Twelve days our lives, our fortunes and our sacred camp equipments have heroical- ly struggled log.-ther in the narrow cou- fines of four birch bark caDoes to accomplish the laborious ascent of fifty or sixty miles of the Muskoka river. Tbay have been days of toil and drudg- ery. Like ourselves, tha days have been toil-worn, toil-strung and toll-wasted,—self- explaining and expressive are those com- pound, qualifying adjectives, and precisely adapted to the circumstance? of our present situation. "With a tireless wing and a dauntless breast, Without a home or a hope of rest, Lite the Petrel wheeling over foam and spray Upward and onward we press our way. The clear sky has smiled upon us with a brilliant, cheerful October sun or frowned by turns with forbidding storms and angry clouds. The climate has alternated in com- fortable weather arid in excessive cold. Til<» Muskoka is a noble brook ; it is a wild, a romantic, gently flowing, log-obstructed tortuously winding rivulet. Amid what northern regions it coils the weird solitude ia its serpentine embrace no manner of man knoweth. "River—t'.y bed is rock, the wilderness thy home." So broad and grand and mag- nificent is its shaded pathway through the forest that when the challenge is sent across from towering pines upon opposite banks to join at mid stream th ir storm tossed crests in the solemn death crash that calls forth the echoes of its mighty solitudes ; the mirth and disdain of the wild and serene Muskoka for the variety and mockery of their effort are unbounded. A fallen tree upon its banks makes about as much show as the "fly upon the ele- phant's back" that we have heard about, though it may have kissed the breeze when standing at 200 feet or more above the wa- ters that reflected its symmetrical trunks. (Not the elephante—the tree, sir 1 the tree! YVelL we are in the bowels of the wilder- ness/the highest degree of literary culture, which I trust, for the sake of that freedom of immethodical disquisition so conducive to my peace and pleasure 1 may never at- tain, would dictate "heart" for "bowels." Yet is it not probable that the wilderness is just as conscious of the existence of[ its "bowels" as of its heart or stomach? Of its intestines as"f its viscera 1 Of its abdo- men as of its thorax? Of its digestive functions as of its great centre of life, mo- tion and vitality ? Avaunt ye critical: A truce to censure and the captious rigoij of your judgment if you will!

Here they are and here they will exist forever I In the recesses that nature has provided |J in all the majesty of grand reality and supe- rior to all sublimity of imagination! Hoary antiquity that was young in the tradition of the prophets, th;,t consumed a prattling childhood with Adam and Eve in Eden, rises up to confront us here in the full ter- ror of his dread, mysterious, superstitious presence. Let him rise 1 Let him continue to rise 1 I have no objection whatever]to iuterpose to the untrammeied "rise and progiess" too of antiquity in its own, un- heard of, savage and insufferable domain, and when our brave, sensible, weather worn, camp-smoked society of adventurers shall rise for its final departure I will help kindle one wrathful camp fire that shjul kiss the very tree-tops and fitly represent the keenness and the fullness of my joy « the completion of this my fourth, last and best carousal in the wilds of Muskoka. j I say carousal because I wish to expresssotitie- thing. Excursion sounds tame in compari- son with carousal. Say p-u m p-kins 10 tpe scholars in school where critical acumen [is essential, but when felicitating among plain, toiling industrious farmers punkifis out and out sounds as well. 1 iNature does not give us northern tights or soft, serene effulgnoe of the milky way when the thundei crash Ita the terrific shower—it is lightning that we get then. Carousal means something, perhaps it is too strong a term, but I shall not unduly afflict my soul on that account. The columns ol the W H I G have heralded in other seasons the wonders of the Mus- koka in its exhaustless resources of game and fish. In these special objects of our tour, our success has been unusual, remark- able, exceeding, in the trite language of a simile hitherto unused, all expectation. It ia at the expense of great mental anguish and sacrifice of feeling that fear at need- less repetition of such conquests as were portrayed so vividly and with such discrim- inating accuracy a year ago, compels me to look beyond these matters nearest my heart and sacred to my feelings for less exhilar- ating themes for composition. But there are Sampson and Cole, and mayhap others too who will demand at least a few details of our experience in huntiug and fishing, our success with rod and rifle. They will at least clamor for a "schmell of the uiug" if not a "dhrink of the cider." We have had luck, the great guardian deity and patron divinity of game and fish, pan, Iws smiled upon us. We have reveled and exulted in the manly vocations of hunt- ing and flshine as wildly, as extravagantly, as rapturously as becomes victors in labo- rious and distressing triumphs. Sampson knows how it is, he has stood shoulder to shoulder with me amid just such trials as these, on this very spot too. I have known him to perform a manly part in bringing a "buck" to bay, and afterwards acquit him- self most honoraoly when its jucy sirloins graced the Appetizing fare of our mid-day repast. It is pleasant to remember that he saved our small party of nine wilderness sojourners from the perils of threatening starvation by the capture of a splendid buck at Round Lake, in,Muskoka, four years ago this very autumn. I preceded my party, (composed of Rev. Dr. Todd and Dr. Frank Paddock, of Pittsfield, and Rev. Charles Hill of Whitehall) to Muskoka a sin- gle week. I awaited their arrival at Spar- row Lake. Oh! the overwhelming, heart- felt triumphs that delighted the halcyon days and hours of my solitary camp while sojourning at "Sparrow." That great feeding aod spawning grcfund of the princely muskanonge ! * In a single day the troll allnred eighteen of these tenants of Sparrow lake, varying in weight from two pounds to thirty-five or forty pounds. Up- on the 18th of October our whole party met and proceeded directly north to Trading lake via south branch Muskoka river. From Muskoka lake to Trading lake are thirty miles of river travel. Thirty m.iles of wading shallows! Ihirty miles of tront fishing, dipping the "red," "dark red" and "partidge wing" hockles, the "black Pal- mer," "black gnat" and "red ibis" in the purling rifts! Thirty miles wherein the appe- tites of five muscular guides with our party of four wilderness tourists have conceded the most substantial triumph to the angling skill of the Rev. Mr. Hill, Dr. Paddock and "Achilles" in an overwhelming, luxurious satiety of speckled trout! Miles that abound in every fur bearing animal of these wilderness waters ! Dr. Paddock had a line view of a noble beaver contemplating the scurvy apparition of our passing fleet upon the river bank as we ascended. The Doc- tor looked at the beaver and the beav*er fixed his scrutinizing vision upon the Doctor. * Terrible suspensa ! Fearful and awful the responsibility to either of terminating the remarkable exhibition ! The beaver dissolved the interesting in- terview by moving deliberately down to- ward the river where his curiosity was quite sated. For a beaver it was a bold act —a prodigy of valor! . It being the Doc- tor's first sight of a live beaver of coursa the wrapt spirit of his meditations wander- ed not away from the object ol hfs profound, mysterious admiration to a vile, ill-man- nered, dirty powdered, lead shotted, brass- capped fire /.rm, that he held with all a surgeon's recklessness in his two hands, hitherto unstained v.ith the gore of such unbled patients as beaver, bear or wolves. We expect on our descent of the stream that the beaver will resent our intrusion by an attack upon our combined forces. We have' already determined upon a resolute resistance. We have duly considered the probabilities of success. " Victory belong- eth to the vigilant tlm active and the brave!" "Let him cornel I repeat it sir, let him come!" saith the doctor. We are having much rain and terrific winds the present week. Towering pines and massive maples, two, four and often six, simultaneously are falling about our camp. We have felled many near us to ensure our own safety as well as we could and yet some days and nights the crashing the appalling sound of many gigantic forest trees falling and breaking close to our tents strikes terror to our v.-ry souls. Cowardly, pusillanimous man ! A tem- pest in the wilderness has sometning in it of grandeur and sublimity but it will teach poor, dependent untutored manhood its fears of exposure to danger and want ot courage to meet ir. I must be excused fram resenting when I hear the trees spok- en of as " grand o!d aentine.s !" We have done watching! W e have performed sen- try duty over those self same " sentinels of the forests." Aye I and that two from be- ginning to end ot this October. The trees have been on a grand old bender through- out. Sentinels indeed I Avaunt, such unmean- ing platituder ! ACHILLES.

T H E preparations at the Academy of Music in New York exceed in gorgeousness' th*e wildest dream of the projectors. At that temple of the Music there will be three scenic decorations—one hanging down over the tent whjch is to enclose the stage and one in front of each tier of proscenium boxes. The central scene will represent the Genius of Russia, clad in blue tunic, •fellow robe, trimmed with fur and lined with ermine, Turkish shoes and pantaloons, and turban-like hat, heavily studded with jewels. This figure holds a sceptre in Its left hand, and with the right clasps the hand of the Goddess of American liberty, clad i n light blue and partially draped with the national colors. The decoration on the rightwill represent the Czar Nicholas free- ing the serfs, while that on the left will commemorate the emancipation by Pr.sl- dent Lincoln. The entire stage will be en- closed with a tent, supported by richly or- namented columns, each bearing a shield of some European power. From this pa- villion a series of three terraces, crowned with urns of flowers and cupids holding chandeliers, will lead to the gardens, ap- parently constituting the background. The whole will be most brilliantly illumtnated. A minature Moorish temple will be erected over the three center boxes of the Grand Dnke's tier, and over his especial box, be - tween the interlaced flags or Russia and America will be displayed the Imperial shield, bearing the double-headed eagle The foregoing are a few of the delightful designs for which the fashionable world is indebted to Mr. Bierstaflt's glowing imag- ination. TREASURER SPINNER seems to have thought it worth while to conir»dict, in ma annual report, the stories relative to war- rants alleged to have been made out at the Treasury for his benefit. These and the tales for" credulous marines ebout the crim- inal wrecking of a California steamer^wi h Government bonds on board are shown to be the baseless falsehoods which everybody sucposed them to be. Perhaps It to j ft* as we'll to dismiss the unjust fabrications into the limbo of exploded frauds, but the Treas- urer himself stands above vindication.

" W E get the most disagreeaple accounts of the famine in Persia. It is said that can- nibalism is as common among the starving inhabitants as pork-eating in New York. This is very sad. and shows either a very low state of Persian morality or a conspicu- ous lack of Persian ingenuity. They ought to manage it as the conscientious Indians do. In time of famine these gentle crea- tures never disgrace themselves by feasting upon each otber: they permit heir dope to d«f oar the dead, and then they eat the dogs. _ _ _ _ _ _ ^ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A N EXCHANGE states that a lady resid- ing in Patterson, Putnam county, received through that postoffl.ee, a few weeks ago, a small package neatly and securely sealed.
