After considering the matterin all its details, I told him the result of my deliberations, and he opened his eyes a little wider with amazemeut, and said ;â€" ‘ Do you think so. really 9’ I said that 1 really did. Another long pause, and just as it struck me that he was going to sleep, and likely to pitch ofl his chair on to the smallest boy’s box that 1 had ever seen. he saidâ€" Our conversation was disconnect- ed and terse. The following was the dialogue that ensued between us, with an interval of about. lliree minutes and a half before either committed himself to a reply. ‘ What's your name 1’ ‘Joe Simmons.

I wa's eleven years of age, and Tito I learned after- wards was ten. 1 was a thin. gaw- ky. bulletâ€"headed youth for'my age. Tito was big and plump, with a dark skin, black curly hair, a nose that young ladies, I believe call “tiublzy,” and two little bead-like eyes which roiled a great deal in his head, and somewhat alarmed me after my father had shut me in with him. Mr. Price was not a rich man: indeed report said that owing to indiscreet investments in public companies, he had lost the' little that he had managed to save, before his own large familyâ€"twelve “grown-ups" sat down todinne'r every day of their lives, and there were fcmr hays under fourtvcn in the school Itself~prevemed him putting anything more by for a rainy day. Still, looking back,i am dispOsed to think that this was a good schooLâ€"an old-fashioned school per. haps, but where the master woxked ‘ltard in the midst of his boys. lcrammed no particular clique to the ldetriment of the rest, 12nd at least did his best and he was a clever man in hls wayâ€"~10 give us a sound English education. As a start in a boy’s life,possibly not as a finishing school, Belvmr House was particu- larly suitable ; and as the situation was healthy, the terms low, and the master well known as a man kind to his pupils and interested in his‘ profession, Mr. Price had always ‘ some sixty or seventy boys beneath his care. *‘ lermsi” There were no extras, ’lhere was not a. resident mathe- matical masler, and the principal himselflaught us all the French he knew, and left the pmnounciation a great deal to our tastes. class, high-priced, high-pressdre seminary, when I arrived at that ob~ jectionable age which necessitated mv becoming a nuisance at home to my parents, and to all my little brothers and sisters..

It was, indeed, rather 'an unlashionable school; the pupils were not highly trained. and were never “ civily examined' and the master had not thought of deposing “quarters” and taking to You are all aware that my first school was not a fashionable aca- demy for young gentlemen.

The usherâ€"MnBanstock was his name-sat down and tried to rea- son with Tito, but with very little effect. He told him that he would soon get used to the change; that he was keeping the other boys awake; that Joseph Simmons, from Rigate, was not crying; that Mr. Price would be very crossif he heard him; and that he himself who was a martyr to rheumatism, would be laid up in the morning it he sat there any longer. But Tito continued to cry, and to make desperate attempts to snll'ooate him~ selfjfi-with the bedding, until Mr. Buinstock, as it appeared to me very improperly, proposed that he should return home by the first train in the morning. ‘N-n no. sir, he wouldâ€"would n’t. He’s too-too-too lb-ond of I believe thatl said. ‘Thank you, sir ;’ and after he had shaken hands with me he took Tito up in his arms, kissed him once or twice, and then marched with his head very erect out of the room, followed, lafter adieux had been exchanged, by my father. This was my first introduction to Be voir House, and when Mr. Price had taken a a hand of each, and led us into the playground, the ordeal of the great changq was 'eompleted. and we were at. home before the night had fallen on our new world. 1 do not know that Tito was quite at home, although he had been lively in the play-ground, and had laughed a littleâ€"and a very {at laugh he had too, which made one laugh to hear itâ€"lor when we in ‘dormitory six,’ somebody began crying in the night, and the Junior usher, who slept in a large crib in the corner, sat. up in bed, and asked who was making that noise, but getting no answer save muliled sobs and strange effervescent sonnds, as of a youth in the agonies of strangula- tion. he lighted a candle, and came shivering along the line of iron hed~ steads until he found Tito, with his mouth full of sheet and blanket, crying all over his clean pillow- case. , 'Now then, Zalez, what’s the matter ?’ ‘Oh, please, sir, I wa-a~nt to go hoâ€"o-o-ome.’ l ‘ Go home 9’ said the usher, kind» ly ; ‘ why? vou’ve only just come. Besides, see how cross your falher would be after all the trouble he has taken. ‘You andTito begin life together.‘ he said with a strong foreign ac- cent, ‘ and will have your way to fight together. Tito is younger than you, and you must not let the big boys bounceâ€"1 think you boys call it ' bounce’ over him too much.

I looked at Tim's father and was greatly impres::<ed by him at first‘ sight, and though exceedingly flattcred by his notice, secretly wished that he would have stared at me a little less. He was a tall, thin man, with a long grey mous- tache, and with a face very sallow and wrinkledâ€"sogeamed and knot- ty :1 face that it reminded me at once of the carved knob of an ecâ€" centric walkingstick which belong- ed to my grandfather, and was treasured by my father for old associations’s sake as well as for its ugliness. He came to me alter he had shaken hands with Mr. Price. He was a. very curious boy, or else he was anxiousto show nifthat afternoon, and impress me wilh his importance, knowing that my ques- tions were sunply an echo of his own. - ‘ Where did you come from 1’ ' Reigale.’ Of courselasked him where he came from, and he said London.

At the end of three monthsColonel Zalez called. We knew by that time that Tito’s father was or had been a Colonel somewhere, and we felt that he would have greatly obliged the boys of Belvoir House by coming to see his son in full regimentals. I remember that he entered the playground one Saturday afternoon, and that Tito suddenly give a- scream of delight, broke a window of the sehoolroom with his elbow in his [taste to lead down from the sill on which he and 1 had placed our- selves,and went with a mad plunge at his fathers’s long legs. Tim and l were firm friends be- fore the first quarter had expired, for he did not go home in the morn- ing, but had a little talk with Mr. Price in the ante-room again, and came out more composed in. mind aiier the master’s genile reasoning, and very red round the eve-lids, like a rabbit.

Mr. Banstock asked no more questions, but went back to lHS bed, where I heard him tumbling about restlesslv, with all the sleep clean ‘out of him, for hqu an hour after- 1wards. Once I heard him gay, ‘ Poor little chap!’ but when I ventured to look over the bedclothes and say, ‘ Did you speak, sir ?’ he told me very sharply to hold my tongue, and that if I did not mind he would give me three cube-mots in the morning.

I DUNDAS STREET. This road, except a portion to the east lof the Humber river, through What is ‘generally called “ The Plains” (and the' larger bridges.) is in as good state of re- pair as Yonge Street. Many of the 0111-- Verts were removed last season, and others cleaned out. The Superintendent esti- mates the cost of a new wroughtriron- girder bridge for the Humber, in this locality, at $5,980. The weight of the bridge would be 46 tons. It would carry a weight of 34 tons. A wooden bridge might be built according to the design for $2,550. He calculates that the outlay of $360 would increase the strength of the wooden bridge to that of the Wrought~ iron structure; and infers that the in; terest at 6 per cent, per annum in the excess in the cost of a permanent im- provement like a wrought-iron girder bridge, over a wooden one of a similar nature and strength, would erect a. wood- en bridge every sixteen years. The bridge This report is giren in detail, and is ofgrett length. \Ve append an epitome of the most interesting portion of-it:~â€"â€" YONGE STREET ROAD} The superintendent says that the Yonge street road has not been in as go ,d repair for the past 15 or ‘20 years. e notices that the retaining wall, necessary to pre- vent the embankment in front of Severn’s brewery being washed away, requires atâ€" tention. as the culvert has commenced, and would continue, to full in. The stone culverts on this, as well as on the other roads, required some repairs in the shape of copings. The bridge over the western branch of the Don, at York Mills, would soon require repairs. A new bridge had been commenced over the eastern branch‘ of the Don, at Thornhill, but up to Octo- ber, all that had been done was to enact the superstructure. The commissioners: on county property ordered the discon- tinuance of the work, and relieved the: contractor of his contract. This bridge would therefore require immediate atten- tion in order to its completion next spring. The hill to the north of this bridge re- quired some change in order to lessen the grade. The Aurora bridge and culvert had been permanently repaired. It was stroneg recommended that toll-gate No. 5 on this street be removed to the north' side of the side road, and north of the‘ Northern Railway crossing, as many teams from the east and west come out of these roads and go to Aurora without paying toll. Mr. Britten, seconded by Mr. Muney, moved in amendment that the sum ofl‘ $50 be struck out, and $40 inserted there-: for â€"Lost on a division. The by-law was then adopted, and read? a third time and passed; PRINTING.- , The Committee on printing presented2 a report in which they recommended that Chewett & 00. be instructed to prepare ar- number of sheets for blank assessment and collector’s rolls, notices and assessor’s" guides for the various municipalities. ‘ YORK ROADS. I On motion of Mr. Playter, the Council“ went into Committee of the whole on the" report of the superintendent of the York . Roads, Mr. Arnold in the chair. The ‘ : Committee then rose and obtained leaveeM- 1‘ to sit again. H The motion that the sum be fixed at $50 carried, whereupon the Committee rose, and reported the adoption of the by:law. The \Vavrden explained occupied in all some three weeks, and he tl10ught less than $50 ought not. to- be gweu. A debate ensued on” th'e question. of,‘ the remuneration to be p? u I itors. A proposition was made that they eceive $60 each, and to this the’re as an amendment that the sum be fixe ’ $.35”: aniphen again that it be reduoéii to $401”.
