When I was a hoy, I lived among tho Gieen Mountains of Vermont j in winter making snow forts and sliding down the steep hills, and in summer and antnmn wandering over the moontain after flowers omHtft, or catching the beautiful trout from the brooks. But my brotbMin Wisconsin wrote for mc to come to him, and I Went. Our house was on what was then called Baxter's Prairie. The prairie was flowers, and the many clcar lakes around abounded io fish and duoks; but our principal food was hoe-cake and salt-pork. One of our neighbors had had no meat for some time, and getting but of powder, they had no game. So one day they sent up their oldest son, a boy about ted years old, for a pieco of pork. As he was carrying it homewards, and going through a pi«cc of woods by Silver Lake, he heard a rustling of the leaves in a thicket by the roadside. He stopped and listened—all was still. Again he pushed forward; again the leaves rustled behind him, and he thought he heard a stealthy step. Again ho stopped j everything was still, except the gentle dash of the waves upon the pebbly beach, and tho rapid beating of his own heart. S. Sturmev GROCERS, 103 MURRAY, near WEST St. GEO. W.
