The Huron Expositor, 1871-05-12, Page 2:4 - 2. TH U•RON EX OSITOR. ROUGHING IT IN THE BUSH UK, 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 • j-aret tl, ii '& ns in English, the " Lak • of the ' Waterf ills," a very poetica inea4in , which most Indian name' have.

This sword was broad, and three -sided in the blade, and in sly ape' resembled a moving snake. T e hilt was form- ed of a hideous cary d image of one of t.eir war -gods; and m le vl illainous- looking wretch wa: er conceived by the most disto ted. imagination.
