A Colonial Adventure.
Many years of my lifir have passed since
I bade farewell, for pod and aye, to the
flourishing town of Nova Scotia; and the
remembrance of the kit-emits and =MSG
menu' in which I (nice participated,—of
the climate under whose influence 1 have
so often shivered on scortehed,--of the
scenery, so wild, yet 4 beautiful, has now
faded away from toy' recollection, before
the impressiorrof outer and new scenes.—
There is one incident of my stay there,
however, which stands out sharp and prom
inent from amongst the hoop that shadows
the rest of the picture, snit from Peculiari
ty and absurdity never recurs to mind
1 without a smile, though the laugh be en
tirely at my own expense.
Halifax is not, or rather *ae not in my
time at all deficient in atnseetner ta : the
country around it afforded abundance of
hunting, shooting, and asking to those
whose time and inclination Aed them to in
dulge in such pursuits. In summer, the
presence of the West Indies fleet gave life
to the society or the town ; and when win
ter laid its icy hand on the little peninsula,
and with its harrier of snow and frost,
seemed ahnoet to cut off the Halligonians
from the rest of the world, it brought with
it, too, new amusements to console them
for their isolated position. The lakes,
ponds, and sometimes parts of the sea it
self, were covered with skaters. With the
first fall of snow, sleighs, with their rich
furs and merry sounding bens, were to be
seen rapidly gliding in every direction ;
sleighing parties, replete with fun and in
cident, were constantly organized • while
the member* of the Tandem Club vied each
other in the neatness of their turnouts and
driving skill, Those, again, whose empty
pockets were a check to their share of
amusement Out of the snow, by traversing
its surface on racquets, or mounted On a
coaster or treboggin, by rnahin4 over it
where it clothed some steep hillside. In
these amusements, however, I participated
but little : a sedentary occupation enigmm.
eel my day from nine o'clock until fine,
leaving me but a slender margin for bodily
exercise. I used most fervently to wish
the six months' winter to come to an end,
and looked forward with pleasure to the
long bright mornings of summer. These
were indeed a boon to me ; I generally de
voted them to bathing (for the few sum
mer months of the Nova Scotian climate
are intensely hot;) and I 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, (*that, on a lien

his short legs, when 1 wa.l met by an agri
cultural Bluenose, the ptisseesor of the only
log hut 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, its with his
oxen and wain he toiled along the deeply
rutted road. He was naturally of spider
matie temperament, the descendant prob
ably of some Dutch settler, and usually
jealous of removing his short clay pipe to
indulge in conversation ; but on this occa
sion something had transpired which ef
fectually 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 good miles an hour.
On seeing - me. however, he stopped, and,
as soon as he hail recovered sufficient breath
to speak, begged me to turn back with him.
He then proceeded to inform me that a
convict, a most desperate ruffian, and sen
tenced for murder to penal servitude for
life, had camped from the neighboring
penitentiary on the preceding afternoon ;
that search bad been made for him that
evening, but without success, and he was
supposed to have escaped further into the
hush. That night, however, he had made
his way into the settler's lonely house, de-
mantled food, and spent a pleasant evening
over the fire, smoking the Dutchman's
short pipe, eating his supper, and drinking
his private store of rum. The poor squat
ter and his wife were utterly cowd, and
ministered to the wants of their unwelcome
guest in every particular. This probably
mollified his temper, and perhaps prevent-
ed his fulfilling his first threat of adding
murder to robbery. At day-break he left
them, first, however, forbidding the lawful
owner to quit his house for some hours, on
peril of his life. This command poor;
Dutohy dared to disobey, and, leaving his;
partner to the guardian ship of Provi-i
dence, was now careering towards the town'
as fast as his legs could - carry him. His.
object for going there was not so clear ; he
appeared to have some inlay idea that there
he would find safety and assistance ; but
his faculties had not sufficiently recovered
from the shock they bad received to en
able him to form any connected plan of
proceedings. Now, I mammy that, when
I received this atory,interspersed with many
puffs arid groans from my still short-wind
ed informant, my first impulse was to turn
back, and give up my bathe, to keep him
company on his way back to town. *Rill,
when I consiiAered the chances of meeting
the escaped one at all, mach more at the
moment when I was in the water, stripped
and defenceless, I found the odds against
the rencontre were very large ; besides, I
did not feel inclined to relinquish my bath
--I did not like the hies of retreating from
fear of one man, who, for ail I knew. might
be miles away ; and, therefore, notwith
standing the remonstrances of my friend.
f determined to proceed. He did not
waste much time in perfusion ; bat, after
looking et me a moment or two with a won
dering air, bowled on again, at the top of
his speed, towards the town.

ter ; it was with rather an air of bravado
that: I whistled to my dog. told him the
cireumstances of ihe (sure, and exhorted
him to keep a sharp look-out. I confess
to looking over my shoulder from time to
time, 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 pound to be heard, except the mo
notonous surge of the calm water, and the
patter of the drops falling from the dew
laden boughs. There were no marks of
footsteps on the grass. or traces of any hu
man being.
I Mt secure, began to laugh at the ab
surdity of my former fears, and leisurely
divested myself of my garments, prepared
to take the pinuge. As I stood for one
moment on the edge of the rock, with

the leap, I took one last look round; there
was my horse. tethered to his usual stamp,
gearing peacefully ; my dog lay panting
near bun. Ilow foolish I had been, tho't
I ; and in I went. Now, his my custom,
on jumping into the deep water, not im
mediately to rise again, like a cork, to the
Barbee, but to swim, as long as I have any
breath, beneath it; and, when at length I

eyes from the salt water hero - re looking

At this moment, a sharp prick in the

Longfellow calls -asound of wings:" brought
me down from my heroics. I looked round
me—the air was dark with myriads -thirst-

for the Egyptians. and a surmise as to the

at this point was descried by a party of
police, who, under the conduct of the
Nachman, were evidently searching for
the escaped one. Although at some dis
tance, they immediately caught sight of
my many colored clothes, and, raising a
shout, advanced upon me with all the con
fidence of numbers. In vain I assured
them, at the top of my voice, that it was a

explain the circumstances that placed me
in such a position. Encouraged by my nn
