An exchange thus touches up class

Of newspaper subscribers :
"There is no difference between the man
who enters your premises at midnight and robs
you of your money, and the man who takes
newspaper for year or two and then removes
to another locality without paying mp arrear
ages or even informing the editor of his
whereabouts. If there is any difference the
latter is the greatest scoundrel of the two"
And we think the exchange is about
right.

The Newport Bridge.-The new bridge
at Newport is approaching its COM
pletion, though the contractor has had
several little experiences. On one occa-
sion the Commissioners having objected
to some material that was put into the
piers, the contractor got angry and
discharged his hands, refusing to COM
plete his work. The Commissioners
thought the bondsmen would if he did
not, and the contractor on second
thought took the same view of the case
and hired his hands again. On another
occasion the masons struck on account
of non payment of wages, but the matter
was satisfactorily arranged and they
went to work again. 1t is expected the
bridge will be ready for public use by
the middle of December.

certainly most graceful and charming

pressed, without words, deep admira.

snow. Captain Crosby looked at her.

81 am Immensely pleased to hear it, u

His want of home and connections did
not seem to have any effect on his
spirits; there was free, frank, light
heartedness about him which made it
quite impossible to treat him with any
stiffness. A dangerous adventurer, GER
tainly, as Mrs Bushe had feared, and
she with her larger experience of men,
might not have felt Letitia's ready trust
in him.
Mrs. Barrett's ball was an amusing
subject to talk about. By the time they
reached the house the Generals daughter
and his aid-de-camp were on a footing Of
intimate acquaintance that Humphrey
Barrett might have hoped in vain to
reach W tn Miss Monktnn. sl.

CHAPTER III.
MRS. BARRETT's BALL,

Sir George Monkfon's carriage and
horses had a hard task in ploughine
through the snow in the billy lanes til t
led up to the Castle. The drive was
twice as long as usual, but the, people in
in carriage bore it patiently enough.
Even Letitia did not complain.
Captain Crosby, though perhaps he
hardly told himself go, would have been
quite happy to sit opposite her for any
number Of hours, as long as the lamp
light just shone on her face in such a
perfectly becoming manner. He had
admired her very much from the first,
but tonight she was lovelier than ever.
Cr4sby considered himself a great critic,
and when she had come down into the
drawing-room befo they started, he had
been at o.ce struck by the good taste
which had dressed her simply in white,
with quiet little ornaments that any girl
might have worn. Crosby was one of those
Irishmen who know the right thing in
stinciively when they see it, without anv
theories to found their knowledge on.
But people were not so much bothered
with theories in those days; they liked
and disiiked By instinct or tradition. In
some way Crosby was satisfied, and made
up his mind, perhaps presumptuously,
when one considers all the facts of the
case. He was turning over different
plans in his head as they sat in the car
riage, and was thereiure little more
silent than he had b en- before. ~
Letitia, herself, seemed to be in a won
derfpl state OF happy excitement, She
chatteredsaway almost faster xiM more
freely than Sir George approved; but
even he could not find it in hi, heart to
check her. So they arrived very cheer
fu ly at the Castle. v. .,~,r--
This was large square house ,.buiIt on
top Of Hill. The present Squire Bar
rett's i great-grandfather had lived there
in the remains Of an old castle on the
same site; but his son, a man Of more
enlightened mind, not being able to put
up with the ghosts, rats, and other incon-
veuiences that he fund there, pulled
it down and did away with it altogether,
and built a most satisfactory family
mansion in its place. One might have
hunted England over before one found
anything much squarer, uglier, and more
pfosaie; but the Barretis were good,
sensible old family, and their motto had
always been fuse before ornament" So
the present generation never complained
of their house, or did any thing but honor
their grandfather for having built it.
The carriage drew up ut broad fight
Of steps, covered with an awning. Sir
George and his aid-de-camp got
out at once. At Mrs. Barrett's
request they were bothin uni
form, and very well they l,oked.
Sir George gave his arm to Mrs. Bushe,
and took her into the house. Captain
Crosby had the happiness of following
with Letitia. r,.n
