Re What You Appear To BE.

There is a great deal said about arriving
at honor and distinction. DO not think of
arriving at honor, but take honor to start
with; and as for distinction, man. in the
long run. is never distinguished for any
thing but what he really is. So make up
your mind just what you want to pass for.
and be it, for you will pass for what yOn
are, not what you try to appear
Go into the woods and see how easily
you can tell one tree from another. You
see pine needles on one, and you know that
it is pine all the way through. A pine tree
may want to look like an oak. and try to
look like an oak, and think it does look like
an oak; but as it cannot see itself nobody is
cheated. SO a rascally fellow may want to
appear fair and honest, and think he does
appear fair and honest, as he cannot see
himself But in the long run nobody is
cheated; for you can read mans character
about as easily as you read the leaves on
the trees. 'Tis curious to see how the COM
munity labels every man, the same as pre-
serve jars are labelled ''currant, "''Quince."
etc. Only he does not know what his label
is. Just as likely man thinks his label is

joined us at EricksOn's landing, and as we
were unlucky enough to miss an empty

he felt equal to the emergency. and made
it all right; but was pretty well tired out.
He remained at Wah- Wan. as 1 expected
to be back before long.
A day or two after l got to Michipicoton
l fell in with man who wanted me to join
him in establishing stopping place between
Ercksons landing and headquarters. 1t

and one was wanted badly. We got every
thing in readiness to start next day with

put up table outside. and otherwise fixed
things shipshape, and by night every thing
was ready for callers. They came too. 1t
was known of our intention. all along the
route, and the tug in the afternoon always
brought more or less on their road to the

morning. so by striking right out they could
make our camp by night. and be so far on
the road in the morning. SO twas an ac

and in all kinds of positions, it made a

hopes on the future. We intended to COM
mence building log shanty forthwith. as
winter would soon be on us, we had cut and
shaped some logs. and cleared the place to
build on, when rumOr told us we were to

for two. and as it took trade from both ends
of the portage. it was not in human nature
to stand idly by and give no sign of being
