Concluding however, that there would ,bo plenty of gamo we entered into apartuerahip and took an Indian trail for the Grand River. Our coiirao!at first led us directly over tho mountain ; it then con tinued for'several miles through a rough, rocky country, and lastly entered upon u beautiful hardwood forest, which continued until wo reached our destination. Wo camped tho first night beside a beautiful fall'. which occurs about thirty miles from tho 6ource-of the_ river. la tho morning I strolled about three hundred yards down tfio left bank of the stream; 1 was delighted with *ho scenery.

The weather bad now entirely changed, tbe sky was clear, the air cutting cold, the tamaracks cover ed with icicles, my clothes frozen and my limbs weary. I bad not tasted f$od-sinco morning. I must eiidcavcA1 to get back to. camp. While I was thus revolving my condition in my mind I came upon a small beaver meadow, where I resolved to continue tho bunt no longer.

"There is no doubt but I have seen something of the Canadian 1 Wij'dvriK-bs. lhit-1 suppose, like you, I must begin, with my youth. My father's faiir.^ on which I lived until I was jibout sixteen, is on the bunks of thjjt'nohle St. Lawrence, within aiiouV.1 thirteen miles of the gay and beautiful city of Montreal. During my boyhood 1 was sur rounded witli r-bmantic scenery and an abundance of game. Montreal was the centre of tho Canadian fur trade, and consequently at- certain seaBons of the year the general ren dezvous "of hunters, tia])pc'rs, eke. I often heard'ol their adventures, and as I was very skilful in tho use of the.rifle, I longed to be one t>f t'.eir numLer..: This desire wus greatly increased by the appearance of a traveller at my father's oneevp- ning. He asKed for lodging, and as he appeared to be a sociable hon est, respectable person, his request was readily granted. During the evening, in tiuo farmer style, my father inquired respecting hia home) and his calling. " His home, he said, was the forest, bis calling that of a hunter." lie bns just escaped from Hudson's Bay, and after un heard of perils succeeded in reach ing Canada. He was one of those persons, who, by the mismanage ment of the British Government had been seBt out to Red River, were, being cut off from, all com munication with the world, they were placet! at the mercy'of a heart- less company. They had been base ly deceived, beifig compelled to sub sist by hunting in a country- that was tqo cold for agriculture. There was but ono market for their valuable furs, which, as a natural__consequenco, they were compelled to Bell at a-tithe of their real value. The company had com mand of all their supplies. Salt was a dollar a quart, and other things in proportion. The settlers were too .fioor' to bo able to pay the exorbitant fares which were asked for a passage,.to Britain, Canada, or the -.United States, and were,' therc-'fore^fti n. -desperate position: By their ' Utmost exertions they were sea rely able to obtain a scanty subsistence ; tho fruits , of ull.dheir nerilfi and 'pvi vat ions going .'to fill the cofi'ers'of the tradei^r- free from underwood and fallen tinilior, that I could boo distinctly for more than half a mile. The iiver,"wthich 1 was onlv about two feet deep, flowed- majestically on ward over its, rocky bottom like some never ending serpent. Its channel seemed like some huge canal, with walls'of solid and per pendicular masonry, varying from twenty to eighty or 0113 hundred feet in height. At the opposite side from where I stood a large branch: with a similar channel join ed the main stream at a slight alible. A largo tiianglo was-thus, enclosed on two bides by lofty and pe: -pcndicuhir precipices, whicji Teemed to defy the passage of either man or animals-. 1 was surveying this picturesque spot when aloud wbiatlu summon ed mo to the camp, where I was -informed that our party was about to attempt to surround a number of deer which luid been observed on the-opposite side of the river. Two of us were directed to ascend the stream until we found a crossing, nud then to proceed to the point of the angle described by the beds of the rivers, and there lie in ambush until bur companions drove the deer into the trap. Kre half an hour we had. the pleasure of see ing a herd of eight or ten trotting gaily towards us. We fired and two fine bucks dropped dead in thi'ir tracks. Imagining that we would.make them ull an easy prey *'e proceeded to charge our rifles. \v'e were,-however,, a littlo disap pointed, for on looking again our intended vjctima Were nowhere to be seen.- We ufterwards discover ed that they had escaped down tbe precipice bn sotno half-hidden paths which had previously remain ed unobserved. This hunt, you will perceive, was conducted on fhe same principal, as the ono which you - nientioned as having taken place between Lakes G.torgo and Cbamplain. But to resume my storj. Our companions having arrived we dressed our venison and proceededup the river, setting traps and deadfalls wherever wo saw any signs of the fur-bearing family. We continued in this way for several days, by- which time our last piece of venison had either been eaten or used for bait. We were now within eight miles of the source of the river, the woods seem ed open, game plentiful, although early in tho season'some snow had fallen, and, therefore, we determin ed to spend the next day in search of deer. ...As I was, the best marks man in tho gancft an 1 expected to be the'diero of tho day, I was tip and off as so->n as I could, see the sight of my rifle, determined not to be outdone by any of my com panions. ,1 b'ad scarcely gone a hundred paces from our camp when I -started several deer. Having examined their tracks, I followed] tho trail'of a largt buck, which 1 thought I would know among a hundred, but I, had scarcely, gone a mile iwhen it entered a dense and almost impenetrab}e swapip. I continued the pursuit for-several hours but still tho same rnouoton- ous succession of stunted cedars and tamapacks continued. These shrubs were" covered with snow, which was continually falling and melting' virion me, so that my clothes were BOiuceti with "tho. ac- untif daylight would enable me jto effect my escape. I'had continued tho mWer varying rounds for three or four hours when I think my mind-must have become a little doranrrod, for I suddenty left the beaten track,and rushed into'tho wilderness, determined either to reach j the camp or loao my lif^ in the attempt."'; I had scarcely gone a hundred yards whan I began to regrei that I hadinot followed tho creekl which would have been an excellent guide. :I retraced my steps as nearly as possible, and in leas than twenty minutes, succeeded in fihding tho frozen stream.; I broke a hole in tbe ice, held my I Was ablo to walk around the the snow had all" disappeared, the] s!ky was clear, the air balmy and pleasant, an ) the solitary leafless Canadian Wilderness much more invigorating and entertaining than I had,previously imagined: (Tu'-be Continued. ) His Recollection Of.lt. head in the water to find the direc- Beat the Thermometer. of mighty maples and elu:B,. wur so resting a few minutes I attempted .....to cross the dam. but I had. scarce ly reached the centre when the ico gav^ gay end I was plunged to the neck in the. chilling flood. At length', however, with the loss of a glove vhd a moccasin I succeeded in gaining the shore. I was now in a desj>erate position. I might be miles from the eamp. I was already weak with" hunger, weary and diHheartened, 1 had one con solation, however. I had succeed ed in keeping both my rifle and powder out of tho water. I had also flint, steel and a hatchet, and therefore I determined to start a lire. This pioved a more difficult task than 1 had imagined, for my tinder being "wet every effort only- ended in disastrous and discourag iug failure.- -At length I gathered souii dry cedar bark, cut a few limbs, made &omo shavings, and finally discharged my rifle, expect ing-to be able to gather the wad ding before tho fire would bp ex- j tinguished, I was doomed, however, 1 to- disappointment, for having a I heavy charge in mv gun, the wadding was driven, I know' not where. Once morcThaving loaded with a much lighter charge, and a handful of paper, but no ball, I drew the trigger and awaited the result. Again disappointment awaited mo, for there'being no ball in the gun to counteract the force of the powdefj the charge, though much lighter, scattered the paper in' every direction, leaving me almost distracted. I made another trial with a still smaller allowance, of powder, and this time to insure success directed my rifle towards a- large tree. I fired, sprang forward, dropping the weapon bb I ran, ex pecting to eeo the wished for sparks glittering in tho darkness with which the wilderness was by this time-envolved. But, alas, no tiro was anywhere to be seen. Where had it gone 1 I must try again. \ I found, however, to my consternation fhat this was impos sible for on examinaing my rifle I perceived that the wadding \was firmly wedged into the barret about eighteen inches from tho muzzle. As 11 could not get the wadding out, all possibility of being able to kindle a fire was destroyed; it being impossible for mo to reload, in my desperation I cast my rifle into ihe snow and screeched and jumped as if a thousand scorpions were piercing me with their vtSn- emous stings, ray frozen -clothes breaking and rattling all the time in & very disheartened and ominous manner. I sat down, thinking that upon due reflection some means of escape miglA present it self to my mind. iSscould not compose myself, however. I ^thought of my mother, of my father's home, and lastly of tLe horrible death which awaited mej and which I now considered almost' inevitable. I waa sixty urilea from the nearest settlement, wet, hungry, nearly frozen, and already exhausted with the exertioua which I had made, None but those who have been.'in a similar position can fully realize the meaning of the word lost. Yes, lost! lost! I re peated to myself. Ob. mother, dear mother, if I could have but your forgiveness, your blessing, and your parting kiss, I could resign myself to my fate; My feet, which by tion in which it;wus flowing, and then attempted to foliow-tho down ward course of the current. This was no easy task. I climbed over piles of fallen timber until niy clothes were torn to ribbons, and my limbs bleeding in every direc tion.! Small beaver meadows ap peared qt intervals, in or about which I Wa3 certain to'get a dip by my heedless haste. I ".had con tinued in this way for several hours whetLto my delightl observed that the stream bad left tbe swamp and waa rapidly descending. X now redoubled my efforts, thinking that in a short time I might be able to reach tbe river. While pressing forward with all my energy i had the misfortune to fall and Urnis*-., my side in such a manner that I was unable to proceed. The hope and excitement whieh had hitherto "Now. Lnander, my dear, I want you to bo sure and not forget to bring these- fow things when you come down to-ni^ht," said the yoHing wifo, just before the kiss and " good-by" at the summer, hotel, in tto /morning, as the centlemeu wore starting iw v5 *i>jt- ' "Certainly no't,Jnf love."
