were not in vogud m tlmso days, ncr were
tho lumbermen of this region very abstem

of tho bar-room hearth; ninoked a cisar

winked to his wife, who was a inoet unin

dressed, who had arrived before me, had fal
len asleep, und was snoring on a bench a
gainst the well; My pack, or stock in tradoj
was stowed in one corner, and a great dog,
my travelling companion, in the orinosite.
In this way tho evening wai spent till nine

lighted md up ihe ladder with a huge pine
