 t- V r^l*' If ROUGHING IT IN THE BUSH." i; CHAPTER IIL OUB JOUBNBT UP THI CX)CNTBT. Fly this plague-stricken spot The hot, foul air j _i Is rank with pestilenceâ€" the crowded marts. And public ways, once popnlous with hfe. Are stiU and noisome as a churchyard vault ^, 1 •â-  u Aghast and shuddering. Nature holds her breath In abject fear, and feels at her strong heart The deadly pangs of death. Of Montreal I can say but little. The cholera was at its height, and the fear of in- fection, which increased the nearer we approached: its shores, cast a gloom oyer the scene, and prevented us from exploring its infected streets. That the feelings of all on board very nearly resembled our own might be read in the anxious faces of both passen- gers and crew. Our captain, who had never before hinted that he entertained any apprehensions on the subject, now confided to us his conviction that he should never qnit the city alive " This accursed cholera Left it in Russian-found it on my return to jjeiih meets me a^in in Canada. No es- cape the third Ume." If the captain's predic- tion proved true in his case, it was so in ours. We left the cholera in England, we met it again in Scotland, and, under the iwovidence cf God, we escaped its fatal visi- tation in Canada. Yet the fear and the dread of it on that first day caused me to throw many an anx- ious glance on my husband and child. I had been very ill during the three weeks that our vessel was becalmed upon the iJauks of Newfoundland, and to this circumstance I attribute my deliverance from the pesti- lence. I was weak and nervous when the vessel Arrived at Quebec, but the voyage up the St. Lawrence, the fresh air and beautiful scenery were rapidly restoring me to health. Montreal from the river wears a pleaiaing aspect, but it lacks the grandeur, the stern sublimity of Quebec. The fine mountain ^at forms the back-ground to the city, the Island of St. Helens in front, and the junc- tion of the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa â€" which run side by side, their respective boundaries only marked by a long ripple of white foam, and the darker blue tints of the former river, â€" constitute the most remark- abU feature in the landscape. The town was, at that period, dirty and ill-paved and the openicg of all the sewers, in order to purify the place and stop the ravages of the pestilence, rendered the pub- lic thoroughfares almost impassible, and loaded the air with intolerable tffluvia, more likely to produce than to stay the course of the plague, the violence of which had, in all probability, teen increased by these long- neplected receptacles of UDcleanliness. The dismal stories told us by the exciee- cfficer who came to inspect the unloading of tie vessel, of the frightful ravages of the cholera, by no means increased our desire to go on shore. " It will be ft miracle if you escape," he said. " Hundreds of emigrants die daily and if Stephen Ayres had not providentially come among us, not a soul would have been alive at this moment in Montreal." " And who is Stephen Ayres t " said I. " God only knows," was the grave reply. ' There was a man sent from heaven, and bis name was John." "But I thought this man was called Stephen " " Ay, so he calls himself but 'tis certain that he is not of the earth. Flesh and blood could never do what he has done, â€" the hand of God is in it. Besides, no one knows who he is, or whence he comes. When the cholera was at the worst, and the hearts of men stood still with fear, and our doctors could do nothing to stop its progress, this man, or angel, or saint, suddenly made his appearance in our streets. He came in great humility, seated in an ox-cart, and drawn by two lean oxen and a rope harness. Only think of th^t Such a man in on old ox- cart, drawn by rope harness 1 The thing itself was a miracle. He made no parade about what be could do, but only fixed up a plain pasteboard notice, informing the pub- lic that he possessed an infallible lemedyfor the cholera, and would engage to cure a!l who sent for him." " And was he successful " " Successful It beats all belief and his remedy so.simple For some days we took him for a quack, and would have no faith in him at all, although he performed some wonderful cures upon poor folks, who could not afford to send for the doctor. The Indian village was attacked by the disease, and he went out to them, and restored up- wards of a hundred of the Indians to perfect health. They took the old lean oxen out of the cart and drew him to Montreal in tri- umph. This 'stablished him at once, and in a few days' time he made a fortune. The very doctors sent for him to cure them and it is to be hoped that in a few days he will banish the disease from the city." " Da you Know his famous remedy " ' D3 I not ?â€" Did he not cure me when I was at the last gasp Why, he made no secret of it. It is all drawn from the maple tree. First he rubs the patient all over with an ointment, made of hog's lard and maple- sugar and ashes from the maple tree and he gives him a hot draught of maple- syrup and ley, which throws him into a violent perspiration. In about an hour the cramps subside he falls into quiet sleep, and when he awakes he is perfectly restor- ed to health." Such was our first tidings of Stephen Ayres, the cholera doctor, who ia universally believed tshave affected some wonderful cares. He obtained a wide cele- brity throughout tbe colony. The day of our arrrival in the port of Mont- real was spent in packing and preparing sor o jr lone journey up the country. At sunset I went upon deck to enjoy the re- freshing breez3 that swept from the river. The evening was delightful the white tents of the soldiers on the Island of St. Helena glittered in the beams of the sun, and the bugle call, wafted over the waters, sounded so cheery and inspiring, tJiat it banished all fears of the cholera, and the heavy gloom that clouded my mind since we hfc Quebec. I could once more hold sweet converse with nature, and enjoy the â- oft loveliness of the rich and harmonioos â- oene. A load cry from one of the erew startled me I tuned towuda the river, and beheld • ama etpragg^g ia tbe water a dmct di» tanee from the veaaeL He waa a yonng Bailor who had fallen from the bowsprit of a boat near us. There ia something terribly exciting m beholding a fellow-creature in imminent peril, without having the power to help him. To witness hia death-atruggies,â€" to feel in your own person all the dreadful al temationa of hope and fear,â€" and, finally, to see him die, with scarcely an effort made for his preservation. This was our case. At the moment he fell into the water, a boat with three men was within a few yards of the spot, and actually sailed over the spot where he sank. Cries of ' Shame " from the crowd collected upon the bank of the river had no effect in rousing these peo- ple to attempt the rescue of a perishing fellow creature. The boat passed on. The drowning man again rose to the surface, the convulsive motion of his hands and feet, visible above the water, but it was evident that the struggle would be his last. ' Is it possible that they will let a human being perish, and so near the shore, when an oar held out would save his life?" was the agonizing question at my heart, as I gszsd, half-maddened by excitement, on the fearful spectacle. The eyes of a multi- tude were fixed upon the same object â€" but not a hand stirred. Every cue seemed to expect from his fellow an effort which he was incapable of attempting himself. At this moment â€" splash a sailor plunged into the water from the deck of a neigh- bouring vessel, and dived after the drown- ing man. A deep " Thank God " burst from my heart. I drew a freer breath as the brave fellow's head appeared above the water. He called to the men in the boat to throw him an oar, or the drowning man would be the death of them both. Slowly they put back the boat, â€" the oar was hand- ed but it came too late The sailor, whose name was Cook, had been obliged to shake off the hold of the dying man to save his own life. He dived again to the bottom, and succeeded in bringing to shore the body of the unfortunate being he had vainly en- deavored to succor. Shortly after, he came on board our vesel, foaming with passion at the barbarpus iadiffcrence manifested by the men in the boat. "Had they given me the oar in time, I could have sav^ him. Ikrev him well â€" he was an excellent fellow, and a good sea- man. He has left a wife and three children in LiverpooL Poor Jane â€" how can I tell her that I could not save her husband " He wept bitterly, and it was impossible for any of us to witness his emotion without joining in his grief. From the mate I learned that this came young man had saved the lives of three wo men and a child when the boat was swamp- ed at Grosse isle, in attempting to land the passengers from the Horsthy Hill. Such acts cf heroism are common in the lower Wblka cf life. Thnsj the purest gems are often encased in tbe rudest crust and the finest feelings of the human heait are fostered in the chilling atmosphere of pov- erty, While this sad event occupied all our thoughts, and gave rise to many painful re- flections, an exclamation of unqualified de- light at once changed the cut rent of cur thoughts, and filled us with surprise and pleasure. Maggie Grant had fainted in the arms of her husband. Yes, there was Tam, â€" her. dear, reckless Tam, after all her tears and lamentations, pressing his young ivife to his heart, and calling her a thousand endearing pet names. He had met with some countrymen at Quebec, had taken too muchwtiiskey on the joyful occasion, and lost his passage in the Anne, but had followed a few hours later in another steamboat; and he assured the now happy Maggie, as he kissed the infant Tam, whom she held up to his admiring g8Z9, that he would never be guilty of the like again. Perhaps he kept his word but I much fear that the first temptation would make the lively laddie forget his promise. Our luggage having been removed to the Custom-house, including our bedding, the captain collected all the ship's flags for our accommodation, of which we formed a toler- ably comfortable bed and if our dreams were of England, could it be otherwise, with her glorious flag wrapped around us, and our heads resting upon the Union Jack? In the morning we were obliged to visit the city to make the necessary arrangements for our upward journey. The day was intensely hot. A bank of thunder clouds lowered heavily above the mountain, and the close, diistv streets were silent and nearly deserted. Here and there might be seen a group of anxious looking, Ciure-worn, eickly emigrants, seated against a wall among their packages, and sadly ruminating upon their future prospects. The sullen toll of the death-bell, the ex- posure of ready made cctfia'sin the Under- takers' windows, and the oft-recurring no- tice placarded on the walls, of funerals fur- nished at such and such a place, bt cheapest rate and shortest notice, painfully reminded us, at every turning of the street, that death was everywhere â€" perhaps lurking in our very path we felt no desire to examine the beauties of the place. With this ominous feeliag pervading our minds, public build- ings pussessed few attractions, aud we de termtned to make lur stay as short as pt^s- sible. Compared with the infected city, our ship appeared an ark of safety, and we returned tc it with joy and confidence, too soon to be destroyei. W e had scarcely re-entered uur cabin, when tidings were brought to us that the cholera had male its appearacce a brother of the captain had been attacked. It waa advisable that we should leave the vessel immediately, before the ioteiligence could reach the health officers. A few min- utes sufficed to make the necessary prepiura- tions and in less than half an- hour we found ourselves occupying comfortable apartments in Gcelenough's hotel, and our passage taken in t^e stage for the following morning. The transition was like a dream. The change from the close, rank ship to large, airy, well-fnmiahed looms and clean attend- ants, waa a luxury we sbould have enjoyed had not the dread of the cholera involved all things aronnd us in gloom and apprehen- sion. No one spoke upon the subject and yet it was evidoit that it waa uppermost in the thonghta of all. Several emigranta had died of tbe terrible diaorder daring the week, beneath the very roof that sheltered na, and ita raTsgea, we were told, had ex- tended op the country as far as Kingaton to that it waa alfll to be die phantom of onr to eacape £rom ita heiadqvaitera. At aix o'dook the f oUowing aaoniog, we took owri^aoee intbeooacbfOTLaehine, and onr feaia of the plague greatly diminiahed aa we left tiie apiree of Montreal in the diatanoe. The jonmeyfrom Montreal west- ward haa been ao well described by many ^ted pena, that I ahall say little about it. The banka of the St. Lawrence are pictar- esque and beaatifnl, particularly in those spcts where there ia a good view of the American side. The neat farmhouaes look.- ed to me, whose eyes had been so long ac- cuatomed to tiie watery waste, homes of beauty and happineaa and the splendid orcharda, the trees at that season of the year being loaded with ripening fruit of all hues, were refreshing and delicious. My partiality for the apples waa regarded by i fellow-traveller with a species of hor- ror. " Touch them not, if you value your life." Every draught of fresh air and water inspired me with renetred health 'and spirits, and I disregarded the «e'l-meant advice Uie gentleman who ^ave it had jus^ recovered .from the terrible disease. He was a middle-aged man, a farmer from the Upper Province, Canadian born. Be had visited Montreal on basinesa for the first time. " Well, sir," he said in answer to some questions put to him by my husband, respecting the disease, "I can tell you what it is a man smitten with the cholera stares death right in the face and the torment he is sufferi ig is so great that he would gladly die to get rid of it." " You were fortunate, C to escape," said a backwood settler, who occupied the opposite seat " many a younger man died of it." " Ay but I believe I never should have taken it had it not been for some things they gave me for supper at the hotel oysters they called them, oysters they were alive I was persuaded by a friend to eat them, and I liked them well enongh at the time. But I declare; to you that I felt them crawl- ing over one another in my stomach all night. The next morning I was seizad with cholera." " Did you swallow them whole, C ' said the former spokesman, who seemed highly tickled by the evil doings of the oys- ters. " To he sure. 1 tell you, the creatures are alive. You pat them on your tongue, and 1 11 be bound you'll be glad to let them slip down as. fast as you can." " No wonder you htA the cholera," aaid the backwoods man, " you deserved it for your barbarity. If I had a good plate ol oysters here, I'd teach you tbe way to eat them." Onr journey during the first day was per- formed partly by coach, partly by steam. It was nine o'clock in the evening when we landed at Cornwall, and took coach to Pres- cott. The country through which we passed appeared beautiful in the clear light of the moon but the air was cold, and slightly sharpened by frost. This seemed strange to me in the early part of S .^'ptember, but it is very ccmmon in Canada. Nine passen- gers were closely packed into our narrow vehicle, tut the sides being of canvas, and the open space allowed for windows ungl6Z3d, I shivered with cold, which amounted to a state of suffering, when the day broke, and ve approached the little village of Matilda. It was unanimou sly voted by all hands that we should stop and breakfast at a small inn by che road-side, and warm ourselves be- fore proceeding to Prescott. The people in the tavern were not stirricg, and it was some time before an old white- headed man unclosed the door, and showed us into a room, redolent with fumes of tobac- co, and darkened by paper blinds. I asked him if he would allow me to take iny infant into a room with a fire. " I guess it was a pretty cold night for the like of her," said he. " Come, I'll show you to the kitchen there's always a fire there." I cheerfully followed accompanied by our servant. Our entrance was une::pected, and by no means agreeable to the persons we found there. A half clothed, red haired Iruli ser- vant was upon her knees kindling up the fire and a long thin woman, with a sharp face, and an eye like a black snake, was just emerging from a bed in the corner. We soon discovered this apparition to be the mistress of the house. " The people can't come in here " she screamed in a shrill voice, darting daggers at the poor old mam. "Sure there's a baby, and the two women critters are perished with cold," pleaded the good old man. " What's that to me They have no busi- ness in my kitchen." " Now, Almira, do hold on. It's the coach has stopped to breakfast with us and you know we don't often get the chance." All this time the fair Almira was dressing as fast as she could, and eyeing her unwel- come female gueats, aa we stood shivering over the fire. " Breakfast 1" she muttered, " what can we give them to eat They pass our door a thousand times without any one alight- ing and now, when we are out of every- thing, they must stop and order breakfast, at such an unreasonable hour. How many are there of you " turning fiercely to me. " Nine," I answered, lauonically, continu- ing to chafe the cold hands and feet of the child. " Nine That bit of be?f will be nothing cut into steaks for nine. What's to be done, Joe " (to the old man.) ' Eggs and ham, sammat of that dried venison, and. pumpkin pie," responded the aide de-camp, thoughtfully. " I don't know of any other fixings." " Bestir yourself, then, and lay out the table, for the coach can't stay long," cried the virago, seizing a trying-pan from the wall, and preparing it for the reception of the eggs and nam. "Imuat have the fire to myself. People can't came crowding here, when I have to fix breakfast for nine particularly when there is a good room elsewnere provided for their accommoda- tion." I took the hint, and retreated to the parlor, where I found the rest of the paasengera walking two and fro, and im- patiently awaiting the advent of Uie break- fast. To do Almira justice, she prepared from her scanty materiala a very sabatantial breakfast in an incredibly ahort tame, for which ahe charged us a quarter of a dollar per head. At Prescstt we embarked on a fine new ateamboat, William IV., crowded with Irfah emigranta, proceeding to Cobonrg and Toronto. ^YhUe pacing the depk, my hnabuid greatly atnu£ by tiia appeanaoe of middM-agad man aad hia wife, who aafe apart frrai ttw teat, and aee m e d tbeoggUmi whh iBteBM grbf, wiiidi, in ipito aTdl i^yfesi." '0xrM their efforts at oonoealnwnt, was strongly impressed nptm their features. Some tiine after, I fell into oonyera%tion with the wo- man, from whom 1 learned their little his- tory. The hnaband waa factor to a Scoth genUemen, of large landed property, who had employed him to visit Canada, and re- port the capabilities of the country, prior to hia investirg a large sum of knoney in wild lands. The expenses of their voyage had besn paid, and everything up to that morning had prospered with them. They bed been blessed with a speedy passage, and were greatly pleased with the country and the people bu^ of what avail was all this Their only son, a fine lad of fourteen, had died that day of the cholera, an all their hopes for the future were buried in his grave. For his sake they had sought a home in this far land and here, at the very outset of their new career, the fell disease had taken him from them for everâ€" here where, in such a crowd, the poor heart- broken mother could not even indulge her natural grief 1 " Ah, for a place where I might greet " she said "it would relieve the burning weight at my heart. But with sae many strange eyes glowering upon me, I tak' shame to my set' to greet." "Ah, Jeannie, my puir woman," aaid the husband, graoping hec hand, " ye maun bear up 'tis God's will an sinful creatures like us manna repine. But oh, madam," taming to me, "we have sair hearts the dayl" Poor bereaved creatures, how deeply I commiserated their grief ,^how I respected the poor father, in the stern efforts he made to conceal -from indifferent spectators the anguish that weighed upon his mind Tears are the best balm that can be applied to the anguish of the heart. Religion teaches man to bear his sorrows with becoming fortitude, but tears contribute largely both to soften and to heal the wounds from whence they flow. At Brockville we took in a party of ladies, which somewhat relieved the mono- tony of the cabin, and I was amused by listening to their lively prattle, and the little gossip with which they strove to wile away the tedium of the voyage. The day was too stormy to go upon deck, â€" thunder and lightning, accompanied with torrents of rain. Amid the confusion of the elements. I tried to get a peep at the Lake of the Thousands Isles but the driving storm blended all objects into one, and I returned wet and disappointed to my berth. We passed Kingston at midnight, and lost all our lady passengers but two. The gale con- tinued until daybieak, and noise and con- fusion prevailed all night, which was greatly increased by the uproarious conduct of a wild Irish emigrant, who thought tit to make bis bed upon the mat before the cabin door. He Sing, he shouted, he harangued his countrymen on the political state ot the Emerald Islfe, in a style which waa loud if not eloquent. Sleep was impossible, whilst his stentorian lungs continued to pour forth torrents of unnieaning sound. Our Dutch stewardess was highly enraged. His conduct, she said, " wsls perfectly on- dacent." She opened the door, and, be- stowing upon him several kicks, bade him get away " out of that," or she would com- plain to the captain. In answer to this remonstrance, he caught her by the foot, and pulled her down. Then waving the tattered ramaios of his straw hat in the air, he shouted with an air of triumph, " Git out wid you, you onid witch! Shure the ladies, the purty darlints, never sent you wid that ' ugly message to Pat,' who loves them so entirely, that he means to kape watch over them through the bless- ed night." Then making a ludicrous bow, he continued, "Ladies, I'm at your sar- vice I only wish I could get a dispensation from the Pope, and I'd marry yeas alL" The stewardess bolted the door, and the mad fellow kept up such a racket that we all wished him at the bottom of the Ontario. The following day was wet and gloomy. The storm had protrac«d the leng th of our voyage fur sevftral hours, and it was mid- night when we landed at Cobonrg. (to BE CONTINUED.) â€" A Btory of Eoyalty. At a party in Bsrlin Prof. Curtius, an in- timate friend of the late Emperor, related a story which had been told him once by his august patron, illustrating the character of Queen Victoria. The Emperar, then King of Prussia, but an exile in Eng»md, had wit- nessed the tremendousenthusiasm displayed by all London in^ront of Buckingham Palace after the well-known attempt on her Ma- jesty's life, when she was slightly wounded, and was present the same night in the Queen's box at her Majesty's theatre when tne ovation of the audience on seeing her Majesty enter knew no bounds. Scruck by his own anomalous position^oi exile at the hands of his own subjects, and his kingdom on the point of destruction â€" the King coald not restrain his t^rs but the Qieen, see- ing his great emotion, seized his hand, and with true womanly instinct divining ita cause, said in an e^ectionato and sympathe- tic voice "Your MaJ3sty will live to ex- perience a similar demonstration toward yourself from yc nr own subj sets. " Prophetic words which the Emperor n-sver forgot. The King of Sweden was, on his ,last birthday, the recipient of a pretty little letter from a Swedish girl six years of age, who, beginning her epistle " Dear King," informed him that as hi.4 birthday coincided with her own she had written in order to congratulate him, particularly as she " loved her dear King ao very much.' He wrote back " I thank the little Miss S. A., six years of age, for her letter of congratulation on my birthday, which is also hers. May she become a crood woman, aud.thus afford pleasure to her King Oscar." The letter iraa aooompanied by a handsome gold bangle. FlaTor of Eggs. The fanciers' Review aaya "Well wa^er a dime that hens fed on the manure he ap and compelled to drink bam-yard wattx will give their 'eggs a '^caliar flavor.'" We think the Review ia correct. The qual- ity of egga can be improved or deteriorated by the feed. A continaoua feeding with chop- ped oniona will impart a atrong onion fla- vor to eggs, and for that matter, to the flesh of the fowl too, if killed at the time of eat- ing oniona. Food should be clean and of good qaality, if good food ia desired from the prodnot of the feeding. B«member the old -tying that "Like prodncea like."
