Fusileer.’ Badger looked fairly bamboozled. ‘Eh ? what? Nonsense! Dammel it was old Timbrel, and 1 saw you at his house with my own blessed eyes. 1 did. Eh, Jemima ? ‘Certainly,’ said Mrs. Badger, ‘it was Mr. Timbrel who asked us to pay any little civility we could to Captain Bur- ridge.’ _ ‘Exactly; but 1’m not Captain Bar- ridgeâ€"l’m a Scotch impostor.’ There was a momentary silence, and then a shout of laughter, in which 1 myself joined. . ‘Well, well, well,’ continued Badger, ‘ what does it mean? If he’s a Scotch impostor, Jemima, you had better count the spoons,’ and again Badger was overâ€" come with mirth. Seeing that the humor of the thing tickled the company, 1 continued plying our host in a seriO-coniic way, and at last told him how matters really stood. Whereupon the mirth was redoubled, and, when it subsided, old Badger heartily gave me his hand, and clapped me on the back, sayingâ€" ‘Well, it’s been my very good luck, I'm sure, to make your acquaintance, and 1 hope you’ll consider it all the same as a regular introduction, and come and see us often again, if our bad dinner hasn’t frightened you; but, Lord bless us! when 1 think of it, it nearly kills me.

It will be recollected that the parties came to this city from the vicinity of Guelph, and asked admittance to the hosâ€" pital, as being too poor to pay for their bed. Mr. Ilouslead refused to send them as city patients. and wrote the following letter to Dr. Herod, Mayor of Guelph :â€"â€"- TORONTO, 9th March, 1809. Dr. Herod, Mayor of Guelgh: DEAR SIR: As you have been kind enouth to send three of your poor people to lhis city, and gave them to understand that two of them would be admitted to the hospital here, you will please send guarantee, at least, for one. Mr. W. McLeary, admitted today, and oblige. Yours truly, J. B. IIOL’STEAD, Chairman Board of health. To this, Dr. Herod made the following reply: J. B. Boustead, Esq, Chairman Board Of Health, Toronto. DEAR SIR: I beg to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your communication of the 0th insureferring to my kindness in sending three of Our-poorpcoplc to your city, asking for a guarantee at least for one, Mr. McLenry. I beg to state that I have never sent one to your city since I have been an incumbent of the office, and never led them to understand wishing to be neighborly, but somehow one puts these things olfâ€" and now this will be a rare excuse. 1’11 call on him tomorrow morning and make your apo- logiespand tell him the fun ; and 1’11 tell you what, we’ll have some more fun ; 1’11 ask Lewis to come and dine, and you must come, and we’ll get this other Cap- tain to come the same day, and we‘ll compare notes. What a lark 1 and you re really so like; but 1 see it myself, bless me! ha, ha, hal capital ! We’ll have to ticket you, by Jove 1 like port and sherry. You‘ll cut in for a rubber, won’t you ? you're not afraid of being arrested as an imposotor, eh i" ' ‘ Oh no 1’ ,1 re lied ' ‘ 1 would have no fears in sue a ,0» ) 11 I were one; but It is late, and 1 must be getting back to camp. My trap has been here for some time ; ’ for a servant had twice announced its arrival, and, on the second occasion appeared to be strug- gling with a strong inclination to laugh, which 1 had no doubt was inspired by some vagaries on the part of Jack Leslie, whom it would be prudent to get Off the premises on as soon as possible. ‘ God bless me 1 what’s that ?’ exclaimed Badger. as the tones of a key-bugle, sounding ‘the alarm,’ ‘the assembly,’ ‘lhe advance,’ and ‘lhe double,’ burst through the window in rapid succession. ‘ What can it be ‘2’ said every one. ' I knew very well what it was. Jack was intensely practising the instrument in ques- tion at that time, and was used, when he went off for an afternoon’s ‘ out,’ as he call ed it, to take the bugle with him for undis- turbed practice in solitary places. Now the graceless wretch, being impatient, was un- doubtedly using it as a fulcrum for my re- moval from the festive scene. ' ‘I know whrl it is,’ I said; but after so many extraordinary things I daren’t tell the Inked truth. ‘ I’ts my fellow; thcscoundrel has got tipsy at the inn. no doubt, and he's musically inclined, and constantly carries that key-bugle about with him, rind hc is making the noise. I am afraid ; so I will get him awav as quickly as I can. Good-night. Mrs. Badger; good-night, Lady lose; I hope I shallâ€"I hope I shall have theâ€"the ~good night; and I dashed on to the stair- case, followed by my host. ‘Druuk, did you say ?’ he inquired, ‘I’m afraid so,’ I replied. ‘ God bless mel I hope he hasn’t been over my borders with his wheels.’ ‘Oh nol he’s pretty steady, even when he’s much in liquor.’ ‘ Well, that is a thing I never could stand -â€"a drpnken groom. Take my advice and send him to the lock up at once.’ / By this time We had reached the hall-door, and were saluted with a cry from the outer darkness,â€" ‘ Now, then, stoopid, air you coming?’ This w as too much for M , B do , bamed (mt,â€" r a Dper, and he ’ ‘Yes, we’re coming, you scoundrel; and I ve just been advnsmg your master to send you to the lockvup.’ ‘Lock 11 our ‘aw old C l' l ’ - spondcd Jablny J ’ aims 1, re ‘Silence, John! ’ I thundered. ‘ Oh i. you really ought to have him lock- ed‘up,’ implored Mr. Badger. ‘James and William can run him down in a twinkling”- say the word and it’s done.’ a 7 ‘ Clear your throat, you old bloater,’ cried Jack; and indeed the Old gentleman was husky With excitement. ‘ Oh, this is monstrousl cried Badger. At all events, let me beseech you not to let him drive.’ ‘ Oh, that I won’t,’ I said, springing onto the step. ‘ No man drives my mare but myself,’ said Jack shownig fight, and clutching the reins. _ ‘ We'll see about that,’ Isaid; and wrest- ling the reins from him, after a. short tussle, I drove off at a canter. ‘MIND Tun ARAUCARIA 1’ Budger’s last good night. Jack was, as I expected, decidedly tipsy, . and not a little savage at my usurpation of- the ribbons. ‘ You’re a. nice fellow,’ he said, ‘to oblige - â€"running ofl‘ with a fellow’s mare and t l like that.’ mp This was the that they would be admitted into the Hospi- tal. In the case of McCenry, the only one I have ever given a pass to. the particulars are these :â€"He and his brother’s family have very lately arrived in Guelph. It appears he is laboring under a form of insanity, and es- caped from his people, walking through the country without shoes or stockings. The consequence was he got his feet frozen. lie was committed by the Police Magistrate to gaol as a lunatic; and would have been there now; but his brother insisted upon his re- lease, and promised to take care of him. I had lost sight ofhim for some time. On Mon- day last his sister-in law came and asked if I would give Meleary and her a. pass to To- ronto, as they had agreed to get him into the Hospital. 1 then told her they would have to pay for him whilst in the Hospital, which seemed perfectly satisfactory to her, and I 1 I w ' I gave the pass, as she represented to for their fares to Toronto would take away a large portion of the money they had set apart to pay expenses whilst in the Hospital. Under these circumstances, and considering that he has no more claim upon the town of Guelph than he has on the city of Toronto, I cannot agree to guarantee his expenses to be borne by this municipality whilst in To- ronto Hospital. Ihope this explanation will clear me from the imputation of having been so kind as to send our poor people to your city for admmittance into your city Hospital. When I do send them you may rest assured they will be accompanied by the necessary guarantee for their admittance. Yours truly, GEORGE S. HEROD, Mayor. Enquiries made in the city since show that the parties were in moderatelv good circumstances, but anxious, if possible. to saddle the expenses of the brother’s main- tuinance elsewhere. After failing in obtain ing his admission into the hospital, it is sup- posed that the brother and his wife left the man on the street, as he was found shoitlv afterwards in a halflbenumbed state on Yonge St, and taken to gaol the same P.1d. About tthe some time the brother and wife left for Portland, having at least succeeded in leav- ing the unfortuinitc man here, if they did not secure his admission into the hospital. ARIERIGAN NEWS.

For some time past, the metropolitan cleargrit press, including the beagles or country locals of the same persuasion, have been in full cry after the premier of Ontario ; the tally~ho of the Globe has brought the whole kennel out, yelping themselves hoarse by their feeble imitation of the stage thunder of Mr. Brown’s organ. It is amusing, or rather, disgust- ing, to witness how the local press throughout the countryti y to imitate their leader. The Globe, in its anxiety to iii- jurc Mr. J, Saudfield Maedonald, abuses Mâ€"W Provinces, that no answer has been returned by the Legislative Assembly to your graCIous Speech from the Throne." Mr. J. S. Macdonald was appointed Attorney-General in 1858, and after- wards formed a government with Mr. Sicotte, and subsequently,Mr. A. A. Dorion. During the Macdonald-Sieotte and Macdonald~Dorion administrations, we had economical government; and at no period in the history of Canadian politics were the interests of the people more carefully guarded, than during the two years which the Hon. J. S.Macd0nald ruled as Premier of United Canada. It requires no argument to show that, since . . l .

These gentlemen, therefore. received the contracts. The Higland Creek bridge is to be 40 feet span by 18 feet wide, with abutmeuts 6 feet ;thick at the upper end and 8 feet thick at the base. One of the abutments is to be 30% feet highjand the other 28% feet, and will have wing walls ex lending a. distance of 19 feet on each side of the upper edge. Tlie‘trusses will be encased in inch boards, and will have on the top a coping Of twoinch plank to protect them from the weather. The bolts are so arranged that the nuts can be screwed up from the upper side of the trusses. At the Humber, a new abutment 20 feet long,r by 8 feet thick at the base, and 6 feet at the top, will have to be built in the middle of the river, with a Starling at each end, and an ice breaker on the upper stream sterling. The bridge will consist oftwo spans, each 461‘; feet long, with trusses the same as those on the Highland Creek bridge. Tenders were also received for the building of a retaining wall Opposite the brewery at Yorkvillc. The contract was let to Mr. W. Booth at $385 per cubic foot; he has initiated the new provincial govâ€" ernment, he has made‘ it his specialty to manage the affairs of the country on economical principles; he is as careful in the expenditure-bf the public money, as he would be of his own. The great mass of the people of Ontdirip believe that J. S. Macdonald is the ri ‘ t man in the him soundly for going to South Ontario, feels the fumed, thenmmkzr‘s argu??&gt§ and seeing that they were well received, he must do something to act as an anti- dote; forthwith the premier is abused, and called nambs, all of which is re-cchoed by those whose highest ambition is to bask in the smiles of their leader, if he will but condescend to copy a small paragraph from them, they are elated, -aud further encouraged to keep on their course, and they do not fail to meet his wishes. These unhappy discontents do not pretend to show wherein Mr. Mac douald has been unfaithful in the dis- charge of his duty, as a representative of the people; or that, as a minister, he has not consulted the public interest in bringing forward measures that are ad- vantageous to the Province ; it is simply because he to follow in Mr. Brown’s wake, and submitto the dictation of the Globe; hence arises all the clamorâ€"the very head and front of his offending. It is useless for the Globe and his small followers to persevere in this line of policy : they must deal with facts, and show that the. course pursued by Mr. Macdonuld is injurious to the interests of the Province; -tli:it he has wasted the public treasure, and introduced measures and made laws subversive ofour freedom. In the absence of such arguments, the Globe is reduced to the strait of the law- yer who advised his counsel that he had “ no case â€"â€" abuse the plaintiff’s at- torney.” IVc have no hesitation in say- ing, that there is not another public man now living and enjoying a seat in our provincial ,lcgislatureâ€"or, perhaps, House of Commons- who has as favour- able a record as the Premiei of Ontario; refuses .. .. v . .‘ party, with Mr. Brown as dictator.

PROPERVINSTRUCTION.â€"Tlle right instruc- tion of girls is much neglected. Even in some of the best schools, showy acquire- ments are preferred to real knowledge. A. lady who has written upon this subject makes some sensible observations upon the varie~ ties of character and the different modes of treatment they require. After remarking that in striving to destroy a fault we should be careful not to overlook the virtue that may accompany it, she says :â€"“An impul- sive, rash, self-confident character is also active and energetic. A selfish, over-care- ful disposition, contains the germs of pru- dence. An indolent character is usually gentle, and unwilling to accept any provo- cation. A jealous temper is an affectionate one. Vanity is the exaggeration Ofan amia- ble desire to please. 1 And the reason why so much good advice, or advice which is meant to be good, is received so badly by those to whom it is offered, very Often is, thatin touching the fault.the virtue is touched also; and then the natural instinct of self. defence exhibits itself in the form of an ex- cuse.
