' But no occupier is liable to contribute to any fence which is not, u far as practicable, oon*inuoas throughout its length. THE RULES OF THE ifcOAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driving your carriage along, If you boar to the left you are dure to go right, If you turn to tho ripht you go wrong. But in walking the streets 'tis a different case; To the right it is right wou shoald steer, On . the left should bo left onough of clear space Foi the people .vho wish to walk there. LEGAL TENDER.
