selves,while waiting for .the coming of
the party, by abusing the place, the
country, and ur own dear selves, for our
folly in comin to it.
Now, when not only reconciled to Ca-
nada, but lovi g it, and feeling a deep in-
terest in its pr sent welfare, and the fair
prospect of its future greatness, I often
look back ancl augh at the feelings with
WhichI then, r garcled this noble country.
, When thing come to the worst the ge-
nerally mend. The males of our party no
seoner arrived than they set to making
things more Gomfortable. James, our
servant, pulle• up some _of the 'decayed
stumps, -with .. hiCh the sniall clearing
that surround d the shanty was thickly
covered, and xiade a fire, and Hannah
roused herself from the stupor of despair,
and .seized thecorn-broom from the top
a the baded agon, and began to sweep
the house, rasing such an intolerable
eland of dust that I was glad to throw
my cloak over iny head, and run out of
doors, to a'v-oi4 suffocation. Then corn-
_
nienced the awful bustle of unloading the
two heavily -lo led wagons: The small
space within t e house was soon entirely
blocked up wi h trunks and packages of
all descriptio s. There was scarcely
rOom to Move, without stumbling ov-er
some article of household stuff. • -
The rain pot red in at the .open door.
beat in at th shattered window, and
dropped.upon cur heads from'the holes in
the roof. - The wind blew keenly through
a thousand apertures in the log walls ;
and nothing c uld exceed the uncomfort-
ableness of our situation.- -For a. long
time the box iihic1i contained a hammer,
and nails was ikot to befound. At length!
H-annah discovered it, tied up with some
bedding which she was opening out in or-
der to• dry. T ortunately spied the 'door
lying, among snne boards at the back of
i the house, and Moodie immediately com-
menced fittitg it to its place. This,
- . once accomplis ed, 'was a great addition '
- to our comfort We then mailed a piece
of white Cloth ntirely ;over the broken
window, whic , without diminishing the•
light, kept ou the ram. James coa-
structed a ladd r out of the Old bits of
. boards, and To Wilson assisted in stow-
ing the luggag away in the loft.
But what h s this picture of misery
and disco-mfor to do with borrowing?
