A. S. T. in Weekly Sun Wm. Hyde, of Toronto, tellf of working on a trucklHyinu gansj on the old T. G. and U.

They wore wild, rouj<h d;iy.s when the oew country was opened up, and in the construction gang* were many "(.>dd eODs," raiititN fioro the old Land, sent out to escape the conseipiences of folly, or to leform themselves in the colony. Mistitsat home, they were often little better here, and became hard as nails every «ay you took themâ€" "(uite unlike the sons ot Dukcf or Lords that Ihey often were. Whisky flowed fieely then, and Mr. Hyde, ill the comfort of his home over a uieditativc pipe, recills with a in: di- lative smile th;it in those days he was known from Coriwibus to Oiangeville as "Champagne Charlie," and was popular for his reuderiiiK of the then popular and tinielysonp, "The Slave Holder.' The questioner remarks, "'You weren't married in those days? " To which his good wife, with a merry twinkle in her eyea, vigorously declares, '"You bit he wasn't married! He wouldn't have yot 10 many horns if he wasl" It's iiuite true, tool While the K%ug was nt Shelburne they had a "Yellow Jack. " What Is it? V\Vll, we have different terms for it to-day. For instance, we may call it a blind pig. Some of the "boys" broke into Jelly's But the village that roiased to move : Klesheitou was than, along wiih Shel- burne, one cf the most important villages between Orangeville and Owen .Sound. When the line ran a mdeand a lialf from the village the latter sat tii{ht and is still sitting. A bus still runs out and meets all trains, as it has for t!ie last forty yri. M.irkdale, or Coriiahus as it w^is called thtn, was only half a mile or so' from the railway, ,knd so it merely chose to grow down, and to day straggles along, having ell'ected a co-nproiniae. Cornalius ijol its n'^me Ihrouah the excessive drinking done there. In the countiy thereabouts were many hotels of bad reputation. Mr. Hyde recalls that work on the trackUying was stoppei by the »now, and he had to walk severjl miles n â- rth jf the village to a;et s ime of the gang and take them back south. The hotel where they were staying waa on the top of a bill, and a few years ag.i there were traces of ii left in shrubj and a part of a cellar remaining. The snow was so bad that no team could get throuuh, and so the gang hud to walk 10 Klesherton. Champagn^, Charley set out ahead, carrying the jug (of whiskey,) and the others stragtied "long, their eye on the jug. When thoy would rest he would measure out a little of the "red eye" to them, and so they followed to Flesherton, whore they got a sleiijh and driver to take them to Orange- ville for f 12 for the trip.

Need- leas to say there was a sudden revival of interest in the beauties of evening, and in the dusk many woodland strolls were taken. Devious, also, were the paths followed in returning home, aud whether it was the fresh air, or wha'. no'.hoadaches re<juently resulted! The railway, little, narrow g^tuge ihinu that it was, was a powerful alfair, and even went so far as to move a village. Another refused to move and has paid the price. For various reasons railway routes are arbitmrily laid ilown, and in this case it ocated Dundalk .Station about a mile ♦rom the village, which was on the gravel road. All Dundalk heard waa the whistle of the old wood-burning locomotive, and being a chummy sort of a place it picked up and came over to see the traiiiK come. Several hotels and a few other buildings made up the entire village, and a Mrs. I'ate was the first to move her hotel in to the station. Others followed, a c xiper's father had the tracklaying contract from Orangeville to that point. This is a summary of &Ir. Hyde's recol- lec'.ioii of the historical days when Grey and Du(f-4rin counties ware being linked up widi the outside world. Through the mists of forty years the perspective may have U-come distorted. The forty yeai-a have seen him marry, build up a success- ful c:ity grocery business, Uion retire in a I comfortable evening of life, and finally jdiacover that he could not remain idleâ€" and so he still works by day and rests by night, at peace with the world.

Scienti- fic tests and practical experience extending over many years absolutely prove this to be so, and that is why a M BW W English" "H PAINT is made by this formula. It is pure paint in the truest sense of the word. A mixture of 10% white lead and 90% white zinc might be called "pure paint" but the eiprcssion would be inisleadintj, because the compound wA ',d not fulfil all the requirements of a first-class eyyior paint.
