawn by horses, asses,
bullocks, or other animals. Here was
►poser. The only table in the schedule of
tolls Tres fur a carriage drawn any other
way. Mr. Lawler tendered the money,
and considered this should have cleared the
mearaho drellethe ea'rriage, 1) bile the les
see of the bridge hold that these men were
foot passengers, and should pay in addition.
The toll taker insisted on his view, and
compelled Mr. Lawler to pay one half penny,
for, which en segos mast leronght' by'
Lawler in one case to recover a penalty of
five pounds for overcharge of telt, and the
magistrates decided in his favor. From
thot decision the Bridge Commissioners
appealed, and after argument of counsel on
both sides the Court affirmed the decrees,
with costs. It is surmised that the coat in
the Magistrates, and Sessions Court will
not be less than ten pounds ; or with the
penalty, it will cost the Bridge..Ceectuittision
ers fifteen ehilliwg sterling a year tore rtr
on account of one half penny.
