Once the bright idea occurred to us ot getting up a subscription to pay his arrears amongst ourselves and our parents, but the united contributions only amounting, alter all the harass of canvassing, to eight shillings and threepence three farthingzs. it. was thought advisable to return the sub- scriptions to the Tito fund, The second idea was entirely my own, and consisted In my suggesting to my lather in a friendly and persua- sive note that "Cito would he Worth adopting. being a very nice and amiable boy whom everybody would like at home. This idea was dashed to the ground by my lather's courteous but decisive reply in the negative, and T110, who had built on this letter a little, said, ‘Never mind Joe,’ and asked, whether Michaelmas-day always fell on. the 29th of September.

I thought so also, but I Went with Tito ; and we snceeded in get- ting from the school by the way which my small friend had ingeni- ously sketched out. When we were outside the playground wall, and and heard the boys’ voices Welling to our ears from the other side. our hearts sank a little at the boldness ofthe step, and we hurried on some- what crestfailen to the. sea shore, and went. on by the long lowâ€"lying sands, knowing that the tide was out, and that we were not likely to I'll go a little way willlyou, Tit, and come back again. heme they shut 'up for lhe night. But how you will catch it! Yes, I know that; ball should not like you to start alone. meet anybody at that hour to stop us before we reached the King’s Gap.. This was a cleft in the clili's, where 1 was to part with him, and wish him God speed on his journey. Tito had a bundle with him, in which he had packed a small great coat, his socks one shirt, a cricket ball, a large bag of murbiesâ€"the boys Were always givng him mar- bles. by way 01 token ol their re- spect ol himâ€"a fewhall'penny prints which he had coloured. and a vol- ume oftairy tales that his father had given him. The night was soonl upon us, and We grew less stout- hearted in the darkness, and were doubtful if the sea might not come up quicker than we had bargained for, and cut us oil from the King's Gap before our tired legs could wade throth the deep sand to wards it. But we reached the gap in safety, crept past the coast-guard 1house on the station, and then paus- ted to cmsider the next step. This was the place of parting ; but. a look back at the dark country road I had to traverse, and a‘sudden remem- brance 01 all the horrible stories I TITO’S TROUBLES‘ fiifimmim. Efl' ‘.

So do I. i assented; and then, with our heads very much bent for- ward, to keep the rain irom our faces and to allow it more easily to find its way down the backs of our necks, we, two foolish miserable hearts. trudged on, doubtlul if we Were walking over cross-country to London, or back again to Flatbor- ongh. When it came to thunder and lightning along with the rain, the climax had arrived, and Tito burst into tears, and wished that he was in his comfortable workhouse, and that I was out of trouble; and then the friendly shelter of an old shed, with the doors off, suddenly coming across our path, we darts-d into it, and huddled together in one norn,eg,_praying tor the daylight. 'How the long-night passed-we never knew. We went to sleep at last with our arms round each other’s neck, and thought of the ‘Children in the \«Voodf \Ve were scared once more by the white cow, who came in with stately tread out ofthe rain also, and snorted and sniffed about us, and finally lay down across the doorway, barring our egress, and pretending to go to sleep Tito said, that it might take us un- awares when we followed its ex- ample. We did not know that it was a cow till the morning, our impression being that it was a bull ofthe maddest description, and one to be especraliv wary of. if we set any value on our lives. We were both- becoming; very nervous, but we kept up appearâ€" ances tor a while. We took the wrong turning, and found ourselves on the edge ol the cltfl again. We made a shortcut across a field to ‘trv back’ for the roadway, and lost ourselves completely. ‘We went wandering about meadows and turnip fields in vain efforts to get off farmers’ property, and failed. We were frightened almost to death by a white cow that hellowad suddenly ovor a hedge at us, and Tito drop~ ped his bundle in a hurry, and we had to creep back cautiously for it, but were never able from that night to set eyes upon it again. We Vt ere overtaken by the rainâ€"a heavy. steady downuponr, and that washed the last atom of courage from our hearts. Somehow we dazed 05 10 sleep at last despite ourfears; and when we awoke again, hearing the hum of voices near Us, we lonnd that it was morning, and raining hard still, and that a red-faced ‘man and a rosy- faced girl, with milk pails. were looking d0nn upon us in intense astonishment. had heard oi travellers being ass- assinated in lonel‘f’fiistricts, and of children being stripped bv gipsies of their clothes, and turned adrift to die of cold, deterred me from re~ turning to Belvior House till day- llght. I said that I would go on with Tito; and Tito who had Innk- ed dismally in his direction also, said Thank you, Joe; and was evidently grateful for my company. ‘xr - ‘Lawks.’ the girl said ; what are you :1 doing here? What boys are you? I looked at Tito and he re- lumedlhe glance ;â€"our spirits were atzero, and it seemed necessary to give in. V VVe’re from Mr. Price's school at Flatborough, and should be glad to get back, said 'l'itq. _ Flalboroughâ€"why that’s fifteen miles from here. said the farmer's man. You don’t mean 10 say that you two little chaps have been a playing tmantâ€"good gracious ! Butâ€"we did mean it; and Tito said, that if they could put his friend Joe in the right road for the school, thev might drop him at the nearest workhouse when they went that way, as it was all the same, and he was expected there; a piece of information which gave our lisâ€" teners the impression that we were from the lunatic asylum five miles off. The larmer was sent lor‘ and as he proved to know Belvoir House well, and was going to Flat- borough on business that morning. we were m a fair way towards the end of our adventure and to its unv satisfactory results. We drove to the school after a breakfast we were not. in a {air con- dinon to enjoy; and Mr. Price, his wife. the assistants, halt the boys, and VVickers. were in the hall to see our ignommious return. You dreadful bovs, Mr. Price said; what a terrible fright you have given me, and what a deal 01 trouble! The counly police are looking everywhere for you.

And mv boy, I am very happy to relieve you from a great sus- pense this morning, said Mr. Price. laying his hand on Tim's curlv head ; here is m-day’a paper with a telegraphic despalch from Central America. Great Revolutiofi in â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"; Keiease of Colnnel Zalez. His: election as President ofthe Republic Tim's troubles were ended from that day. The next mail braupht a letter irom President Zalez,whose political intrigues had tlnown him into prison, and then had placed him at the head of a governâ€" ment, and Mr. Price's account was settled in due course. WIFE’s LOVEâ€".Woman’s love, like the rose blossoming in the arid desert, spreads its rays over the barren plain of the human heartl and while all around it is black and desolate, it rises more strengthened from the absence of every other charm. In no situation does the love of a woman appear more beautiful than that of a Wife. Parents, brethren and friends have claims upon the affec- tionsmbut the love ofa wife is of a disâ€" tinct and different nature. A daughter may yield her life to the perscrvation ot a parentâ€"~11 sister may devote herself to a sufl'ering brother; but the feelings which induce her to this conduct are not such as those which lead a wife to follow the husband of' her choice through every pain and peril than can befall him; to watch over him in danger, to cheer him in adversity, and ever remain unalteraâ€" ble at his side in the depths of ignominy and shame. It is a. heroic devotion which a woman displays in adherence to the fortunes of a hapless husband. When we behold her in domestic scenes a mere passive creature 0fenjoyments,an intellectual joy, brightening the family with her endearments, and love for the extreme joy which that presence and those endoarments are calculated to im- part, we can scarcely credit that the fre- gile being who seems to hold her exis- tence by a thread is capable of' support- ing the extreme of human sufiering; nay when the heart of man sinks beneath the Weight of agony, that she should maintain her pristine powers of delight and, by her words of comfort and pati- ence, lead the murmurcr to peace and re- signation. I felt a twinwering 511 9:110:19; rfiv spine, but said not a word against the manifestrpartialiiy. I met President Zalez at an ho- tel in New York, whither he had gone for a holiday two years ago, and his son Tito was then a bigger fellow than his lather. We laughed over Tito‘s Trouble: at a princely. banquet which the great man gave us, and as he smoked his paper cigarettes we reminded him at our first treat together in the little town of FSutbomugh-on-theSea. W'hen you were Tim’s best friend, he said, holding out his hand to me across the table. Thank you Mas- ter Simmons ! I was afraid he would haveAkissed me again in his gratilude, but he sat down, sighed as though Ihe cares of government were a little m the Way oilhs peace and rest that he had found England. leaned back in the chair and lighted another cigaret'e. TEN FoLLIES.â€"â€"To thinks that the l more aman caths the fatter and stronger he will become. To believe that the more hours children study the more they learn. To conclude that if exercise is good for the health, the more violent and exhausting it is, the more good is done. To imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. To act on the presumption that the smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep in. To argue that whatever remedy causes you to feel better. is “good for” the system without regard to more ulterior effects. To commit an act which is felt in itself to be prejudical, hoping that somehow or other it may be done. in your case with impunity. To advise another to take a remedy when you have not tried your- lself‘, without making special inquiry ‘whether all the conditions are alike. To leat without an appetite, or to continue to eat after it has been satisfied, merely to gratify the taste. To eat a hearty supper for the pleasure experienced dur- ing the brief time it is passing down the throat, and at the expenses of a whole night of disturbed sleep, and a weary Walking in the morning. I’ll talk to‘vou presently,81mmons, said Mr. Price, meaningly. and then he turned to Tito and saidâ€" wggld just put him on the road. “711018 No. 552. A ’WORD T0 APPRENTICEs.â€"Ap prenticeship is the most important stage of lifr through which a mechanic is call- ed to pass; it is emphatically the spring season of his daysâ€"the time when he is sowing the seed, the fruits of which he is to reap in after years. If he spares no labour in its proper culture, he is sure of obtaining an abundant harvest; but if, in the culture of the mental soil, he follows the example of many in tilling the earth, and carelessly and negligently does his work, like them he will find the seeding time past, and his ground only bringing forth weeds and briers. Let, the young apprentice bear in mind, when he commences learning any business, that all hopes of success in the future are doomed to fade away hke the morn- ing mist. unless he improve the golden season. Let him bear in mind that he can become master of his business only through the closest application and the most pol-severing industry; and that un- less he docs master it, he may bid fareâ€" well to all the visions of future prospect and success. The apprenticeship is the foundation of the great machanical edi- fice; and surely if the foundation of a structure be not firm, the structure itself crumbles and falls to t e earth. Then young friends, persev re; be studious and attentive; study well all the branch- es of your business, both practical and theoreticalâ€"and when 7 the time shall come for you to take an active part in life, you will not fail to be of use, not only in your own particular business, but in society. SLAUGHTER IN THE SILLâ€"The life of all fishes is one of perpetual warfare, and the only law that prevudes the great world of waters is that of the strongest, the swiftest and most voracious. The carnage of the sea immeasurably exceeds even that which is permitted to perplex our reason on earth. We know, how- ever, that Without it the population of the‘ sea would soon become so Immense that, vast as it is, it would not suflice for its multitudinous inhabitants. Few fishes, probably die of natural death, and some seem to have been created solely to devour others. There is probably none which does not feed on some other speedi- es or on its own. Many of the mons- ters that roam the watery plains are pro- vided with mews capable of engulphing thousands of their own kind a day. A hogshead of herring have been taken out of the belly of a whale. A shark pro- bably destroys tens of thousands in a year. Fifteen full-sized herrings have deen found in the stomach of a cod. Sea birds are scarcely less destructive to fish than fish are to each other. The solen- goose can swallow and digest at least six fullsized herrings per day. It has been calculated that the Island of St Kilda, assuming it to be inhabited by two hun- dred thousand of these birds, feeding for seven months in the year, and with an allowance of five herrings each per day, the number of fish for the summer sub~ sistance of a single species of bird can- not be under two hundred and fourteen millions. Compared with the enormous consumption of firsh by birds and each other, the draughts made upon the popu- lation of the sea by men, with all his in- genious fishing devices, seem to dwindle into absolute insignifieauce.â€"â€"â€"Edinburgh Review. THE TRUE MAN-â€"~He is above a. mean thing. He cannot stoop to amean fraud. He invades no secrets in the keeping of another. He betrays no se- crets confided to his keeping. He never struts in borrowed plumage. He never takes selfish advantage of our mistakes. He never stabs in the dark. He is ashamed of inuendoes. He is not one thing to a man’s face and another behind his back. If by accident he becomes in possession of his neighbor’s counsels, he passes upon them an act of instance obliâ€" vion. He bears sealed packages Without tampering with the wax. Papers not meant his eye, Whether they flutter at the Window or die open before him in unguarded exposure, are secred to him. He encroaehos on no privacy of others, however the sentry sleeps. Bolt and bars, locks and keys, hedges and pickets, bonds and securities, notice to trespass- ers, are mm of them for him. He may be trusted, himself out of sightâ€"near the thinnest partitionâ€"anywhere. He buys no ofiice, he sell none, be intrigues for none. He’would rather fail of his rights than win by dishonor. He will eat honest bread. He insults no man. He tramples on no sensititive feeling. If he have rebuke for another,he is straight- forward, open, manly. In Whatever he judges honorable, he practies toward every man. THE CHURCH MADE em: on Bass.» There is a Church actually existing near Bergen, Prussia, which can contain nearâ€" ly one thousand persons. It is circular within,’octagonal Without. The relieves outside, and the statues within, the rooi', the ceiling, the Corinthian capitals, air“ are all papier-mache, repdered water proof by saturation in vitriol, lime-water whey, and White of egg.
