UNCLE JOE AND His FAMILY.

You a silk gown." •

Monday cam; and with it all th
bustle of moving, and, as is general
ly the case on such occasions;
turned out a wet day, 1 Felt Old

any rate, to be in a place of my own
however • humble. Our DOW hot')

tine fruit trees.
I know not how it . was, bute the
sound of thet tinkling brook, for
ever rolling by, filled my heart with
strange' • melancholy, which for
many nights Ideprived me of rest. I
loved it, too. The 'voice of waters,
in the stillness of -night, always bad
an extraordinary !effect upon my
mind. Their ceaseless motion and
perpetual sound convey to me the
idea of life ---eternal life and look-
ing upon them, glancing and flash-
ing on, now in sunshine,. Low in

the tear o

rine a feeling of mysterious awe of
which I never could wholly divest
traYself.
•
A portion of my spirit seem-
ed to pass into that " little stream.
In its deep wailings rend fretful sighs
L fancied myself lamenting for the
land I had left .fOr ever; and its
restless and impetuous rushings
against the stones which choked its
passage,ewere mournful types of. my
• own mental struggles. against the
strange destiny which hemmed me
in. Through the) day the stream
still moaned and travelled
engaged in my novel and distasteful
occupations, I heaid it not ; but
whenever my- -Winged thoughts flew
howew-ard, then the • voice of the
spoke deeply and sadly to, my
• heart, and my tears flowed uncheck-
ed td its plaintive and harmonious
music. r.
In a few hours I had my new
abode more comfortably arranged
than the old one, although
its dimensions were much SMAllert
The location was beautiful, and I
was greatly consoled by this circum-
stance. The aspect of Nature ever
did, and I hope ever will continue,
" To shoot marvellous strength into my
heart."
. As long as we remain, trim to the
Divine Mother, so lhng will she
• remain faithful to her uffering chil-
dren.
At that period my 'Pim for Cana-
• da was a feeling very nearly allied
to that which the condemned crinai-
nal entertains for his cell—his only
hope of escape being through the• '
portals of the grave. •
The fall rains had commenced.
in a few days the cold wintry show-
ers swept all the gorgeous crimson
from the trees ; and a bleak and det-
olate waste presented itself to the
shuddering spectator. 1 But, in spite
of wind and rain, my little tenement
-.vas never free from the intrusion of
Uncle Joe's wife and child. Their
house stood about a stone's throw
from the hut we occupied, in the
same meadow, and they seemed to
took upon it still as their own, al-
though we had literally paid for it
twice over. Fine strapping girls

Joe was out of breathe panting and

choked with fury, "if I catch up to
