I iMve seen many stnoge fish in my d*} s. but I never met with his equal " About a Konth previous to onr emigration to Caiuula, my hiubuid said to me, " You need aot expect me home to dinner to-day I am going with my friend Wil«on to Yâ€" â€" to hear iS. C lecture upon emigration to Canada. He has jnat returned from the North American provinces, and his lectures are attended by vast numbers of persons who are anxious to obtain imformation on the subject I got a note from your friend B this morning, beeging me to come over and listen to his palaver and as Wil- son thinks of emigrating in the spring, he will be my walking companion." ' Tom Wilson going to Canada I" said I, as the door closed on my better- half. " Wnat a back-woodsman he will make What a loss to the single ladies of S 1 What will they do without him at their balls ^nd picnics " One of my sisters, who was writing at a table near me, was highly amused at this unexpected announcement. She fell' back in her chair and indulged in a long and hearty laugh. I am certain that most of my readers would have joined in her laugh, had they known the object which provoked her mirth. " Poor Tom is such a dreamer," said my sister, " it would be an act of char- ity in Moodie to persuade him from under- taking such a wild-goose chase only that I fancy my good brother is possessed with ^be same naoia." "IF.%7, G6cl forbid!' said I. "I hope this Mr. with the unpronounceable name, will disgust them with his eloquence foi^ B writes me word, in his droll way, that he is a coarse, vulgar .fellow, and lacks the disunity of a bear. Oh 1 1 am cer- tain they will return quite sickened with the Canadian project." Thus I laid the flattering unction to my soul, little dream- ing that I and mine should share in the ItrankS adventures of this oddist of all odd. crMiare0 It might b6 made a subject of curious in qtiiry to those who delight in human absurd- ities, if ever there were a character drawn In works of fiction so extravagantly ridicu- lous as some which daily experience presents to our view. We have encountered people in the broad thoroughfares of life more ec- centric than ever we read of in books peo- ple who, if all their foolish saying and doings were duly recorded, would vie with the drollest creations of Hood, or George Col- man, and put to shsme the flights of Baron Munchausen. Not that Tom Wilson was a romancer oh no 1 He was the very prose of prose, a man in a mist, who seemed afraid of moving about for fear of knocking his head against a tree, and finding a halter suspended to its branches â€" a man as helpless and as indolent as a baby. Mr. Thomas, or Tom Wilson, as he was familiarily called by all his friends and ac- quaintances, was the son of a gentleman who possessed a large landed property in tJie neighborhood but an extravagant and profligate expenditure of the income which he derived from a fine estate which had des- C3nded from father to eon through many generations, had greatly reduced the cir- cumstances of the elder Wilson. Still, hia family held a certain high rank and stand- ing in their native country, of which his e\?l courses, bad as they were, could not wholly deprive them. The young people â€" and a very large family they made of sons and daughters, twelve in number â€" were ob- jects o! interest and commiseration to all who knew them, while the worthless father was justly held in contempt. Our hero was the youngest of the six sons and from his childhood he was famous for his nothin?- to-doishnese. He was too indolent to en- gage heart and aoul in the manly sporte of his comrades and he never thought it necetsary to commence leoming his lessons until the school had been in an hour. As he grew up to man's estate, he might be seen dawdling about in a black frock-coat, jean trousers, and white kid gloves, making lazy bows to the pretty girls of his ac- quaintanc3 or dressed in a green shooting jacket, with a gun across his shoulder, saimtering down the wooded lanes, with a brown spaniel dodging at his heels, and looking as sleepy and indolent as his master. doubtfulâ€" but hii honerty of heart wad V*- poae never. When you met Tom in the streets, he was dressed with such neatness and care (to be sure it took him half the day to make his toilet), that it led many persons to inm^e that this very ugly young man considered himself an Adonis smd I must confess that I rather inclined to tins opinion. He always paced the public streets with a slow, delib- erate tread, and with his eyes fixed intently on the ground â€" like a man who had lost his ideas, and was diligently employed in searching for them. I chanced to meet him one day in this dreamy mood. "How do you do Mr. Wilson?"' He stored at me for several minutes as if doubt- ful of my presence or identity. What was it you said?" I repeated the question and he answered, with one of his incredulous smiles. " Was it to me yon spoke? Oh, I am quite well, or I should not be walking here. By the way, did you see my dog " ' How should I know your dog " They say he resembles me. He's a queer dog, too but I never could find out the likeness. Good night 1" This was at noonday but Tom had a habit of taking light for darkness, and dark- ness for light, in all he did or said. H« must have had different eyes and ears, and a different way of seeing, hearing, and com- prehending; than is possessed by the gener- ality of hia species and to such a length did he carry this abstraction of soul find sense, that he would often leave you abrupt- ly in the middle of a sentence and if you chanced to meet him some weeks after, he would resume the conversation with the very word at n Jich he had cut short the thread of your discourse. A lady once told him in jest, that her younger brother, a lad of twelve years old, had called his donkey Braham, in honour of the great singer of that name. Tom made no answer, but started abruptly away. Three months after, she happened to en- counter him on the same spot, when he accosted her, without any previous saluta- tion. " You were telling me about a donkey. Miss a donkey of your brother's â€" Braham, I think yon »lled him â€" yes, Braham a strange name for an ass I wonder what the great Mr. Braham would say to that. Ha, ha, ha!" " Your memory must be excellert, Mr. Wilson, to enable you to remember such a trifling circumstance all this time." " Trifling, do you call it? Why, I have thought pf nothing else ever since." From traito such as these my readers will be tempted to imagine him brother to the animal who had dwelt so long in his thoughts but there were times when he surmounted this strange absence of mind, and could talk and act as sensibly as other folks. Oa the death of hia father, he emigrated to New South Wales, where he contrived to doze away seven years of his valueless ex- istence, suffering his convict cervants to rob him of everything, and finally to burn his dwelling. He returned to his native village, dressed as an Italian mendicant, with a monkey perched upon his shoulder, and playing airs of his own composition upon a hurdy-gurdy. In this distsuise he sought the dwelling of an old bachelor uncle, and solicited his charity. But who that had once seen our friend Tom could ever forget him Nature had no counterpart of one who in mind and form was alike original. The good natured old soldier, at a glance, discovered his hopeful nephew, received him into hia house with kindness, and had afforded him an asylum ever since. One little anecdote of him at this period will illustrate the quiet love of mischief with which he was imbued. Travelling from W to London in the stage-coach (rail- ways were not invented in these days), he The slowness of all Tom's movements was strangely contrasted with his slight, e. entered into conversation with an intelligent farmer who sat next him New South Wales, and his residence in that colony, forming the leading topic. A dissenting minister who happened to be his visa vis, and who had annoyed him by making sever- al impertinent remarks, suddenly asked him, with a sneer, how many years he had been there. "Seven," returned Tom, in a solemn tone, without deigning a glance at hb com- ' panion. II thought so," responded the other, thrusting his hands into his breeches Its was pockets. " And pray, sir, what were you legant, ' 8^^^ ti„ â-  there for ' and symmetrical figure that looked as if « Stealing pigs," returned the incorrigible it only awaited the will of the owner to be Tom, with the gravity of a judge. The the most active piece of human machinery ^ords were scarcely pronounced when the that ever responded to the impluses of youth qnestioner called the coachman to stop, pre- and health. But then, his face What ferring a ride outside in the rain to a seat pencil could faithfully delineate features at within with a thief. Tom greatly enjoyed once so; comical and Ingburious â€" ^features â-  t^e hoax, which he used to tell with the merriest of all grave faces. I Besides being a devoted admirer of the fair sex, and always imagining himself in love with some unattainable beauty, he had a passionate crsze for music, and played upon the viulin and flute with considerable taste and execution. The sound of a favourite melody operated upon the breath that one moment expressed the moat solemn ' seriousness, and the next, the moat crotesque j and absurd abandonment to mirth In him, all extrerr es appeared to meet tne man was a contradiction to himself. Tom was a person of few words, and so intensely lazy, that it required a strong effort of will to enable him to answer the questions of in- qxuring friends and when at length aroused j^g automaton like magic, his frczsn fecul to exercise his colloquial powers, he perform ed the task in so original a manner, that it never failed to upset the gravity of the in- j torrogator. When he raised his large, prominent, leaden-coloured eyes from the STOund, and looked the inquirer steadily in the face, the effect was irresutible the laugh would come, â€" do your best to resist it. I Poor Tom took this mistimed merriment in very good part, generally answering; with a ghastiy contortion which he meant for a smile, or, if he did trouble himself to find words. «i4L " Well thaVs funny What mi^es yon Mugh At me I suppose I don't wonder at It; lofton laugh at myself." Tom would have been a treasure to an undertaker. He would have been celebrat- ed as a mute he looked as if he had been ham in A^ shroud, and rocked in a coffin. ' with which he could answer a ipertinent question oom- and turned the shafts of p.pon his opp«)nent. If Tom I ol^aot of ridicule to many, quietly ridiculing others, to all competition.

T«m was' net without nee la hi» iay aad^ ties experienced a sudden thaw, and the stream of life leaped and gambolled for a while with uncontrollable vivacity. He laughed, danced, sang, and made love iu a breath, committing a thousand mad vagaries to make you acquainted with his existence. My husband had a remarkably sweet- toned flute, and this flute Tom regarded with a species of idolatry. " I break the Tenth Ccmmandmant, Moodie, whenever I hear yon play upon that flute. Take cture of your black wife," (a name he had bestowed upon the coveted treasure), " or I shall uertainly run off with her." "I am half afraid of you, Tom. I am sure if I were to die, and leave you my black wife as a legacy, you would be too much overjoyed to lament my death." Such was the strange, whimucal being who contemplated an emigration to Canada. How he sucoeeded in the speculation the se- quel will show. It was late in the evBPln g b efore my bus band and his Mend Tom Wilson returned irom V I had provided a hot sup- per and a cnp of coffee after their long walk, and they did ample jostioe to my oare.

But oome, Wilson, give my wife some account of the intellectual Mrt of the entertainment. ' " What 1â€" Iâ€" Iâ€" I give an account of the lecture? Why, my dear fellow, I never listened to one word of it " " I thought yon went to Y on pur pose to obtain information on the subject of emigration to Canada?" ,. " Well, and so I dia but when the fel- low pulled out his pamphlet, and said tiiat it contained the substance of his lecture and only cost a shilling, I thought that it was better to secure the substance than endeavor to catch the shadow â€" so I bought the book, and spared myself the pain of lis^ening^ to to the oratory of the writer. Mrs. Modlie I he had a shocking delivery, a drawling, vul- gar voice and he spoke with such a nasal twang that I could not bear to look at him, or listen to him.

Oh, I wish that you could have seen the wretch But here is the do- cument, written in the same style in whic'a it is spoken. Bead it you have a treat in st:re." I took the pamphlet, not a little amused at hia description of Mr. C â€" â€" -, for whom I felt an uncharitable dislike. " And how did you contrive to entertain yourself, Mr. Wilson, during his long ad- dress?" " By thinking how many fools were col- lected together to listen to one greater than the rest. By the way, Moodie, did you notice Farmer Flitch " " No where did he sit ' " At the foot of the table. You must have have seen him, he was too big to be overlooked.

It was very droll was it not " "And what do you intend doing with yourself when you arrive in Canada " said I. "Find out some large hollow iree, and live like Bruin in the winter by sucking my paws. Iu the summer there will be plenty of mast and acorns to satisfy the wants of an abstemious fel!o v." •' But joking apart, my dear fellow," said my husband, anxious to induce him. to abandon a scheme so hopeless, "do you think that you are at all qualified for a life of toil and hardship " " Are you?" returned Tom, raising his large, bushy, black eyebrows to the top of his forehead, and fixing hia leaden eyes steadfastly upon his interrogator, with an air of such absurd gravity that we burst int3 a ht arty laugh. " Now what do you laugh for I am sure I asked you a very serious question." " But your method of putting it is so un- usual that you must excuse us for laughing." " I don't want you to weep," s»id Tom "but as to our qualifications, Moodie, I think them pretty equal. I know you think otherwise, but i will explain. Let me see what was I going to say â€" ah, I have it You go with the intention of clearing land, and working for yourself, and doing a great deaL I have tried that before in New South Wales, and I kno^v that it won't answer. Gentlemen can't work like labourers, and if they could they won't â€" it is not in them, and that you will find out. You expect, by going to Canada, to make your fortune, or at least secure a comfort- able independence. I anticipate no such re- sults yet I mean to go, partly out of a whim, partly to satisfy my curiosity whether it is a better country than New South Wales and lastly, in the hope of bettering my condition in a small way, which at present is so bad that it can scarce- ly be worse. I mean to purchase a farm with the three hundred pounds I received last week from the sale of my father's property and if the Canadian soil yields only half what Mr. C says it does, I need not starve. But the refined habits in which you have been brought u^, and your unfcrtonate literary propensitiesâ€" (I say unfortunate, because yon will seldom meet people iu a colony who can or will sympa- thise with you in these pursuits) â€" they will make you an object of mistrust and envy to those who cannot appreciate them, and will h' a. source of constant mortification and disappointment to yourselt. Thank God I have no literarv propensities but, in spits of the latter advantage, in all probabil- ity I shall make no exertion at all so that your energy damped by disgust and disap- pointment, and my laziness will end in the same thing, and we shall both return like bad pennies to our native shores. But, as I have neither wife nor child to involve in my failure, I think, without much self-flattery, chat my prospecte are better than yours. '° This was the longest speech I ever heard Tom utter and, evidentiy astonished at himself, he sprang up abruptly from the table, oversee a cup of oofiee into my lap. and, wishing us good day (it was eleven o'clock at night), he ran out of the house. There was more truth in poor Tom's words than at that moment we were willing to allow for youth and hops were on our side in those days, and we were most ready to follow the suggestions of the latter. My husband finally determined to emi- sraie to Canada, and in the hurry and bastle of a sudden preparation to depart, Tom and his affairs were for a while for- gotten. How dark and heavily did that frightful anticipation weigh upon my heart 1 Am the time for our departure drew near, the thought of leaving my friends and native land became so intensely painful that it haunted meeven In sleep.

He was dressed in a new shooting- jacket, with his gun lying careless- ly across his shoulder, and an ugly pointer dog following at a little distance. " Well, Mrs. Moodie, I am off," said Tom, shaking hands with my sister instead of me. " I suppose £ shall see Moodie in London. What do you thiak of my dog " patting him affectionately. " I think him an ugly beast,*' said C â€" " Po yoti mean to take him with you " " An ugly beast Iâ€" Duchess a beast Why, she is a perfect beauty â€" Beauty and the beast He, ha ha 1 I gave two guineas for her last night." (I thought of the old adage.) " Mrs. Moodie, your sister is no judge of a dog." •* Very likely," returned C laughing. " And you go to town to night, Mr. VVUson? I thought as you came up to the house that you were equipped for shooting." " To be sure there is capital shooting in Canada." "So I have heard â€" plenty of bears and wolves I suppose you take out your dos and gun in anticipation ' " True," said Tom. "But you surely are not going to take that dog with you ' " Indeed I am. She is a most valuable brute. The very besi venture I could take. My brother Charles has engaged our pas- sage in the same vessel." " It would ba a pity to part you," said I. " May you prove as lucky a pair as Whit- tington and his cat." " Whittington Whittington " said Tom, staring at my sister, and beeinuing to dream, which he invariably did in the company of women. " Who was the gentleman " "A very old friend of mine, one whom I have known since I was a very little girl," said my sister " but I have not time to tell you more about him now.
