ROUGHING [TIN THE BUSH;
LIFE IN CANADA.
- BY MRS. MOODIE. r
. CHAPTER VIII.
JpEN MONAGHAN.
The first week in March, all the
the people Were busy making maple
ti ugar. . "Did -vott ever taste any
maple sugar, ma'am r /asked Mon-
aghan, as he sat feeding Katie one
evening- by the fire.
" No, John."
4, Well, then you've a t"ate to
come -' and it's myself that, will Make
Miss Katie, the darlint, an illigant
lump of that same."
Early in the morning John was
tip, hard at work, making troughs
'for the sap. By noon he had com-
pleted a dozen, which he showed me
-with great pride of heart. I felt a
li.tle scrious about this far-famed
nape stager, and asked a thousand
questions about the use to which the
troughs were t6 beIpplied; how the
trees 'were, to be tapped, the sugar
made, and if it were really good when
made?
To all my queries, John respond-
ed, " Och ! 'tis illigant. It bates
all the sugar that ever was made in
Jamaky. But you'll see before to-
morrow night." _
Moodie' was away at ,P , and
the pro,-pect of the: Maple sugar re-
lieved t &dullness occasioned by his
absence. 1 reckoned on showing
him a piece of sugar or our own
• making when he came home, and -
-never dreamt of the possibility of
, disap poi ntmen t.
John tapped his trees af'1,-er the
most approved fashion, 'and set his
troughs to eatch the sap.; but; Miss
• Amanda and Master Ammon Upset
them as fast as. they filled, and spilt
all the gap. With: great difficulty,
Monaghan suved the contents of one
'large irou pot. This he brought in
about night -fail, and made up a roar-
ing fire, in or/lei to boil it down to
• sugar. Hoar after hour past away,
and the sagar-maker looked as hot
and black as the stoker in a steam.:
boat. Many times I peeped into the
large pet, but the sap never .seemed
to diminish.
"This is a tedious .piece Of busi-
ness," thought I, but seeing the lad
so anxious, I said nothing. About
twelve_ o'clock, he asked me, very
mysteriously, for a .piece of pork to
haw? over the sugar.
"ork 1" said I, looking into the
• pot, which was half full of a very
black -looking liquid; what do you.
want with pork 7"
"Shine, an' 'tis to keep the 'sugar
, from burning."
" But, John, I see no sugar?"
" Oa, but 'tis all sugar, only 'tis
. molasses jist now. See how it sticks
.to the ladle. Aba! but Miss Katie
'will have the fine lumps of sugar
when she awakes in the morning:"
' I grew so tired and sleepy that
I left Jahn to finish his job, went to
,
bed, and soon forgot all about the
invle _sugar.- At breakfast I lab-

which very. much resembled pitch.,
" What is that dirty -looking stuff,
John ?" '
" Shure an' 'tis the maple' sugar.'.
" Can people eat that. ?"
"By dad, an' they can; only thry
it rea'arm." -
"Why, 'tis so hard, I -cannot
cut it."
With some difficulty, and not
without cutting his finger,-. John
broke a piece off, and stuck it in the
baby's mouth. The poor child made
a horrible film, and rejected it as :if
it had been poison. For my own
parC, I iiever tasted any thing more
nauseous. It tasted like a Compound
of pork grease and tobacco juice.
well illionaghan, if this be maple
sugar, I never wish to taste any
again."•
-" 0th, bad luck to it !" said the
Tad, flinging it away, plate and all. •
