ROUGHING IT IN THE BUSH
LIFE IN CANADA
BY MRS. MOODIE.
our. INDIAN NEIGHBORS.
The soul of an Indian that has
been drowned, is reckoned -accursed,
and he is never permitted to join
his tribe on the happy hunting
grounds, but his spirit haunts the
lake or river on which he lost his
life. His body is -buried on some
lonely island, which the Indians
never pass without leaving a, small
portio of food, tobacco, or ammuni-
tion,
mmurition, to supply his wants; but he is
never interred .with the rest ot • his
people. His children are considered
unlucky, and few willingly unite
themselvesto the females of the
family, lest a portion of the father's
curse should be visited on them.
The orphan Tndian girl generally
kept aloof from the rest, and seemed
so lonely and companiouless,- that
she son attracted my attention and
d
sympathy, and a hearty feeling of
good will sprang. up between us.
Her features were small and regular,
her face oval, and her large, dark,
loving eyes were full' of tenderness
and sensibility, but as bright and
shy as those of the deer. A rich
vermillion. glow burnt upon' her
olive cheek and lips, and set off the
dazzling whitener, of her even and
pearly teeth. She was small of
staiture, with delicate little hands
and feet, and her figure was elastic
and graceful. She was a beautiful
child of nature, and her Indian
name signified "-the voice of angry
waters." Poor girl, she had been a
child of grief and tears from her
birth 1 Her mother wasea Mawk,

tractions • for they are very far
. before the Missasaguas in this re-
spect.
My friend and neighbor, Emilia
S , the wife of a naval officer,
'who lived about a mile distant from
nye, through the bush, had come to
spend the day with me ; and hear-
ing -that . the Indians were in ' the
swamp, and the men away, we de-
termined to take a few trifles to the
,amp, in the way of presents, and
spend an hour in chatting with the
starting .to our feet. "'Is there any
danger?"
" A deer ---a deer --in bush !"
whispered the squaw:, seizing a . rifle
that stood in a coiner.. " I hear
sticks crack;—a great way.- off. tay
here!" '•
squaws. 1�
What a. beautiful noonlight night
it was, as light as day !—tile 'great
forest sleeping tranquilly beneath
the cloudless heavens—not a sound
to dister b the deep repose of nature
but the. whispering of the breeze,
which, during the most profound
calm, creeps through the lofty pine
tops. We bounded kown the steep
bank to the lake shore. Life is a
blessing, a precious boon indeed, in
such anhour, and we felt happy in
the mere consciousness of existence
—the glorious privilege of pouring
out the silent adoration -of the Beast
to the Great Father in his universal
tem pie.
On entering the -wigwam, which
stood within ;a few yards of the.
clearing, in the middle of the- thick
grot ip of cod ars, we feu nd Mrs. Tom
alone with her elvish children., seat-
ed before the great fire that buried
iu the centre of the camp ; she was
busy boiling some bark in an- iron
spider. - The little boys, in red flan -
rel shirts, whicli were their` only
covering, were tormenting a puppT,
-which seemed to take their piuching
and pommelling in good part, for it
neither a.ttemptecl to - bark nor: to
lite, but like the eels in the story,
sui,inittecl to the infliction because it
was used to it. Mrs. Tom greeted
its with a grin of pleasure, and mo-
iicd us to sit down upon a buf-
falo skin, which, with: a courtesy so -
nattiratl to the Indians, . she had
placed near her for our accommoda-
tion.
You are all alone," said I, glans-
ing iound the cr..mp.

As she ceased speaking, ; the olcl
1-flatieke t Lhat formed the door -.of the
fent, was withdrawn, and the girl,
laeiring two -pails of water, stood it
the open space, in the white uioon-
Befit. The glow of the lire stream -

danced in the back, glistening eve,
and gave a sleeper blush to .the olive

A smile of recognition Ip:cgsed be-
tween us. She put do n `}ler bur-
den beside Mrs. Tom, an noiseless-
ly glided to her seat.
We had scarcely exchanged a few

squaw whistled to an old hoand,
and went out.

She.smiled, and nodded.

Eastern proverb w s brought

of God fully manifested towards
Indian.. On the levening of
fourth, he was so.pressed by rav
ons h uager, that he stole into
woods, caught a bull -frog, and
voured it alive. He imagines] h:
self ,alone, but one of his. peol
suspecting , his intention, had
lowed him, unperceived, to the
bush. The act he had just commit-
ted
ommitted was a hideous crime in their
eyes, and in a few minutes the camp
was in an uproar. The chief lied
for protection. to Young's liouse
When the hunter • demanded the
cause of his alarm, he gave for an-
swer, " There are plenty of flies at
my house. To avoid their stings
came to you."
It required all the eloquence of
Mr1 Young, who enjoyed much
popularity among them, to re
' o t eir
concise the rebellions tribe b. e t h
chief.
Theywere very skilful in the
treatment of wounds, and many dis-
eases.. Their knowledge of the
medicinal qualities of their plants
and herbs is very great. They
make excellent poultices from the
bark of the Kass #rid the slippery
elm. They use several native plants
in their dyeing of baskets and por-
cupine quills. The inner bark of
the swamp alder, `simply boiled in -
water, makes a beautiful reel. ° From
the root of the black ;briony they
' obtain a fine salve, for sores, and ex-
tract a rich yellow dye. The inner
sumach,
of the root of the. s ash
,
roasted, and reduced to powder, is a
good remedy for ; the ague ; •a tea-
spoonful given_ between the hot and
cold fit. They scrape the fine white
a
°powder from the large fungus that
grows upon the bark of the pine, in-;
to whiskey, and take it for violent
pains in the stomach. The tast . of
this powder stronly reminded e of
quinine..
I have read much of the excels nee
of Indian cookery, but I never could
bring myself to taste anything pre
pared in their dirty wigwams. ' I
remember being highly amused in
watching the preparation of a mess,
Which might have been called the
Indian hotch-potch. It consisted of
a strange mixtureoffish, flesh, and
fal, all boiled together in the ante
vessel. Ducks,artridg es, m
inonge, venison,' and musk
formed a part of the delectable
pound. These were literally
thered in onions, potatoes, and
nips, which they had procured
me. They very hospitably of
ale a dishful of the odious mix
which the odour'of the mus
rendered everything but sat
but I` declined, .simply stating tl
was not hungry. My littleboy
tasted it, but quickly left the Camp
to conceal the effect in produced up-
on him.
Their method of broiling fish,
however, is excellent. They take a
fish, just out of thewater, cut 'out
the entrails, and, without removing
the scales, wash it clean, dry it in a
cloth, or in grease, and cover it all
over with clear r :hot ashes, ` When
the flesh will part from the bone,
they draw it out of the ashes, strip
off the skin, and it is fit for the
table of the most fastidious epicure.
The deplorable want of chastity
that exists among the Iridian wo-
men of this tribe seems to have been
more the result of their intercourse
with the settlers in the country than
from any previous disposition to this
vice. The jealousy of their husbands
has often been exercised in a terrible
manner against the offending
Squaws; but this has not happened
of late years. The men wink at
these der elictions in their wives,
and share with them the price of
their shame.
The mixture of European blood
adds greatly to the physical beauty
of the half -lace, but producesia sad
falling off from the original integrity
of the Indian character. The half-
caste is generally a lying, vicious
rogue,. possess'ng the worst qualities
of both pen
