The fields were, arailitig O r verdure before

the farmer retuined at evening
,from his
fields and die', gay; citizen otthe'town drove
past, they christened it "Noah's folly."--
These more aged and-Sober shook „their

' Even the workmen eugaged upon it laugh

the ark went' up';' mid' the day's wonder 1

finished and curiosity satified, it was dis- I

Yet I' hive' 'soitietimes 'wordeled what-
people thought when they saw the beasts of

i gentle rain descended-=to Noah the begin
ning of the flood, to the world a welcome
shower. The farmer as he housed his cat-‘
Ile, rejoiced in the refreshing moisture, and
the city never checked its gaity or the man

tinued day after day, and fell faster and
flercel on the drenched earth, and the swol.
'len streams went, surging by, men cursed
the storm that seemed determined never to
bfeak up. The lowlands were deluged; the
streams broke over their banks, bearing
houses and cattle away on their,, maddened
'bosoms. Wealth was destroyed, and lives
lost, 'till men began to talk of ruined for
feits, famine,' and general desolation ; but
still it rained on. ' , Week after week it came
peering from the clouds, till it was like one
falling sheet of water, and the inhabitants
'ceuld - no longer stir from their doors. The
rich valleys that lay along the ricers were
flooded, and the peasants had sought the
eminences around for safety. Yet still the
waters rose ; ground, them, till all through the

Amid the surging'4l , that ' fierce ocean, his

'aitt,rbut the - light of 'faith . 'shone• round his
aged form, and the inoving lip spokewie
pose as tranquil as childhood's on the bostiat
of :maternal' love. , ' The - patriarch's' - God
, tinted that wild scene, and Noah felt his frail
hark-:quiver in every timber, without Arne
Mentor himself.. Up-borne on the flood, the
heaven:proteeted ark rose over the buried
14ities and mountain, and floated' stray on
~.the shoreless deep .: Like a single drop of
I dew this, round /mere of dtirs hung and trem
.bled—a globe'of 'wafer in mid heaven. I
have oftemivondered. what the Conversations
were during the long day and night that
Lonely ark was riding on the deep. As it•
rose and fell on the long-protracted swell,
sPassive ruins would go thundering by, Whale
lbrests sink and rise with the billows, while
ever and anon art upturn hill, as borne along
by the resistless tide, It struck a buried'
Mountain, would loom for a moment like
name black monster over the waves, then'
. plunge again to the fathomless bottom.—
amid this wreck and these sights, the ark
nailed on in safety. How often in imagine
lion have I-pictured it in the deluge at mid
hight. To a spectator what an object of in
'fierest it would have been: Round the wide
harsh the light frermi its solitary window was
the only indication of life that remained.- 7
9ne moment it `would be seen far upon the
(rest of the billow,' a mere speck of dame
ttadd the limitless darkness that environed
it, and -then disappear in the gulfs below as
it'extinguished forever. Thus that gentle
tight would sink and rise .on the breast of
the-deluge, the last, the only hope of the
human race. Helmless, and apparently
•uideless, its wreck—seemed inevitable, .bm
the sea never rolled that could extinguish
that star-like beam that told where theark
still floated. Not et-en the strong wind that
the Almighty sent over the water to dry it
Op, driving it into billows.that stormed, the
heavens, could sink it. 'Though it shook
like a reed in their strong grasp, and floun-.
pred through the deep gulfs, it passed un
erringly on to the summit of that mountain
int which it was to rest; and at length struck
ground and ceased its turbulent motion.—
(Noah waited a week, and then- sent forth a
raven to explore the deep. Though the
Waters still -swept from mountain to moan-

the surface furnished both food and resting

•gemle.eye for the green earth, and at last
turned, back towards the ark of rest. The
frip of its snowy wing Was heard on the
4-inctow, and the patriarch reached forth his
band andtook it in.' The fierce pantings
til its mottled breast, and-its drooping pin
ihns,, told too well that earth gave no pia&
d-repose. But the second time it was sent
abroad it -returned with an Olive led in its
mouth, showing that the earth had risen

with his family and stood on Mount Ararat,

I thought . of Hannibal, and his fire and vin
egar on the rocks of the 'San Bernard pass,
and men seemed going back to their
tive state, Instead of cutting down the'trees
that stood in the way they hewed' off the
roots, and then rope to the topl,
polled them overwith oxen. And thus they
work and toil away herein the depths of the
forest, all heedless of the great world with
out.. How strange-it seems to ' behold men
thus occupied, living contentedly fifty mileit
from a post office or village, and hear their
enquiries' about the wet' with Mexico, ask
ing of events that had - been quite forgotten
in New York They have their ambition,
but its object is a few acres of well cultivated
land, or the reputation of a good burlier";
and they have their troubles; but they are
barn and die in the bosom of the forest. --r•
Men toiling for a bare Subsistence, for the
coarsest, fare, poorest dwellings,- and meagre
comforts of civilized hilt, always set me
musing, and this veiled life of ours grows
•still more mysterious, and man, god-like,
immortal man, strangely like b mere ani
mal.
But on the broad lake, before a brisk
breeze, and bending to my oars, these
- thoughts soon left me. The tiny waves
rocked our cockle-shell of a boat like- a
plaything amid the bubbles, while a bush I
had erected in the centre made it fairly
roam through the water - as the swift blast
came down though the Mountain gorges.—
Far away to the southwest the golden sky
shone glorious, and over its illuminated
depths the fragmentaryclouds went trooping
ifs if joyou's with fife, while the !northwest,
towardS'which our frail: craft was driving,
ihe:heavens were black' as midnight, , aii%
The retiring storm-cloud, looked dark as
wrath, retreating thought still unconquered.
The sun was hastening to ridge of the sky
seeking mountains, and his departing beams
threw in still deeper contrast the under side
of the clouds. But still the waves kept
dancing in the light, as if determined not to
be frowned out of their frolic, and 'it was
with no little pleasure I watched the awful
looking, mass that covered the northern
heavens yield to the trldrieus, balmy, yet
swift careerin., breeze that came sweeping
the heart of the lake. I Was after Mitchell,
the Indian whom I had &rmerly i taken with
me, and who I was told was on a fishing.
excursion, with •his fa4r and sister and
some others, in Cold River. At length, just
as We were glancin. b awalfrotri,the head of
a beautiful island, Isaw i a boat coming to
wards us, impelled against the wind by the
steady strokes of a powerful rower. As it
shot near, I beheld the swarthy and benevo
lent face of Mitchell. Me lay on his oars
scarcely a mipptute to hear my salutation and
my propositiOn, when he, pointed to a deep
bay a mile distant, around which stretched
a white line of sand, and again bent to hi'
oars. I followed after, fcir I knew there, was
his camp, and soon after poi boats grated on
the smooth beach, rind Were sittir beside ti

But thole few barks, piled a„.mnst some

every one was at work meling spruce trees
