hai IS worthy Of record. Itis as follows.
"A couple Of fresh emirlants ,hon the hand of
sweet Erin were travelling to Cambridge, and find
'lna as they approached the bridge that the twain
had butonecent between them, they sci themselves
to workto coptrive how they shoald pass the toll
gate wIill only 20 per cent Of the requisite funds
At length Il was resolved that they should part
eonnpany-one lingering behind while the other
went forward 70 confer with Mr.. brown the gates
keeper, and see what could be doae Ritn him IN
the way Of bargain or compromise. faiiay' on ar
irving at the gate, with his polliest bow, asked MI
Brown at what price he cauld be allowed 70 pass
over the bridge. On being told that one cent. and
no less was The rate for each foot passenger, as
sanctioned by the law d The Common wealth, he
after little hesiiaiieRs inquired what amount OF
baggage passengers were l0'ssa 70 taAs WIN tlein.
He was informed that be might take any thing he
4 could carry, except 1ehsslbauoggO OF handuart;
and without further palicy, he turned and left Mr.
Brown 70 deaf with numerous other passers, who
were accustomed q pay the stated tax upon travel
las without asAHr any questions, though not
probabiv without 4 secret wish that the time had
come in which ne bridge IS. 10 be free. In few
minutes Paddy raappaaged with his ieow-traveler
mounted upon bis shoulders the regular boost
buck style. He ggasely deposited the legal toll
Tor single passeRger, and walked on to deposit
his baggage upon terra frTna, al the other end Of
the bridge which, being in Mliddesex, is now free
soil The spectators Of this interesting scene were
quite unanimous in the opinion that the travellers
had come The Paddy over the tol-gatherer while
tIal worthy diEnitafy himself did not hesitate to
