Their tents sheltered them well., they

arms, the warriors threw all their en-

it of scalping and killing their fellews,
threw off much of their rudeness. The
women felt the change sensibly; their

bases the women; and in those tribes
where rich men bad as nao,ny as eight

of mere slaves. But on the borders of
the White Lake they had no superabun-

accordingly. It is re,adily to be Conipreliendea how the position of an Eng-

Far away to the svest, and. in a very
high northern latitude, dwelt, to-
wards the latter end of the last cen-
tury, a smell tribe of Indians. Their
numbers were few, their characters
simple and. unwarlike. Not being cel-
ebrated in arras. they had, while resid-
ing farther to the south, been so often
a prey to their fiercer neighbors, that
they had gradually retreated north-
wards, in the hope of escaping from the
forays of their enemies. Matonaza, a
young chief of twenty summers only,
corcurnanded the reduced tribe, and had
pitched. his wigwam near the waters
of a lake. A. renowned. and. indefat-
igable hunter, full of energy and per-
severance, he owned his power as
much to his individual merits as to the
renown of his father. and now that
seven -and -twenty men alone remained
of all his race. and that misfortune
and the disasters of war had driven
them to the regions less productive in
game than their former residence, his
sway was unbounded. Matonaza was as
yet without a wife; but the most love-
ly girl of his tribe. the White Sw-allow,
was to be his when his twenty-first
summer was concluded, when she her -
sett would attain the age of sixteen.
Itt general. the Dog -ribbed Indians
at that date—it was about 1770 —had
had little comeatmication with the
white man. Theis knives were still
of bone and. flint, their hatchets of
horn, their arrow -heads of slate, while
the beaver's tooth was the principal
material of their working -tools; but
Matonaza, himself hasi travelled, and
had visited Prince of Wales Port, where
he had been well received by Mr.
Moses Northon, the .governor, himself
an Indian, educated in England. Ad-
mitted into the intimacy of this per-
son, Matonaza bed acquired from
/aim considerable knowledge without
contracting any of the vices which dis-
graced the career of the civilized. red
man. He had. learned. to feel setae• of
the imananizing influences of civiliza-
tion, and held woman in a superior
light to his brethren, who pronounce
the condemnation of savage life by
making the female part of the crea-
tion little betier than beasts of bur-
den. He had hoped • for great advan-
tage to his tribe from trade witb the
pale faces; but the enmity of the Ath-
apascow Indians had ohethea all his
aspirations, and he had been compell-
ed to make a long and hasty retreat
towards the north, to save the rem-
nant of his little bend Iroan annihila-
time. In all •probability it is to sim-
ilar warlike persemitions that the high-
er northern regions owe their having
been peopled. by the race whence are
descended tate Esqpimaux.
The exigencies of the chase and the
fishery, more than any inherent taste
of the picturesque ha.d fixed Maton-
aza in a lovely spot. The wigwams of
the ymIng chief an,d his party were
situated on an elevation coramanding
a view of a lenge lake, whose borders,
round which grew the larch, the pine,
and the poplar, furnished tlamn with
firing, tent -poles, and arms. Beyond
lay lofty snow -clad hats, on which rest-
ed eternal frosts. Above the tents to
the right ahd to the north fell a vasa
cataract, which never froze even in the
coldest winter, having always a clear
eXpanee at it foot for fishing even
in the dead of tbe season. At the.foot

and his huge horns laid horizontelly on

—he could not see alma to the surface,
and on one occasion a braneh which pro-
truded only a few ineheS from the snow
caught his fore -foot, turd he rolled over
with a heavy fall. The hunters thought
they were now sure of their prey- but
the elle scrambled on his legs again in
surprisingly little time.; and as he pur-
sued his flight with unabated speed.

It was the policy of the hunters to
tarn the fugitive to where the snow
was deepest; but, as if knowing his
danger, the elk continued to keep on
comparatively hard, ground, and at
and Inequalities of the surface, he es-
caped wholly from view. His trail,
length, by the intervention of ;traene
however, could not be concealed ds
Lor many hours his pursuers followed,
only Ica nshwo rztg disthata ntcb: n frir u" aornrtras
, was
unable to obtain a glimpse of him. The
trail at length appeared to turn to-
wards a, hollow, where the hunters
might be tolerably secure of their prize;
and the two friends separated, to make
such a sweep as WOlad lead them to the
sarae point. Presently, liowever, the
animal appeared to discover his impru.d-
ence; and, at a moment when Mark was
unprepared, he saw the huge ereature
ramming on his own trail, and within
ten or twelve yards from him. The
rifle seemecl to go off of its own accord,
80 sudden was the discha,rge; but the
shot missed, and, on came the elk, its
nose no longer in the air. but pointing
full at its enemy, with the points and
edges of its tremendous antlers in ter-
rible array. Mark did not lose his
presence of mixed; but, springing behind
a young tree tvluelx was fortunately at
hand, felt bluoself for a moment in
safety. •
It was not the antlers the hunter
had to fear, for they were not used as
weapons of offeuce; but the creature,
deterrauted to tarry the war into the
enemy's quarters, struck furiously at
the intervening tree with his fore-
feet, and. Mara speedily- found thee its
shelter would not long be between lam
and his justly -incensed enemy. No
other tree was near enough at hand,
and he was too busily engaged in dodg-
ing round. and round. to be able to
load his rifle. Faster and faster fell
the blows of the fore -feet. Now a
piece of bark, now a splinter of wood,
flew off; and now the tree bent, split,
and came crashing down. Even so fell
the elk; for just at the critical mom-
ent, a bullet from the Indian chief,
who had returned to the rescue at im-
minent peril to himself, struck him ei
a vital part, and. killed hira on the spot.
The two hunters made prize of the
skin and of the more delieate parts of
the dead animal, and on returning to
their companions, loaded with the spoil.
Mark ate for the first time of elk -flesh
of his own hunting. This is consider-
ed a great delicacy by the Indians
and. all residents of the fur countries.
It is preferred by many to beef, and

When the spring had. arrtved, it was
resolved that the whole ot the male
party, save two old men,should start
on a trip to the mountains in smircb
of buffalo and elk, which they intend-
ed. to kill, dry, and drag home on
sledges mimic from the first trees they
laid their hands on. The w -omen were
to join them six weeks after their de-
parture, at a place, close to the scene of
their hunt; and thus reinforoed, the
men hoped to have an ample stock of
dried meat for the -winter. Great pre-
parations were mede on the occasion.
All the arms a the tribe were furbish-
ed up. Matonaza and Mark alone had
firearms; the rest had bows, arrows,
and spears. The women mended the
clothes of the hunters, packed their
provisions, and made the thongs to drag

spatched the best runner in the tribe
to Prince of Wales Fort. He gave him
some furs, and a message to Moses
Northon, with directions to follow the
most unfrequented trails, to travel
cautiously, end by no means to allow
the terrible Indians of Athapascow Lake
to track him. Three months passed be-
fore the runner returned, and. then he
came accompanied by a young and ad-
venturous Englishman, Who had sought
this opportunity of learning the man-
ners of the far off tribes. and ef study-
ing the geography of the interior. Ma, -
tenant received tura well. and was glad
of his assistance to lay out his fields
of corn and maize, by sowing which,
he hoped to attract his Indians to a per-
manent residence. and to destroy all
fear of famine. Mark Dalton joyous-
ly seconded his projeots. He was the
son of a gentleman who was a share-
holder in the Hudson's Bay Company,
and who joined to the love of travel,
adventure, and i he obese, considerable
knowledge of agriculture. One year
older than the Indian chief, they at
once became warra friends, and, from
tbe hour of their first meeting, were
never a day apart.
It was not without difficulty that
the cblef could get his fields dug, small

Mark worked; because the women alone the sledges with. But the chief part
followed their example, The soil was of such utensils were to be brought by
not of the best character, and the ell- them to the rendezvous. The gentle,
mate pretty rigorous; but still corn lovely, and blushing. White Stvallow
would grow, and Matonaza suffered not herself made every thing ready for her
himself to be downhearted. A whole
spring, summer, and autumn were de-
voted to these agricultural pursuits;
and when, at the end of the fine sea-
son, a good harvest. enabled the tribe
to vary their food from vension, fish.
and buffalo -meat, to corn -cakes and
other preparations of flour and maize,
all were satisfied. The Indians, natur-
ally indolent, were pleased at the pros-
pect of obtaining even their food by
the labour of the women. This was
not precisely what the youthful chief
desired. but it was still a kind of pro-
gress, and he was so far gratified.
But he did not neglect his bunting.
Eager to show Mark all the myster-
ies of his craft, Matonaza led him af-
ter the elk, which they ran down to-
gether on foot in the snow. This is the
most arduous department of Indian
hunting. The sportsmen throw away
all arms which may . embarass them,
keep.ing only a 'knife ,and a pouch con-
taining the means of striking a light.
Being practised while the snow is on
the ground, the men accordingly wear
long snoty-shoes. The Indian chief and
Mark Dalton rose at dawn of day, and
having succeeded in discovering an elk,
darted along the snow in pursuit. The
chase under ordinary circumstances
would be vain, a man being. not at all
equal to an elk in a running -match;
but on the present occasion, while the
unfortunate animal sank at every step
up to his body in the snow, the men
with snow -shoes glided along the sur-
face with extreme rapidity. With all
these disadvantages, the animal often
runs seven hours, ten hours and even
four -and -twenty in some rare instances;
seldom, however, escaping.from the pa-
tient hunter. 1Vhen reached, they
make a desperate defence. with. their
head and fore feet, and have been known
to slay their human enema.
On the present occasion, the animal
was a magnificent specimen, consider-
ably taller at the shoulders than a
horse, and his head furnished with ant-
lers of fifty pounds' weight, His coarse
and envier Mir, so little elastic that
it breaks when bent, ,was of a grayish
colour, haying probably changed at tete
beginnin.g of the winter from nearly
black, He was tracked by his foot-
prints on the snow, the hunters keep-
ing at'some distance to leeward Of the
trail, so as not to alarm the watchful
animal even by the crackling of a twig.
He was at length seen but • at too
great a distance for a saot, baying
on his hams like a dog, and seemed
at every step, but Mark was inolined to
at first in no hurry to rise. though,
when at last satisfied of the charac-
ter of his enemies, and his mind made
up for flight, he out upon his legs; but
even then, instead of bounding or gal-
loping like other, deer, he shuffled along
so heavily, his joints cracking audibly
form but a mean opinion of the sport.
Gradualle, however, its ungainly speed
increased, its hindlegs straddling trona
behind, as if to avoid treading on its
fore -heels; and when a prostrate tree

It seemed, in fact, that mai ler •a -
steeled were more dangerous to the
betrothed., to whom, on his return, she
was to be united. All was smiling.
promising, and joyous. The fields of
the little settlement were improving;
the wigwams exhibited the air of more
permanent buildings then they usually
are; and when the warriors departed
on their errand, they left behind them
a happy and hopeful community.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING:
At afternoon tea, the conversation
turned upon good hou.sekeeping, and
one of tae guests -was asked to define
the terna. After a moment's besita-
tion, he answered; "Good housekeeping
is that sort which embodies order, neat-
nees, promptness and an average am-
ount of good temper. Allowing that
the 'members of the human family are
by no means angelic, one inust not look
for too much, and it is therefore a
part of the philosophy of life to avoid
great expectations."
"Good. housekeeping," said anotiter,
"is to have a clean bouse, wholesome
food at regular meal hours and. that
restfulness thet is never found when
the presiding genius of the establish-
ment is fussy, irritable, worrisome and.
given to fretting about trines."
"Keeping a house in order," re-
marked it veteran, "is not so difficult, if
one only adopts it systeraatie course
and sticks to it."
"But, my dear," said. a venerable
raother in Israel, "aave you. ever kept
house on a system 'and lived up to it?
I have been trying it for three-soore
years, for 1 began early, anti I assure
you that there Is no fixed law about

tainty. I have many a tirne planned
my work for the day, and when every-
thing was arranged and I saw clear
sailing ahead of me, word would come
up that the preserves were working,
or the bread had turned sour, or Dick
had. dropped the egg basket and there
nos not a thing in the house to make
cake with, or the range wouldn't work,
and nobody could tell why, or any one
of the thousand and one thingsthat
beset every housekeeper who tries to
do things clear u,p to her lights on all
these subjects.

In African travel it is always wise to
visit the biggest chief in any pare of
the country, says a writer in the
Century. One can always learn from
other chiefs at a distance who they
are, and something of their charactera
In approaching them always send word
of your coming, and get, if possible,
information in advance of the feeling
of the chief toward whites. Upon
nearing the village, send on ahead to
announce your arrival, and wait until
your messengers returns with some of
the villagers to escort .you. to their
chief. Greet the chief mvilly, and ask
him to send one of his people to ehow
you a good place for your tent, if you
decide to camp in the village, which

try, thougb it le riot always advisable

you have rested the thief will come to
see you. Men state to him your busi-
ness, talk frankly with him end ex-
plain plainly your needs, wheeler you

NOT SO EASY.
FROZEN DAINTIES.
We find frozen dislaes passing under
all sorts of names, and the uninitiated
often think there ie a great difference
in. the way they are made, when in real-
ity the main difference is in the way
they are frozen. The difference be-
tween success and failure often lies in
the way the freezes is manipulated.
Sometimes I find that people will pass
a genuine water -ice and. call it sherbet,
or tile reverse may be the case. Now let
m see whierein the difference between
the two dishes liem The mixture when
it goes. into the freezer is just the SaMe.
'When the freezing is done, the water -
ice should" abe transparent, while the
sherbet should be oreamy and look like
ordinary ice cream.
To secure the transparent appearance
of the water -ice, turn the clasher a few
minutes very slowly, then rest tor about
thie same length of time. Keep alternat-
ing the stirring and resting until the
contents are stiff enough. Remove the
dasher, draw off the water, repack the
tin, and let stand for about three hours
to ripen.
Sherbet sho•uld be stirred constantly
and when frozen the white of one or
more eggs; with a tablespoonful of
sugar fox each egg, may be lightly mix-
ed m. When preparing the 'mixture for
the freezer, the sugar and water should
be boiled together and skinamed. The

may be ma instead, using half a pint
of jelly to each quart of water. Always
melee the preparation sweeter than
needed in its unfrozen state, as it will
be leas sweet after it is frozen.
