LOST IN THE HILLS.—A gentleman
from the
granite city who arrived
at Wick a week or two
ago with the intention of " doing" the northern counties,
was this week in his over anxiety to get over the ground,
very nearly ;
" doing" himself. It appears that he had
reached the west of Sutherland, and having taken up his
quarters with a friend there spent a day or two seeing what
was to be seen in his locality. Time was precious, however,
and our friend, e eatrary to the early solicitations of his host,
resolved to set out for Bettyhill, his next stage, at a late
hour in the afternoon ; and to shorten the distance, as he
supposed, he, instead of taking the road, tried to reach his
destination by a short cut through the hills. For an hour
or two he got along to his entire satisfaction, but dark-
ness coming on, he began to find that a journey in the
dark over such a road was anything but comfortable
work. To make his bed on the hill-side, however, was
hardly a pleasant prospect either, and he accordingly floun-
derei on as he best could, determined to get to the end of
his journey; but after wandering about for a considerable
time, and finding the difficulties of his path increasing, ho
was at length forced to lay himself down on the heath to
rest his wearied limbs. Our hero now began to feel sadl y
when too late the folly of having neglected the counsels of
his friend, but with the beat philosophy he could muster, he
came to the resolution, rather than run the risk of
tumbling over some craggy precipice, or of sinking into
some bottomless bog, to remain where he was till daylight
should reveal to him the true nature of his position--
the miseries of which it is needless for us to recount.
To the infinite satisfaction, however, of the belated
traveller, the faint streaks of the rising sun ultimately be-
gan to dawn upon the earth, and to shed ite welcome beams
upon the path of our hero. With the light of day his spi-
rits rose, and stretching his stiffened limbs, he got to his
feet to survey the scene of his wretched experiences ; but
judge of his surprise, when he found that after all his
night's wanderings, he was only a few hundred yards from
the place where he started. Thither he hastened as fast as
his feeble lees could carry him, and being there regaled
with the best the house could produce, he speedily got over
the evil effects of his adventure, set out again on his jour-
ney by another route, and succeeded in at last reaching his
destination none the worse of his night in the hills.-40k
