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. Ivlooked round me—
l the air was dark with myriads thirsting for
blood. With a feeling " of sympathy for the
1 Egyptians, and a surmise as to the probability

Eden, Irnshed to, and sought protection of,
. the many-colored garments. 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

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.

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.
