ROUGHING IT IN THE BUSH

LIFE IN CANADA.
BY MRS- MOODIE.
VOLUME rt.—C1[APTER II.
THE WILD' NESS, AND OUR INDIAN
FRIENDS.
The clouds of thepreceding night,
instead of dissolving into snow,.
brought on a rapid. thaw. ' A thaw
in the middle of winter is the most
disagreeable change that can be im-
agined. After several weeks of
a
clear, bright, bracing, frosty
weather, with a serene atmosphere
.and cloudless sky, you awake one
morning surprised$ at the change ` in
the temperature, and upon looking
the window; �-do-w behold the wo
out ofn , ods
obscured by a murky - haze—not . so
dense as an English November fog,
but black and lowring—and the
heavens shrouded. in -a uniform
covering of leaden -colored clouds
deepening into a livid indigo at the
edge of the horizon.. The snow, no
longer hard and. glittering, hash be -
cone soft and spcngy, and the foot
ali:ps into a wet and insidiously
yielding, mass at every step. From
the roof pours down a continuous
stream of water, and the branches
of the treee, collecting the moisture
of the reeking atmosphere, shower it
upon the earth from every dripping
twig. The cheerless and uncom-
fortable aspect of things without
never fails to produce a correspond-
ing effect upon the minds of diose
within, and .casts such a damp upon
the spirits that it appears to destroy
for a time all enjoyment. Many
persons (andmyself among the num-
ber) are made aware of the approach:'
of a thunder storm by an -intense
Pain and Weight about the hears, and
I have heard numbers of Canadians
contialain that a thaw alwaysmade
themfeel bilious and heavy, and
greatly depressed_ their animal
spirits. .
I had a great desire to visit our
new location,but w:ien I looked out
r�pon the cheerless, a ast;e,1 gave up
the idea, and contented myself with
hoping for a better day on the .mer-
r±ow, but many morrows came and
vent before the frcst a airithardened.
the road sufficiently for me'to make
the attempt.
The prospect froin the" windows
*)f my sister's log hut was not very
prepossessing. The small lake in.
front, -wiriest formed such a pretty
object in summer, now looked like
an extensive field covered with
snow, hemMed in from the rest of
,'
the �vorl-worldby adark belt of sombre
pine woods. The clearing round
the house was very small, and _only
just reclaimed frolu the wilderness,
and the greater part of it covered
with piles of brush wood. to be burn-
ed. the first (ley days of spring. The
. charred and blackened stumps on
the few aci es that had been cleared
daring . the preceding year-. were
every thing but-pieturesq jue , and. I
c o a luded, as I turned, disgusted,
from the- prospect before me, that
-there was very little beauty to be
ft, und in. the backwoods. But. I
came to this decision during a Cana-
dian thaw, 110 it re:ne11 bored, when
one is wotrt to•ciew every object with
jaundiced eyes.
Moodie had only been able to se-
cure sixty six acres of his 'govern
. taunt grant, tlpQn the Upper Kutelta-
wanook Liaise, _which, being inter1t

eh-rgly r esc the of two- isundred acre
adjuieting ; and he afterwards pu
ebeteed a fine lot, which like -wit
formed a part of the same block, on
hundred aures, for £L3t).'fi Th s.
was an. enormously high price f -r
wild land ; but the prospect of caper
isg the Trent anti Utonabee far tl
navigation of steamboats and otl.r
email crafts, was at that period
favorite speculation, and, its ''racti
ability, and the great adVaLntaeps
be derived from it, were so wide y
believed, as to raise; the value of tl e
wild Lards along these remote waste s
