ject, and as Mr. Parkin had been on the Works Committee, it only required him 'tohare kept the.matter before them until it was done. The motion was unanimously carried. FINANCE.

tgtv; Mr. Tyess moved his motion to the effect that a statement of receipts and expendi ture of the Council be prepared for the Retrenchment Committee. Carried. d COX STREET.

The v same gentleman moved that ten ders be invited for the formation and kerbing of the footpaths in Cox street. The residents had contributed largely to the funds of the Borough, and they deserved + he attention of the Council. Mr. Parkin seconded. Mr. St. Hill opposed the motion, and considered the work of the channels should be completed before any other work was undertaken. Fdr the present temporary repairs might be made on the street named. Mr. "Williamson cautioned the Council to be careful in view of the present state of the funds. With Mr. St. Hill he was surprised at Mr. Parkin seconding the motion, as the latter gentleman was well acquainted with the difficulty which the Works Committee found in obtaining funds for necessary works. The Mayor wanted to know where the money was to come from for such work as. that proposed. Ever since he took office he had been averse to spending money when there was little money to be had, and while he would like to see the work done, yet he felt that now was the time for retrenchment, aud-not for increased expenditure. After Mr. Ivess had replied, the motion was put and lost, Messrs. Williamson and St. Hill remarking that the reason they had voted against the work being done was simply to delay it till funds were available, and not because they were ad verse to the work itself. MINOR BY-LAW BREACHCS.

Police reports were read, and after dis cussion, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Ivess, seconded by Mr. St. Hill, that the police reports be referred to his Wor ship to decide whether it is desirable to prosecute the parties mentioned, Mr. Ivess trusting that the Mayor would exer cise a wise discretion in the matter. LICENSES. A number of licenses were applied for and granted. ACCOUNTS. Accounts were then passed for pay ment, Mr. Ivess raising his voice to vote against items in the accounts which had been in the waterworks ceremony. The proceedings then terminated.

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE DISRUPTION A TALE OF TRYING TIMES.

CHAPTER XXVIII.

What ails this heart o’ mine, What oils this Watery e’e, What gars me aye grow cauld as death . When I tak’ leave d’ thee ? MISS BLAMIRE. Mr. Duncanson did not long require the tender attentions of which Robin A fleck so much envied him, for he was soon in the fair way of recovery. But “SHTTie mended in body, he became more depressed in spirit, for various circumstances conspired to harass him at the time. The first day he was able to sit up Mrs. Calmsough delicately hinted that now, since he seemed fairly out of dauger, it would be necessary for her husband and herself to return home as they could not conveniently remain longer away from Burncrook. She added, that Mr. and Miss Mont gomery were going with them, for though Agnes had pleaded earnestly to be allowed to remain a few days longer, her- father had peremptorily refused, and had with difficulty been persuaded not to force her sooner away. “Miss Montgomery would have told you so herself,” said the kindly matron, “but the poor girl was too much overcome to speak. She will be here presently to bid you good-by ; but you may expect her father with her, for he seems determined to. prevent Agnes and you from having any private conversation. But you must not vex yourself about that. He cannot always be so unrea sonable ; and you know, Mr. Duncan-

son ‘the course of true love never did run smooth.’ I have no , doubt Agnes and you will yet have many a happy meeting; so keep up your heart and let us see you part cheerfully.”

The student had little to say in reply, but thanked the lady for her well-meant kindness. Her consola tioiis did not apply to the sore which rankled in his mind unknown to all his friends. She inadvertently aggravated his uneasiness,- by recommending him strongly not to return to his former lodgings, but-to remain where he was, as the house' was exceedingly comfort able and not very expensive, consider ing the care with which it was con ducted. “Indeed,” said she, “I have only been able to soothe Miss Mont gomery’s anxiety on your account, by pointing out to her how comfortably you are situated here among such attentive people. So 1 hope you will not think of moving, for all the differ T ence of expense between this and the confined uncomfortable lodging you had before.”

He was puzzling himself how to answer this, without making any pro mise it might be out of his power to fulfil, when Agnes entered, pale and with eyes inflamed by recent weeping.

Her father and Mr. Calmsough were with her, and their presence was per haps a relief to the lovers by pre venting them from trying to express - -feelings which could not have been expressed without an increase of pain to both. Though the old gentleman watched them with the jealousy of a dragon, to make sure that nothing should pass between them without his knowledge, they managed, unseen by ' him, to exchange tokens of mutual affection, and sighs and. looks convey ing more meaning than words; for

love, who “laughs at locksmiths,” is not to be baffled by the vigilance of eyes grown dim with age. Mrs. Renshaw and Mr. and Miss Stimperton next came to take farewell, for they had already delayed their de pature too long, and could not post pone it further. These simple people, by their well-meant but ill-timed re marks, instead of cheering their young friend, made his feelings still more poignant than before. His aunt, with her characteristic bluntness, came broadly on the very subject on which he felt most sore —namely the money he had received from Stiffriggs and her self. She expressed surprise, and even some degree of displeasure at his obvi ous dejection, saying—“ I’m shure, Jimes, ye needna be sae dull noo, when ye ha’e siller eneuch to bring ye through the College for this year at least. And ye’re growin’ better fast; sac I think ye ha’e nae reason to be sae doun i’ the mouth.” Stiffriggs struck as unfortunate a note. Come, come,” said he, “ cheer up Mr. Jimes, cheer up, man ! This is no a time for the like o’ you to be hen-hearted. When the gude auld Kirk o’ Scotland is in danger, her freends, mair especi ally her young ministers like you maun be bauld as lions —men that nae dis couragement can cast doun. Odd, man, if je’re sae ill aboot naething, boo are ye to face the trials that you may soon find in the straught path o’ duty ? Mind what ye said yoursel’, at Sir John Baldwin’s, aboot Cameron and Renwick and Cargill; and consider if ye be acting like them, when ye are hinging your head before the storm has begun to blavv.” “ You wrong me, Mr. Stimperton,” replied the student; “ I am by no means drooping as you seem to sup pose. If 1 am depressed a little in spirit at present, you may depend on it, the cause is not what you imagine, nor indeeed anything worth speaking of.” “ Ay, but you may tell us what it is though, for a’ that. I dinna like to see ye sae dull, man, on ony accont; and if ye canna see your way yet through the College, I’ll no see you beat for want o’ twa-three bawbees mair. And neither will ye, neighbor, I’m shure,” said the generous farmer, turning to Mrs. Renshaw as he spoke, and slap ping her on the back in his usual familiar manner. {To be continued — commenced on July 26. )
