For the ]iurpo;e of lorming a connected narrative it has of course been necessary to phanj;o the names of persons and some of the miner details, but the '.but (he main feetuit'sof every ad venture are exactly unit occurred. Even _the " love affair," which ac cording to our story is made to take place in the State of N"ew York, is mi occurrence in real "life which signalling his arrival. The truth was brought honio to E linuud : hu had bcreu betrayed ty a. cata mount. >: , lio trembled as no 'thought of bis desporato position, for, although bq bud never couio in contuct with anything of the kitnl ! fort?, hoi bad often ' hoard of Yaii^Vio hiintera eotntnenting on tbo bloodthirsty feiocity of. panthers, eataniountB, carcajous, Ae., nil ot wlicb ho bad considered its ono am the same animal.'.! lie sprarg to-his feet and rati about u hundred paces, ho stopped to listen, oh horrors! he heard its *ivat claws rasping on, tbo limbs lbovo him. lie u'gain sprang forwn rd and ran as if ,u thousiul furies (ivere at llis heels. .Hit expected every inomeftt to lieajj its great teeth rattling on his skull, or to feel its jfieron claws teai nig hit!-flesh from his bones. He ;-ast t!i<i pieces, of venison .be hind him bo[iing that that iniglit dotivin his dreadful ' pursuer!, and still dashed : heedlessly oitward. He bad run about half a mile at this desperate pace, when lie weal headlong over tbo mountain at a place where the precipice was at least forty feet high. As be was falling, however, he grasped a small iron-wood twig which grew upon the edge. There be bung, the yawn'.ng gulf below, and, as be imagined, the howling 'monster 1 above. He struggled until the roots of the twig, which had but a j slight hold upon the j rocks above, began to give way. It seemed as if nothing could save hitn from immediate destruction. As if ,lo add to bis horror at this nionient, n crash was beard in the woeds above, a sickening Scream, a flash of light, and, then, the cliiV shook beneath the heavy tread of some thing bounding towuids him.. . He ftil escapo," replied Frank, but " whnt <jn earth" rnado you run in Btieh a HUiciilotis manner from ho ineigni'ficent un niiiijml as a wild cat.

We'll 'havo to go supperless to night, as 1 feal that I am not able to walk to the camp. Wo must try and mako ourselves as comfortable as possible where wo are ; and now, friend Frank, as wo ars not likely to sleep, I must ask of yon as a favor that, you wile away tho wearr (hours by relating some of your advejituies in tbo Canadian Wil derness." :' "Not so, my boy," said Frank, " you have long promised to rel/U to me your early histoiy. I iv^as iHiarly losing both you and it to night, but now you have an oppor tunity, and 1 kiiow you'll ktiep it back no longer. There's love in it, Edmund, for you often whisper chatming tbingsabout one Lucy in your sleep. Ha ! ha ! don't look so frightened! Frank Lungton's not the one to tell a comiad|:'s secrets. I'll mend the fire, givjj you five minutes to collect your thoughts, ai)d my word that I'll relate both my history and adventures when you are d jne." .. " My history is soon told," said Edmund. "My father owns a. farm in thn eastern part of \~ork State. I am his second son, my [elder brother is married to Susan Crooksbanks, the miller's daughter, renewed bis bt niggles, thclast root and my two sisters, younger than tim?s since I have been tpmj)ted to curse tbo procrastinating spirit which pleaded sueh; delay. On Fri day moining^T.n a'casual way, my mother informed us that Lucy 0 had loft the miller's and gono to hftr friends in Canada.' I was thunderstruck ! I felt as if T. should die, or at least, as if I had been robbed of the solo end of my 7ex- istence. I made my way to the * hollow stump as soon as possible." " Was there anything there ?" broke in Franlc wjio was eticlently becoming intqrested. " Yes ! yes !" said Edmifn'd, " there was u dainty httle letter ad- diessed to me^in Lucy's own hand I writing, session. Hero it is.

This isthmus is nearly inithe shape of an acute triangle; tt^e- twol lakes appnoiiching 'at: one [iluco to within a verv short' 'dis tance and then gradually receedingi until several miles intervene, , Itj appears that the early settlers gath ered in great'force o'u the OG_qasion in question, determined to have a gl-und bunt, and clear their coun try of tho bears aud wolves which wore; continually making raids upon their cattle and produce.
