Your infosnstion is very correct with re-

Prepare for q Hard Winter.

A very careful observer Of the times re-
marks that we shall have an early, long,
and a hard winter. The principal indica-
ton is the early rain this fall, by which the
earth has become fully saturated with water,
and the streams, swamps and fountains well
filled.
Whether there is anything in these sigus
or not, it is hest TO prepare for the worst,
and there can he no disadvantage in being
ready Tor hard winter. 1ftoo much fuel

temperature can be moderated, IT there be
TOO much warmth. Should the farmer pro-
vide fodder ior his stock beyond what they
consume, ii win be but trifing disadvatt-
lagc, compared with hungry starving stock
and an empty barn, or paying extravagant
prices for hay TO finish wintering TOO large

Then they went to the head-lakes, from which
the Chaudlere rises. Here they paused and
built bark canoe. The cedar for bows and
lining, the birch for the bark, and the spruce
roots for thread, were all to be found here in
abundance. They went through the mighty
forest, and lakes which give rise to the great
Penobscot, killing moose and catching trout for
food
The Indian was surprised to find that the
young man would stop every seventh day and
read all day from little book, and no persua-
sion could move him. He wondered too, what
made him read that little scroll of paper so of
ten, which he had brought in the sheath of his
knife. They then struck the Penobscot, carry
ing their canoe from lake to lake, and from
lake to river, till they came down that river to
great island, opposite which there came in a
little brook. Up this they turned, and, after
one more carrying place, they struck the upper
end OF Moosehead Lake. How beautiful how
beautiful! In three days more, early in the
morning, the widow Redfeld looked out of her
door, and saw Capeeno approaching, with a
stranger behind him. She shaded her ewes
from the morning sun moment, and then, with
a scream of agonizcd joy, fell to the ground

be glad. She laughed to appear Indifferent,
and wept because her emotions must have some
vent. She appeared to know very little about
his deliverence; but Capeeno went away in a
new suit of clothes, new rifle, and know
not what besides.
Pshaw. Susan. you need not blush. You
redeemed a noble fellow from captivity, and
you found that he not only made a great and
