NOISELESS @lge 33311:th <92 fifininn. ..—-* , ~ >7»- SATUIEDAY MORNING, NOV. 3, 1860 A 00L ONIA L A D VENTURE. Many years of my life have passed since I bade farewell, for good and aye, to the flour- ' ishing colony of Nova Scotia; and the remem brance of the interests and amusements in which I once participated—of the climate un— der whose influence 1 have so often shit-cred or scorched—of the scenery, so wild, yet So beau~ tiful, has new faded awn-y from my recollec tion, before the impression of other and new scenes. There is one incident. of my stay there, however, which stands out sharp and prominent. from amongst the haze that shad— ows the rust of the picture, and from its pecu liarity. and absurdity never recurs to my mind without a smile, though the laugh be entirely at my own expense. Halifax is not, or rather was not in my time, at all deficient in amusements ; the country around it afforded abundance of hunting, shoot ing, and fishing to those whose time and in clination led them to indulge in such pursuits. In summer, the presence of the West Indies fleet gave life to the society of the town; and when winter laid its icy hand on the little pe ninsula, and with its barrier of snow and'frost' seemed almost to cut off the I-lalligonians from the rest of the world, it brought with it, too, new amusements to console them for their iso ‘ lated position. The lakes, ponds, and some— ‘ times parts of the sea itself, were covered with | skaters. With the first fall of snow, sleighs, with their rich furs and merry sounding bells, were to be seen rapidly gliding in every direc‘ tion; sleighlng parties, replete with fun and incident, were constantly organized ; while the members of the Tandem Club vied with each other in the neatness of their turnouts and driving skill. Those, again, whose empty pockets were a check on their chariotccring propensities, took their share of amusement out of the snow, by traversing its. surface on 1 racquets, or mounted on a coaster or trcbog- . gin, by rushing over it where it clothed some steep hillside. In these amusements, however, I participated but little ; a. scdentry occupation engrossed my day from nine o’clock until five, leaving me but a slender margin for bodily exercise. I used most fervently to Wish the six months’ winter to come to ~au end, and i looked forward with pleasure to the long bright mornings of summer. These were indeed a. boon to me; I generally devoted them to bath ing (for the few summer months of the Nova Scot-inn climate are intensely hot ;) andl found that a dip in the sea before breakfast was the , best purifier both of mind and body for the business of the day. With this recreation I combined that of riding, so that, on a fine morning, I was about the first moving thing that the sun saw when he rose over the eastern ‘ hill, as I proceeded on horseback to my usual bathing place. I Let no one pictureto himself, at this familiar name, smooth sands, machines, and stout am [phibious bathing-women; but rather a. bold rock ruruiug out into the sca,/.with twenty feet of water beneath it, the adjoining shore wooded with stunted pine to the water’s edge, and only accessible by arough andintricate path through the bush. This is not a. place to go intoecsta sies on the beauty of these morning rides; the cool, refreshing air ; the luxuriant, almost tropical foliage, dripping with dew; the rising sun, breaking red and hot through the mist I that seemed to cling to the surface of the sea; the busy notes of the different birds, as they awoke to the duties of the day, from the conse quential chirp of the American robin, a stately ’ fellow in red waistcoat and dark glossy coat, I who sought his matutinnl worm in a slow and ; dignified manner, to the quick hiss of the dimin utive humming-bird, hurrying on, in his livery of green and gold, to gain the first sip from the new store of dew that. the night had provided for him in the cups of his favorite flowers.— Suffice it to say that, to one who saw nature but seldom, these early interviews were Very enjoyable. It was on such a morning asl have described that I was cuntering quietly along the turf side-path which led to my usualbathing-place, , accompanied by my constant companion, a rough Skye terrier, whose extended tongue and depressed tail showed that the pace was too severe for his short legs, when I was met by an agricultural Bluenose, thepossessor of the only log but and clearing that lay on my road.— Now, this meeting was nothing unusual in itself, since I had often before exchanged good mornings on passing him, as with his oxen and wain he toiled along the deeply rutted road.— He was naturally of aphlegmatic temperament, the descendant probably of some Dutch settler, and usually jealous of removing his short clay pipe to indulge in conversation; but on this occasion something had transpired which had effectually aroused him. In his open mouth was no pipe; the oxen were at home; and their owner, with a very dirty White face, and hair on end, was running along the road at the rate of four miles an hour. On seeing me, however, he stopped, and, as soon as he had recovered sufficient breath to speak, begged me to turn back with him. He then proceeded to inform me that a convict, a most desperate ruflian, and sentenced for murder to panel servitude for life, had escaped from the neighboring peni tentiary on the preceding afternoon; that search had been made for him that evening, but without success, and he was supposed to have escaped further into the bush. That night, however, he had made his way into the settler’s 1011er house, demanded food, and spent a. pleasant evening over the fire, smoking ‘ the Dutchman’s short pip, eating his supper, and drinking his private store of rttm. The poor squatter and his wife were utterly cowed, and ministered to the wants of their unwelcome guest in every particular. This J probably mollified his temper, and perhaps pre vented his fulfilling his first threat of adding murder to robbery. At. daybreak he left them, first, however, forbidding the lawful owner to quit his house for some hours, on peril of his life. This command poor Dutchy dared to dis obey, and, leaving his partner to the guardian ship of Providence, was now careering towards the town as fast as his legs could carry him.— His otuect for going there was not so clear; he appeared to have some hazy idea that there he would find safety and assistance; but his facul ties had not sufficiently recovered the shock they had received to enable him to form any connected plan 0f proceedings. Now, I must say that, when I received this story, inter spersed with many puffs and groans from my still short-winded informant, my first impulse was to turn back, and give up my bathe, to keep him company on his way to town. Still, when I calculated on the chances of meeting the es caped one at all, much more at the moment when I was in the water, stripped and defence less, I found the odds against the renconnter were very large; besides, I did not not feel inclined to relinquish my bath—[did not like the idea. of retreating from fear of one man, who, for all I knew, might be now miles amay; and, therefore, notwithstanding the remon strances of my friend, I determined to proceed. He did not. waste much time in persuasion; but, after looking at. me a moment or two with a wondering air, bowled on. again, at the top of his speed, towards the town. ' I was not altogether comfortable, I confess, as I kicked my horse’s sides with my heels, and induced him to resume his center; it was with rather an air of bravado thutl whistled to my dog, told him the circumstances of the case. and exhorted him to keep a sharp look-out. I confess to looking over my shoulder as I went on; and, when I arrived at my bathing-place. I must say I took a careful survey round before I dismounted, or proceeded to fasten up my steed. There was no sound to be heard, except. the monotonous surges of the calm water, and the patter of the drops falling from the dew laden houghs. There were no marks of foot- 1 steps on the grass, or traces of any human ‘ being. I felt secure, began to laugh at the absurdity of my former fears, and leisurely divesting my~ J self of my garments, prepared to take the “ plunge. As I stood for one moment on the edge of the rock, with arms raised above my head, preparatory to the leap, I took one last look 3 round ; there was my horse, tethered to his usual stump, grazing peacefully; my dog lay 3 panting near him. How foolish I had been, thought I; and in 1 went. Now, it is my cus tom, on jumping into the deep water, not im mediately to rise again, like a cork, to the surface, but to swim, as long as I have any breath left, beneath it; and, when at length I arrive at the top, to proceed to free my eyes from the salt water before looking much about me, for to see with eyes full of brine cannot reasonably be expected of anybody. It is not to be wondered at. therefore, that on this par ticular occasion I did not immediately discover, after my submersion, some. foreign object on my rock. However, I soon did. There was some thing there bins and yellow: itsparti-colored legs were hanging over the ledge—it was the murderer ! I could not at first believe my water-logged eyes, and gave them another rub; stillthere he sat, a rough-looking fellow enough, with close-cut hair, and forbidding face. In the corner of his dirty mouth was the Dutch man’s pipe; on his knees was my black coat, the pockets of which he was carelessly search ing. He appeared a. good-natured murderer enough, a victim of circumstances I should say. one whose naturally good disposition had been perverted by education, and with a keen sense of fun into the bargain. Our comparative po sition seemed to amuse him vastly. lie helped himself to some tobacco he found in my coat pocket, cut it up with a. knife, lighted it with a fusee that he found in my waist coat pocket, took a few whifi‘s with an air of great inward comfort, gave me a short nod, and then spoke : “Fine morning, mate? Water cold '3’” ' I had by this time taken a survey of my po sition, saw there was no help for it, so replied with a sympathetic shiver that it was cold— very cold; but, as he observed, it was a fine morning. “ I am going,” continued he, in an easy tone of voice, "to borrer those here clothes of yourn; Q they’re more quiet like than mine. 1 don’t mind, too, if I change shirts, as yours seems the cleanest, though I think you’ll gain in the long run,” said he, beginning to strip, and ex posing to my view a dirty, once red, now 110' color-at-all, flannel vestment beneath his frieze. i Itemonstrzlnces were rain. I was in the water, he on land—he was in possession. It was with grief that I viewed my garments one by one appropriated, and saw the gradual transforma tion of the man, from the leal, unmistakeable convict, to something between a dissipated waiter and a clergyman in the Queen’s Bench ; for, be it known, my garments were of a sad color and quiet cut, and although somewhat old, still dear to me. He could not get- on my boots; there was hope in that; I should be able to walk home in.comfort, if not in elegance—- boots and a. bathing-towl being hardly called fashionable, even in summer—but my hopes were decided to be disappointed. After many endeavors to force his feet into them, and after splitting one of them in the unavailing strug gle, he flung them both at me, saying they might be of use to me, but were none to him. He was now fully apparrelled. lie waved his hut—J mean my hat—in farewell, and turned to depart. He’ll leave the horse, hoped I. I was soon freed from my suspense. I heard him proceed to nufasten him; I heard the ani mal’s frightened snort as he recognized the dif ferent odor of the man. My dog, who had { kept up an unavailing bark and growl during ‘ the whole of the proceedings, followed him a little way, but soon ' returned ' disgusted. I heard him center oli‘, the hasty footsteps re echoing more faintly through the woods. I was alone again, and then the full force of my .position struck me. I swam to the shore, my fingers blue, and my teeth chattering like a pair of castanets, climbed tremblingly up the rock, and viewed with disgust the heap of dirty garments before me. “ No,” said I, “girl: with bathing-towel only, or in the primitive and leafy costume of our first parents, will I re turn, but not in those detested clothes.” t At this moment, a. sharp prick in the shoul . der, followed by another, and by what Long i fellow calls “a sound of wings,” brought me 1 down from my heroics.

It was enough; I needed no other protection ; the black fly le ‘ gions retreated discomfited. Even my dog seemed inclined to keep to windward, and 3 snified doubtingly at me. And here was a po— l sition to be in! How could I, in such guise, walk through the orderly streets of the town? How could I face the enraged stable keeper, the owner of the valuable and now stolen horse ‘3 How could I, with feet naked and tender, walk along the rough footpath throwh the bush '!—— With these reflections, I started on my way home, and gained the main road without sus taining any injury, with the exception of afew dozen thorns in each of my feet; bu} 3“ ”“5 point I was descried by a party of police.- Wm}, under the conduct of the Dutchman. were e“- dently searching for the escaped One- Although at some distance, they immediately caught'Slght of my many-colored clothes, and: ““5103 a shout, advanced upon me Wit-ll all the confidence of numbers.

MAN Woxsnu- AT TIII§ITY.—-—A letter from New York, in the Chicago Press and Tribune, burlesques the Trinity Church (New York) afi’uir very effectively. “Euthanasia. Am minta,” a, Fifth Avenue belle; is supposed to write it to her “dearcst, adorable Sabrina. Janef’ “I am so glad new that pa. kept. his pew in Trinity. 1 wish you coull have been here last. Sunday. I think it was the most. delicious day of my life. The Prince attended service at Trinity, and you remember our pew. It was so delightiully near to the royal party. It. was so much better than meeting him in a ball-room, and then there was just us much style, you know, and more—and so exclusive, everybody in full dress. Lima almost crazy with fear, least I should get disappointed by the milliner, and Madame Elunche, but everything came home in time ; the sweetest bonnet you ever saw, with a Prince’s plume; and I enclose you a. little piece of the dress, the new Renfrew robe, isn’t. it. lovely? it made pa frown alittle when the bills come home, but me attended to all that. I had pa. get me the finest prayer-book he could find; crimson velvet, with a heavy gold clasp. How lucky that when we girls were at. schodl at. Madame Dessaix’s Young Ladle-5’ llypophonapheu, we were regularly drilled in our responses in the church service, to give the proper sweet. expressiveness to the features. It was so lucky; and then, too, on Sunday morning, I practiced before the glass, saying them and the Lord’s Prayer aloud, and was getting along well, when that tease, Alfred, who was all the time hid behind the curtains, burst out laughing, and said, ‘go it, sis, that high pious style of thing will take him,’ just as if there was not a proper propriety even in saying the Lord’s prayer. But. Alfred is not religious, and does not appreciate these things. I never saw anything more impressive in my life. He came in with his suite 9. little late.— Everybotly rose and received him. Our dear rectors had prepared a delightfullittle surprise in into beautiful littc prayer books that lay upon the cushion, the most. exquisite bindings you ever saw, presents to Albert. Edward, one from Trinity Church, and the other from its clergy. That. tease, Alfred, says if he had ‘known that was the dodge,’ he would have had a box of his favorite El Renfrew cigars put. into the pew, presented by the son of one of the wardens of Trinity, as pa. is, you know. But. Alfred should not. joke on such sacred things. How sweet and how touching to give a young man away from home a. pious gift, like a 'prayer-book The choir all came out. in their new surplices, twenty-four in' all. That, tease, Alfred, whis pared to Jlle, ‘Considerable surplus piety in this Church.’ I was provoked. but. I had to laugh. He is such a. witch. I wonder the surplices are not. everywhere in use, they give such a. religious tone. I said so to pa, but he does not. like surplices, and said gruflly, ‘we should come to candles soon.’ '- The Services were most imposing. They must have reminded the Prince of his home, and the tears came to my eyes as I thought of it. I saw him looking at me just then, andmy' heart beat. There were a great. many clergy men present, and several bishops, and they took turns, and all of them never appeared better. Some of the intoning was lovely, and so full of piety. Ma. saitl religion never seemed so much like religion as on that day, and Alfred; the to tse, said it reminded him a little of the Fourth of July, but Alfred isn’t- pious, you know. Pa says he never was prouder of Triu ity, all but the surplices in the choir. But I cannot tell you all the lovely things of that Sunday. The sermon was splendid. My letter is longer than I intended, but the memory of that Sunday is so delightful. I wish you could have been here. How fortunate for New York and this country that there is at Trinity where the dear Prince could be reminded of home. I forgot to say that I watched him carefullyin all the responses. lam certain he pronounces 1- like zr, as, for instance, ‘Toke not thy Holy Spiwit from us,’ ‘And gwant us Thy Salvation.’ I wish you could have heard him. It- is better than dancing with the Prince to attend church. with him.” A Wane ATTACKEQ') BY A Swonnnsm—A remarkable scene was witnessed by a boat’s crew belonging to the Island of Westmy, abont a. fortnight ago. As Gavin Mowat, and his baat’s crew, were engaged fishing for cod, about; six miles from land, to the eastward of Noup Head, they observed a large whale runnlng rapidly toward their boat. .Iu a. little tune there was a. violent commotion. The whole leaned about six feet clear out of the wales, whéu they observed that a swordfish had struck its lathal weapon into its body just behind the large fin. The huge animal continued in the greatest distress, leaping out of the water, but obviously getting more feeble, while the sword fish clung closely in spite of all its contortions. During all this time, also, a. thresher continued to strike the whale on both sides near its mid: tile, and the wounded animal continued to bleed profusely. The three creatures passad at some little distance from the boat, and the eddies were so considerable as to make it sway not a. little, though the sen. was otherwise perfectly calm. When it passed, the whale was pulfing so feebly that he seemed literally gasping for breath. and the men felt certain that it must have died in a. short time.——orlnm_y Herald.
