Queen Street, Li 22 It was an English lettetyof course, lor Tito had been born and bred in England, and had seen no other country, and it was a very kind, fatherly, humorous kind of letter. full of hope in his return to Eng- land helore the next quarter was at an end, and of his anticipation of another holiday with his son and his little friend Simmons, if Sim- mons were still at Belvorr house. ] hoped that he would come back soon, and that a circus would be In the town at the time ; but the cir- cus came and went away again, and no Colonel Zalez appeared to keep his promise to us. ‘ He can't be fighting all this time, Tit,’ I said in mild remonstrance at Tim’s father's behavior; but Tito shook his head and said he wasn’t so sure of it. The quarter was past, and the second was approaching its termin- ation. Christmas was upon us again, we were talking evermore ofthe holidavs and home. Tito’s father was still absent, and Mr. Price regarded Tito very thought- fullv when the boy said his lesson to him. We went. away and left Tito at schoolâ€"«we came back and tound Tito there, looking somewhat pale. and his black school suit more than a trifle rusty. Tito told me cbnfidentially on my return that he had received no let- ter from his father. and that he had '9 holiday marked with a white stone in my calendar of recollectionsâ€"â€" bright, sunshiuy, ineflaceableâ€" â€" which, described to the boys after- v wards, rendered some ol them rav- ing mad with jealousv, and heaped Tito for the next three months with attentions that he could scarcely bear up against, the impression be- ) ing general that Tito’s father had 3 all little Titto's friends. determined to reward muniflcently We had buns and almond cakes at the pas- try cook's both in our best clothes; Tito in a new suit of black that his lather had brought with him. We went for a sail on the great calm sea before the sun went down ; we went back to the pastry-cook's and had tea, with buns and almond cakes ; we went for a drive in a hired fly before the horsemanship commenced. and Colonel Zalez lay back and smoked paper cioarettes so furiously that [ thought he would set himself on fire before the circus was opened'; we went back to the pastryâ€"cook’s, and had two bottles of lemonade, and some buns and almond cakes; we attended the perâ€" formance in the circus and saw wonders upon wonders, and scream- ed with laughter at the clowns, and ltliought it was oddâ€"at least] didâ€"- that the dark grim face which we looked up at when a good joke was uttered. did not change more he quently; we went back to the pas- try-cook’s to supper, and had buns and almond cakes, and weak sherry ‘ and water as a parting stimulant, ‘ and finally we were walking on tip~ toe through dormitory sixâ€"absent ‘ with leave fellows-looking down ‘ compasionately on boys who had been asleep for hours! It was a 1 great holiday ; it was the only one wt 1 ever had. with U, ~Lgu’hAt : Next ” hall ” Tito’s lather did not appear, and Mr. Price began to look anxious when Tito spoke of his papa; but at the beginning of the next quarter, when the Midsumâ€" mer holidavs Were over, a letter came from abroad that appeared to relieve our master's mind, and that contained a second episte, which Tito used to read to me and to him- self, until it became worn out by constant reference, and by being kept with his marbles.a pocket-knife and a pegtop. ,istmas, Tito’s father cumg‘fn a hurry to Mr. Price, settled the bill, and then went away again, leaving Tito behind him, after many em- braces, and much whispered ad- vice. lt began to be understood after he had departed. that Tito’s father was going abroadâ€"going to battle, Tito said, very proudlvâ€"and that Tito was to be lelt at school all through the Chrislmas holidays. We bade him good bve, and felt verv sorry for him, and my last glimpse of Flatborough-on-tlie-sea that “ half” was a curve in the em« bankment, a steep green lull, and Tito jumping about thereon and waving his handkerchief to me. That was a memorable holiday eclipsing the holiday last week which 1 had had with my father, who had not asked Tito to join us, as Tito’s father had asked me. A TITO’S TROUBLES. flimmm. ‘auu sim- tack »e in cir- 'ain, Li to ‘me, e at ‘l‘ito tsn’t Midsummer and the holidays came round, Tito was left at school, and Mr. Price’s blank look at the unclaimed one assumed several deâ€" grees more stoniness of aspeet.â€" Once more the busy hum of school, old pupils and neW'onesâ€"and Tito still on the establishment, and Tito's father nowhere. By degrees the story of the boy’s forlorn condition had found its way amongst the scholars, and Tito was pitied very much by the majority, and laughed at by a few of the thoughless ones, who thought it rare fun tor a boy - to have a father who had run away from him. Tito’s position was not an enviable one ; but he bore it pretty well, and only lretted to him . selfa little, and with not half the noise which he had made on that night when he had missed his father for four hours. I was his counsellor and his comforter, and l‘ kept up his hopes at last by strangei stories of various fathers and mo- thers’ returns after years of absence from their children, and was con- tinually ransacking story-books for parallel cases to his own. The high words at ail events ended in the suit of clothes being provided for poor Tim, who accom- panied us in our walks again, and looked forflle tall, sunburnt, grey- moustached man at the corner of every street we passed.' Tito became so very shabby after Lady-day that the master found ex- cuses to leave him at home when the boys went out for their airings or for their cricket matches. and finally one of our boys spoke posi- tively to a few high words he had heard exchanged between Mr. and Mrs. Price one evening, with refer- ence to the farmer’s suggestion that he though he should rtsk a suit of clothes for Tito. Lady-day quarter passed, bills were paid, and Tito waxing shab- bier and shabbier, and still wonder- ing why his father never wrote to him, got up every morning with a marvellous confidence in his par- ent’s coming to see him belore the day was out. Tito did not take a great deal into consideration the expense that he was to Mr. Price ; :he knew nothing of school bills, and Mr. Price was too tender-heart- ed a man to show his dissatisfac- tion to the child himself. Mr. Price was puzzled what to do with him, or how long he was to allow this to last. and he looked more thoughtfully at the small enigma every day, and could not see his way to a solution. One day Mr. Price went to London to the old town address of Colonel Zalez. and made many inquiries at his last lodgings, I learned afterwards also, and returned baffled at all points ; for Tito’s father had paid his bill and disappeared about nine months since, without leavlng a clue to his whereabouts. A telegram from‘ abroad had led to his sudden de- parture, it was elicited. and Col. Zalez packing up his boxes. and putting on his boots, probably more down at heel than ever, had depart- ed on his mission, whatever it was, to a foreign state, wherever that might be. 1 know now what ldtd not know in all it details then, that the Prices were becoming very anxious con- cerning the whereabouts oi Tito’s fatherâ€"that two quarters were in arrears that the extra keep during 'l‘ito’s holidays were added to the account, and that a third quarter had commenced. I knew alter- warde that Mr. Price had written to lan out-of-the-wav place in Central ‘America, where the Colonel had dated his last letter, and that no; answer had been returned ; that hel had written to a British consul andl elicited the information that no such person was known within his jurisdiction. and I heard Mr. Price speak once of civil wars and gen- eral political confusion. and of the fear that Colonel Zalez had disap- peared in a revolutionary vortex for even M. Teefy, Esq. to think it rather strange himself, and that he, Tito, was sure that they had been talking about, his papa, because theyr had spoken in whispers, and looked very much at him. 1 said that it must be fancy, and he tried to agree with me, but hoped that his papa would come to see him soon, for he was out of pocket money, and his wardrobe was in need of considerable repair. But Colonel Zalez never came, and‘ only Tito his son at last remained sangaine of his return. heard Mrs. Price say at dinner one day to Mr. Price, that she thought it very strange, and that Mr. Price had answered that he was inclined SIDNEY SMITH says, “ Brevity is in writ. ing what charlty is to all other virtues- Righteousness is worth nothing without the one, nor authorship without the other.

It had been arranged, and Mr. Price broke the news to him in as gentle a manner as he could. and wiped his own eyes once or twice surrepitiously with his pocket hand- kercheif. He told Tito he was not la rich man, and the school was the :support of himself and a large family, and that it was beyond his power to keep Tito any longer at his own expense. He had consulted with his solicitor, who had advised him to hand over Tito to the parish authorities of Flatborough, who would pass Tito over to the authori- ties ofthe district in London where ColZalez had resided lor many years He told Tito that the parish would use every exertion, and take far greater pains to find his father than he could do with a great school upon his mind, and that he was taking the best and surest means to put Tito in his father's hands once more. He had no doubt that the parish would treat Tito very well, and that Tito would be very happy ; but his auditor having his own opinion on this subject; went away far from comforted. His last enquiry wasâ€"- When is this to be, Mr. Price ? Oh. not this week, said the mas- ter assuringly, or the net. Not tlll Michaelmas, at any rate, Dear meâ€"how vexing-how very unfortunate. My poor Tito, I should like to speak to you toâ€"morrow about seven. [What are you doing cutof your place. Simmons P he asked, catching sight of me at last. I came to take care of Tito, sir. Six bad marks. l I knew that 1 should have them| ltherolore the promulgation of my leentence did not take me very much by surprise. Tito might have made matters worse by getting himseli into a scrape and intorming Mr. Price that he had asked me to leave my place with him, had not a look lrom me silenced one who had quite enongl: troubles of his own. Tito went the next morning to Mr. Price’s room, meeting Wickers by theway,who told him the masterand missus had been ‘at it’ again, and that Mrs. Price was sick of boys whose father never paid. Of the particulars of Tito’s conference with Mr. Price. these are the prin~ ciple, as detailed to me by Tito be- tween twelve and two. 1 would rather not say who told me, sir, it’s aIi about the school. If you please, sir, is it true that you are going to send me to the workhouse I Bless my soulâ€"whoâ€"who told you that, Tito 'f [ Tito stared, walked away trom him, and kept from the playground and his playfellows all day. In the evening he came to me when l was deep in geography and wrestling with ‘ principal towns,’ and whis- pared-â€" ‘ Joe, I want vou.’ ‘ What is it, Tit I’ ‘ You heard Wickers say that 1they were going to send me to the ‘ workhouse ?’ ‘Yesâ€"but I don’t believe it.’ ‘ I’m going to ask the master now â€"â€"come with me.’ , 0h, lor.’ , He’s at his desk there looking over the ‘ Themes,’ and I want you ; to hear what he says.’ ' Very. well.’ So I left my place at the emin- ent risk of getting six bad marks for inattention to my lessons, and went with Tito to Mr. Price’s desk. I shall never forget the look of as. tonishment and discomfiture on the master’s’ face, when Tito put the question very atraightforwardlv,and with wonderful composure, ‘ There’s been a jolly row about you, Master Zalez,’ he said, ‘and they‘ve thought it overâ€"only don‘t you say that I told you, mindâ€"and they think your father is a wen- turer, and they’re going to send you to the workus.’ One day. Mrs. Price and her lord and master began to have a few wouds again concerning the unfor- tunate Tito ;, and Wickers, who was the boots of the school by day. and a page radiant in sugar-loaf buttons at night, came to Tito with the news. (To be Concluded in our next.) Whole N0. 551. The Committee reported that they would recommend the payment of W. C. Chewett & Co’s account, amounting to $53, 7 5, for binding and stationary for the Registrar’s office. They were pleased to find the Treasurer’s accounts kept in: an orderly, correct and business manner, and the whole financial affairs of the county in a satisfactory condition. The committee were of opinion that 50 per cent of the present amount of insurance on the gaol and court house would he sufiicient. They were of opinion that the Treasurer should notpay any accounts tuntil they were audited by the proper persons. The Treasurer’s bond was found satisfactory by the Committee. The Committee had considered the applications of the various benevolent societies of the city, praying for aid, and. would recommend that the sum of 3100 be granted to each. The committee recommended the payment to the Regis- trar of the sum of $100 for extra work performed by him in the preparation of of the abstract index for the use of the county. In reference to the resolution adopted by the Council of Middlcsex, the committee was of opinion that as the Councils of the various Counties of On- tario have to provide registry offices, and all books required in the same, and to defray nearly all the expenses connected therewith, the appointment of the Regis- trar and the management of the oflice should be under the control of the Council, and would therefore recommend the l Council to memoralize the Legislature of Ontario for such amendments to existing laws as will meet the case. The com- mittee Would recommend the payment of $49, 25, to the Clerk of the County, for abstracts of the militia rolls prepared by him in the years 1867 and 1868. The committee had considered the accounts of the several Justice of the Peace for draft- ing jurors during the past year, and could find no legal authority or precedent for the payment of such accounts. They could not, therefore, recommend their payment, but would recommend that the several accounts of the Justices of the Peace, appointed by the Quarter Sessions to examine all their accounts previous to their being passed at the Sessions, shall be paid for each day’s attendance at such audit. With reference to the communica- tion from the Clerk of the Peace, and the‘ accounts forwarded by him, the commit~ tee were of opinion that the Sheriff’s account for meals to jurors should have been paid by the Government long ere this, as it was not such an account as should be paid by the Council, but as was received from the Sherrifi‘, relative to the clause in the Act lately passed, re- ferring to the selectlon of jurors.

A COMMUNICATION was read from the Clerk of the Peace, drawing attention to the fact that the vault for holding the books of the office was too small for. that purpose, _ After he had concluded, Ehe resolution was put and carried without a dissenting voice. General assent having been expressed, Mr. Capreol came forward and proceeded to explain the advantages which he an- ticipated would follow the construction of the canal in much the same words as he has been reported in his previous ad- dresses on the same subject. He hoped, he said, that the Council would give the scheme the impartial consideration which it had received on all other occasions on which he had explained it, except when he had submitted it to the people of To- ronto by whom, through some under- handed work it had been rejected. Mr..Patterson, in moving the reso~ lution said he did not intend to discuss the merits or demerits of the scheme; but, as he had been on the Committee who. drafted the resolution to the Government, he felt it his duty to say a few words. The right of petition was the only way by whlch the people could have their grievances redressed, and he thought the Council were doing right in expressing- their disapprobation of the action of the Government. There were in all, 64 private petitions placed before the Gov-- ernment, besides these presented by the different municipalities, of which that pre« sented by the County Council of York, representing over 60,000 people, was only counted one. The speaker would move that Mr. Capreol be permitted a hearing at the bar.
