Sweet chain of memory cast around my John Winters sat at his desk. _ It was half past five o‘clock in the afternoon, and he was supposed to leave of work at six. But in fact he had already left off; for though he remained on his seat, and even occasionally dipped his pen in the ink, he had not written a word for the last ten minutes. No one was in the office but himself on this occasion, so that no one was watching John, excepting the great God who always sees us. John did nut think of Him, or perhaps he would not so thoroughly have wasted that half hour as he dic. He whistled softly to himâ€" self. Then with his pen he idly drew some comic figures on his waste paper. Then he laid his head on his hands feelâ€" ing almost inclined to go to sleep.â€"And so the time was idled away until, looking at the clock, he saw with delight that it was ten minutes to six. heart, Fast keeping thoughts but for thee would have fled ; Cause most cheerfully to bear my part, No bitter tears remorsefully to shed. Now silently I sit before the fire‘s bright blaze, And think, alas how quickly time has flown ! I see a cottage, woodbine clings around, And scented honeysuckle rise to view ; Fair E len! lovely homestead! can I find Another place on earth as bright as you ? My thoughts fly on:â€"again a little child Along the garden path a sister led ; Her angel face looked up and sweetly smiled. Alas! my loved ones both are with the dead. o Toâ€"day I looked into the parlour cold, "Tis enilly, and the grate is cold and bare ; No parents‘ welcome greets me as of old, So he got off the stool and closed the books for the day, and locked them up. Having done that hedid what he never ommitted doing, if he was alone at this timeâ€"he looked carefully about the floor. My thoughts dwell now on yonder byâ€"gone days + When childhood‘s inmocence prevailed My father and my mother are not there. Dreary and dull the old home is toâ€"day, The flowers bloom not upon the garden lawn ; The summer‘s balmy breezes softly play A welcome to the day at early dawn,â€" He found lying among seraps of paper two bits of lead peneil which he carefully put into his own pocket. He also found three envelopes which he put into his poeket book. Then he searched again on the floor and found eight postage stamps and those also he pocketed. Was that right? I am sure you will decide that it was very wrong indeed. And sweetâ€"voiced birds, just as they did of ore, War{le their music in the wood hard by ; And now those seenes I soon shall see no more. "Shall see no more, no more,"I heara voice reply. Then John presented himself before the manager. *No, Winters, I think not; good evenâ€" ing. ‘Good evening, Sir. John went down the street. Presently he was accosted by a boy who lived near Shall I be wanted egain this evening Sizr? ‘Yes, I have two bits,‘ said John, taking the pieces from his pocket. ‘How much are they ?" ‘I want a periny for the two.‘ ‘Do you? Why, I esmm get plenty of lead poneils, whole and new, for half a penuy each.‘ ‘You will have to be a tradesman, John you know so well how to do business,‘ said the boy as he gave John the penny, and received in exchange the envelopes and pieces of pencil. John went on until be saw a boy who was living away from his friends and ofter wrote letters. ‘Dan, said John, ‘I have found some postage stamps ; will you buy them ?" * How many are there ? * Eight ; andI willlet you have them for Sixpence,‘ ‘Very well., The exchange was made at once and Dan went on. â€" But a lad who had witnesâ€" ed the transaction stopped to speak to John. ‘John,‘ he said, gently, ‘perhaps you will say it is no business of mine, but I cannot help thinking that you find a great many things.‘ ‘Well what if I do ?" said John feeling his face grow very red. ‘Why, John, I dont â€"want to make you eross, but it seems strange. that you should find so many more things than other people. I hopeâ€" you do honestly find ‘John, have you one or tw6 good lead pencils to sell ?" ‘Well, you shall have three envelopes as well and I am sure altogether it is a capiâ€" tal pennyworth.‘ them.‘ ‘What do you mean ?" said John, angrily. ‘I never offer to sell a thing which I have not found.‘ _ ‘Bus if you find it on the ground of your master‘s premises, it belongs to him, and Conscientiousness. THE OLD HOME. POETRY. DUNDALK, NOVEMBER 22, 1877. $1 per year in Advance. BY FLOYD. That evening John‘s mother noticed thit he was very‘quict and thought he was unusually tired. So she boiled a new laid egg and put it before Iim. not to you ; and I think it is dishonest to take it. ‘Do you mean to say that I am a thief ? ‘No, I leare that for you to decide. But if your conscience tells you that it is not perfectly honest, leave of doing it, John. It would be such a pity for you to be spoilâ€" ed for want conscientiousness, Charless Norman spoke so frankly, and yet go gently, that John could not speak violently in return. As for John helooked as he felt, thoroughly uncomfortable. He hung his head, for he did not care to meet ‘Here is a treat for you my boy,‘ she said. ‘Never mind being tired.â€"Every one who does his work conscientiously must be weary sometimes, but you will feel better after you have had your tea.‘ The words which Charless Norman and his mother had used rang in John‘s ear as he walked : _ ‘Conscientiousness Conscienâ€" tiousness I‘ ‘I feel that I have not been conscientions Sir and I want you to know all about it.‘ ‘Tell me, then, John.‘ £ How he manage 1 it John never knew, but with pain and shame he told the whole story, and gave up the money. the eyes of his friend. W Sopeccisicen 0 0_ _ Jolm felt as if he did not deserve the egg but he ate it up and then went out. * *I am going neross the fields for a walk mother,‘ he said. *Ah I‘ sighed John, that is what I lack. If not, I should never have acted as I have done. In the evenmg, when he went as usual to the managers room, he made a confesâ€" sion ‘I am very sorry for you, John, said the manager, because you will not find it easy to fogive yourself, even if I forgive you. I will hope, however, that from toâ€"day you will begin a new life, and never do such mean and wicked things again.‘ Henever did; but he grew up a diligent, honest, conscientious man, and won the respect of all who knew him.â€"God prospered him and made him a rich man ; but the pleasâ€" ure that he felt in his riches was not spoilâ€" ed by the thought that he had ganed them by unjust means. So it did; much more good than his mother guessed. He walked fast to try to shut out the thought that came next, but it foread itself into his mind, and he could not get away from it. The next morning John went to his work and there was no loitering all that day. ‘I will never do it again as long as I live‘ he said presently,. I did not know how wicked I had been until Charles Norman‘s words told me. O God, help me, that I may be better in future I‘ No one was more glad of his prosperity than his friend, Charles Norman, and John frequently thanked Charles for being a real friend, and telling him the truth about himself at that critical time in his life. ‘I have been robbing my master both of his time and property.‘ ‘Go, my boy. I am sure it will do you good.‘ Tnsx Surz Caxat.â€"From recent English | reports giving the present standing of the | Suez Canal, we gather the fact that the fuâ€" ture prosperity of that great undertaking is l assured beyond reasonable doubt. The canal runs, as is known, from Port Said, on ‘ the Mediterranean, to Port Suez, on the Red Sea, a distance of about a hundred ‘ miles. . Throughout its entire length none | of the predictions of its opponents have ] been verified. The navigation of the Red 1 Sea has not proved dangerous. ‘The canal has not become a stagnant ditch, a recepâ€". tacle of the sand of the desert, and the alluvium of the Nile. Neither have the bitter lakes through which it passes in part become filled with salt. ‘The supposed difâ€" ference of level between the Red Sea and Mediterranean, if it exist at all, has had no appreciable effect. After the canal was completed it was found easy to keep it open to the required depth, and in excellent navigable order. When the work was done the main questions were:â€"Would it pay ? 1 Would it secure the commerce of India nnd the parts adjacent? ‘Would English jealousy be allayed in view of its manifest advantages, and would the policy of Egypt be liberal and impartial? As the capital expended in its construction had been double the estimate, would the tonnage dues be necessarily so high as 10 drive off the smaller craft? Of these questions the last was the most important. ‘There has been some modification of the dues and some shifting about before they were adâ€" justed. â€"BEut, judging from the increase of tonnage passing through the canal, and from the fact that the shares now yield a profit, it may be assumed that the toll is satisfactory, and has been fixed for some time to come. The canal was opened to traffic in 1869. â€" From 1870 to 1876 the net tonnage rose from 436,609 tons to 2,096,â€" 772 tons, and the receipts from two hundred thousand pounds sterling in 1870 to one million two hundred thousand pounds sterâ€" ling in 1875. â€" In 1876, after all debts were paid, a small balanee of profit was left to the shareholders. The result is regarded as satisfactory in England, where a large number ot shares are held, some by private parties, but the greater part by the Britigh Government, which bought of the Khedive a considerable portion of his interest in the Some two weeks ago an advertisment appeared in these columms to the effect that two horses were impounded in the pound here. Since being imprisoned it has transpired that they were two of the horses which Raymond, the butter thiet professed to own. One of them, a bay mare, it seems was stolen from a man in Lindsay, who has proved himself to be the rightful owner and taken the animal away. ‘The other, it is thought has been taken in exchange for a black mare stolen from Mr. Annis, of Searboro, but as no owner has turned up the animal,wili,in all probability be sold by auction. It appears that this Raymond has not only commited depreâ€" dations in this neighborhood, but as far east as Port Hope. The story as to his beâ€" ing in Muskokagetting out hoops is a farce. The two men who were up here identifyâ€" ing the stolen mare state that he is a noâ€" torious thief and was preceeded in his wickedness by his father. â€" Hs comes from Port Hope, where as well as his connecâ€" tions, are well known. One of his brothers is at present in the penitentiary serving out a sentence for some misdeed. From what we can learn he is a married man, but his wife, a french woman, after living | with him about three months left him 'snying that she could not live with a thief. The light waggon he drove around here is supposed to have been stolen from a man in Coburg. Some slight traces of his whereabouts have been secured, and it is {hoped that he may soon be "bagged." We ]tmst he may.â€"Mount Forest Confeder ate. The following road inspectors presented their reports, which were accepted, and fees ordered to be paid :â€"James Leask, N, E.

Bolton, Reeve of Bolton Villageâ€" §3 / The following resolutions were passed at the meeting of Reeves and Deputyâ€"Reeves held in Toronto on the 8th inst :â€" The delegates representing the section between Torouto and Orangeville having discussed the question in all its bearings, and heard the explanations which the Board had to to offer, passed the following resolution :â€" T. G. & B. Railway Meeting ‘That this meeting is of opinion that the: time has m‘ivedwhnithubooomoncew‘ mv.owingwtlulhtoofnptirinwhid:‘ the road now is, for the Municipalities to ard the Company by way of bonus, with a view to changing the gauge of the road, and generally of improving the line so as to muke it in every respect a firstâ€"class broadâ€"gauge road ; and that, as regards the section between Toronto and Orangeville, the meeting recommends that byâ€"laws for bonuses be at once submitted to the Muniâ€" cipalities in that section to the amount of $170,000. And further, that this meeting is of opinion that of the total amount of aid required to complete the contemplated works, say $900,000 bonuses to the extent of $600,000 be voted by the Municipalities, conditional on the Government of Ontario supplementing that sum by the balance, or whatever sum may be sufficient to make the line of the national gauge of the Doâ€" minion viz., 4 foot 8} inches.â€"Carried. That we have examined into the finanâ€" cial condition of the T. G. & B. Railway Co., and regret to ascertain its total inabilâ€" ity to provide the means to put the road into good repair, and effect such improveâ€" ments as the interests of the public demand. Further we are instructed, that unless aid is obtained from the Munvicipalities interâ€" ested in the road, its stoppage at no distant date is apparent, without the remotest exâ€" pectation of any other Company assuming the management of it, owing to the very large amount requisite for repairage, equipâ€" ment, and its unremunerative earnings :â€" The representives from the County of Grey adopted the following resolution :â€" Moved by Mr. J. J. Middleton, Reeve of Proton; seconded by Mr. Hugh Reid, Reeve of Sydenhamâ€" Resolved, therefore, that meetings of the elcctors be convened in each Municipality in Grey traversed or convenient to the road, to Iay before them its actual eondition, and to obtain their views as to the advisability of submitting a Byâ€"law to raise the sum of $250,000 asked as additional bonus, which, with 880,000 south from other Municipaliâ€" ties, and a similar amount expected from the Ontario Government, is deemed sufficâ€" ient to widen the gauge, provide ties, lay steel rails, reduce the grades, straighten the curves, provide suitable rolling stock, and make it in every respect a firstâ€"class broad gauge railway.â€"Catried. At a meeting of the representative men of the Municipalities along the line of the T. G. & B. Railway, between Orangeville and Teeswater, the following resolution was adopted :â€" Resolved,â€"The in view of the great adâ€" vantage the Toronto,Grey and BruceRailway is now and has been to the Municipalities along the line of the Western Extension, the representative men of said Municipaliâ€" ties now present believe the said Municiâ€" palities would be willing to grant a moderâ€" ate assistance to aid the said Company in the reconstructions of the said road. We consider the extension of the road from Teeswater to some point on Lake Huron is a matter of vital importance to the company, one very much desired by the Municipalities, and an absolute necessity to complete the original scheme of the road, and feel confident the Municipalities would heartily endorse the game by granting libâ€" eral assistance therefor. We also consider the widening of the gauge and putting the road in a thorough state of repair is a matter of general in portance to the country, and that it is the duty of the Government to grant aid for said reconstruction. | pany had to offer, one which, in the event f Tros.

On the 9th inst. the Committees repreâ€" senting the three sections of the line reasâ€" sembled, and having presented to the Presiâ€" dent of the Company their several resoluâ€" tions as above set forth, Mr. Gordon adâ€" dressed the Roeves. Having thanked them for the attention and interest which they had bestowed on the affairs of the Company, and for the flattering opinions expressed by them as to the management of the road, also for the resolutions now presented, he said that since the meetings of last night he had determined to lay before them a defiâ€" nite proposition, which he thought, inasâ€" much as it was one entirely spontancous on the part of the Company, would receive the hearty approval of the country. He proposed to give to the Municipalities, in consideration of the bonuses required from them, an interest in the road in the shape of Second Mortgage Bonds. He was preâ€" pared to recommend to the Roard that the Company should give to the Municipalities $600,000, or an equal amount to the bonus voted, of Mortgage Bonds, said Bonds to run concurrently with the Municipal Deâ€" bentures for 20 years, and not to bear interest for the first ten years, but at the end of that time to bear 5 per cent. on their face value, said interest to be paid into a sinking fund, and applied towards of the road prospering in the future, would be a valuable one.
