LIFE IN CANADIAN BUSH,
An interesting but (to emigraute of
the genteel,elass) not very encoaroging
hnolr, giving the experience of a lady
who a ith her family tried that remote
region, has jug been published under
the title of "Letters from Muskoka :"—
We read that the preface, that the
writer, n 110 is An officer's widow, had
lived for several ware near Calais,
w he u the state of affairs after the French
war cotupelled her to seek a new tome.
A son in London onve up an excellent
tatuation to accompany his mother and
nsou-indaw,who held the post of math
ernatieal professor at an English school
Pratte°, resolved to emigrate, with
hie wife and childr ot. "With Glees
intentions, W. read up" says the
writer, "a few boats on onagration, aud
being utu!te ignorant of tho expense of
An long a journey, of the hardships of
Thieh, and of the abeolnt.e thoessit,y for
a stun of money to begin witlowe came

hear te, willing heeds, and the pension
of an ofileor's widow worad he inex.
haustible riches in the wilderness" The
ignorance or "innocence" dieplayed
\vat portentous (says the reviewer of
thetteirk intim peat )r(wt1o'14 summary
of its cootente we use). On reaubing
Quebec, the writer, with her so n
daughter, found themselves at the be-
ginning of a very Ping journey utterly
without mettle to carry them beyond
Ute fit st few stages. A small remittance
was half expected, brit the exoectation
proved (Ltd( iveand it wasfound
neos-
nary to pledge a gold watch before they
mild quit the tOWil. They then
Quebec tor Montrenhand were begniled
into Ptillinan's sleeping cars, little im-
agining how greatly it would add to
the expense of their journey. The set-
tlement was reached at last, and the
reader is asked o judge of their dimity
upon finding, thnt those who had enm,
to burden with our presence were, fo
he time being,as penniless as nurselves
and that, weary and fatigued as we
were, the only refreshment iny d 'at
child could offer was linseed tea, with•
nub sugar or milk, and sour dqughy
bread, which 1 couLl not pnren.tde my
((elf to swallow." Here we must took.
A, break, to explain that the lady's sob
in-law and daughtet who had lived rre-
viouslo in France, had preceded her ti
Canada, and had earth(' with them a
young la(ly, said to be very beantifnl,
wti) was engaged to Charles, the origi-
nal emigrant. The marriage took
placo or her arrival, and the unsatis-
factory larder just described belonged
to the young couple. Tile nearest stoic
at Utttrson, was six miles from the
settlers' land, and Wo are told that tiny
were in imminent danger cf etarvatin
from the had food and the difficulty ot
procuring, it. The discomforts of life
in the Bash are, no doubt, great, and
eocrrding to the writer, settlers ill nits'
koka have especial trouble to eoetend
with, as the soil is poor and hungry.
stud the only reliable crops are oats and
potatoes
"I hardly dare," says the wt•iter,
whose letters are addressed to a dough
for in England, "describe, the miserably
ohange we foiled in our employments
and manner of life when we first rettled
•down to hard labor in the Bash, L
watt anguish to me to see your Pieter
and sister-in-law, so tenderly and deli-
ttely brought up, workitig harder by
far thou any of our servants in Eng
land or France. It is one thing to
sit in a pretty drawing room to play, to
sing.te study, to embroider, and to en •

that my philosophy entirely gave way,

in -law brought her his oat as a pres-

This lady felt ;too keenly the priva-
tions and loneliness of a life to wltich
she is unaccustomed ; hard working
men anti women, on the contrary, are.
not disposedto murmur at labor which
ie breed upon theta in the Bnsh, 'The
writer allows that unflagging industry
insures to such persons o, competence,
if not affluence, and she observes that
as a body the settlers are 'not only
thrifty and kind•nearted, but nlomet
universally seem contented with their
poeition and prospects." People of the
werking-olaes, whose imagination is
rarely vivid, and who know nothing of
the charms of society, are not likely to
be trontsled with the monotonous soli-
tude of (ire in the Bush, a life which is
especially lonely in winter, when the
snow blocks up the familiar tracks
through the woods. The writer (If
these letters felt this loneliness severe•
