A. ‘ _‘__ ‘A “A k‘_ “.A“ Glisson did not penetrate to the meaning of the phrase “took-up,” in the sense it was spoken, or she would have wondered more than she did; but the rest of the information afforded her considerable amazement. “ IV“ vv~--râ€"-â€"J _. “ Here, Jammy.” said she to the boy, “tell that lady how you sleep in your room.” “ We all sleep in a big bed,” said be, turning up his wan face to Glireov, with a good-bummed smile; “ it’s as big as that.” That was about a third lee- large than the one Glisson had enjoyed to herself at Danes- ”XE-an you lend mother a bit of candle, please ? and she’ll pay it back again when father’s home.” She sighed deepiy as she spoke.

Daniel Low came in. He was dressed pretty tidity in fustian. and was excessiveiy astonished to see his sister. He gave her a his~ tory of his downfail,ascribiug it to every cause but the right oneâ€"drink. He had brought home money, and his first thought was hosâ€" pitality: one of the children was mused from the bed, and sent to the palace at the corner of Cass Court, for a pint of “ Old Tom,” and the three sat down and discussed the gin, Emma Low providing hot water and three cracked tea-cups. Then he put Giisson into an omnibus which would take her to the inn where she had arrived Methe previouanight, and where she had left her boxes. _ As a child’s mind gradually awakens to the readers of the word, so did Glisson’s sense awake, by degrees, to the wonders of Cass Court. She was alone in London, knowing nobody. and the first shockâ€"the first distaste gone off, she naturally sought her relations often. lisson’s heart was good; and she was deliberating whether she could not assist them to rise out of their fallen and most un- desirable position. Hence she spent many an hour in Cass Court, and its evils were progressively unfolded to her. Cass Court was not the worst of its kind; others there were, not far from it, 'the very hot-beds of crimeâ€"shunned, even by the police. as being desperately dangerous and wicked. Take Cass Court as a whole, it was honest; and, taking it in comparison, it was res tableâ€" sn comparison, mind, with those er places hinted at. Also, it was hard’worki ; buti the great failing of Cass Court was its read- t’ul povertyâ€"and that poverty was caused by the fact that one half of wh‘ was earned was spent in drink. The occupation follow- ed by many of the men was the same as that of Glisson’s brotherâ€"they were costennongers in the London streets. Their social and mor- al state was mostly bad,and they did not care to rise from it. When the men were “06' their sounds}? and- when those, pursuing other calltngs, had left work in the evening, their abiding place {was the algebouse or the gin- U‘UJ ------- “ But tell who sleep in it, Jammy,” pet- Iisted Mrs. Low. ‘ A. n A C shop, or some low placed ammonites, where they could tho get, dxink, or eh. at. it with them; Too often their wives accompaniod them ;._we say ‘iyivesfi a! in are writi‘pg for pdlita eariâ€"Glinaon'naéd to payjhefn 1h: same comrlimom ; but not one can a~ m .len were legs 1y bound togeihcr’o: h ev'erbgen inside a church in their lives. Glisson un" derstood now what the “ setting-up ” meant. As boys and girls grew they left their par- ents, others boys and girls doing the same, and set-up on their own account; in pairs, of course. Children of fourteen, sixteen, eigh- teen years. The parents winked at it; some went so far as to recommend it. In Mrs. Low’s sentence there was an emphatic mean- ingâ€"“ It’s less mouths to feed at home l”â€" The only stock-in-trade necessary to set up with was a handâ€"barrow, and this they con- trived to get, having a few shillings in re- serve to purchase the first load, whether stale fish, stale fruit, or stale vegetables. Thus; they started in life, and generally obtained enough not to die. They also obtained drink; whether food was had or not, drink must be found. They also enjoyed their evening’s amusements and the drink constituting the paradise of their lives. Once Glisson was persuaded into going; it was to a theatrical entertainmentâ€"if her Majesty’s chamberlain will not bring; an action against us for calling it such. Glisson paid for the lot-that is, for ‘ her party a penny each, whioh was the price of admission to the theatre. The audience was numerous; men and women, boys and girls; some had pewter pots of porter to re- gale themselves with, some had stone bottles of gin, and short pipes were plentiful. The representation began, and Glisson stopped for a whole quarter of an hour, and then struggled out of the place, her face red, and her mind indignant, for such language, such ideas, she had never dreamt of. While the rest of the company (such is use 3) sat on, in an ecstacv of applause and admiration, and in ocstacy of applause and admiration, and! when it was over left, only to look forward with feverish impatience to the performance of the next ni ht. And that way of living, of spending the gays and nights, was a very fair i specimen of the pursuits of the iadies and; gentlemen of Cass Pom-t. ‘.‘ A A ._-- A-‘ O'But how was it that they did not strive to lift themselves out of (degradation so great? Need Glisson have asked? It was the daily indulgence in stimulating liquors that had perverted their minds and scared their hearts. They“ learnt to love drink in their childhoods; as soon as they could carry a pewter pot to their lips they relished the taste of beer; as soon as they could get gin they indulged in it ; and philosophers tells us that use is second nature. The love of li uors,ere they became men, was confirmed and strong; it hgd grown with their growth; and if they crijzld have overcome the inward craving for if tliéy never could battle with the temptations to indulge in it which beset them all around. Some few in Cass Court, a very few, had once been in asuperior class of life ; they had been gentle people. Reader! you do not be- lieve it; but I am telling you nothing but truth. How could they have fallen from their pinnacle to shame and misery such as this? How, indeed! Ask thdllselves. Its bare recollection, even now, causes them ta shudderâ€"a sickening shudder as they glance back at the marked features of their down- ward progress. It was “ the drink,” they willtell you. _ Yes, it was always the drinlc. Glisson’s relations had neither been gentle people nor first-class trades-people (speaking of :their grade), but they had fallen from comfort and respectability, and Glisson felt it her duty to extricate them from the con- tamination and dirtress of Cass Court. Of course they were not backward in seconding her wishes. Indulgence in drink had been the chief cause of her brother’s downfall, but they kept the fact from her. He had wasted both time and money in it, which had led to diffi- culties, and thence to ruin. He persuaded Glisson that if she would advance the means to set him up anew in his old trade, he should not fail to do well, perhaps realize an inde- pendence. Glisson acceded: and it was for that purpose she withdrew her money from the hands of Mr. Danesbsry. A shop was taken in Hatton Garden, (for in Glisson’s opinion the further they got away from Cass Court the better), and opened in the coal and green grocery line, and Glisson was to reside with them, the best room on the first floor be ing assigned to her. Such was the plan en- teredupon, and _we shall see in a little time how it inoépered. THE STANDARD.

THE PRINCE IN BADIILTON. 0n the 18th inst. His Royal Highness and suite arrived in Hamilton. The city was a- dorned in a magnificent manner with arches, and the streets throughout were lined with evergreens, mottoes, c., and which remind- ed one of those fairy bowers read of in the land of fiction. The Good Templars, Sons of Temperance, Abolition, St. Patrick, and Highland Societies, with several BrassBands, Military and Fire Companies, marched in. procession to meet the Prince on his arrival at i the Railway Station. Some delay ensued,‘ which created considerable disappointment, so great was the ardor to catch a glimpse of our future Sovereign. However, as soon as the arrival was announced, the faces of the whole multitude lit up with animation. The IMayor and Corporation met the .Prince and suite on a platform erected for the occasion, when the former read an address to which the Prince made the following REPLY. - . GamL'suEN,â€"This is the last of the very numerous addresses which have flowed in upon matron: the Municipal authorities, as well art-other bodies throughout the Queen’s dominions in North America, which I have now traversed from East to West, and I can say with truth that it is not the least fervent in its declarations of attachment to the Queen, ‘ngt; the least earnestfinjts aspirations for the DURHAM.

That task is now nearly completed. and it only remains for me to report to your sover- eign, univeraal enthusiasm, unanimous loyo alty, all pervading petrioriem, general con- tentment, and I trust no less general prosper- ity and happiness. Ican never forget the scenes I have wit- nessed. The short time during which I have enjoyed the privilege of associating myself with the Canadian peOple must ever form a high epoch in my life. I shall bear away with me a grateful remembrance cf kindness and affection which, as yet I have been una- ble to do anything to merit, and it shall be the constant eflort of my future years to prove myself not unworthy of the love and confidence of a generous people. - m A considerable rush ensued as the Royal party were about to enter the carriages ; for nowhere has he been met by such a large number as at Hamilton. The procession then moved forward until they reached King Street where a platform was erected, on which were about 3000 ladies and children, who sang the, National Anthem, and a piece entitled, “ All hail the Prince of Wales,” which had a very merry chorus. This sight must have been the most impressive that has came under the observation of the Prince since his ahivalâ€" The buildings in the vicinity are on a magni» ficent scale, and were gaily decorated; be- sides, two majestic fountains were in full play one on each side of the platform. The pro- ,cession then moved forward to the foot of the Imountain, to the residence prepared for the i Prince, where the various societies forming the processionopened column and the-Eritrea sand suite passed through amid deafening 'cheere. In the evening the city was bril- iliantly illuminated. On‘Wednesday the Prince held a levee at the Anglo American hotel; visited several schools ; the Exhibition grounds; and inau- gurated the Water Works, situated on the Burlington Beach, a few miles below the city Here occurred an instance of the feeling a- gainst the Duke of Newcastle. As the Royal party were leaving the Works, cheers having been given for the Queen, Mann, and Prince of Wales. three greens were proposed for the Dulle, which was only partially re- sponded to, as the greater portion of the gathering had dispersed. c On Thursday the Prince opened the Pro- vincial Exhibitinn, and aftor lunch at Dun- dum Castle with Sir A. N. McNab, Bart. , took train for Windsor, and excused to “wit the same evening. The Provincial Exhibition 109' hold in Hamilton has been eminently successful.-â€" The display of products, agricultural imple- ments,’ carriages, waggons, steamâ€"engines, c., must tend to elevate Canada in the esti- mation of His Royal Highness and suite.â€" Indeed we anticipate an increased flow of emigration to this Province. The Crystal Palace is situated on a delight- ful spot at the West end of the city, com- manding an excellent vieiv of the Bay and Lake. The building is about 100 feet high, magnificent in appearance,and highly credit- able to the laudable enterprise of the “ am- bitious city.” The show of grain, fruit, man- ufactures, fine arts, c., is beyond maim- meration. We observed some rare speciâ€" mens of fossils, collected by Mr. Gibbsrd, of Collingwood. The stock throughout was excellent in quality. The show of horses was large, and we felt a degree of pride in seeing the horse of our enterprising friend Mr. Waterson, of Walkerton, among the number. llis appear- ance was highly creditable to this section of country. A“ '- Among the cattle, the Devons, of D. Tye, Esq. ., of Wilmot, and W. Scott, Esq. M. P. P., of the same place, stood conspicuous.

(cusrmusn) l l 148 “Not a few families indeed, are sol unfortunately situated as to be utterly unable1 to obtain any of the benefits which the schools in this township, (although it‘cannot be said that they are in all respects what they should be,) are well calculated to afford. In some instances it is too apparent that the scholars are far from being regular in their attendance. I believe however, that the principal irregularity is connected with chil- ,dren of such tender age, that minor obstruc- tionsfrequently keep them from schools, es- pecially where the school-house is located at a considerable distance from thrental roof. Amen st other things which induce me to entertain t is. opinion, is the circumstances that there is obviously an increasing desire amon st all classes in this township to se- cure t 1e advantages of education to the rising generation. In several lOCalities strenuOus efiorts have recently been made to form new It is doubtless a great hardship for. persons to constitute .to the erec- PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION. LETTER numeration. For my part I deeply sympa- thize with' persons who are placed in such circumstances; and though I am averse to the multiplication of schools, I do think that l some measure should be adopted, which would have the effect of putting the inhabi- ltants in question on a more equitable footing with other members of the community. I am aware, however, that unless special grants were given by gmernment for this purpose, no attempts in the way of amelioration would be attended with the desired objects.” This gentleman professes feelings of humanity.â€" But what a portrait he gives of the ‘ system!’ Is any injustice apparent here ’2 n r- o ‘- 149 “In reviewing the school afiairs of the past year, I find much to encourage us, in using every exertion to promote the good effects of our admirable system. ’ ’ ' ' But while we rejoice at the prosperity of some, we are grieved that many others are in a lingering state; teachers are very ineffici- ent; children attend irregularly, and par- ents manifest little care about the result.â€" The cause may be traced to small sections inhabited by a poor population ; this is chief- ly the cause of the vacant schools, and the large number of children who attend no school. I have repeatedly endeavoured to! remedy the hindrance in the way of general : improvement, ,by suggesting the propriety of changing the boundary of small sections, and by uniting others; but I have had very limit- ed success, as those who have the advantage are seldom so liberal as to accommodate their less favored neighbors. As the law stands, it cannot be expected that much will be done to redress the grievance.” Who admire the ‘ system ?’ What ‘ liberal’ minded men are its advocates ! How well they exemplify the christian principles of the ‘systcm!’ can it be wondered at that penple care little ‘ about the result,’ ‘ as the law stands?’ 150 “The people on the Island are gen- erally poor and illiterate, although in most cases anxious to have their children educat- ed, it is not easy to make them confirm strictly to the regulations of the school sys- tem.” 151 “It is proper, however, to state that our want of progress in the matter already noticed is not 'to be attributed exclusively to the neglect of parents, Ste: ' ""1520uTh0ligh ari effort is sometimes made to start a school, it is usually given up after perhaps halt a year’s teaching, as being too burthensome.” 153 “ From personal inspection, I should say the sections are by far too small, the children attend irregul fly, and parents man- ifest but little care about the result. The smallness of the sections and the poverty of the people also render them unable to keep the schools open the whole year.” 154 “ ‘ “ ’ ’ ' ; and though there has been not a little irregularity of at- tendance. which istruly ascribed in the re- ports of the Trustees to carelessness of par- ents, c., ya I must lay emphasis on other causes, viz. distance, bad bush roads, scanty clothing and the frequent labors of a new set- tlement, for \fiiich little hands are in requisi- tion. Of such hindrances, they only who have hewed themselves a, home out of the forest can be fully aware.” . 155 “,I haveitaken great pains to ascer- tain the causes ol the irregularity in atten~ dance, which is so general a feature In our returns, and so much commented upon, and my inquiries have materially lessened the indignation I used to feel at the alleged “ in- difference of parents,” to which it is usually referred. Tl:e inevitable and paramont ne- cessitiett of the social condition of our popu- lation fully account for a large amount of ir- regularity. Few know the sacrifices which many a latthful mother makes to send her oldest daughter to school for six months of the year. It is quite easy, and is perhaps a re- lief to our feelings, to exclaim against the poor parent for not sending her child the other six _ months; but the remonstrants would, I believe, seldom do so well as those complained of.” Is it not a pity that this gentleman did not prosecute his inquiries a little further, when he would probably have discovered that the ‘system,’ and consequent- ly the schools, are not adapted to the circum- stances of these poor people ?-â€"â€"yet of what avail would that beâ€"if, as the law stands, the grievance cannot be redressed? ”Would it not be in accordance with christian princi- ples, as such are generally understood,â€"-â€"-to give their peeple some assistance while they , need it, without waiting until they can help ithemselves? Is it not clearly and satisfac- torily shewn by the above extracts that the non-attendance of‘many of the children at school is to be traced directly to the ‘system;’ and that therefore such non-attendance is one 1 great and valid objection to the -' system ?’â€"-‘ But perhaps it will be said that such “ iso-‘ lated individual cases of disadvantage,” may not be referred to in the presence of the ‘ no- ble system,’ which seeks “the interests of the majority; ” but what then becomes of the boast of the ‘ facilities ’ provided for the edu- cation of every child‘in the land? Does the ‘ system ’ indeed secure ‘to all what all have a right to claim 2’ Does it indeed bring‘ ed- ucation within the reach of those who most need it, that is to those who are not able to go abroad and seek it 2’ Be pleased, sinâ€"£50.10 look at the matter of parental rights in connection. with me ‘ system? 168 “ It has also been objected that the system of public schools interferes with paré ' ental rights. Nothing can be more unfound- ed and absurd than this objection.” If there is no quibbling in the phrase ‘public schools;’ andil’ the common schools and the ‘ act " by which they are established is what is here intended-fie not the remark about lack of foundation and absurdityâ€"itself an 'aburdity? By the act, the majority of the people in a school section who has a right to vote at a school meeting may say if the trustees shall assess all the taxable property in a section at the beginning of the year (and this is call- ed a ‘ free school) '; or if they (the trustees)! shall wait till towards the end of the )'earâ€"-' when they can do so if they pleaseâ€"-if the people like it ornot; now as all the property in the section is at the disposal of the trustees for the support of the school ;-;:-and all that the people have for their own support, and fer-their families, is what is left" to them by the trustees, it follows as a matter of course ‘hat the great’mass of them cannot pay fog an! . other schoolâ€"and therefore the only'choio'e 1860 work and too proud to obey.” And such ob- : jectable school house and teacher may exist ‘ in the section, and yet the parent has no con- 1 trol over eitherâ€"no, not even if he is one of i the majority who has votedjfor the trustees. : ( l 159 “We have two or three private schools in the township, but there is only one of them confined to the rural districts ; nor would it ever have been introduced had it not i i been for the inefficency of a teacher who was 3 retained in the section contrary to the wishes 'of the inhabitants.” How vain then it is l to say that the inhabitants have the con- trol of the schools; it is true the authority of ' the parent to keep his child from ’he common schoolâ€"or to send him to private school is not Openly denied ;â€"-but the power of the parent to exercise his right and authority of sending his child to a private school is insid- touslytaken away from him, by depriving him of his propertyâ€"taken, without his con- sent for the support of the common school: tic-matter how objectionable that school as a school may be. But even supposing that; the common schools,-considered apart from the question of parental rights,-â€"-â€"were all that could be desired, even such an one as the parent himself, if left to his cum choice, would select, still is there no objection ’? An intelligent man knowsâ€"~and 3 Britain feel-â€"‘ that it is not the school the parent has select- ‘ ed, and even which he has a control equal to the amount of support he gives to it; but that it is a school established and managed by others in accordance with their views and feeling; and without reference to his. And '. he knows and feels that in submitting to such a ‘system’ he is surrending that liberty which is as much the birthright of himself and child I as is the education pretended to be oflered; ’ and without which even the education itself ' would at best be of little worth.

It the facts are not precisely as we have stated them,we will be happy to be eorrected.â€"-ll[mtrcal Wit- The The fellowing is the letter of the Mayor of Pittsburgh, inviting the Prince and suite to visit that cityâ€"which was acceded to : “ TORONTO, Sept. 5, 1860. “ TO His Grace the Dex: 01’ NEWCASTLE: “ Learning through the ordinary channels Of public intelligence that the contempleted tour of Lord Renfrew over a portion of the United States, will be extended to the Ohio River and adjacent country, it would certain- ly prove a singular gratification to the citizens of Pittsburgh to seize the opportunity Of man- ifesting in the person 0! her son, their pro- ._ found respect and admiration for the virtuous fand exalted Sovereign of that great nation * from whom, as a people, we are mainly de- scended. blvvituv‘uv “ At the instance, therefore, of very many of our most worthy citizens and in accordance and in beh lfof their and my own earnest wishes as their chief magistrate, l have the- honor to present through your Green, a cordi- al invitation and most hearty welcome to Lord Renfrew and suite,o:t a visit to this City. “Nor would such a detour on the part of his Lordship be devoid of some historical in- terest. in View of the present visit to the Can- adas of their heir to the Crown of England, when it be remembered that it it as the seizure by France in 1754, of this position commanding the navigation of the Ohio in the then Province of Pensvlvania; the estahq lishment thereon of Fort Du Quesne; its sub- lsequent recapture by the arms of Great Brita Fain, and final discornfiturc of the hostile and. ambitious combination of France and their Indians allies for the possession of the Ohio ,and the West The construction air Fort Pitt jeon the ruins of the French fortress of Du. iQttesne., forming with their first aggression Ethe primary cause and commencement of that long ar d eventful war terminated by the treaty of Paris, in May, 1763,by which the conquest of all the Canadas achieved by British valor, was secured in perpetuity to to the Crown ol England. Trusting the facilities of intercourse with this city in jour- neying to, or returning from points further west, will in no wise interfere with the con» venicnce of his Lordship, while it will afford to us a grateful occasion to render his pres- ence in Pittsburgh agreeable to himself. it will at the same time supply for record in the future annals of our city (bearingr the name and on its official seal the arms of one of England’s most renowned and liberal states- men) one more to the manifold incidents of interests arising out the visit of his Lordship to this continent, which has so strikingly proved the hearts and awakened the kindred reminiscences and sensibilities of so large a portion of this nation. “ With profound respect. and consideration. .. GEORGE WILSON, No class of citizens were more boisterous and enthusiastic in their greetings of Baron Renfrew, than the sons of the Emerald Isleâ€"- an illegant way they had of following the ad- vice of a sage Guardian, that advised them to have no part or lot in the matter. When the Prince was seated in the car yesterday- morning, ready for his departure,an Irishman was observed giving vent to his feelings in a manner that showed he was tairly overcome with enthusiam. After showering a score of compliments on the Prince, he gave the coup de grace by swinging his hat and shoutingâ€". “ Be dad, and come back here four years from now andwe’li run you for President!” The royal suite was greatly amused at this unex- pected invitation, and the Prince came near- tumbling from his seat in a paroxysm of laugh ter. A great deal has been said about foreign- ere getting into office after a brief citizenshipin this country, but we never before heard of a chance to reach the Presidency being offered a “ furriner” the first morning after his arr. rival on our showerâ€"Detroit Tribune.
