THE EARLY FRENCH SETTLERS OF CANADA,

BY THE ACTHOR OF ** MAPLE Leaves.’’

~-——

Very diffrent was the status of our early settlers to that of those who eettled in other French colonies, or in some of the English ones. Caaealda never had to build up its fortunes on the success in after life of ex convicts, ex garroters, or ex-ticket-of-leave- men. Hardy farwmers, industrious mechanics, geldiers, adventurous fishermen landed in crowds on the shores of a country reported to coruin 8) oething moro than fertile fields mineral wealth in ¢xhaustless quantities The first nobies of the French realm vied with one another ‘n findiog oven and treasure to build up this New France whose future so fiattered the vanity of ihe great monarch High-bora 8 omen, such as the Duchesses de Bourilor, D Aizuillon, and Madame de La Peitrie, undertook ® provide virteous young gitis to go and seek their fortuncs and husbandsin this favored land. It is astonish- ing to see with what soleitude these emi-| grants were watcied over before they lef: France until they landed in Canada. In some Cases, the siigetest indiscretion cau-ed them to be sent tack to where they came from This a very ¢ Gerent verson, let it be remem beredy to that circulated by Baron Lahontan ; but it is | ev: ctheless the truth.

Many French gentlemen of ancient lineage, but unable to maintain their families in the exttavagant splendour which obtained at Court, asked for concessions of lands in Cana- da The progeny of some of these sezgneurs exist among: us to théday. At that carly | period, none Lut geatiemer could obtain com. | missions in t.e French army ; and it required |

Court influence to procure these appcint- | ments. Cana?1 was then singularly fortunate, |

The antecedents of the early sotilers of St. Christopher, one of tne West Llodies, may have been doubtful ; | but, on reference to history nothing of the kind can be impated to New France.* From I621 to 164! fuily from Perehe. Normandy, Beauee. [le| de Frances, Naot Onge, Poitou, and le Pays d’Aunie The tluguenots were not encour} aged to settle, for fear of religious strife.

The Compe ay of Rouen, and that of M. de} Monte, which had preceded it, were waar the control of merchants and traders, who! resided chief; in Normandy. It is, then, | noteurprising that they selected their em-| ployes at Roucn, at Dieppe, at Cherbourg, at) Fecamp, and at Honfleur. These employes became fami] «rized with the country; and}

when England returned it to France in 1632, |

and France ap seared ioclmed to keep it, they | alse notified that ifany cargo or portion thereof, is! partly covered with mussel mud, and within

enticed over to Canada their friends and) relatives, who occasionally sailed for A-ceri-| ea with their whole families. It was from | Dieppe that Champlain, after hii return from Eogland where he had been carried « prison : er by the Enzleh, eatled in 1653, with a} party of officers, missionaries, and colonists These pioneere had doubtiess been taken from | Normandy an the Pays de Caux.

| POTATO SETS.

A correspondent in the Country Gentle- | man, iu an article on potato culture, has the | following sensible remarks :

** | have noticed several articles in your

columns lately in regard to size ofseed. The }question appears to be,-shall we plant large, » small, cut or uncut seeds. There is almost j always too many eyes inthetill. We might | as well expect to raise large ears of corn with

| ten or twelve stalks to the hill, as large po-

| tatoes, with the same amount of vines in a j hill I bave tried every way of seeding, and

,with me the best is to select large, smooth ; well developed tubers, discarding deep-eyed |and prongy epecimens, for I believe in po- | tatoes, as well as in other things, “ Like be. gete like.”’ This is best done at digging time. Put them away by themselves. I have found it best to bury (for if put in cellar the temp- fation to ase them is great), and not oper: entil planting time. I then know thatI am all right as to seed. Cut them one eye in a | piece and put but one piece in the hill; plant in drills three feet apart, and hills eighteen inches apart in the drills, and at digging them you will find but few small potatoes. Cook them and feed the hogs. I believe that the j} main cause of potatoes running out is plant- ing small or mediam seed, and continuing it year after year.”’

Recently a livery stable keeper in Lowel was applied to by a fine appearing man for a horse and buggy, to go out of town for the day. He was furnished, and, when about to leave, was informed that it was customary | to have a deposit left by strangers. [le in }quired what the owner would take for his | team, and wastold $500, which was imme- jdiately banded over to the proprietor, | returning, the stable keeper was asked to ex. |

amine the team and see if he thought it was! worth as much as when taken in the morn- } ing, to which he answered in the affirmative jand handed the seranger the identical $500, who immediately left for the hotel. The stable keeper, not having realized any profit in the transaction followed, and informed him that he bad forgotten to pay for the use of theteam. ** What team?’ was the reply. * I bought a horse and buggy off you this morning and sold it back to you just now for the same price. I drove my own team,’’ The livery man found himself minus the a- mount of bis charge.
