THE LITTLE FEET. Once, when June-time roses came, In cur garden blooming sweet,
I one morning in the mould Found the prints of little feet.
Two small feet which deftly trod Over beds of Mignionette,
All across the Violets blue, And where Peonies were set—
None of these had staid the pair, In their light uncertain treed, Till they reached a blooming rose, Fair as Li!y’s own dear head.
There the little feet were stayed— ‘Tip-toe prints were left behind, Where she gathered one bright bud,
Like her own pure opening mind.
Then my heart grew fond to trace All the prints of those dear feet,—
And my fancy saw the child, Golden-haired and winsome sweet.
These small prints upon the carth Seemed a promise to me given,
That my little one should not Over soon be called to heaven.
She should walk with maiden grace, — Be a woman in bright bowers,— And her noble feet should walk Over thorns, to find the flowers.
Tears were gushing to my eyes— Blessings pouring from my heart, And my lips unconscious cried, ‘© Oh, my child, how dear thou art!’
Years have come and passed away ,— June-time roses as of yore bless the summer with their bloom, But the pretty feet no more
Leave their prints upon the earth ;— My two hands the little feet
Bound together still and cold, Underneath the winding-shect.

Then T close my eyes with tears And aguin the picture trace, | Of the summer long ago, i Gladder made by Lily's face. And I watch the little feet, Allalong the darksome : road,— Down the valley to the gate Of the Paradise of God.

You imay travel wany a day and through many’a land, without seeing a wilder figure than my companion to the Barrens. .
Anything equal to the cold of that morning I had never felt. There was a driving, cutting wind with it, which no amount of blanket-coats or buffalo-robes could resist ; and we, the three human members of the expedition, were glad to pack ourselves and the inanimate of our company into as close a mass as we could on the bottom of the sled, which was simply a long flat ‘wooden tray, mounted on a pair of clumsy- -wooden skates or runners. For myself. [ squeezed my feet under the brandy-pitcher, as the euly thing unlikel: to freeze, and found the thick woollen vizor of my cap utterly inadequate to prevent a frozen faeo, till itself froze into e hard consistency impervious to wind, and proved that even ice can sometimes be productive of warmth. Letter, however, for this end than fanuel or fur, or even ice was Will Doherty’s never-ceasing stock of songs and anecdotes, and hearty good humour; and the crisp morning air of the woods rang with our duet of music and Jaughter as we plenapes the heavy drifts—a duet to which the sbrill jingling
f the sled-bells and the dull groaning of the runners through their furrows, added a not unp!casant bass and treble obligato, but which was scldom augmented into a trio by a sound from Joc, who has with the name dropped the * wild-goose ”’ propene sities, and is now the most taciturn of his tacitura
race, gifted with a stoicism which refused to relax into a seatle at our most stirring joke, or into more than three pithy words, with at least a semicoln between cack, in auswer to our wiost personal appeal.
fier narrowly escaping immersion in crossing a river on oe rotten with the snow, we arrive about noon at the hut of the last settler 10 our direction, whose fold is oftener visited by bears than his hut by man, and who is proportionately
‘xcited at our approach. Tere the road ends; if indeed an opening through the trees along which we have journeyed 50
far —freer, it is true, from fallen timber aud such obstructions from the rest of the forest, but covered with unbeaten snow varying from two to five or six fect in de pth,-—can be digni- fied with the name of rond. Wil Dob erty is to leave us
‘
now ; so Joe produces our stores, and we give him a parting foast, ent short by his hurry to retura to meet his sweetheart
ata ball with which the choice spirits of Frederiction are purposing to welcome in the New Year; and even Joe is seduced into something which may be construed into a smile as we drink the last of many stirrup- nee tO so inspiring a toast as this information affords us; while Will himself, ia language which shows that, whatever may be his ideas of the marriage oath in particular, he has at least studicd the nature
and variety of oaths in genoral—voms bis determination this very night to take my advice and the opportunity of popping the question.
Lt was a wonderful change from the laughter and noise of Will's de parture to the heavy, silent tramp through the lonely bush, which formed the continuation of our ; journey. Joe bad transferred all our stores toa “ treboggin,” which is to a sled what a wheelbarrow is to a wagon, and was hauling them rad him ou the snow; while I marohen first, to * make tracks ” or beat down the snow wiih my snoW-skoes, s0.as to give an easier furrow to the treboggin.
