OUR TRAVELLER WITH THE VALISE.

The tuthtjr of thin little volume l» of opinionthtt in

exntanttion of hit rcawins for writing it may beneccH»«ry

towards insuring it a gicatermeasure of •uccea^ Hj

live, in the Townahip of MrKellw. m the Diit ct ofParry Sound, where he ha« a large

family of small chil-

dren. It is a new and a rouKh countryat the l)cst, and

it is harder work to obtain the nc<esnarics of life up there

than in this more avoured lectlon. In thetownship

snd vilUge of McKellar," Truck " reigni a kmg upon »

throne of empty store barrels and boxes ;and those who

have been mainly instrumental inplacmg hifn in iK)wer

arc a small company or firm of (;overnmentroad con-

tractors, and contractors for getting o^ iaw logs for theLumber Companies, who own the greater part

of the

village of McICella|fia»d whpse dailyschemmg and

nicMly dreaming halrlen to obtain a monoi^lyof all

the business transacted in thatsection of the coyntry.

It haa been one of the author'a greatestmisfortunes In

life to have been obliaed by thecircumstances in which

he was placed to work for and deal withthese persons

for years, and Uke his pay at the hands of KingTruck

in goods out of their store in McKellar,at an Average of

about twice as much as such goods would have costhim

in the town of Collingwood or the cityof' 1 oronto.

One of the business maxims upon which theyappeared

to depend most for success in life was togive as little aa

possible for what they had to buy, and get asmuch as po».

iible for what they hadto sell. Is it anv wondert»«t under

such a system the authorshould have found itvery difficult

to provide for the preaaing wants of a largefamily of little

ones ; that it it requif«d his utmoat efforts,hia incessant

exertion* to keep them suppped with the bare necessanq

of life, and that he and his family have oftensuffered

from an insufficient supply of food and clothingunder

in this object ? It will f this preface

in his present course of action. Hu eldest ion, at anearly age, and urider the influence of a few months'

.schooling in one winter season, showed a strong propcfr

sity for writing rhymes. He learned to write ai if byinspiration, and his talents were developed bv the ftoii* 1

ana poetry he read in the first numbers of the Canadian

scries of school books, i^d he wrote so well and so

fluently, that he was promised, as a reward for his ex-

ertions, that his verses would be printed. Accordingly,

go and •© copies in one day ; and in CoWngwood, when

e WM a comparative ^stranger, he sold 30 copies in less X^than one day. The names of most if not all of these kind "*

friends will be found in the last pages of this little vol-

ume. "As the season was so far advanced when he

started to sell the book, he had to leave 500 copies in

Toronto, and it was to look after these books—to at-iend to the publication and disposal of " Our Traveller

with the Valise," and for other reasons, that he left hit

home in the Township of McKeliar #bout noon on Sat-urday, the 19th day of November. As he expected to

find a boat leaving Parry Sound for CoUingwood on

Monday morning, and he did not like to travel on Sun-day, he left McKellar village, 15 miles from Parry

Sound, at about half-past a o'clock p. m. The roadswere of rough, frozen clods, not very pleasant to travel

oyer on foot, and a slight fall of snow made travelling•till more wearisome from its badly balling the heels of

his boots, to 0iat in his occasional efforts to rid himself

of this anwoying encumbrance he knocked the heel off

one of them, but he did not discover his loss until he

waa taking thenu2£Hate at night, preparatory to resting

his weary limbs in a-not very comfortable bed in a bleak

and bare room in Juke's Hotel, in Parry Sound. This

place has grown up in a few years from a small hamlet

to the sice of a small town, and it a great place of resort

Iqtihe summer time for wealthy people from Toronto

and elsewhere, seeking health and recreation ftom pure

air and betutiful scenery. There are two old established

hotels; and >A splendid new hotel, the Belvedere, has

feonitly been erected in a commanding poaition on

Belvedere HUl. It i» intended as a place of resort for

iummer tourists and visitors. Last summer there were

tbree >teamen lunning between Parry Sound and

CoUingwood, and between Parry Sound and Wau-

tmihetie, and the competition between them wa^ to keen

that fiOet went down to at low a figure at 95c. between

Pttry Sound and Collingwood. What Pyny Sound needsto rapidly raise her to the statut of a sraidl dty it a rail-

way, to that the can be easy of accest .at all teaaont of

she got a third copy, and paid for it alsa And the wri-ter has half an idea that she used otic of these little vol-

umetua stepping-stone to help her into Mr^obert-•on's heart and home ; and how greatly flattereoncfeelsto think that his little book should have been the meansof bringing about such imporUnt fcaultt ; and in one

at )«ast, have helped to lift one poor person onhoncback-; though upon secondthoughts he half regrets it ; for,being so greatly elevated, she

looked down upon this poor manwith contempt ; she would hirdlynotice him Oi his magaaine. So

, he shook the dnst off his feet as
