' People in the woods have a craze for giv- i; and going to bees, and to run to them rith as much eagerness as a peasant runs to I race-course or a fair plenty of strong irinkand excitement mining the chief at- Taction of the bee. In raising a house or bam, a bee may be i ookeduponas a necessary evil, but these ratherings are generally conducted in a more liderly manner than those for logging. Few 1 t bands are required and they are gener- 1 illy under the control of the carpenter who l nunpthe frame, and if they get drunk luring the raising they are liable to meet rith very serious accidents. Thirty' two men, gentle aud simple, were iorited to our bee, and the maid and I were itjaged for two days preceding the impor- ast one, in baking and cooking for the Entertainment of our gueata. \\ hen I looked the quantity of food we had prepared, I bonghc that it never could be alt eaten, tven by thirty-two men. It waa a bnrning 301 day towards the end of July, when onr loggers began to come in, and the " gee V ud " ha " to encourage the oxen resounded I every side. Theer was my brother S with his frank English face, a host in himself Lieu- anant in his blouse, wide white tioQsers, and red sash, his broad straw, hat shading a dark manly face that would have been a splendid property for a bandit chief :be four gay. reckless idle sons of iairous at any spree, but incapable of the least mental or physical exertion, who con- lidered huntirg and -fishing as the sole aim md object of life. These young men ren- dered very little assistance themselves, and ieir example deterred others who were in- clined to work. There were the two R 's, who came a work and to make others work my good irother-in law, who had volunteerea to be te Grog Boss, and a host of other settlers, unong whom I recognized Moodie' old ac :uaintance, Dan Simpson, with his lank red iir, and long freckled face the Youngs, ie hunters, with their round, black, curly :e»ds and rich Irish brogue poor C nih his long, spjje, consumptive figure, iod thin, sickly face. Poor fellow, he has ]og since been gathered to his rest There was the mfiin squatter P rom Clear Lake, â€" the dread of all honest len the brutal M who treated oxen u if they had been logs, by beating them fith handspikes and there was Old VVittals, litii his low forehead and long nose, a living fitness of the truth of phrenology, if his Jrge organ of acquisitiveness and his want :f conscientiousness could be taken in evi- â- ence. Yet in spite of his derelictions from lonesty, he was a hard-working, good-natur- idman, who, if he cheated you in a bargain, •r took away some useful article in mistake lom your homestead, never wronged his aiployer in his day's work. He was » curious sample of cnnning and limplicityâ€" quite a character in his way â€" ipd the largest eater I ever chanced to know. ?rom this ravenous propensity, for he ate ^food like a famished wolf, he had obtain- sihb singular name of " Wictals." Baring the first year of bia settlement in ie bush, with a very large family to provide °r, he had been often in want of food. One J»y he came to my brother, w ith a very long ice. Mr. S I'm no beggar, but I'd be 'bliged to you for a loaf of tosad. I declare yon on my honour that I have not had a 'it of wittala to.dewour for two whole itys." â-  He came to the right peraon with bia peti- â- on- Mr. S with a liberal hand re- ieved his wants, but be entailed upon him lienameof "Old Wittala," as part pay- ment.

Prevarication, theworatof falaebeoda,was a virtue in hia eyea. So much for the old man'a morality. Monagbanwaainbia^lory, prepared to w wk or fight, wbiobever alionid oome npper- moet and there waa old Tbomaa and hia â- ona, the oontnotora for the clearing, to expedite wboee moTenwnta tbe bee waa called. Old Tbomaa waa a very ambitiona man in bia way. Tbongb be did not know A from B, be took it into bia kead tbak be hMi received a oali from heavea to convert tlie heathen in the wUdemeaa and avery Sunday he held a meeting in our loggera' abanty, for the purp oae of awakening sin- ners, and bringmg over " Indian pagana" to the true faith. Hia method of aoooinp- liabing tbia object waa very ingeniona. He got his wife, Peggyâ€" or " my Paggy" aa be called herâ€" to read aloud to him a text from the Bible, until he knew it by heart and he had, aa he aaid truly, " a good re- membrancer," and' never heard a atriking sermon but he retained the most important paaaages, and retailed them aecond-band to hia buab audience. I must say that I was not a little surprised at the old man's eloquence when ^I went on Sunday over to the shanty to hear him preach. Several wifd yotmg fellows bad come on pur- pose to make fun of him but his discourse, which was upon the text " We ahall all meet before the judgment-seat of Chrut," was rather too serious a serious a subject to turn into a jest, with even old Thomas for the preacher. All went on very well until the old man gave out a hymn, and led off 4n such a loud„discordant voice, that my little Katie, who was standing between her father's luiees, looked suddenly up, and said, "Mam- ma, what a noise old Thomas makes I" This remark led to a much greater noise, and the young men, unable to restrain their long- suppressed laughter, ran tumultuously from the shanty. I could have whipped the little elf but small blame could be attached to a child of two years old, who had never heard a preach- er, especially such a preacher aa the old backwoodsman, in her life. Poor man 1 he waa perfectly unconscious of the cause of disturbance, and rnmarked to ua after tbe. aervice was over, " Well, ma'am, did not we get on famous- ly Now, wor'nt that a bootifvl discourse 1" " It was indeed much better than I ex- pected." "Yes, yes I knew it would please you. It had quite an effect on those wild fellows. A few more such sermons will teach them good behaviour. Ah 1 the bush is a bad place for young men. The farther in the bush, say I, the farther from God, and the nearer h â€" L I told thi^t wicked C«ptain L ,. of Dummer,. so the other baaday ' an" says he, ' if yon don't hold your con- founded jaw, yon old fool, I'll kick you, there.' Now ma'am â€" now sir, was not that badmauners'in a gentleman, to use such ap- propriate epitaphs to a humble servant of God, like I ' And thus the old man ran on for an hour, dilating upon his own merits and the sins of hie neighbors. There was John from Smithtown, the most notorious swearer in the district a man who esteemed himself clever, nor did he want for natural talent, but he had con verted his mouth into such a six k ot iniquity^ that it corrupted the whole man, and all the Treak and thoughtless of his own sex who admitted him into their company. I had tried to convince John (for he often frequented the honse under the pretence of borrowing book^) of the great crime that'he was constantly committing, and of the injur- ious effect it must produce upon his own family, bnt ihs mental disease had taken too deep a root to be so easily cured. Like a person laboring under some foul disease, he contaminated all he touched.' Snch men seem to make an ambitions display of their bad habits io such scenes, and if they afford a little help, they are sure to get intoxicated and make a row. There was my old friend, Ned Dunn, who had been so anxious to get us out of the burning fallow. There was a whole group of Dummer Pines Lavi, the little wiry, witty poacher Cornish Bill, the honest-hearted old peasant, with his stal- wart figure and uncouth dialect and D»vid and Nedâ€" all good men and true and Mai- achiChroak, a queer, withered up, monkey- man, that seemed like some mischievous elf, flitting from heap to heap to make work and fun for tbe rest; and many others were at that bee who have since found a rest in the wilderness Adam T H J. M H. N ' These, at different times, lost their lives in those bright waters in which, on such occasions as these, they used to sport and frolic to refresh tbenuelves during- the noonday heat. Alas I how many, who were then young and in their prime, that river and ita lakea have swept away Onr men worked well until dinner-time, wben, after waahing in the lake, they all sat down to tbe rude board which I had pre- pared for them, loaded with the beat tare that could be procured in the bnah.

To pour ont tbe latter, and dispense it round, devolved npon me. My brother and his friends, who were all temperance men, and cma(qaently tbe beat workera in the^field, kept me and the maid actively employed in repleniabing their cnpa. The dinner paseed off tolerably waU some of the lower order of Irisb aettlara were pretty far gone, bnt they oommitted no ont- race upon oar feelings by either awearing or bad la^oat^ • nr hanalaa jokes akM einmlatiiut t t Wf^t*^""' Smmom WM tnaias Old Wittalla for JiftTfac eataa ww laife oabbagaa a* Mr. T._:^'ibM,afnrdayaprevioH. ffiiMa, SaL ^bm^bUmmU, m bs dni^ bond, to n««Mr lU thatday. aDd 1 toD yea ha °%r.£:L..M.tw.. foik^ b,r^ « «mlo.fcm of -brflitta^ «1" W fcok^ Aan^nmBd Idaa. m ff ha ooaU â- oano^ bdlmtiM ectt*t «hiB lAole parly weis; 'ifffiid^^lilC.vho waegoodBfttdre^ a-nk. had dkoowred anold peJr of oradud b3o«ifaaoo««r.whiohha fiaoad »te Kb irm, aid anpTylDg hft ikltiai to the pipe and working hia elbows to and fro, pretend- ed that be ma playia^ spoa tbe bagpipes, every now and tbmi lattiag the wind eaoape in a abriO iqoaak fram tUa novd biatm- ment, " Arrah, ladiea and jintlemen, do jiat torn your awate little eyea up'm me wbilat I play for yonr iddifioationa the last illegant tone which my owld grandnotlier taught me.

No gal can resist tbe soft sound. of the same; Wid the blarney, my boyaâ€" if yon doubt it, go thry â€" But hand here the bottle, my whistle is dhry." The men went back to the field, leaving Malachi to amuse those who remained in the house and we certainly did langb onr fill at his odd capers and conceits. Then he would insist upon marrying our mold. There could be no refusal â€" have her he would. The girl, to keep him quiet, laughingly promised that ahe would take him for her husband. This did not satisfy him. She must toke her oath upon the Bible to that effect. Mary pretended that there was no Bible in .the house, but he found an old sp Uing-boiok upon a shelf in the kitchen, and upon it he made her swear, and CjkUed upon me to bear witness to her oath, that she^was now his betrothed, and he would go next day with her lo tbe " praist." Poor Mary had reason to repent her frolic, for he stack dose to her tbe whole evening, tormenting her to fulfil her con- tract. After the sun went down, the logging- band came in to snpper, which was all ready for them. Those who remained sober ate tbe meal in peace, and quietly retnmed to their own homes while the vicious and the drunken stayed to brawl and fight. After having placed the snpper on the table, I was so tired with the noise, and heat, and fatigue of the day, that I went to bed, leaving to Mary and my husband the care of the guests. The little bed-chamber was only separated from the kitchen by a few thin boards and unfortunately for me and the girl, who wss soon forced to retreat thither, we could hear all the wickedness and profanity going on in. tbe next room. My liusband, disgusted with the scene, coon left it, and retired into the parlor, with the few of the lowers who, at that hour, remained sober. The honse rang with the sound of unhallowed revelry, profane songs, and blasphemous swearing it would Have been no hard task to have imagined these miserable, degraded beings, fiends instad of men. How glad I was whien they at last broke up and we were once more left in peace to collect tbe broken glasses and cups, aud tbe fsattered frag ments of that hateful feast 1 We were obliged ti endure a recond and a third repetition of this odious aoene, be- tore rixteen acrea of land were rendered fit for the reception of our fall crop of wheat. My hatred to theae tnmnltaona, diaorder- derly meetinga waa not in tbe least deoreas- ed by my husband being twioe aerioualy hurt wule attending them. Alter tne aeoond injury he received, be aeldom went to them himself, bnt seat bis oxen and ser- vant in his place. In these odious gather- ing, the sober, moral, and indostrions man is more likely to suffer than tbe dmnken and profane, as, dnriog tbe delirium at drink, these men expoee otiien to daagw aa well as themselves. The oondnot of many of tbe settlers, who oonaidfoced themselves gentlemen, and would have been veiy much affronted to have been called otherwise, waa often man rmreben- aible than that ofiAft poor Iriab om^granta, to whom tiiOT should Jbave set an example of order and sobrie^.

My U^AMie was.siA almoat to death with the samner oomplaiat, and die still to yonng to take ore of herself. This w«a bnt tbe '«giftni"g of trouble. Agneand lake fever bad attacked our new settlement. Tbe men in tbe shanty were all down with it and my husband was confin- ed to bis bed on eaob alternate day, nnabla to raiss hand ot foot, and raving in the de- lirium of fever. In my sister and brother's families, scar- ody a aealthy person rsmained, to attend npon the sick and at Herriof s Fdls, nine personn were stceidiod upon tbe floor of one log oofain, nnahle to hdp thems^ves or one another. After mnob difficulty, and only by offering enormous wages, I "suooeeded in procuring a nnrae to attend npon me during my oosKfinonienL The woman bad not been a dav in the house before die was attacked by thesamefever. In the midst of this oon- fusion, and with my precious little Addie lying insenuble on a pillow at tbe foot of my bedâ€" expf cted eyery moment to breathe her last â€" on the night of tbe 26th of August, the boy I had so araently coveted wai torn. ' Tbe next day, old Pine carried his wife (my nurse) away upon bis back, and X was left to struggle throngh, in thebestmanner I could, with a sick husband, a dok child, and a new-bom b»be. It was a melancholy season, one of severe mental and bodily suffering. Those who have drawn such agreeable pictures of a residence in the backwoods, never dwell upon pAriods of nokneaa, when, far from niedi(Md advicef and oftni, aa in my caae, deprived of the aasistance of friends by ad- verse aircnmstauoes, you are left to languish, unattended, upon the conch of pain. Tbe day that my husband was free of the fit, he did what he could for me and his poor sick babes, but, ill aa be waa, be was obliged to sow the wheat to enable the man to proceed with the drag, and was, there- fore, necessirily absent in the field the greater part of the day. I was very Ul, yet, for houra at a time, I bad no friendly voice tooheer me, to proffer me a drink o cold water, or to attend to tlM poor labe and worse, still worse. The indtaf oalled ess^ a nnmher of prond- oant ph^ddans and asked them if, among Aeir patiante, th^ had saany who imagined they bad diseases which they did Qot^have. Some vary Intereadag iafonnatian.^^ ob- tained. The dootora aaid it was fooad to be a very oommon troaUe, and tiiat the chief diaeaaea dieae people imagine the? have are cancer, heart diaeaae and Brigbt'a diaeaae. In tbe language of tbe prof eaaioa, the com- plaint ia known as hyp chondriada. I) waa found that the disease ia often epidemic. At the time of Gen. Grant's atcknaas and death from oan3er of tba turoat, and daring tbe Ulaeaa of the lato Kaiser Friedrioh, hoadreds of peepla widi nothing serious at all the matter with them oalled open Dr. Shrady, who attended Oen Grant, and told liim they had cancer of the throat eoming on and wished to he treated for it. One celebrated physician, who made a spedd stady of tbe aiaeaae, aaid .thit it was worthy of note that in all thcae oaaaa the patient reaaona oorreotly â€" that ia, he draws jnst references from the error. Thus the Prince of Bsnrbon, when he supposed himsdf to be a plant, reasoned justly when he indsted upon being watered with the rest of the plants every day. In like^ man- ner, the hypochondriac who supposes him- self to be dead reasons with tbe sune Qor- rectoess wben he stretches his body and limbs on the bed or a board and assumes the stillness and sileaoe of a dead man. The following is from the records of ons of die New York hospital s house surgeons " It was on July 6 that a man of timall tatore, who was tound afterwards to be a shoemaker by trade, who was appar ntly about 40 years of age, escaped from his home and was running at large in the streete of the city, lacerating bis flesh and beating his head arainst the aides of houses. A number of citisens managed to captare him and they brought himtothebospitel, follow, ed by a big crowd. With bis arms tied be- hind him, and in tbe greatest agony, bis face bruised aud swollen, bis lips torn to pieces and streaming with blood, he was ushered into tbe hospital by those who bad him in charge. I met them at the door and inquired into tbe case. The man was eager 10 tell his own story, but with difficulty col- lected words to convey it. His languikge was copious, but^is agitotion so great that *^5f? 'H T "" *° i^" f**J^^"^^u ' he could ha^ly utter a sentence, being in child, who lay so cold and stillj with hdf- ^^j,^ by cbnstant efforte to tear his lips closed violet eyes, as if death bad already ^^ pj^^,^ ^,,0^ ^^ him knew nothi^ chilled her young heart in bis iron grasp There was not a breath of dr In onr doee, burning bed-doeet and the weather was sultrv beyond all that I have since experi- enced. How I wished that I could be transported to an hospital at home, to enjoy the oommon care that in such plsices u be- stowed upon the sick I Bitter tears flawed continuaUy over those yonns' children. 1 had asked of Heaven a son, and there he lay helpless by the side of his almost equally helpless mother, who could not lift him up in taer arms, or still his cries while the pale, fair angel, with her golden curls, who had lately been tbe admiration of all who saw her, no longered reoogn'zed my voice, or was conscious of my presence. 1 fdt that I could resign the long and eagerly hoped for son, to win one more smile from that sweet suffering creature. Often did I weep nayself to deep, and wake to weep again with renewed anguish. And my poor little Katie, herself under three years of age, how patiently she bore the loss of my care, and every comfort I How earnestly the dear thing strove to help me! She would dt on my dck-bed, and hold my hand, and ask me to look at her and speak to her would inquire why Addie dept so long, and when she would wake agun. Those innocent questions went like arrows to my heart. Lieutenant â€" the husband of my dear Emilia, at length beard of iny situation. His inestimable wife was from home, nursing her dck mother bnt be sent his mud ser- vant up every day for a couple of hours, and the kind girl despatohed a messenger nine miles tlirough the woods to Dummer, to feteh her younger sister, a child of twelve years old. Oh, how grateful I felt for these rignd mercies I for my situation for nearly a week was one of the most pitiable that could be imagined. The sickness waa ao prevalent that help could not be obtdned for money and without tbe aasistance of that listle girl, young aa ahe waa, it is more than probable that ndther myself nor my children would (ver have risen from that bed of dckness. The oondnot of our man Jacob, during this trying period, was marked with the greatest kindness and condderation. On the days that his master was confined to his bed with the fever, he used to place a vessel of cold water and a cup by his bedside, and then put bis honest English face in at my door to know if be could make a cup of tea, or toast a bit of bread for the mistress, be- fore he went into tbe field. Katie was indebted to him for all her meals. He baked, and cooked, and churned, milked tbe oows, and made up the butter, as well and as carefully as tbe bett^emde servant oonld have done. As to poor John Monaghan, he was down with tiie fever in the shanty, where four other men were all ill with the same terrible complaint. I was obliged to leave my bed and en- deaVoar to attend to tbe wanto of my ymuig famfly long bd ore I was really able. When I madei my first attemps to reaoh the parlor 1 was so weak, that, at every step,I felt aa if I shoald pitoh forward to the ground, whioh seemed to nndulato beneath my feet, like die floor of a cabin fa a storm at sea. My bosbaad contfaued to suffisr for many weeks with die ague and wben he was con- valesoeht, all tbe obildren, even the ptor babe, were seized with it nor did It leave as till lato fa |he sprfaig of 1885.

At lenstb he conveyed the information where his dis- tress was, and npon which his mind was deluded. In his upper lip he said there was a worm gnawfag bis flesh and penetrating fato liis body, and unless he could tear it out the worm would soon be beyond his reaoh and faevitobly destroy him. This was tbe cause of bis misery. He was assured of the possibility of relief, and with a ^miling couutonance I patted him on tbe dionlder and bade him no longer be un- easy, for I would cut out the worm. His eyes sparkled, and fa an instant he re- plied, ' Will you 7 Do it then. Do it, quick, for God's sake. ' He was urged nob to despair, for I was now ready to remove the insect p eying up- on hu flesh. Accordingly, we wens to the cells of the numiacs. When being seatod he flxed liimself for the operation. I paraded MX lanceto on the toble before l)im. By makfag a display of this and other prepar- ations and sending for assistance he became composed, waitfag with patience the result. In the meantime I had sent in search of the worm. The person sent, being nnsnoceaaful, atoyed too long and I hurried ont of the door and ptcked from the ground one of the large worms or oatorpillars which fafeated the poplar trees at that time and had fdlen from the trees oy the door. One e: d of the insect had been trodden npon, and it warn nearly dead. This I got, and on rctumfag found my patient's imeaafaeaa faoreased. But npon seeing me take tbe instruments he fixed himself m the chair and requested my aa»istonta, the apothecary and the orderly man, to hold his hands lest he should start while under pain of tbe cutting instru- ment. " With a lancet the opsraiiou waa begnn. I pricked his lip with it, which made him flinch a little. Me accordirgly leaned back hia head firmly against tbe person who stood behind him, and dint his eyes tightly, and thus fixed be bore the repeated pricks of the ustmment with steadiness and forti- tude. After pinching his lip with one hand and wounding it with the other, I cut cff a portion of the npper lip which he had torn with his nails and which was pendulous. I now assured him that the operation was nearly completed, for the head of the worm oonld be seen. The bystanders cried out " There it is I there it is 1 He raised eyes to see, but was cautioned to be still for one mfaute longer, at which be agdn shut Lis eyes. I then gave him a severe pmch, drew the edge of the laniet across the lacerated lip, and exclaiming, ' Fve got him,' opened my band and exposed tbe great .worm. ' Tbe man rose from bis seat and gazed at tbe worm with astonishment beyond utterance. At length be spoke snd request- ed me to p r e s erve it, for, lie ofaerved with tranquilli^, his friends bad said be was orszy, bat tide would be an evidence to the contrary. 'Tiie result of this deceptive operation was a perfect cure, and tUs remarkable change waS effected fa less than fifteen mfa- ntes after the patient entered tbe bospitd."
