Swiftly over the deep snow the hunter
glides in his snow-shoes. All day long
he pursues the deer and the moose, and
when night is come he has Travelled 80
or forty miles, and yet he is not tired,
for his snow-shoes are equal to a sleigh
drawn by spirited horses.
The Indians in the cold North alone
make snow-shoes, and the white settler
and the white trapper 20 to the red
man for them. Snow-shoes are three
or four feet long and a foot wide at the
middle, rounded in front and pointed
behind, turning up at either end. The
frame is light, made of maple, and the
center is a network of deer's hide or
Dos skin. The traveller encases his
feet in moccasins Of buckskin lined
with three or four thicknesses of blank
cts to keep them warm. and to prevent
the thongs with which his feet must be
fastened to the cross-piece from hurting
them. Tins equipped, he does not
fear the snow-drifts, for his snow-shoes
bear him up above the white feather
darts that fall III myriads from the
skies, and sometimes bury those unpre-
pared to meet them beneath their

Letters of Recommendation,

A gentleman advertised for a boy to
assist him in his office, and nearly fifty
applicants presented themselves to him.
Out of the whole number he selected
one and dismissed the rest.
al should like to know" said friend,
con what ground you selected that
boy, who had not a single recommen-
dation."
"You are mistaken" said the gentle
man she had a great many. He
wiped his feet when he came in, and
closed the door after him, showing that
he was careful he gave up his seat
instantly to that old man, showing he
was kind and thoughtful ; he took off
his cap when he came in, and answered
my questions promptly and respectfully,
showing that he was polite he picked
up the book which 1 had purposely laid
upon the floor, and placed it on the ia
BILE, while all the rest stepped over it or
showed it aside ; and he waited quietly
for his turn, instead of pushing and
crowding, showing that be was orderly.
When I talked with him, I noticed that
his clothes were carefully brushed, his
hair in nice order, and his teeth
brushed; and when he wrote his name,
l noticed that his finger nails We're
clean, instead of being tipped with jet,
like that handsome little fellows in the
blue jacket. Don't you call those
things letters of recommendation? I
do, and 1 would give more for what / can
tell about a boy by using my eyes ten
minutes, than all the fine letters he can
bring me?"

end of the year put it out at interest,
and SO continue each year, they would
be astonished by the rapid increase OF
their money. And in their old age, if
nothing had been gained in any other

upon without work the rest of their
days, besides being rid of a disagreea-

A. CONCERT.
Il WITH A GALE.

A correspondent of a neighboring
journal tells of a county clerk in a rural
town who had a pet calf which he was
training up in the ways of the OK. The
calf walked around very peaceably I'M
der one end of the yoke while Mr.. Clerk
held up the other end, but in an unfor-
tunate moment the man conceived the
idea of putting his own neck in the
yoke, to let the calf see how it would
work with a partner. This frightened
the calf, and ~elevating his tail, he struck
a dead run for the village, and Mr..
Clerk went along with his head down,
and his plug hat in his hand, strain
ing every nerve to keep up, and crying
