A religious Pritis sves— st o coaverted sn editor; the latter was advised to Dura a few candles to the Virgin: next day he felt a desire to pray, and before the end of the week his advertisements and subscriptions had increased by 25 per cent. *¢Ah, there's nothing like purity!” exclaimed a clergyman at a tea-party given by one of his parishioners, as thg hostess was pouring tea. “Ya'as, pareon.” replicd the mood hostess, much put out, * but you can't find no purer tea than this *ere, that cost seveu and six a pound, if you look six mouths for it.” Nervous Little Bob R. was nearly frizhtened into fits one day when bungling old Parson Pew, in his bard, unsmiling way, with a voice like thunder, 2sked him suddenly: “Who made the world in six days and rested the severth?” “I did!" screamed the bursting into tears, **but—I’ll—uever—do so—any more!™ You can't pick up the family Bible at this sesson of the year without making your wife and sister_scream, and filling the room with ecattered ferns and autumn leaves in all stages of presseduess. 01 this account we have been compelled to deprive ourself of the estimable privileze of perusing that vrecious book any- where except at the office. If we may believe the Whitehsll Review, the doctrine of the old English song of * Bibo* has Just beenput toa ical wse by a Russian armv Chaplain. Addressing his regiwent before its departure for the scat of war, he said that cowards would be punished in hell “ by stand- ing in brandy up to_ their neck without being siluwed to enjoy & drop of the liquor.™ At the laying of a corner-stone of a church in Western New York last week a collection was taken up. Just at that time a farmer, who was driving along with 8 load of cabbagvs, stopped t0 see what was going ou. The clereyman who was in charge of the exercises at once asked him for a Gonatiou. Hesuid he had no cash, but would give the cabbages if they could be sold by auction on the spot. So the parson turned suctioneer, sud cabbazes were soon converted into cash. The profit to the church on this {rausaction was nearls §20. These people will, probably, pray for more men to come along with cabbages. I A teacher of a Sunday-school in the interior of New York was impressing upon the scholars 2 lesson in connection with the death of one of their number. She told them tuat little Amy was now a saint in_heaven. Whereupon one of the girls cpoke up and said: *She will ot pienty of preserves there.” Astonished to hear her make sach a stranee statement, the teacher questioned her to ascertsin what could have put the idea into her mind. It was finally traced to the following question and answer in the cate- chism: *‘Question—Why ought the saints to love God?” ¢ Answer—Because He makes, preserves, and keeps them.” Said the granddaughter of the Rev. Samuel Nott, long since dead, one Sundsy eveuing: *- Father, ¢o you kmow that you repeated this 2fternoon the very sermon you preached this ‘morning?” He saw it at once, but nis mind be- ing as active and he as plarfully cheerful as ever, he bad no ilea of admitting it, and so leasantly said, * Why, daughter, how can yon so mistaken?” *“ But, fathier,” she replied, *&you did, and all the congrezation know it." “ Daughter,” he replicd, * was the bread you msde fast week the same as vou made this?? ““Why no, of course not.” * But,” he con- tinoed, “it was made out of the same flour, irom the same barrel, in the_ same way, and baked in the same oven, and I rather think it must have been just so with my sennon.” INTERRCPTED TABLE-TALK. ‘The other evening the Rev. Mr. Philacter sat gown at the tes-tale with 2 very thoushtful air, and attended to the wants of his brood in 2 very abstracted menner. Presently he looked &t his wifc and said: “The Apostle Paul—" “Got an awful lump on the head ’safter- Dpoon,” broke in the pastor’s eldest son, * play- ing base-ball. Bat flew out of the striker's Lznds when 1 was umpire, and cracked me right above the ear, av’ dropped me. Hurt? Golly!” and the lad shook lis bead in dismal but ex- ;w:cssh'e pantomime as he tenderly rubbed a nmpilkat looked like a billiard ball’ with bair onit. -The pastor gravely paused for the inter- ruption, and resunied * The Apostle Paui: *Saw Mrs. O’Gleminie down at Greenbaum’s this alternoon,” said bis eldest daughter, ad- dressing her mother. *“She had on the samc oid everlasting black silk, madc over with a vest of tillen! green siik coat-tail-basque pattern, cverskirt made with diagopal folds in fromt. edzed with deep fringe; yellow straw hat, with black velvet facing inside the brim, and pale blue flowers. She’s zoing to Chicago.” “'he good minister waited patiently, and then, in tones just a shade louder tban before, said: * The Apostle Paul—" “Went {n swimmin® last night with Bnrr; and Ben, pop, and stepped on a clam-shell, z-xu'ldmndr):;s ‘voungest son, ‘ cut my foot so I can’t wear my shoe; and please can’t I stay bume to-morrow ! “ The pastor informed bis sou that he might stay away trom the river and then resumed his tople. He said: - The Apostle Paul says—"" “ My teacher is an awful liar,” shouted the secona son; ** hesays the world is as round as an orange and it turns round all the time faster thap a circus man can ride. I guess he hain't got much eense.”’ ‘The mother lifted a warning finger toward the boy and said—*sh!” and the father re- sumed: “ The Apostle Paul says—" “ Don't bite off twice as much 25 vou can chew,” broke out the cldest son, reproving the assault of his little brother on a picce of cake. The pastor’s face showed just a trifle of annoy- ance as he said, In very firm, decided toncs: “The Apostle Paul says—" “There's a fly in the butter,” shrieked the youngest hopeful of the family, and a general lzugh followed. When silence wwas restored the cll‘ilc%'; :ll“g!,;t‘f? wlllh an air of curlosity, said: T wh:i,me'Apu;u:’m uf‘sl:::i ,wgnld like'to know “ Pass me t! :d," Bently, e musta:d,"” said the pastor, ab- Then the Committee rose and the Scnate weat into exceutive sessiy T lon and soon after ad- PERSONALS.

While the jasmine-wreaths, in beanty drest, Wave, and nod, and beckon {o me, And the Southerz. breeze, with a gentle sweep, Scatters oranze-blossoms at my feet; But clouds, and blossoms, and winds belate Re-echo, and marmur, and whisper, ** Waic!" Ihove waited long, and the stars come out, ‘And the wind's soft murmur has changed to donbt, The threatening storm-clouds sweep over the sky, The surge of the sea is heard rfom afar, The moaning breeze re-cchoes my sigh, And Danger lurks near the harbor-bar. The blossoms scatter thick and fast, While the sky more darkly is overcast: The cricket's shrill chirp is loudly heard, And the wings of the homeward-hurrying bird, And children shout, with steps belate, While Iin the darkness, silent, wait. The raindrops slowly patter down— Lixe pitving tears they fall on my face. The late-tlamung West wears a darksome frown, And the sursing wavcs sweep over the place Where, when the sunlight flickered through The marled fir-brauches, I stood with you, And with breaking heart knew then my fate Would be in thc shadows alone to wait. 1 have waited long. and darkness now Shadows my heart, as it shades my brow.

MoxDAY, 22d.—Thellouds that lowered onour Thouse last night are 2 the deep bosom of the ocean buried, for thl morning we woke: to a. very. resplendence of sunshine, which exhila- rated us into the best € spirits. True, we missed some of the boisterus fun or chaffing with which we were wontto welcome in the merry morn, and we wished Pratt and Demson were with us, for their ow longer plessurcin the pastimes of the Brule' When the second order of the day (breakfast ti first) was reached, the ‘Dusiness on hand ws proceeded with. Paul .| pushed us, in the Dikey, up the stiff current to several of the daper pools, at cach of which we held fora space of time, and, most prosperously, put in for the fish, aud our chief concern ws to fiad, not where the trout were most mundant, but where the largest were. The small fry can be pulled plenteously in almot any run of the river, but the heavy swells bye their haunts, usually under a bauk’ wher¢ the water runs close up and deep, or unde¢ logs, or deep holes. or iu ond below rpids, or in the depths of the chanu They are coy uud wary, and musi be somewhat conxed and tickled with a caufous, delicate, and aainty dalliance. We hapiened on some of these lairs of the larger tish, aid right gatlantly did they show tie gamesont stufl they arc made of. There was a_comnotion in the waters when they stretebed a liw or bent a tip. I envied Iigh the repeated ontest und final capture of oné particular trout splendid in his mettle, his proportions, and wiequaled beauty. O his first dash at the fiy e appeared in the clesr water as ‘if "he weie a flash of deep red, fluttering flame, so brilliant in colcr he was, Butle wasnot then taken.

We all rezretted lie could not be kept alive or preserved, to be taken home for a show. He would be a marvel of beauty in a parlor aquarium or fish-globe. Ile was cnough a wonder and worthy to be kept as a pet, as the famous lamprey was in the pond of Crassus, the orator. But all that could be done with him was to con- sign him to the vouk for the frying-pan.

The rain of last iht is in the river now, and swelled it visibly. [ rhit ut our camp the trout bave come with the river; it now slips smoothly alpng, and we eausht trout there. ~ At ' some rapids, where Pratt and T struck one of our luckiest “‘leads,” we could not now et a single rise;— probably hecause the water is too turbulent,— but it shows—what, indeed, we kuew before— that tie fish are fugitive and wandering, and do not stay long in 2 place when there is water enough to swim them generally about. In fact, the trout are the wandering Tartars ot the waters. But the feat of catching one of these Tartars §s no great shakes of a feat almost angwhere in this river. A trout skipped ovel log to suatch High's fly, and did smatch it, on or after the leap., but paid dearly for his ecccentric jumping, for he was captured and fried. I also sawa trout leap horizontally, at least two fect, barely above aud in Jine with the surface. This appeared to me as ludicrous as any mischievous auticsol a wmonkey. Cateh this afternoon, 53; whole day, 165. TRuRSDAY, 23d.—1 2ot up in the night to close the flaps of the tent, and witnussed a pretty lunar effect. Fog was thick over the river, and the moon, directly opposite to or fronting the camp, shone radiantly lustrous, and scemed to form a narrow pathway of illuminated fog or golden haze stretching from the brink at our feet in rising perspective; clear and defined, up to the very face of the moon. Early this morning, the whole flock of sawbills that ill- omenta our Michigami voyage,or some others of the nefarious family, appeared fn front of the tent, and began paddling their web-foot pro- pellers for a swim. Some onc fn camp fright- encd them,—they didn’t stay on the order of their going, but squawked and_scattered in ter- ror.Dentson would, possibly, have been willing to stay over for so promising s broadside as they offered. We have a lodge or scttiemcnt of ‘small red-squicrels around us. They are very frisky, and the trees near by are. poisy Wwith their chirping and chat- tering. “They venture occasionally on the trees overhanging the tents. Une of them, just uow, was doing some trapeze fantastics on the alder-bushes within twenty feet of us, bending down slender branches, swinging from one to another, swaying on twigs, and cutting shines generally. We also saw three chasing one an- othier in a jumping race on logs, merrily squeak- Ing 8s they went. Their caperines are constant, There are small birds, like sparrows,® flitting among the bushes in hide-and-go-seek motions, and twittering little trills. A chipmonk some- times comes and turns his wose towards us, takes a look, and then hunts his hole. Rarely the croak of a rayen, or moaning of a loon high flying, the rat-tut of a sapsucker, the jerking notes of a. jaybird, and some other bird sounds not famiiiar to us, are heard, and prove that bird-life is more varied and abundant here thau on the Michigami. But even here. the feathered choristers are not, either in number or variety, what would be ex- peeted in these grand groves. High has been thoughtful enougi of the better half,serving the houschold gouds at home, to =ather and press for ber sume of thechoicest of the ferns. We rigzed Tabo with tackle, and he went out with Paul in the canoc to try what Indian skill was ina match with the trout. They sported so much to the purpose, in thelr path of dalliance with the fish, as to return an invoice of filty-three. After dinger we cruised for trout. By some whim or caprice we had a faucy for passame around an islund, a little chute_between it and the mainland, After we ascended it, some dis- tance from the entrance, it s0 narrowed and the foliage €0 overstretehed it, and snags, sunk- en logs, and brush were so thickas to make it a sort of water corduroy way, that it was hard to pushthe birch-barkalons, though Paul strugeled manfully to wind through the crooked course, and we got in so far that to return were as tedious as go ouw. A 1ew gushes ahead, where only a very short line could e thrown High by mere chaiice poked in his rod, and put his it close to the bank with o thicket of alders and limbs overbanging,—there was a small dark strip of water and he dropped the fly in that. It looked to me like a forlorn hope of a place for trout, and I didn’t attempt @ cast. But the dip of his fiy was a magic touch, and be struck a lusty trout, and satisfied him. sell that he had found a covert of fish. ' The bint was followed up. The serond throw, lay- g In his y at the very edme of the stream in the dark strip, proved to be the mas- ter-stroke of all Brale fly-fishing. The rod was sorely tried, the reel revolved musically, the line spun ont tauc down stream, and to prevent the fish from getting lost or fouling the line in the brush and ' logs, Was o critical and turning point, and when held up, or drawn by recling wle. His game was obstinate aud protracted, but he was at lenuth tired out, and_was slowly and caretully hauled in. Poul and I, as welt as High, were rapt in admiration over -the prize. He was the leviathan or monarch trout of the Brule,—larger than any kaown to, or heard of by, any of g5 taken in this river. Noue weight- ed him at less than a pound and a quarter,— twelve or thirteen ounces being, probably, the averaze of the larger trout here. High was tickled almost, into extravagant exbiliration over his capture. What avolley of admiring ex- clamations be poured out!” What a sereno cx- pression of face and halo of smiles he wore, and lmw often - he .spoke of him, and how many times ha oper.ed his basket to be sure he was there, as thoueh, Jike Falstalf chuckling over the fallen Percy, and then soliloguizing, ' What if hie should riseagnin?’? he wasn't sure whether his trout would renew the ficht snon, I cannot undertake to note. Iknow he said he felt better on the.taking of that trout than if he Dad taken o successful verdict in a law-suit, “I'his will be his red-letter day in his calendar of trout days. What we got in our sweeps further on, though sizing above the usual average, [ suspect, abpeared to him noy, alter his splendid capture, a trifie tame. No doubt that fish took areat deal of the tuck out of his ambition. he river is risen much from rains, and the larier tish are in more general circulation. In fact, our sport was 8o ood, in size and number, that High said that. for once, he had had all the trouting he wanted, and so, with 151 taken, we made- tor camp. The day has been the finest in breeze and sunshine, the eveniog is_cool and calin, and the unclouded moonlight tinges the lundscape in yellow glow. We feel genial as the wuarmth of the log fire, and bright as its blazes, and are taking it casy as if everything is, and is to be, a5 serene as the night. FR1DAY, 24th.—Tabo, thinking, perhaps, that a day os propitious as yesterday should be crowned with more than commgn comfort for the night, cut down a heinlock standing by the camp, and despoiled {t of its boughs to make us afresh spread for our sleeping. These boughs made for us a couchas much to our ease # down or feathers might make. The bulmy slecp, which was our tired mature’s sweet re- storer, was as deep as the slumber of infant fionocency in the cradle. We had thounght to have another day of it in Chickabiddy Camp. But we find the water-rise is running out rapidly, and ‘it was reported from the bureau of cookery that certain stores were cxhausted and others were shrinking beautifully less. The fear of a food-famine ex- pedited our former start from the camp across the river, and, as we are sated with sport, we will make but little of asacrifice in an ouward move. High was still harping on his big trout. I don’t know what his war record is, but I doubt if any »inele event of it, in the field or on the mageh, witl be a more complacent recol- lection than that of the capture of the trout. He should have a starling taught to cry him * Mortimer.” {t was served for breakfast, and, much of a trout gourmet as he is, he had all he could do to makeaway with it. I hadn’t the brass to take the share of it _he offered me. He relished every fibre of it. He exercised his j 0 it with a smack of gusto like what is d to be that of a hungry Fejee epicure on issionary pot-pie. Ahout 8, without much ade adicu to Camp Chickabidds, but a memory of our four days of life there will live, and * will not down,” infall our future. A naif- e away from it we saw & beauty of a fawn, in its coat of many spots, standing fixed and still at the mouth of a little rill, It didn’t have its cye-teeth cut, or it wouldn’t have stood so near and cluse to s, within casy range, but we were just abreast or slizhily below it when we first saw it. Tabo had to fumble in his pocket tora cap, and before he got his gun ready we were considerably below. The crack of the rifle sent it bounding but unbarmed into the wouds. Hardly a half-mile further,a large- Tiorned buck was iaving bis dappled form in the ter. He was out of rile distance, and caught t of us too soon io admit of auny steaith or being played on him by our aborizince. But Tibo said - he wanted to scare bim anybow, and when the deer turned for the bushes “Tabo let Ay, and the buck plunged and tore the water wide open in his panic to set his Loofs on shore. On the passing we touk trout enough toset the dinner and supper with. In these passings om we_ scarcely recogni: e Brule of S The = woodman’s ax has been diligent in felling spaces of wood in the virgin forest, in whose shadow and solitude this river of trout ran undisturbed, “remote from by nts of men.” The chopper's cut- tings ible, frequentty, in the lower ten miles. aud these change the landmarks. But we struck_one familiar spot_when we put in at up Tabo for dinuer. . When here.in 1875 we :d on a huge pine, fresh barked for tlie purjose, our names and the figures of the cateh of that trip. We then supposed we were leav- ing behind us a proud, triumphal memorial of our trouting prowess, when we . scored the emphal figures 774, though we caught a few afterwards. Looking at these now, we tkink we can put on great airs, par- ticularly over our former selves, when our rotl of honor counts its merit-mark up to 1,338, and we have spent less than balf the time with the fly that we did then. The count of each indi idual in_this total is: High, 5245 Pratt. ¥iu 253; Deuison, 217, and, besides these, abu, ‘When at dinper, and as be progeed the fiftl trout with his fork, High remarked that he abways thought blessings were brightest as they depart, and he inteuded, for his part, to make the most of the last messes set before him.

Our trouting is practically cnded, and at this camp the rods were shd into their covers for final carriage home. Thereis a lommen’s camp a mile or more: above Brule Yalls. The pine cabin and the clearing here are innovations sinee we were here before. It is the rendezvous or living quarters of “the men who iter come to cut logs, which are floated to inec on the spring tloods. Three or four men live here now, who'are clearing a farm in the hard-wood ~ground just by, We “hove to” to replenish with what wevould getof supplies for the bread-basket. The vccupants of the cabin were the cook, a jolly- looking Frenchman, lazily smoking a pipe, and ““ Bobbie,” s’ dog, who wagged us bis tail in friendly “welcome, and hospitably rubbed his nose on our trousers when we sat.” Some parts of the walls were frescoed with wood-cut clip- pings from petorial papers far out of date, and these, with familiar Kitchen and houschold fur- witure, reminded us we were now approaching scttlements, inhabitants, and civilization. Itis curious to recall that, since the 8th inst., when we leit Republic, until we faced this pot-slinger, and with the exception of the redskin and the squaws on the Faint, we have not scen a single human face or habitation, or signs. of either; unless the trails we crossed are considered - such signs. And the portasc trails are so seldom impriated with a human foot that Nature almost reclaims them by growths alonr them back to their native wilduess, so that they are often obscure and treacherous. A travel by land and water as Tone aud far as oyfs, and through regions as wide apart, with nothing in sight but all-per- vading Nature, and not even the rude and meare ploncering evidences of the outpost or {rontier serves to show the utter silence, vast- ness, and wilidness of the wilderness still primi- tive in the forms inpressed by the first Creator. He atonc was present on the pathways of our advance. These leaves will have many a season yet to fade and fall © before much of this wilderness will blossom as the rose. And we are not “out of the woods™ yet! We trailed around Brule Falls, virtuatly the end of the river, for just here it and the Paint comminele waters. “We bad hoped to reach Tom King's cobin at Bad- water to-nizht, but finding it would be too bard a pull on Tabo and Paul we turned ashore and raised our Ebenczer at o point below the Mich- izami (coming into the mingled Paint and Brule, five miles below their confluence at the falls), where the branches of the river around three or four islands come together. On this point is an immense log-drift lodged there und beaved up by the freshets. The h%flhcst part of the drift is at least thirty feet above low-water mark, showing the force and height of the floods which whirled and jammed them there. SATURDAY, 25th.—We left the bones of ourlast trout mess around our breakfast-stump this morning. - Excepting the venison, with the flayor of which we expect to vary and eurich our repasts on the Menominee, we are coming down to the hard-pan and staples of cookery. Ifit be true that kingfishers make nests of small fish-bones, they will-find our camping-grounds on the Brule bone-yards of the richest profit to them. Excellent windfalls of trout skeletonry —enough to provale nests to hatch and rear the broods of all mext . sesson—and cnough, one would think, to show that we recent bonme-pickers had had enough of fish diet to test the theory of Agas- 8iz and others, that it is the bes} of brain nutri- ment. This hint to the kingfishers how to feather their nest was suggested by one of that swooping after a sucker or chub for a morning meal. Our start down is somewhat hastened by the wish to reach and sce my namesake, ‘Tom King, our former guide, at Badwater. Inpagan christening, lis mame Weaubinyket, which our Menominecs told us compounded thus,— HWeau- biny, white,—ket, arm. So Tom King {s * White Arin” When lio was with us we thought Lim “white,” and we expected to grect himas a *““man and brother,” and perbaps have anuther tackle with his Ojibbewayiiterature. We were disappointed. On drawing in to his landing, at Badwater, the door of his mansion was promptly, and with a notable emphasis, shut up, and the latch-string wasw’t left hang- ing out, either. This we took to be Indian for the polite, but similarly meaning, formula of good soclety in the city, “not at nome.” How- ever, there was nothing p:oud about us, and thinking a hint was not just a kick, and as we were in want of certain” things, particularly some pitch for the canoe, we commissioned Tabo as bearer of the dispatches to Madame King (the Weanbinykettle of the house). He performed the errand at the doorway (which she cvidently feared "bhe might " try to forcee, and returned with the " information that her liege Indian lord was absent uy the Michigami, also, tlat Pratt and Denison inved- cd her premises about 11 that rainy pight, drenched and iu a high state of _appetite. This circumstance was, probably, the key to the mystery of cold shoulder shown us at her threshold. Tney probably ate up everything in the house and cleaned out the winter stores, hesides, possibly, monopolizing the houschold Leds and blankets, and sending the mother squaw. and the little Weaubinykettles to the kitchen-floor to snore away a hapless nizht. So that o8 apparition of palefaces just from the woods and reduced to mighty meagre rations was & synonym to her “‘untutored mind * of famine and freezing both. Upon solemn meditation, we wrapped ourselves in our meta- phorical mantles of charity, and in that evan- gelical frame of mind went on our way forglv- ing and forgetting our vicarious treatiment”on account of Denison and Pratt. We paddled across, and called at one of the cabins over there for some pitch, if possible, We didn't getenourh to verify the proverb that whoever toucheth pitch, he is defiled. This was a pitch of disappointment rather inconvenient to us. We found there a squaw and three small boy apooses. Whether their father was the ohn Brown that had ‘“one little, two little, three little Indian boys” we didn’t peep into the family record fly-leaf of their Chippewa Bible to sce. A mile below is Badwater Crossing, a ferry, in the road opened last year to the log camp above Brule Falls. aud also a frontier pine-log tavern, with the imprint on a shake over the main door, * Mon- treal Badwater House.” Itis on a bluff, in a' handsome situation, has a rarden, and there are several apartments in it.. Peul Miller is the Bomface. And because it has a bricht- eyed comely woman to mistress it, the house- hold was all snue. neat, and tidy. Mr. D. . Lloyd, of THE TRIBUNE, has been making home here o few days, and, after draw- ing deers’ blood at Badwater lakes and getting a spoil of venison to take to Chicago, he set out on a stout. pair of shanks yesterday for a point on_the new rail- road somewhere "in the woods. He has herea little beauty of a birch-bark canoe, pretty as a tiny fairy craft. Here acain we realized the thow_utful attention of Arthur T. Jones, of Marinette. He nad forwarded here for us pacl l aces of Chicago papers, and letters from those who had something sweet and domestic to tell of home. Jones himself is a devoted and skill- ful * brother of the angle,”” ana no exception to milkmaia Maudlin’s mother’s praise in the ‘‘Complete Angler.” * All anglers be such honest, i, uiet men.” Could we gzet blessings rained on his head, we should invoke him 2 plenteous shower of them. We are set so much [n spirit with our surround- ings that neither Gibbon’s fight, nor Hall’s dis- covery of a satellite of Mars, nor the war of Os- manlf and Muscovite, nor could any freshet of news now sensationalize us out of the charm, composure, and doice far nienie of our uncom- pleted voyaze. We will borrow no sensations, We will soon enough be returned to the fret and triction of city and business life. We want our drift into life at hizh pressure to be as_easy, quiet, and slow as the tlow of the river. So our newspapers have hardly rippled the smoothness and even tenor of our way and way of life. After passing and portaging each of Twin Falls, we went ashore for dinner and put to good use some of the stores we got at Panl Miller’s. Just below this are some ugly rapids which make the bitlows pitch more than usually.

We got over with not! more serious than some splasbes and scooping in a few white caps. The few miles to Bir Quiniseck Falls were miles of uniformly beautiful scenery. In sume stretehes, the nver ran_partly under the shadows of the *recs and partly in the slittering sunshine, andas the channel or course might be, we flittcd from light to shade, but the stream as placd as a painted meadow brook. The stillness of the eutire scene—not a leaf stirring on & Lwig, not air enough astirto {ret a blm of agitation, only the ripple cut by the canoc and the strokes and drippings from the paddies, to mar the mirror-like glassing but rarely a note and the nearly noiscless dropping of the oar—the like solemn silence of the bordering woods—sucn stillness which could hardly be found anywiereashere, and soprofound that we sympathetically lapsed intg a serenity and silence in barmony with the overpow- ering hush and * revose of Nature, and dreamily, passivelv, and speechless kept in this drowse till we meared Big iniseck Falls, and its rumble of many dod far waters broke the charm. The portage here, reached at 4, is a wearisome trudge of two miles. High and 1 shouldered our blasket packs, aud in much weariness of flesh and in the copious sweat of the brow, ot tothe the thither end of the trail: Paul und Tabo made two trips over it, and ‘ere all the portaging was done and the tents raised night came. We are tenting on tne high point of rock near the falls oo the Michigan side. We have a com- manding view of the enchanting scenery. At our fect, the foam from the cataract is washing upon the cdee of the shore, and Ia in streaks like drifts of snow. The currents of the eddies curve gracefully, foating feathery flakes of foam. Just by, the misty spray-rises like a sul- tie drapery of silver smoke over the rushing waters. The perspective, from our point. down the river is beautiful exceedingly. In fact, the whole scenery of tlus fulls, in its wildness and beauty. in water and wood, needs only the genius of some Claude Lorraine, Turner, or Church, to trace and color them in the glowing wlories of art - to make them Kknown, and f{amed, and sought.

The first was plaved at the Chess Association Rooms a few days ago: NORTHERN GAMBIT.
