Life in the woods.
No. IA.

It was a night in February, and
ten O'Clock. Before a glowing fire, we
sat by a table reading letters and papers
that had arrived that day. The mail
came but once in a week its arrival,
therefore, was quite an event. Sudden
ly footsteps approached, and knock on
the door startled us. Fred opened it.
A very tall gentleman, enveloped in a
cloak, entered, introduced himself as
VIM. w. Warren, shook hands warm
ly. and recommended himself to us per-
sonally by very gracefully spoken
compliment: ri have read some articles
ofyours, Minnie. ] am proud ofBenton
County since you have come into it. .
A woman is apt to ignore Aattery, as
such, when addressed to herself OF
course, then, this knight of soft words
became at once hero, in our eyes.
We had heard Of Mr.. Warren nf
his antecedents, and present position
His name was sufficient for an lmmedl-
ate acquaintance. He apologized for
intruding SO late. He had come late at
the public house, and must pursue his
;;:S;.rncy early in the morning. For two
hours he talked with Fred, of the coun-
try and the Indians, in a most interest
inc and charming manner. His words

because as an actress, people were tr-

court gives an account of her pleading
with the manager of the Fra ncais to be
allowed To appear yet a little longer,
and her grief at finding her name in the

week. Am then no more an actress,
said unhappy Mars, " have l not my

SIDLons, hcr only pleasure was dressing
for the scene, and her dearest friends
were the dazzling foot-lights. 1t was,
indeed, hard TO forego them. But one
night some hairless person threw an

French hang upon tombs--on the stage
and it fell as intened directly at the feet
Of the actress. professional ardor had
outlived her beuty. She fed from the

was no place in the vessel where we
could get ont of their reach. The cab
IN was hiied with smoke. but they would
not leave 1t Smoke is the most effectp-
al remedy employed to keep them away.
But at this time they did not seem to re-
gard it. We lay in our berth and roll
ed ourselves closely in the bedding, and
drew down the curtains, but they found
their way to our persons, as though
nothing iatersened. We quit the cabin
and went On deck, wrapped ourselves
closely in blankets and cloaks, but all
to no purpose They penetrated under
all covering with which we tried to pro-
tect ourselves, or thrust their long bills
through it. There was scarcely spot
on our hands or faces or feet, where
there was not the mark of bite. No
one on board that night was able to
sleep. We felt the effects of this nights
encounter for several days in itching,
and burning, and swelling of our limbs
and faces.
At length, however, after six or seven
days employed in coaxing the vessel up
the river, we reached the lower extrem-
ity ofLake Huron. We had hattered
ourselves all along, while sweltering in
the sun by day or smothered by the heat
or devoured hy mosquitoes bv night,
that If once we could reach the lake, we
should find nothing but pleasure during
he rest of the voyage; at least that we
should find the wind blowing from some
quarter, and that motion would be pre-
ferablc to calm, though it should even
be a head wind We entered the lake

The vessel commenced 10 roll and pitch,
SO that no one could stand, unless he
held on to some fixed object, or keep in
his berth, except by bracing against the
sides. We were all drea dfully sea-
sick, and came to the conclusion that
we had not materially improved our
condition by reaching the lake. AT
length, however, the wind abated, the
sea became calm again, and a fair
breeze sprngng up brought Us to Mack
