Z -V any. Next came the Molson residence at the neiglihoring point, when ' we got milk without money and without ])rice,—the first article of food or di-ink that we had not ])aid for. At dinner time signs of a heavy thunder shower warned us to pre])are; we |)ut the coverings on the canoes, clothed ourselves in rubber, and sought the j)rotection of some thick-branched trees. It was a false alarm, as the shower ))assed around us, but “grumbled and rumbled and roared” as if it had done mischief somewhere. Accident number two: A spark from our lire, unknown to us, hid itself in the bag which covered the frypan and tins to keep them from crocking the boat and ourselves. It was not discovered until it had burned the bottom off. As we had no ])ieces of cloth with us, we were in a quandary, but the sacrifice of a handkerchief made the sides meet.—Let us give a word of advice just here: Three or four bags of cotton cloth well ])araflined, which will hold a quart or two, are very con¬ venient for provisions. We wei’e then nearly oj»})osite Pawnee Rock Camp, before mentioned, and thoughts of the spring there made us thirsty, so we crossed over to renew our acquaintance with cam])ers and spring. We then recrossed in an oblique course to Long Island, to find the Balanced Rock and a camping place; for “the shades of night were falling fast.” We nearly ' circled the island before finding the rock, and com})leted the circuit before finding a place (south-west point) open enough to pitch our tent. The rock is certainly well balanced, tliat is, if stability and balanced are equivalent. We did not disturb it; a double yoke of oxen might have done so—possibly. There is good fishing off the island, and it is, therefore, a favorite camping place. As there were signs of a stormy night, we hastily pitched camp; but a second time there was more noise than water, and we Avere hap[)ily disappointed. (To be continued.) e-rsll O •g ' g?

I am the cook and steward too, I am tlie passengers and crew.” Tuesday, August 10. Another pleasant morning! We are wondering if such Aveather can last much longer. Buoyed up by tlie beans purchased yesterday, we set off early for Georgeville, but with a head wind. We sought the lee of all points and islands, to catch onr breatli and a little rest, and then we fought onr way around the next point. There is not as mnch excitement on a lake as on a river, as lieyond that ne.xt point we do not have any reason to expect rapids or a Avater-fall. Tliere are five islands Ixltween Magog and Georgeville in onr course. One little gron[) is named Three Sisters, very suggestive of “the three little maids.” By this zigzagging, we deeply impressed onr geometry lesson of otlicr days, regarding, straight lines and iieai-e.st distaiice.s, and we Avondered how mnch farther than the steamer’s course of ten miles ours was. We reached onr White Bii’cli Camp of Sunday, at noon, with onlv the loss of a rndder-hlade,owing to a conflict between the wind, iTidder, and a sunken rock; landed, re-inserted our humeri at the shoulder, and dined; found a S|)ring of ice-cold Avater only a quarter of a mile from camp, but invariably became very thirsty again before reaching camj). We have been surprised at the number of good boats which we have seen along shore, and tlie care they receive. Every farmer seems to he Tvell provid¬ ed, and a poor boat is an exee|)tion. Cedar laji-streaks, ribbed, with round bottom and a good keel, seemed to he the favorite. The wind left ns earlier than nsnal, so that we got away at 4 o’clock, and reached Jewett I oint, trolling as we paddled, at camping time. The average perch of this lake is large, a hiilf pound one being very common, and we soon had enough for supper and breakfast. On the way, M’e passed two men in a I v 4 I . 1 y-v « « k m A I-.

What a difference there is be tTveen Avork and—work! No spring or brook to make a jierfect camp ! Oth¬ erwise its central position would have made it very desirable. We have failed to mention the fact that tlie time of our trip was regulated by the moon. We started with the first quarter and now had the pleasure of a moon nearly hut as steady, nevertheless, as ever. This night, like others, was so beautiful upon the Avater tliat it seemed Avroiig to sleep it aAvay, hut Ave did. We judged that others had a similar feeling, for Avheuever Ave aAvoke, voices and the sound of oars came to our ears. “O’er no sweeter lake Shall morning break or noon-elond sail. No fairer face than thine shall take The sunset’s golden veil.” Wednesday, August 11. The morning of a typical dog day, misty, gloomy, depressing! But here conies the sun to draw the veil and change the expression of Nature’s face and our OAvn. As Ave “t«i-folded the draperies of onr conch” and looked out over the Avaters, we found that Ave Avere being inspected by a loon, only a few feet off; hut lie, she or it, startled by onr “good-morning,” suddenly remembered an apjiointmeiit lie liad Avitli some fresh-Avnter Nejitnne, and dove down to meet it. We think he has returned, hut a long Avatcliing did not discover him. Off for i Allan’s Point! Here Ave had a beautiful vicAV of the Avikl shore opposite, and also met the “Lady” on her morning trip. There is a trifle of danger and considerable excitement Avhen her Avake readies ns, and Ave en¬ joyed heading ai-ouml for it Avhenever she passed. At this point, our horne- Avard trip turned to the east and left tlie doAvnward, AA heii ucav scenes met onr eyes. Just around the point is the Allan boat-house, a huge affair, large enough to hold a good-sized steamboat. We jiaddled into its ojien end foi a short rest before fighting the strong Aviiid then hloAving, then hugged the shore until AA’C got into the lee of Molson’s Island, Avhere Ave discovered a plastered log-cahin, mined and deserted,—“one of the real old settlers.” It is now a sheejifold, and a large number of sheep have tlie run of the island,—an excel- Of course, we “took” lent place—no dogs, no fences, and a plenty of Avater. it, also a picture of one of the canoes in motion. Here, too, Ave found onr first and only Avater-lily. We siqiposed that there Avere others, hut did not see 1

On the map of the world you may cover Judea with your thumb, Athens with a finger-tip, and neither of them figures in the price current, but they still lord it in the thought and action of every civilized man.—[James Rus¬ sell Lowell. Parchment takes its name from the old city of Pergamus in Asia Minor, whose king, when the literary jeal¬ ousy of the Egyptians stopped the supply of papyrus, caused his subjects to write on prepared sheepskins; hence called Pergamena, or parch¬ ment. An English rifle team will come to this country soon, and the Prince of Wales has subscribed to a fund to pay their ex|»enses. A relative of his sent a flint musket team over here during Revolutionary days, hut they didn’t carry hack many jirizes, Pmice, which comes from the name of Dims Scotus, a celebrated school¬ man, whose followers, also learned scholars, were first called duns and then dunces. Just how or why it came to have its present significance is hard to say, but we know ivhat that is, and we see from what a height it has fallen. Shakespeare uses more different words than any other writer in the English language. Writers on the statistics of words inform us that he uses about filteen thousand different words in his plays and sonnets, tvliile there is no other writer who uses as many as ten thousand. Some few writers use nine thousand words, hut the majority of the writers do not em¬ ploy more than eight thousand. In conversation, only from three thou¬ sand to five thousand different words are used. JESSE A. TAFT, ATTORNEY ANB CODNSELLOR AT LAW, IRVING BLOCK, OPP. POST OFFICE, Milford, Mass. C. B.
