I heard the bells of the factories go, as I was about half-way across to the town, and got to them about; ten minutes after 81X. A gentleman came through a glass door and shouted; ‘ What do you Want, young man ?’ ‘Please, sir, do you want a hand ?’ "No, we don’t,’ he answered shortly, turnng on his heel, when the foreman came up. ‘ Who’s late,’ asked the gentle- man. ‘ Only Rogers, sir.’ , ‘ Rogers again ! then I’ll discharge Ili1n.â€"â€"He1‘e, you,’ he said, calling to me, ‘ What are you up to now ? Can you do our work ‘3’ I ‘ Try me, sir,’ I said, and was just telling that I’d come from the north, when he went into his office, saying that I could stay on till breakfast if I liked. That was all that I wanted, for I knew I could do what they required ; and I did it well enough to be taken on regularly; my mates shewing me where I could get grub on tick, so that by evening“ I’d two good meals inside of me, and felt a bit different to what I had the night before. VOne of the chaps found me a. lodging; in the town, Where I slept ; and next day being Saturday, got paid for the two days, and had a few pence in my pocket to buy baccy and such like. I was leaning on the river-bridge that afternoon smoking with some of the boys. t for we’d closed early, when I remember- ed, all of :1 sudden, the little boy Bob, for, on my word, Yd thought of nothing before but my good luck. I would not tell the others, but when I’d the chance, I slipt off and started to where the old mill stood, a good mile in the country. When I’d get to it, I climbed up on the loose bricks, and looking through a hole, saw Eagle Eye standing up in one corn- er watching a pair of thrushes roast, while his master seemed to be lecturing- him, at least I judged so from the sound of his voice. But the brute heard me almost immediately, and began to bark sp I jumped down and rattled at the ‘Wooden door of the mill. ‘ Who’s there ?’ shouts Bobâ€"‘ friend or foe ?’ ‘Friend !’ I Said. ‘Enter, friend !’ And when I went in, he’d got a horse- pistol near as big as himself pointed right at the latch. That made me laugh a bit, but he put it down at once. When I woke, the sun 'shone so bright that I thought it must be late; so I got up, though feeling rather stiff and sleepy. I’d to look about before I could see Bob. for heiay sunk in a lot of straw, with the dog’s nose resting on his cheek in the comicalest may. Ididn’t s 3 to samwd-loye, thoin‘ gigmw ‘ 0 Jake, I’m so jolly glad you have come. You’re just in time for supper, see !’ and the dog jumping about too, so that I felt like an old friend. ‘ Here’s something I’ve brought,’ says I, takhlgfit gut pf my jackgt pocket. ‘ O J ake. is this cheese? Where did you get cheese from? And bread and butter, and plum pudden 1. My wig, but we’ll have a feast toâ€"night.’ And he danced on his bare feet, catching Eagle Eye by the fore paws, and swinging the astonished beast about, while I stood laughing fit to cry. We avte, and aie, and ate all three of us when we did sit down, for I was tol- erably peckish ; and as for the two others DICK TATER, Plame, June 13, 1870.

" Beat thou no more,” Dick Tater said, “ Thy drum will have a broken head, “Thy siicks be scattered far and wide !” But loud that drummy’s voice replied Dumpter-dum. ‘-' Beware the Plamites’ vengeance, then X “Beware the ire of injured men ;” This was the writer’s last advice, But still the drum kept it’s device, Dumpter-dum.

And then We’d all start off across the fields, or if it was summery down to the river to bathe; and Eagle After dinner, if it wasn’t wet, we always went out of doors to smokeâ€"not pipes (we kept) those for week days), but cigars. I remember having quite a dis- pute once with Bob about the same cigars. He said penny ones were good enough. Now, I don’t think so. I’ve smoked all sorts of penny onesâ€"Pickwicks, Veveysi Eye would go harking and smelling abgut chasing every beast he could meet less than himself, and we following with the ferret in a bag, ready to loose on whatâ€" ever turned up. Partagosl do 103 something 01‘ other, which sell there for twopencehalf-penny. But they ain’t good; and I for one would a deal sooner have a pipe, only that a cigar looks more the thing with one’s Sunday clothes. ‘ “That’s the game?’ says he7 trying to look as if he didn’t know. \Ve got on jollily, we two.' The first thing Bob did, when he got his week’s pay, was to buy a pair of rabbits, buck and doe; and we spent Saturday after- noon knocking up a hutch. Then we got by degrees guinea-pigs, and a male fer- ret, and a lot of Young starlings, so that missis raised our rout Sixpence, she said we were so mess“ v‘ They’ve took everything,’ he sobbed â€"‘ my pistol, and two (iozcn roach I’d got salted down, and a life of Dicky Tm:- p’iu, and all 3 and 0 Jake, I believe they killed the poor doggee, I believe they havo.’ But I’d caught sight; of a ring on his finger, and jumped out of bed before he had time to hide it. He struggled a bit, and called me a great brute, when I twisted it OE and found ‘ I love you ’ in white letters on} red ground. After that Bob shared my room. He’d not got any money ; but it happened luckily they just wanted a boy to tend the engines in my shop, SO he was taken on, with fair wages, which were soon in- creased, for he was quick and. plucky enough to do things that other boys dare not. ‘ ‘ Bob, you’re after a young woman,’ I said. It wasn’t so bad as that, though his shoulder was laid open, and Bob himself with a lump on his temple as big as a walnut; but we soon set it pretty right, and then Bob crept into bed, still cud- dllnq the dog, and we all slept sound enough till the bell woke me up for work. ‘Well, suppose I am, it don't matter to you, d_0e_s it_ ?’ i It went on so for about a month, I ;helping them at times with a bit of ,baccy, and so on, when one night, just as I’d get into bed, I heard something scratching at my Window, which is near the ground, and easy to get at. ‘ Who’s there ?7 I called. ‘ Me,’ say’s Bob’s voice. And sure enough, when I’d lighted my candle, there was Bob himself in his shirt and brooches, holding Eagle Eye 2111, bloody in his arms. ‘ Castle’s storm 2d l’ he says. ‘ Stormed l How do you mean ?’ ‘ Oh, five or six, great louts from the town got wind that I was there, I sup- pose, and come round stoning through the holes, and climbed up and grinned through, and then they burst open the door. I'd have shot ’em, I would, only the powder was wet, and only flashed. And when Eagle Ey‘e ran at ’em they hit him that hard ’ I saw that he was trying to keep in a cry,_1_o_ut he couldn’t no longer. Notla baked tater I But Where’d you get the tin for this lot ?’ ‘ u ‘Oh, I sold the starlings, and that young thrush, and the rabbits ’ ‘ 1 I, ‘ Sold the rabbits I You must he took bad. Who is it then ? Sue Buckley, or Kate Thurston, 01' Sue VVilsher, or I know, Melia Bennett?’ These were all gals worked at our shop, and were about Bob’s age. But He took out his knife, and began Whittling the door of the hutch, paying no attention. I ‘Who is it, Bob ?’ says I again, after a bit. 7 ‘ ‘ Don’t bother !’ I ‘ Come, Bob : tell us who’t is.’ He wouldn’t just then, but I got it all out of him when We was having our smoke. There’d been a figure showâ€"marion- nettes they called ’emâ€"stopping near it was clear that their small game didn’t the mgfi'ket-place for nigh three weeks; particularly agree With them.

Not if I had a gun. L’d have two rifles, Jake, and a pistol that would kill six right- away. Don’t you remember in the Gory Trapper, where his son Amos shoots that great Blackfoot chief? That’s what I’d like. I’d follow in the trail for weeks, living on.dried buffalo’s flesh; and just as the natives began to think precaution was useless, I’d get behind a rock with my long-shooter, and take a sight quick, then a sharp report would ring through the forest7 and the Pawnee warrior roll over into the torrent below i7 ' we’d shot, and honey; and at 'night we’d get into ’Lheir camp, and stick the chief, and rescue the White prisoners. Wouldn’t it be jolly, eh ?’ ‘IL wouldn’t be bud,’ answered I; for you see he’d a taking way of putting it. ‘ Well,’ says he, ‘ I vote we go, Jake, I do!’ ‘But Where’s the tin from to start us ?’ ‘ Oh, let’s make up two bundles, and tramp!’ ‘ Whfilhey’d chaw up a little unlike ypu,’ I said, ‘in two mouthfuls.’ ‘Not for Jake,’ says I; ‘I’ve had enâ€" ough tramping to last a life. If you want to get herring-gutted and spin- dle shanked, tramp; but it’s no good for aught else than I’ve found.’ ‘I’m game, then, to save, if you will too, Jake, I’ve got a. pistol now that I bought of Jim Crook, and when it’s cleaned it’ll do very well. Then, if we don’t spend anything. we can easy start by next spring. What do you say ?’ \V‘ell, we talked on a good bit, half fixing that we’d gohthOugh it might come to nought, likely enough7 f'or we’d often talked about the matter before. At all events. now it hnd‘nt the chance, for that was the last- long talk ever we had together. I We was working; next day, nigh on to dinner, when the machinery stopped all on a sudden through the whole shop. it wanted quite half'amhour to one, and we couldn’t make it out at all. The en- gine stood in a room next to mine, and beyond that was the foreman’s room, so. after waiting a minute we all crowded through. We’d no need to go far; as soon as we opened the door we saw ’em all in there bending” over something, and we knew thero’d been an accident. I heard them whispering the name, and knew it was Bob that was. hurt before I saw him. He been dared byone of the younkers to reach a bar running above; in jumping he’d slipped, and his legs been both crouched up like dry sticks be- tween two of the wheels. I remember one Sunday, the last in this August, he’d been going through a whole lot about a chap that ran away to sea; and how he was made captain of a pirate, and rescued a Spanish princess, just as her father was about to marry her to a withered‘up old nobleman; and how, after heid sailed about many years, and sunk every ship that opposzed him, he and his men settled down at last on a desert island, where they made him king, and. the Spanish princess queen. He’d finished his sto‘y, and we were lying on the grass by the railway bridge as a train came running past from the town way. I don’t know if it was express; but it made row enough, the carriages shaking and flinging up the dust nearly to where we were. We watched it go on for ever so far, and then Bob says :â€"â€"â€" ‘ I’d like to be in that; wouldn‘t you, Jake ?’ ‘ Ah,’ says I, ‘ I wouldn’t mind.’ ‘ I’d like,’ he says, ‘ to go on and on, on kno 0 Mexico, or somewhere, ' ' ‘ ' t eh 3”“ nd I helped to take him to the doctor living hard by. He looked at him, and said, no hope ;he must just die in an hour or maybe half. we bore‘hin home gn I’ lout this spring it was that Bob first took to telling tales. I had no idea he could ; till once, after we’d been reading something in penny numbers, he went on of' his own head, slapnp, I tell vou,just like a book, and from then he was always doing it, till I couldn’t hardly take my pipe without him by to make up some- thing. a ishntter, and laid him on the bed. He wasn’t sensible, and rested as st1ll and white as if he’d been dead already. Pre- sently, the men that had brought him went, for they had their living to get, and couldn’t stay from work. The doc- tor’d given me something that might bring him to his senses, and I put it on a handkercher, and held it to his nose. After a hit, his lips moved just a little, and then he Opened his eyes and looked We went on pretty much the same after this, except that we both got a bit quieter in our ways, spending a, good time dressing, and then strolling along Hemingten road, ’stead of after the rats. Also we took quite a gambling fit of evenings, and played dominoes and draughts for a penny a game, at the EX- change Coffee-shop in Broad Alley, till I’ve lost as much as ninepence in one night. That was in winter ; in summer we’d get cricket and all that. I can bowl it hit round hand; and though Bob is small size, perhaps from smokng so regu- lar, he’d stick at the wicket as well as any of the big chaps, noisy piston Bob had used to call Toflmy' ShooooShoooo, from its making row' enough for six. He Wdl‘ked just by' there ; and the day we buried him, I- tied a bit of black stuff round the bottom of it, just for mourning like. A young-j ster was going to pull it off, but the old man that had prayed by Bob calls out:' ‘ Let it bide 1’ Then they were all quiet, and whispered ‘J ake 3’ and I crept away’ to my place.

On motion of Mr. Graham, seconded by Mr. Munsiegthe Council went into Committee of the Whole, for the pur- pose of considering the communication from F. C. Capreol, President of the‘ Huron and Ontario Ship Canal Company and its accompanying: documents; I was bound to go to the factory nexfi’ morning, though I had no heart for it; but that midst go on well or ill. I’d money enough to get Bob buried decent by pawning my silver watch, for as for‘ his step-mother she’d not come nigh him while he was alive, and I wasn’t going to‘ beg money to put him in the ground; We waited so several miniites, and then I get up quiet, and went to a cor- ner where I’d an old Bible. It was worn well, for it had been my mother’s, but I’d not used it much myself, more shame, and I didn’t know what to begin on, Only it seemed but right he should hear something? good. So I read about little David going out against big Gro- linth, and piercing his forehead, and cut- ting off his head; for I knew he’d have" liked that when he was well. While I was in the midst, there came in an old grizzled man, One of them that had. brought Bob down. He was a Method-‘ ist, and had been to seek the minister, but couldn’t happen on him. So he took the Book from me, and read a deal about peace, and-hope, and pardon, and a bet- ter country where angels lived, and there was no sin or pain, till it seemed quite easy to be good, and I wondered I’d never thought of these things before. Then he knelt down by the bed, and prayed; and I wiping off the great drops as they formed on Bob’s brow ; and then Bob,- who’d seemed to follow all through, but whose eyelids had drooped, opened them again full, and rose nearly up from the‘ pillow, and said : ‘ Good byeâ€"oldâ€"â€"‘ Jake,’ quite plain, and fell back dead. N The Committéé rose and reported, am; their report Wgs _adopte_d. The Council then adjourned at 11.10 until 2 o’clock. The Council resumed at two o‘clock; The Warden submitted a letter he had received fi'oin'the City Clerk, accomâ€"’ panied by a copy of a Report of the Com- mittee on Wharv’es and Harbours, refer: ring to a portion of the Esplanade and the G301 grounds. On motion, the Warden was instruct ted to obtain the opinion of Mr. R. A; Harrison on the claim of Mr. J. Ellis, for land on the Humber used by the l up at me. I took hold of his hand which laid out of the eoverlidâ€"it felt cold as ice. ‘Do you know me, Bob? I whis- pered, and he squeezed my fingers the least bit. In a. while there came a Whi- ning and scratching at the door. I wouldn’t have moved, but he looked so wistful that I knew he’d heard it, and wanted me to open. I got up, and let in the dog. It was an ugly, speckled mon‘ grel; but ‘to see it come in there was as if it had had sense. It knew as well as I did, what had happened; that there wasn’t no more merry larks with its mas: ter ;that it wouldn't need to go waiting again at the factory-grate, and jump about? him at his dinner; and: it just lay itS' black nozzle up against his breast, and looked with its two eyes into hisn, like the good, old, faithful beast it was. I’ll treat him kind, Bob, I saysh and Bob seemed to smile a litile, at leastI thought so; but maybe it was only fancy. nn 4 Council‘ M 0st WHOLE N 0. 623. County Coutc’il. aha] him, he’ Was
