PIONEER LIFE,
Or a. First Settler's Life in the
Bush.
(WRITTF.N FOR Tui ENPOSI,TOR.)
.About forty years ago a party consisting
of three men with their wives and children
landed in America, after a stormy voyage
aeroes the Atlantic. They had left their
homes and native lenci, and the dear, loved
friends behind many and true, and had come
to seek new homes in the wilds of a Can-
adian forest. Arriving at Montreal they
travelled westward and settled in the county
of Huron. The letter part of their jour-
ney was performed with great hardships,
especially for the women and children, as
the only mode of conveyance was with
oxen and carte, sometimes being compelled
to travel on heat and wash themselves
and their clothing in the streams and
creeks that they came to iu their travels,
and glad indeed were they' when
they had arrived at their journey's
end. The women and children weue first to
the house of a neighbor at swine distaace
from where they finally settled, and steid
until- they were eornewhat rested. Mean-
while the men made what preperations they
could towards erecting homes for them-
selves and their families.
The three brothers took up land at no
great distance apart, but being better ac-
quainted with the history of one I will try
to give a sketch of his life, and that of his
family in the bush," for it was then an
almost unbroken forest. He had few
neighbors and fewer conveniences, but he
had. a brave heart and willing hands, and
was determined to make the me3l:es:1f_ his
new surroundings. By the fall of the year,
with the help of hia brothers and neigh-
bors, he had erected a log home and steble
and made what preparations he could for
the coming witeter. It did indeed seem
hard to call their new abiecle home, but they
were looking forward to' 4 better days." He
Spent ITIOSt of his time in chopping down
the trees and clearing up his land, but it
was very different then from what it is
now. He hsd few tools and his clothing
and food were coaree as were also thine of
his family. The wind howled and whistled
through the trees and at night, more dismal
than the sighing of the wind, could be
heard the cry of the wolves, as they ran
barking and clamoring through the woods,
sometimes quite near and agaiu far off. It
was not aifi infrequent sight to see a band of
them chasing a deer, or to hear that they
had carried off a cell or sheep from some
poor settler. Our settler," of whom this
tale is told, kept his sheep at night in an
enclosure made around the house for the
protection of the animals, and one night af-
ter tho family were in bed, the frightened
sheep came rushing up against the door,
and when it Wag opened came right into the
house. Without waiting to drese himself,
our friend ran out, calling to his dog, but
two of his sheep had disappeared and one
of the remaining four was badly torn. Sheep
were something every settler must needs
have, as from the wool the thrifty housewife
spun the yarn for the family stockings, reit,
tents and hoods amd made the homespun with
which to clothe them, and at which employ-
ment she apent a good deal of her time.
The clothes thus made they wore on all oc-
casions, 8ebbeths and week days alike, If
the fire was allowed to go out they had to go
to their nearest neighbor, which was a mile
distant, for some coele to light it again, as
matches were unknown, To supply the
want of a stove at first, they left one corner
of the roof uneovered and built the fire un-
derneath, so that the smoke ascended
through the opening. They hung their pots
over the fire, and in this way prepared their
food. This contrivance was succeeded by
the large, cheerful, open fireplaces or by
stoves.
The road at this time was marked only by
blazed treea. There was a larger settlement
five miles off, where our settler obtained
grain for seed ard a few fowls and other ani-
mals, but the nearest mill where he could
obtain flour for bread was about twenty-
seven miles distant, and as the road could
not ba travelled all the way with oxen he
sometimes walked almost the entire dis-
tance carrying home as much flour as be
could manage on his shoulders. Of course
one man seldom if ever went alone on such
an errand. Often the anxious mother could not
rest or sleep at such times, fearing that some-
thing might happen her dear one or their
belongings in his absence, and fearing for
the safety of him who had to face the hard-
ships of such a journey; that he might be
eaten by wolves or drowned while croseing
the streams or river in his route over
which there were at this time only tem-
porary fixtures in place of bridges. And
what a welcome he would receive on his re-
turn, tired but glad, the happy faces of his,
wife and children would greet him and the
best their forest home could provide made
ready for his repast.
The hut a as small and rude the cheer
Butlove had spread the banquet there."
Of course this state of things oould not
long continue. People were coming into
the country and before long all or nearly all
the land around was taken up by people
like themselvee, anxious to make homes for
themselves and their families.
In those days there existed among the
early settlers a common feeling ,of kindness,
and they helped each other Iwith hearty
willingness, and often tendered their eaglet-
ance, where they 8.3'.5' ia was required, with-
out being asked to dor so. Logging bees
were frequently made,when all the neighbors
would be present with their aturdy ox teams
to easist the work of choppiag, hauling logs
and bruah, and piling them into large heaps
to burn, and as there is strength in num-
bers they would often meke quite a clearing.
These bees were frequently the cause of
much mirth in after days, as there was
generally emne jolly fellow present in the
person of a Pat or a Highlander. Before
long there was a village named Wroxeter
formed about three miles from our settlers,
so that they were able to obtain flour and
other necessities much more easily than be-
fore. New roads were opened,churches and
schools erected, and so the country progress-
ed steadily. Our friend's elearing was be-
ing continuously enlarged, and was now
large enough to enable him to grow grain
to support himself and 'family and feed for
his animals. So that soon „instead of an
unbroken forest there were fields of waving
grain, small at first,but gradually enlarging.
Sown and gathered again by dint of hard
labor, as the implements for tilling the soil
were of a very inferior kind, compared
with those now in use, for instead of mow-
ers and self -binders they had only the scythe
and cradle. Their buildings also were very
unlike the convenient, comfortable ones of
to -day, and when they could grow consid-
era.ble grain they could tell of long rides to
market, twenty-seven miles or thereabouts,
in all sorts of weather and bad roads, with
slow ex -teams, of narrow escapee from be-
ing drowned or lost in the .woods and
losing their animals in marshy places, par-
tially cleared, and many another tale of
those early times. But in spite of all thee
hardships and drawbacks, they were as
happy and contented as the people are
now. Now and then the tender cords of
their hearts would be touched, and their
bury hands !stayed by a letter or perhaps a
paper from their Fatherland, telling them
of the welfare, sometimee of the death of
some of those whom they had known in
Auld Lang Syne," and sent their mem-
ories roving back over the past and happy
days of long ago, although they never
thought of returning there to stay again,
They loved their new imme and were proud
of it and its surroundings. A fine creek
partially shaded by tall evergreene, ran
along the front of their farm, out of which
they fished many a trout. The older child-
ren were now grown almost to men and wo-
men, and sharing with their parent° the

For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said stomach was about
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food for a time at
least. I was so weak that I could
not work. Finally on the recom-
mendation of a friend who had- used

be spared they attended school three miles
distant, and studied in the evening. Bookei
and papers were dear aud scarce with them
then. They learned to work hard while
young, and endure hardships which were
then a Canadian necessity. About this
time the father of the family was taken ill,
and in spite of all that could be done, after
a short illness his spirit took its flight
home, and his sorrowing widow and family,
consisting of eight children, were left to
battle alone. No grand hearse was sent for
to carry his body to its last resting piece,
or no carriages folloed afterobut strong,
brave hearts were not ashamed to weep for
him whom they had known and loved, as
along the rough road they went to lay in the
dust one of the first of Ontario's brave -
hearted settlers. The wife and children
took up the struggle bravely, though with
many a longing and heartfelt need of him,
who had been their stay in times of trouble
and trial. The children did not forget the
example or teaching of the honored pa-
rent who had gone before, and roe to be
known among the foremost in the county

Seen of' Men.
Sunday was busiest day of the week with
Miss Rush, though every day was crowded
with duties which drove her, she often
thought, like hard task•masters. She never
forgot that she was the ministerhs daughter,
and that the congregation looked to her for
a good example. Oa this especial Sundey
she rose with an aching heart and dim eyes.
She had been at work late with the Shop -
Girls' Guild the night before. These girls
looked up to her as a model of piety and
good -breeding, and she never missed one of
their meetings.
"Teach me my verses, sister," shouted.
Bob, climbing on her bed before she eves
awake. "1 don't know one for Sunday -
school,"
"0h, do go away," she seid pettishly,
pushing Min down.
She was so tired and wotried that she
could not think of her prayers. She mumbled
over some familiar words, and then dress-
ed herself. Margaret, the German nurse,
was walking to and fro with the baby in the
next room, She had been with it half of
the night, but how rosy and smiling she
'coked, and what a happy hymn she was
singing.
" She has only menial work to do,"
thought Miss Rush. "She has not the eyes
of the whole congregation on her."
Breakfast was hurried through in silence.
Then she dressed herself carefully -her
pupils were fashionable girls, with keen,
critical eyes -and rushed away to Sunday -
school. Not only were her girls critical,but
to -day the superintendent sat near her,
listening to her explenation of the lesson.
She naturally exerted herself to the utmost.
After Sunday -school, church. She was lead-
ing soprano in the choir, and sang anxious-
ly, knowing that much was expected of her.
At home, as she was going into luncheon,
she saw Margaret in the garden with the
baby in her lap, laughing es she played
with it.
"Must you have the care of the baby all
day to -day, as well as during the night, now
that he is quite well ?"
"Your mother is not at home, you know,
Mees. She leave the baby in my care."
Miss Rush dispatched luncheon hastily,
and then hurried to a bible -class which she
taught; then to a hospital to sing hymns in
the convalescent ward; after that to the
city prison to read to the women convicts.
She was always careful to fulfil these duties,
as she knew that both the patients and the
prisoners were much impressed with the
self-sacrifice which brought a girl of twenty
to serve them. Thus the hours were filled
up till it was nearly time for evening ser-
vice. She heeitated as she prepared to go
out. Should sho offer to take care of the
baby and seed Margaret to church? No.
The congregation would think it strange if
the minister's daughter should not be in her
piece.
She took her seat in the choir and joined
in the hymn. When it was finished the
choir -master said to her:
"Your voice legs to -night, Miss Rush.
You put DO life into it."
It seemed to her that she had put no
life into anything. She felt as if she had
been posing all day for an audience on a
stage, and posing -badly. As she went to
her room, she 8 W Margaret sitting by the
baby's cradle. The color had gone out of
her plump cheeks, but she smiled brightly
as Miss Rush entered.
"His teeth keep him awake a good deal,"

,
she said. "1 think I shall have to sit up
to -night. Your mother is not at home, you
know."
Miss Rush looked at her curiously.
" Margaret, are you never tired !"
" Oh, yes, often."
" Why are phi happy, then, at your
work ?"
The girl's face reddened. She hesitated,
then answered gravely, "When I was come
into the church, I promised ot to do all
my work in God's eye, When I am tired I
say, 'He sees me,' and then my heart is glad
and I laugh and sing- hymns again."
Miss Rush left her and shut herself up in
her own room. She remembered the text,
"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to
the Lord, and not unto men." She had not
heard her father's comments upon it, But
this poor servant's word and example were
better than any sermon, and henceforth Miss
Rush, too, could say, "He sees me, and my
heart is glad."

"But you never will have," she asserted.

fascinated him, "every chance in your case

It was the merest chance, but it netted
