We start next morning in slightiy different guise and order. Joe now making tracks, and the treboggin and irs contents, and everything but guns and ammunition, being left bchind in camp. About twenty minutes’ walking brings us at last to the Barrens,—large desolate plains, not inaptly named after Cain,—enclosed all round by the bush, which here and there strugg'es into them, and exactly fultiiling the received etymology of the Latin “ saltus,”’—to wit, opev spaces wherein all the beasts of the forest may leap. Joe takes a good observation, but can at first see nothing topur advantage. We soon, however, cross a double line of tracks, which Joe feels with his hand and pronounces to b ‘last night caliboo;” so we follow them. Soon there is a large hollow beaten in the snow. “ They sleep here,” says Joe, gathering a twig which they had browsed apon, and we follow straight on. The manual scrutiny is renewed every two or three minutes, till Joe affirms them only an hour old. Lie is unable to impart his science to me, but I gather that it has to do with the harduess of the snow in the priots, and avalculation of the amount of sun and frost whieh have acted upon them since they were made. Joe can date a track of yesterday to an hour, to-day’s to a few minutes. Great excitement; gun cases are taken off and caps put on, “ Bery fresh track,” whispers Joe; ‘caliboo bery near.” But on we go without overtaking them, till across another Barren we see them gallop off. ‘* No goot,” is Joe's commentary; “too hard crust; scare caliboo ;” which is intended to convey that the surface of the snow is so crisp, and our saowshves give premature alarm by their rattle upon it. So we turn to search for other tracks, and finding some more in thick cover, give chase ail the afternoon twisting and turning in every direction. The owners oi these Joe's manipulation again proclaims to be close ahead, but we cannot get within sight; and as darkness is coming on, aod we are far from camp, there is nothing for it but to give them up and turn back again. And now I see put to clearer proof the wonderful Indian instinct of finding the way. We have been meandering for hours through such dense bush that from two to ten yards all round has beea our utmost extent of vision. There is no sun to guide us; very little light, and that filtered on u through the thick branches. It is open to us, as [ suggest to’ retrace our own tracks and get back to camp by the circuitous course of the day’s march; but Jee simply says, “ T guess this ways,” and off we strike in a totally different direction; and by dint of occasional examinations of the tops of the trees, he takes us a two hour’s marck in a straight life to out camp, which he hits off as exactly as if he had it in his eye as a landmark to aim ut the whole distance ; even as I well remember in my youth/u! days steering wy college eight-oar at Magdalene tower, up the first reacu of Oxford race-course, Joe thiuks that he has made this manceavre perfectly clear to me by explaining that the trees are fullest on their south ; side; and this, though [ can’t see it myself, [ can understan: , being visible to Ludian eyes, which are microscopic 0 telescopic as oceasion demands. Bat, given the south, how he knows the direction of the camp after the labyrinthine march of the day, is oae of those things which pass m) understanding, lam desponding to-night, and think cariboo shooting a delusion; and Joe makes it his business to talk me into a sounder state of mind. Joe's facts are not amusing, but hi: disjointed thoughts and broken English are very, eapecialls as one finds oneself talking to him in return in the same idiomatic und figurative style of oratory. as if one were “ chafing” a child. He tells me presently that our failure to-day isowing to our not having “dreamt any caliboo.” “Goot luck dream celiboo: any dream, goot luck. I out last winter—other Lodians—hunt moose. Que night one Indian he dream he see ‘um squaw. Kill cow-moose next day. Bery goot dream that—bery goot luck. Dream ’um squaw, then always cow-moose.” ‘ Ah, cowesquaw, cow- '$@s about 50 acres of LAND, 24 of whieh are under | superstition.

It must be little more than ninety. Joe. I rise and fire. The jolly big beast gives three splendid bounds high into the air from his haunch-deep footprints, and from the third falls flop, heavily, but softly, like an elephant on a feather-bed, “Got him,” whispers Joe, and that is all ouf triumph at present, for-the cther two are still hovering near, not having seen as yet, and not caring for the crack of a rifle above the other noises of the forest. So we follow them, till cover again fails and we are forced to put up with a distant shot, which misses. ‘They see us too now, and are off full gallop to the woods. Never mind; Joe’s dream is fulfilled; we have killed our third cariboo. To which we hasten back, where he lies dead and well- nigh buried. All the dormant ‘* Awalrwas”’ now breaks forth in Joe, and off b> starts in a dance and song of triumph round the victim, excitedly but gravely, and as if it was his duty to be excited. Higger-higar: higger-higar: higger-higar ( forte). Miramichi bootay vootay bootay . .. . ad lib, (diminuends). Yooi Yoi (fortissimd). f [Pantemimic imitation of scalping.) Higger-higar, &e. (Da capo. )* I follow, both in dance and song, and to the latter add several words not founa in the original Indian, till consci- ousness of the curious group we must form sends me rolling in the snow, powerless with laughter; and wheo I rise Awahwas is no more, and taciturn Joe is stoically skinning jue cariboo. He has had an eye to business all along, and there has been reason in the gravity with which he went through his wildest contortions, for our dance has bearen down the snow all round, and he has now a good hard I look at Joe for advice; his “ Now,” whispers flooring ready for his laniatorial operations. fle first takes off the head; then pecls off the hide with the back of his knife as one would an orange-rind with a spoon ; then disenrbowels it (of enough for a mastodon) ; then looks up and asks whetber he shall cut it up “ Indian-ways or butcher’s-ways.” IL choose the former, in which he proceeds artistically to slice open the flesh and axe asunder the joints till our victim is in seven or eight large pieces. Now wherein the Indian method of dissection differs from that of the butcher, 1 am not sufficiently in the mysteries of ihe shambles to explain. When the heart is exposed, Joe dives at it, and his features expand into their only smile on record. as he holds it up to view with the ballet-hole right through it. “ Bery good shoot,” he says, while I try to look as if it was the sort of thing IT have been used to from my youth upwards. Gratifyiug however as it is to be able to record one instance of a smile from Joe, Lam bound to add, as a physiological fact, that it has the effect of making his ugly face uglier than before, and for all those infectious properties commonly sup- posed to reside iu smiles, is calculated to be a dead failnve, The disjecta membra are now lying about on the snow, which wears the appearance of white sugar burnt. Joe -houlders some of the meat and I the skin, and we trudg» back to camp for the treboggin whereon to fetch the remain- der, which Joe goes out again to bring home, while | hamber fur the night. Our repast on his retura‘is diversified with pir.ridge and venison, in addition to al] the other delicacizs before enumerated, and my rest to-aight is warmer and softer on the hide of my booty. The next day’s hunt was as barren as its scene. There was a high wind ou the plain, and the whole surface of the snow was drifling to the height of from one to ten feet above the level in one wavy cloud of fiae glittering powder, likes sea dried up into its component salt—a state of things more agreeable to the inner than the outer nerves of the eye. This filled up ail tracks as fast as they were made, aod though we found one or two, it was impossible to trace them, so we retreated early to camp. O you who have only known snow as the thick, moist, pudding-like substance which eneumbers the ground during a fewdays of au English winter, and associate it with damp feet and snowbalis, how little can you conceive the glories of that snow which has been pulverised by mouths of intense frost. Ask the sugar-refiuer the difference between the coarsest brown and the fiaest powdered white ; ask the con- from the most delicate “ [rish Blackguard ;” ask the larmer the relative consistency of the mud of February and the dust “co VY 2. }, ile . 2. cas ° > You dreamt any ?” he asks next morning, as the hissing 'of August, and you will be not a bit nearer than before to an I guess see some to-day.” s’pose shoot beads off.” As our guns are loaded only with ball, this last advice is good ; so we advance to a cowardly Silver Broaches, Scissors, Thimbles Butter Knives, Shawl Pins, proximity, fire simultaneously, and decapitate two unsus- &e; Pearl, Shell, and Scotch Wood, Card Cases, silver-| pecting specimens, Joe hereupon makes his only joke of the }week.

FROM THE BARRENS. Next morning we make a very early start, for Will | Doherty is to be at our settler’s at four P. M., and to bave tea prepared for our arrival. So in the dark do we breakfast and in the dark take our farewell of our four days’ home, ‘leaving it, with its “ chip loc-gwawgen,” “ luc-wei-teegen.” noc-tee-hagen,” and other its polysyllable culinary econ- | veniences, with the names wad uses of which Joe has siado me acquainted—baply to be inhabited by some family of bears or cat-a-mounts, or possibly to be restored for their own |use by a future party huuting these Barrens, And vow begins the hardest day’s work that I ever went through or exscct to go through.

For eleven long hours do | drag this unwieldy mass throagh the soft sinking snow.
