ROUGHING IT IN THE Bib ;

LIFE IN CANADA.
BY MRS. MOODIE.
CHAPTETZ IX'.
rittent If----, pi) OUR SECOND
MOVING.'
I could hardly help laughing ey-
self ; but I begged ' Monaghan to
convey the horrid creature away,
kand putting me salt and sulpher
into a tin pl' e, and .setting fire to
it, placed it on the floor in the mid-
dle of the room, and closed all the
doors for an hour, which greatly as-
sisted in purifying the house from
the skunkifiCation.. Bell then wash -
cd out the closet with strong ley,
and in a short time no vestige re-
mained of the malioious trick that
Uncle Joe had played off upon us.
The next day, we took pceses-
elan of our new prapsion, and no
one Was "better pleased - with the
change than little Katie. She •'was
now fifteen months old, 'and could
just begin to Priottle, but she dared
not -venture to step alone, although
she would stand alone by a chair all
day, and even. climb upon it. She
• crept from room • to room, feeling
and admiring every thing, and talk -
i ig to it in her baby language. -So
fend was the deal child of flowers,
that her father used to hold- her up
to the apple -trees, then rich in. their
. full spring beauty, that she might
kiss the blossoms. She would, pat
them with her soft white hands
murmuring like a bee among- the
branelea. To keep her quiet whilst
I was busy, I had only to give her a
bunch of flowers. 4 She would sit as
still as alamb, _looking first at one
.and then a another, pressing- them
to her -little breast in a sort of 'ec-
staey, as if she comprehended the
worth of this most beautiful of God's
gifts
„, .....
to man.
The first night we slept in the
new house, a demon of -unrest had
' taken posseSsion of it in the shape of
a countless swarm of mice. They
scampered over our .t.iilloves, and
jumped upon. our faces, squeaking
and cutting a thousand capers over
the floor. 1 never could realizethe
true value of _Whittington's invalu-
able cat until that night. At first
eve laughed until our sides eared,
but inreality it was no laughing
matter. • Moodie remembered that .
we had left a nieuse-brap in the old
house; he went and brought it over,
baited it, and set it on the table
near the bed. During the night DO
lees than fourteen of the provoking
vermin_ were captured; and for sev-
eral succeeding nights the trap didr`
_
equal execution. How -Uncle Joe's
• fatal] y could Lave allowed such a
nuisance to exist astonished me ; to
sleep with these areatures continual -
1y running over us was impossible ;
• and they were not the only evils in
the shape of vermia eve bad to con-
tend with. The. old logs • which
composed the walls of the . house
Were_ full Of. bugs and large black
ants ; and the pace, owing to the
umber ofdogs that always bad
tlept under the Ikele with the
children, were infeeted with fleas.
It tequired the -utmost care to rid
•- the, place of these noisome and dis-
gusting tenants. Arriving in the
• corn otry in the autumn; we had never
experie,need any inconvenience frani
• the rirosquitoes, but after the first
tuoiet, war M SI)ring dAys, particular,
' ly after the showers, these torment-
ing insects annoyed uS: greatly. The
farm, lying in a valley cut up_ Iwith
• little streams in every direction,
inade us mere liable to their inflic-
tions. The bands,' arms, and face of
the poor babe were Covered every
morning with red inflamed bumps,
which often threw out blisters. •
• The banks . of the little streams
abounded with -wild strawberries,.
• whiele although small, were of a de-
• licioue flavor. Thither Bell ;and. 1,
and the baby, daily repaired to gath-
er the bright red berries of Nature's
own providwg: Eatie, as yourg as

the middle of aline bed, whilst We

acres of land, just at the corner of
the concession line, where it meets
the main road. And exec-Alent land
it is; and a better farmer, while he
