Tins 1 >>-i it A I | vert her gives an iiili'ri'?tiiiir description i?| the iiimlo of travelling during that period ; ? Tin* mails arc carried by Indians ainl ' half 1 n.'f?ls, when tin* iravi-llim; is good, : on th?*ir hael;s, ami when it is bad, l?y dog trains. The miow falls to a depth of from two j to five or six feet. Tlio snow shoes used by i the men are about eight or ten inches in ' width, ami from two and a half to four and a half feet in length. They are Hat, and ! arc made of a how of maple wood, round ' at the toe and coining to a point at the hell, j where the ends are fastened by thongs of I raw deerskin. The space is fi 11?. ?I by a lace work of raw deer or moose skin strings with the exception of a small space immediately in front of a cross piece of wood, upon which the ball of the foot rests. The shoos used by women are smaller than :hose used by the men, and of a different shape. The feet of the person using the shoes are incase' in mocassins of buckskiti, sufficiently large to admit three or four thicknesses of blanket. The blanket is used not only to keep the feet warm, but also to prevent the toes from heing chafed by the strings of buckskin which are passed over them, and bv which the shoes are fastened to the feet. The dog trains used are made of a flat board about half an inch in thickness, ten inches in width, and six or ten and twelve feet in length, and ate turned up in front. At each side of the train a rope is fastened, miiiiing the whole length of it, and a "train 1 cloth" of canvas used, eoiiMderably larger than lite train. The articles to he eairicd art* |?!acc?l or. the cloth, from one cud of the*! rain t? the oilier. The cloth is then wrapped over them, ami I;io-i?l up hv nu-ans of a .string parsing under the ropes at the side. For a tramp the edibles carrried are, usually ? some ll?mr, pilot hread, salt pork tea and sugar, and cooking utensils, a tin kettle and a frying pan. The food for the dogs is generally tallow and corn meal.? The bed-clothes are a single blanket to each man. Indians or half breeds aro employed as guides and assistants during a tramp. Imagine a white man and an Indian about Marling oti a " tramp" of three or four hundred miles, through a forest nnfiv<|iiented 1?y all living beings except wild birds and animals. Tho provisions are packed upon a train, the dugs are harnessed to it, one ahead of the other, to the number of four or live. The Indian takes the lead, with his snow shoes, the dogs follow with the train, and the "pale face"' brings up their rear, with yells to the dogs in front of him. Tramp, tramp, tramp, until noon, when a halt is made ; the train is unpacked, the kettle, tea and sugar is produced, a fire lighted, and after taking a cup of tea, the word is given and again the tramp commences. The party makes another halt in time to prepare the camping ground before the night sets .in. The dogs are left standing in their harness, the [ mlt'inc I o 1- r> c ???.! ? 1 r * IMV .'AU <11111 cms CllOllgll (tlei to last until morning, the white man uses a snow shoe for a shovel and clears away the the snow until the ground is rcache<l. A shelter is then built over the cleared space, of poles covered vnlh evergreen boughs.? The fr^nt of tho " wigwam" is left open and the giound covered with hemlock loughs. Immediately opposite tho front a rousing log lire is built, the dog* unharnessed, and the supper prepared. The supper is composed of a cup of tea, some pork cooked in tlic frying pan, and some flour cooked in the fat left from the pork. After supper the pipes and tobacco are produced, and the white man smokes in front of the Are, while the Indian cooks the supper of corn and tallow for the d?>gs in the same kettle in which the tea had been made but a few minutes beforo. After being satisfied with hU" smoke," the pale face and Indian wrap their blankets around them, and lay down side by side on the hemlocks bong s, with their feet to the fire, and sleep as sweetly and so soundly as "e'er did king upen the richest damask." In the in.-rn. ing, before day, the Indian prepares the breakfast which is ealen and the travelers again move on. The dogs are fed hut once a day, ?nd the reason is thc*3r travel milch better. A distance of thirty miles per day is traveled with ease by those accustomed to the use of snow shoes. When, toward Spring, the day becomes longer and the snn hotter, the travelling is done at night, and the resting and sleeping by day. The veteran Indian " snow-shoer" will never drink water, or eat snow, during the time he :s on his journey ; as he says it makes him w very much weak." The Indians and balf-brecds, on coming in from a long journey, on their arrival at their place of desiinatmn, will, if night is near and n dance is in prospect, stay about iin J * 1 .1 1 ?? ? sh me unit negins, go to it, and dance until daylight. We have known of parties of young inen putting on their snow shoes on Christmas morning, walking thirty miles to a ball, dancing all night and then walk ing a distance of twelve miles lo break fast. We hate in onr mind o-ne of the most wonderful feats of pedestrianism, which if it were not well substantiated, would be difficult of belief. It took place a number of years ngo. Mr. Schoolcraft, residing at Sault St. Marie, wished to send an express to Mackinac, distant by the tiail about aeventy-fivo Miles He sent for half breed called La Branch and told him thnt ho mint go to Mackinac, and thai ho must I ?<uit ill l'J n\ lni'li, M., lliiil il.iv, t. * Itianch j ohjn-tcd, a* tlific wit* |u ! ?? it 1 >t%!I in lln< 1 cneiiinjj of th>-next d iv. j' School*craft lull) Iiim tint he mn?t jjo, | ' J .'I* III' tttill ted to lit it lid I Ik* li.'lll, it' III' Wa?

When those solemn ohl crows, the ! years, have left the imprints of their feet on l he cheek hones anil temples, when the eyes is growing dull for lack of vivifying fuel, when age has pepper-and-salled the head, crooked ihe hack, and spavined the once sujde limhs, it is a very small piece of business to affect a jaunty air of juvenility. Foppishness and affectation are scarcely ' excusable in the young, but in the old they ] are as ridiculous as the antics of a monkey. ( The comparison, however, is aM in favor of the monkey, because its grimaces, though , grotesque, are at least natural. If we have been unfortunate enough to live a false life ( in our youth, we should live a true one in ] our declining :?gt\ An artificial old man ! or woman is indeed 4 a sorry sight.' Togo j ( down to the grave of age with painted cheeks and dyed hair, is an insult to Death, who comes to claim the dcht of nature, not of art. And really these old masqueradons deceive nobody. Wrinkles cannot he so puttied up, parchmcnl checks so be- i roughed, gray hair ho sat tired with sugar of ? lead and nitrate of silver, but that the 1 world shall discover the deception and i innke it food for laughter. The 4 old girl' . of three, score and ten may try to make her r shamble seem an amble, but it is literally 4 no go.' She may sport transported bloom j on her damaged cheeks, and cover what c should be her reverend head with a blae.k i mass of borrowed hair ; hut no youthful c poetaster will play the 'bnlhul'to her arti- i Ik'inl roses or apostrophize her ebon locks, i except in a satiric way, as 4 a cloud with a \ silver lining.' When she is dead, those 1 radicals, the worms, will pay no respect i whatever to her making up. and 4 though 1 she paint an inch thick, to this complexion a she must come at last.' i To our mind there is nothing more de 1 lightful to look than undisguised, Heaventruslinjr aire?the Imdv leanimr tri'iiiMin^K- v tor support upon its st:ilV, the sou! trustful- '' ly upon its Maker. May such lie our con 1 diiion as w? totter down life's last slope to tlie grand term inns.?A'. Lnlycr. 11 Important if True.?A recent number > of ilie Milwankie True Democrat contains ii a statement which is of value to the med r . " ical profession. That paper says : Some ci<rht mouths : "<?. Mr. T. Mason, . ' e who kept a music store on Washington j street, ami is brotlier of the well known . Lowell Mason, ascertained that he had a . ti cancer on his face of the size of a pea. It . was cut out by Dr. Waleot, and the wound . v partially healed. Subsequently it grew ^ attain, and while ho was in Cincinnati on .. ... . . ti business it attained the size of a hickory 1 * v nut. lie has remained there since Christ- (| mas under treatment and has come back ^ perfectly cured. The process is Lliis : A piece of sticking plaster was put over y the cancer, with a circular piecc cut out of ^ the centre a little la.-g< r than the cancer. ? . - 1 so lliut ilie cancer and a small circular rim of healthy skin next to it were exposed.? Then a plaster made of chloride of zinc, |( blood root and wheal flower was spread on y a bit of muslin of the size of this circular opening, and applied to the cancer for twen- b ty-four hours. On removing it the cancer willl be found to be burned into, and appear of the color and hardness of an old shoe sole, and the circular rn? ouisuic ol it will appear white and porboiled, as if scalded by a hot steam, f, Tlie wound is now dressed, and the out- ^ side rim soon suppurates, nnd the cancer a comes out a hard lump, and the place heals ff op. n The plaster kills the cancer, so that it ^ sloughs like de.'id flesh nnd never grows out again. r ' . CI This remedy was discovered by Dr. Fell, j of London, and has been used by him for . IT six or eight years with unfailing success, ^ and not a caso has been known of the re- ^ appearancc of the cancer where this remedy lins been applied. It has the sanction of the most eminent physicians and turgeons of London, but has not until recently been used in this country, and many of P the faculty, with their proverbial opposition to innovations, look upon it with dis. 8C trust. w It was a l.abit of Lord Elden, when At |e torney-Oeneral,^o close his speeches with ?? gi/iuc.icNiiuita juBinyinij mo own ciiaracier^ o' At tlie trials of Ilorne Tooke, speaking of al liis own reputation, ho paid : a "It is the inheritance I have to leave la my children, and by God's help, I will leave e: it unimpaired." ai Here he shed tears; and, to the aston pi ishinent of those present, Mitford, the Solici fr tor-General, began to weep. pi " Just look at Mitford," said a bystander te to Ilorne Took ; " what on earth is he cry- gi ing for ?"

' We never knew,' says a brot er editor, ' but one uninteresting and uu miable woman witli a hazel eye, and si had a nose which looked, as the Yank says, like the little end of nothing whittli down to a point.' The grey is a sign shrewdness and talent; great thinkers ai j captains have it. In woman, it indicat i a better head than heart. The dark ha: is noble in its significance, as well as in i beauty. The bine eye is amiable, b may bo feeble; the black take care ! The Lion and the Hare.?A lion on deemed a merry little hare worthy of li freudnhip. " It is then true," said llie ha to him one day, " that the crowing of wretched dunghill - cock frightened yc lions?" " Certainly, it is true,"said tl lion, "and as a general remark, all of i large animals are subject to somo sort < weakness. Tlius, for example, you ma perhaps have heard that the grunting of swine causes terror and dismay to the eli pliant." " Indeed,** said tbe hare, " now I unde stand tbe reason why we liares aro so te ribly afraid of a dog." An honest sun of Erin, green from h perigrinatious, put bis head into a lav ) er's office and asked the inmate: "An what d?? you sell here?'' " Blockheads," replied tbe limb of lb law. " Och thin, to bo sure," replied Pat, " j must be a good trade, for I Bee there is (bu one of liiim left." " Dad, I planted some potatoes, and wba you reckon come up i" " Why, potatoes of course." "No,sir-re-e, a big drove of hogs com up and eat them all." Dad '-kaved tD." vfil)C 3lbbcuUlc ttaiuuv* I KMlikrt Kwiy Thnrirtfi? fcomtnf. ^jr XJAV1M iKOtllQWM, c* W V DAVIS Editor ! T D.
