Near the house. when one of them showed
himself, the fowls used to gather about him
with a loud clueking, which guided the men.
But snakes had bad and terrifying habit
of coming up occasionally through the boards
on the ground floor, and, ON one occasion,
met one coiled up in the road.

from one end of the coil, and gave with his

Over the top was cover of leather, few
rough seats arranged crosswise inside, the

the Journey heightened, and the humping and

known as the corduroy roads and bridges,

one knows, consists of an infinite number
OF elevated cords with corresponding depres-

The roads here. in swampy places, and the
bridges, were made of logs, placed trans

not filled up. it is not difficult to imagine the
sensation which would be produced in driving
across in four-wheeled vehicle

its occasional glimpse .of savage scenery,
through the virgin forest at the top Of some
height, interspersed with anecdotes from the
driver, who delighted in pointing out various
spots -hollows in the great rocbs-where rat

tions of various persons who had been bitten
by this terrible viper.
At last, with final twirl and crack of the
whip, our. thin but wiry steeds rattle us
down the last incline, through the wood into
a sort Of clearing, nestled in hollow, where
two or three low wooden houses, saw mill,
a store and hotel, form what is there called
a town.

the rivers emptying into the At
iantlc, and on the other, for those which find
their way through the Father of Waters into
the Gulf of Mexico, there is an upheaval of
the lower elevation, known as the Foothills of
thu Alleghenies.
Here is a country wild beyond measure,
Wnere, but for an occasional clearing or a
rough forest path. there are no traces Of mans
footsteps Here, for miles, extend unbroken
forests Of the towering hemlock. with its
sombre foliage defying the light of brightest
nocnday sunss where never a human habita-

and no sound is heard save the cries of wild
birds, the mysterious re-echoing tapping of
the woodpecker, busy at his work or perhaps
the occasional tinkhng noise of some noun

est, over mighty trees which it has felled in
its progress, and which lie across its bubbling
torrent in a hopeless confusion of tangled
root and stem, or over great boulders hurled
by titanic force, and crowded together in in
extricable and unexplainable confusion in a
vain attempt to bar its path
To know what silence is one must. as IL
were, have heard it; for, to be alone in such
a forest, with the knowledge that no human
abode is near for miles, where only the occa-
sional murmuring of the stream or the fight
or twittering of a bird break the solemn
stiffness, the absence of sound becomes like a
positive thing, and seems to brood over
and crush the senses with a strange, weird
power as to make the silence audible.

a rapid stream, which still bears the poetical-
