Thames street the necessity ofemploying some
one to water the street during the summer
1t can be done at small expence, and if all

Dry Good dealers, as the clouds of dust con-

we can have this very desirable and important

SPLITTING THE DIFFERENcE.-A nice
young man, not thousand miles from this
place after long and assiduous courtship,
found himself one bright evening, the betreth-
ed of very pretty girl, the very pink ofmol-
esty. One night he was about to take his de-
parture, and after lingering about the door
for some lime, in fdget Of anxiety, declared
and protested to Miss Nancy, that he could
not and he would not leave her until she kiss
ed him. OF course, Miss Nancy blushed beau
ilfully red, and protested in turn, that she
could not and would not do that. She had
never done such thing, and never would,
until she was married, so now he had it,
The alteration became deep and exciting, un-
til the betrothed buffed outright, and declared
if he couldn't kiss her he wouldn't have her
and was marching of. She watchei him TO
the gate, and saw, " the fat was in the fire"
unless something was done.
Come back, them said she coaxingly, "

squeeze my hand ~

NEWPORT We made visit to the old
town Of Newport, on Saturday, going down
the Bay in company with Nj. Norman, one
of the publishers OF The Newport Daily News
AS the fine steamer Perry glided rapidly
down the Bay, we threw off our cares, anc
gave ourselves up TO the agreeable quiet st
necessary for the health, when one is orery
day busy AMI active with the cares and duties
of life. The fine steamer Perry landed u;
at Newport jast a.ier leaving her two hours
wharf in this city.
Ne~por, is much larger place than the
stranger imagines. 1t has fine churches and
other public buildings and several splendid
public houses, which make it a very interest
ing place of resort for thousands of persons
from all parts of the country, for health, pleas
ure and sport. Its old buildings and numer-
Gus rclica of olden times, make the visitor feel
that he is in the presence OF generations long
since passed away
The people of this town, are highly indus
,rious intelligent and no pitabIe. One loves
to linger here, and look up to " higher lands
as the twilight darkcns and looks out from
its shores as the sun comes riding up in It's
golden chariot over the " deep blue sea-
With all the beauties and venerabl, at
fractions of this ancient town. its people are
afflicted by the evil and curse of intemperance.
Much of the influence Of the foreign multi
tudes who in the summer, food this far spot
has deadly effect upon the morals Of many
OF the resident citizens.
This town is visited every summer by a
grca, variety of jobbcrs in all sorts of trades
who with great buster and show, compete
sadly with the citizen tradesmcn. The rights
of the citizens who struggle on through the
dull part of the year should bo protected
against these struggling spectators We
arc pleased TO see our esteemed friend, the
editor OF the News, coming to the rescue on
this sub Get. lie shows his readers that these
spectators arc humbugging tho Newport
people with miserable unsaleabc goods thrown
aside in large cities. Our nelehbor takes the
right ground when he shows the citizen that
he is morally under obligation To shun these
itincrani spectators and stick by their fast
friends, tho ,radesmen, who favor them
through the winter and th hard times as well
as lhc sunny sca'on Of their prosperity
Large numbers ofthc people here profess
much anti-slaycry, bu, the number Of Free
Soil mon is necessarily small under the pecul-
iarsouihcrn Influences with which they are
annually visited Tho few who are found
here are made Of stern stuff, and constitute a
lcaven which will not fail in tho end to ac-
complish great amount Of good.
On tho WHOLE our yi.it to Newport, and Ic.
turn IN the iino steamer Perry, has been ex-
cscdngly pleasant, and We hope to repeat 1t
a, no distant day.--Troc. Hou,ctT'.
