HEAL, |ever saw was a poor fellow who had his Tailor EMMET AND HIS LOVE, Twas in the evening of a lovely day-- the last day of the uoble, ill fated Emmet. A young lady stood at the castle gate, and desired admittance into the dungeon. She was closely veiled, and the keeper could not {imagine who she was, nor that any one of such proud bearing should be an humble However, he supplicant at the prison door. granted the boon, led her to the dungeon, il again, and the lovers were alone. He was leaning against the prison wall, with a downcast head, and his arms foldel across his breast. Gently she raised the veil from her face, and Emmet turned to all that earth contained for him-- the girl Whose sunny brow, in the days of boyhood, had been bis polar star--the maiden who had sometimes made him think the world was all sunshine. The chains sounded like a knell to her hears, and she wept like a child, Emmet said but litle, yet he pressed her warmly to his bosom, and their feelings held a silent meeting --such a meet. ing, perchance, as is held in heaven, when we partno more. Ina low voice he be- sought her not to forget him, when the cold grave received his inanimate form-- he spoke ol bygone days, the happy hours of childhood, when his hopes were bright and g'orious--and he concluded by requesting her sometimes to visit the places and scenes that were hallowed to his memory from the days of 'his childhood --tho' the world might" pronounce Lis name with eccrn and contempt, he prayed she would still cling to hitn whom all others should forget. At sunrise, next morning, he suffered gloriously, a martyr to his country and liberty. And one--o'er her the myrtle bowers Its leaves by soft winds fanned : She taded midst Italian flowers-- The last of that fair band. Twas in the land of Italy--a gorgeous time of sunset in Italy. A pale, emaciated ail upon the bed of death. ~ Oh, it was hard to die, far from her home, in this heautiful land where the flowers bloom perennial, and the balmy air comes freshly 10 the pin- wg coul. Oh, no; her star has set; the brightness of her dream has faded ; her heart is broken. When ties have formed on earth-- close, burning ties-- What is more heartrending and agonizing to the spin than to find at last the loved one is snateh- ed away, and all our love given to a faded flower. Enough ; she died the betrothed of Robert E.umet--the lovely Sarah Curren. Italy contains her last remains --its flowers breathe their fragrance over her grave, and 'ulling notes of the shepheid's lute sound a requiem to her memory. ee -- INGENIOUS REVENGE.

In the belief that this was really a finishing stroke the body was handed over to the grave digger ; but as night was aproaching, the latter postponed his duty until morning, leaving above ground what he naturally supposed to be a corpse. The unfortunate man was, however, still alive, and the cold night air, by irritating his wounds, revived him. Paintally he dragged himself to the wall of the enclosure, against which he managed to place a ladder which happened to be there, got over, although all bleeding, and his arm broken by the bullets, and de- livered himself as a prisoner to the nearest guard house. The ministers of war end justice each claim this resuscitated victim of martial law, but the belief 1s that he will be pardoned, His wounds are not mortal, and his arm has been re-set. ee ---- i -- ee. (= A father living near Cincinnati, was one evening learning his little boy to recite his Sunday school lesson. It was founded on the fourteenth chaprer of Mathew, wherein he related the parable of the mali- cious individual who went aboat sowing tares. "What is a tare 7 asked the anxi- ous parent. 'Tell me, son, what is a tare." " You had 'em." 5 "Johnny, what do you mean "' said the astonished parent, opening his eyes rather wide. " Last week when you did'nt come home for three days," said Johnny, "I heard mother tell aunt that you was off on a tare." The Sunday school lesson was brought to an abrupt close and Johnny was sent off to -------- ign when peopl always umed at, either in con- . An honest and up- independent!

Members all present except Capt. Rowe. The minutes of the previous meetin wee read, when Mr. Wright ray that he found a great discrepency between the minutes just read and the actual busi- lees iransacled by the Council yesterday, and he conceived that the motion passed yesterday for suppressing part of the minutes was passed without due considera- | tion ; he conceived that the Council did not possess the authority to tnstruct the Clerk to suppress any portion of the minutes and he was confirmed in this opinion by a section of the Municipal Act which he read. r Now as things are he thought the best way lo get over the the difficulty was to have the error corrected the best way pos= sible, he would therefore move that the mo- tion of Mr. Gibbs passed by this Council at its yesterday's sittings requesting the Clerk to dispense, in his mirutes, with all the motions regarding the election of a warden except the last five be rescinded as a fair and lull statement of the transactions of the Council should appear in the minutes. Mr. Gordon said he agreed with Mr. Wright so far, but he considered that the motion did not go quite for enough as it did not fully meet the requirements of the case, as it only rescinded what had been done and did not substitute anything mn its place, but he would ba glad "to go with Mr. Wright if he wonld so word his motion as to meet the case in full, Mr. Fairbanks said that the mover of the resolution seemed not 10 comprehend the clause, that according to the clause re- ferred to and Note L. referring to it, it 1s obvious that the Council has the power to order the Clerk how he shall enter the minutes, and if entered as ordered the Council has no power to alter these minutes. Mr. Gordon said that being a young mem- ber of the Council he could not lay claim to J much experience in the rules of the Coun- cil, he would like therefore to ask if the ruling. given by the Reeve of Oshawa was correct, viz: that after the minutes of Council had been entered, as ordered by the Council, aid Council have no power to alter ther minutes ; if such is nat, the fact there may be some good in proceedthg with lawyer to explain it, and he said it was a pity that all our laws were not equally plain as in that case, there would be no necessity for so many gentleman of the long robe ; and he was perfectly willing to join 1esne with the Deputy-Reeve of Oshawa in this matter, as according to his (Gordon's) read- ing of the law the Council had no authority to instruct the Clerk to leave out any part of the minutes. For his part he conceived that the power that makes the laws can also change Bn unless the laws of this Coun= oil be like those of the Medes and Persians ~unchangable. Mr. Wheler said that the minutes were not entered as ordered here, he submitted the motion of Mr. Gibbs on the subject. Mr. Wright's motion was then: put and carned, 13 y and 8 nays. The Warden stated that as he understood the subject the question now before the Council was, shall the minutes be amended and confirmed ? Here Mr. Feasby asked how they could confirm minutes that were not written. Mr. Gordon sad, he would therefore move that that part of the minutes referring 10 the nominations for Warden be not confirmed, but that the Clerk be instructed so to amend said minutes as to insert the whole of the business regarding the election of Warden. Me. Fairbanks said that he for one would not like to see this motion entered upon the minutes of this Council; he would feel ashamed to see such a motion go fourth to the rate-payeis of this Connty 10 see their Council stultify itself before the Councy by ordering its Clerk to do a certain thing to= day, and structing him to undo it to-mor= ow. Mr. Guy moved, seconded by Mr. Gibbs, that the 'minutes as just read by the Clerk be confirmed.-- Carried. Mr. Fairbanks said that he would I'ke now that the Council would rescind its for- mer motion.

Mr. Gillespie said that he understood the | aim of the Reeve of Reach, his obvious in- | tention being to place him (Mr, Gillespie.) | at a disadvantage before the people of North | Ontario, but he would say to that gentle- man jost to go on and make his best of it, he was perfectly willing to give him what- ever benefit he can make of it, he had no objection to have the minutes of the Coun- oil fully recorded, still he hati" woud be a wine aslirse (0 enter 1n the minutes all the child's play that we had yesterday iu electing a Warden. Mr. Holden said he was somewhat snr- prised at the remarks that had fallen from the Reeve of Brock, and he begged to differ widely from that gentleman in designating the business of electing the Warden of this county as child's play. He considered that the Council hdd been about its legitimate business and Just-iing ejay y ought to do under the circumstances hay were-sxar- cising their privilege as members of this Council in uh 10 place a gentleman of their choice in the important ition of Warden of this county, and if they hid a fight it was a fair one, and now they had succeeded in electing one, and he thought that the whole of the transactions of the Council should appear in the minutes, as should the Council have power to suppress une part, why not suppress any part they choose ? and if the minutes were not a faith- fal repoit of the transactions of the Council what were they goud for; they were entirely useless and might as well be dispensed with entirely. Mr. Gordon said he would urge the ques- tion that le bad already put and he would like to have a direct answer, as it w the utmost importance that this o should be satisfuctonly decided at this stage of the proceedings, and he would call on the Warden for his decision oa the ques- ion . : Mr. Bréthour said that he did not con- ceive that thete were any necessity for com- mitting all the minutes, he had thought it was but he l since hearing the matter discussed that was ne- cessary had been accomplished by inserting the names of all the parties who had been nominated to the office of Warden, and as for the effects of giving the minutes in full, he believed that no member of the board had any dead of the consequences. Mr. Sexton said that he considered the discussion had almost entirely gone away from the qaestion at issue; the question was on the right of the Council to aliter the minutes of a previous session when correct- ly entered as ordered by the Council ; if an intellegent decision were given on that point the discassion might result in some good, otherwise 1t is just spending the time to little or no profit. Mr. Fairbanks said that the Counil haa no pow: r io alter the minutes if entered ac cordingso their instruction.
