sweet mouth, and delicaIely rounded

The following description of { cele-
bration at the goodly town of Watab
in 1858 was published in an eastern
Journal. Ii forms the conclusion OF
one Of series of letters that we then
were sending from this new country -
Latterly, to relieve the monotony, we
have had celebration of the Fourth -

his lumber wagon for us-a kindness
which should be regarded. According

statu quo. Lest you infer that all the
citizens of our town are so few as TO be
able to be slowed away in one lumber
wagon, l will inform you that some OF
our inhabitants have lumber wagons OF
their own. and thus we're able to be in

day. ,..-,,.f a,.-..-..aff ..r-.--

In fragrant tassels, where the violet sprnng,

Another article of food much used at
one season of the year, and highly
priced by the Ojibwas, is maple sugar.
The sugar maple is found extensively
through all parts of their country
From this they manufacture large guam
titles of sugar during the early spring.
Their mode Of manufacturing it may not
be unworthy of notice. They first re-
move their families into the forest where
they are TO operate, and build a large
wigwam near the centre Of their sugar
bush. For vessels in which to catch
the sap as it truns from the trees, they
use pieces of white birch bark, twenty
inches or two feet square, which are so
gathered and folded at the ends and
fastened with bark string, that they
form kind of dish which will hold
from two to four quarts. An incision is
then made in the tree foot or two from
the ground, with an axe Below this
incision cut is made by single. blow
of an axe, in an upward direction -
Into this the end of chip is inserted
which serves as a aspoutlto convey the
sap from the treein the bark dish. II

So sweet, so winsome were his ways,
A charm was round his presence flung;
All radiant wers his few glad days

impressively referred TO the peculiarly
of that celebration--while emotions that
ever swell the American heart on that
consecrated day, were heightened by
the situation and circumstances under
which we had assembled, The great
"Father Of Waters,'' rolling onward by
our side, was pouring the music in our
ears, that was suggestive of great hopes
for the future Dark eyes were upon
us--the melancholy dark eyes Of the
noble bat unhappy race who are fast
passing away. Wrapped in their bright
nantes, decked in their beads and
bracelets, and feathers, they stood
around, some with majestic forms, and
still proud bearing, but the majority in
sluggish attitudes aud with listlessness
of look and manner, as if the past had
for them no charm, ald the future no
allurement. a4 a

Few little months have fitted by,

And in my heart I've fel. that love
Was one sweet world of light.
o, not too colored were my dreams,
Their glory was but dim.
Just fitting foam upon the stream
O'er jewels deep within.
The waking from their rosy light e
Was to fairer day,
Like, dawning to a wintry night.
A glorious morn Of May.
