I have attended church-sarvice in the garrisons, and tried hard, as becomes a true soldier, to join in the prayers; for, though no enlisted sarvant of the king, I fight his battles and sarve his cause, and so I have endeavored to worship garrison-fashion, but never could raise within me the solemn feelings and true affection that I feel when alone with God in the forest.
Says he, `Bryan, will ye go? Says I, `Av coorse; 'an 'shure enough I wint, an' got over the say to 'Meriky. But I could niver settle down, so, wan way or another, I came at last to Montreal and jined the Company; an' afther knockin' about in the Columbia and Mackenzie's River for some years, I was sint to Moose, an' here I am, Losh, yer sarvant to command."

"Granny, do you know who she is? I'm tired of her sick of her." "You know enough about her to satisfy you. Wasn't she a beautiful creature when Lady S tuck her into the family, an' reared her till she was fit to wait upon herself. Warn't you then sarvant to the ould lord, an' didn't I make her marry you, something against her will, too; but she did it to plase me.

"Of coorse, in a country o' this kind," replied Graddy, "it's difficult, I might a'most say unpossible, to be a man's sarvant without bein' his companion likewise." "But here is a great difficulty at the outset, Joe. I have not yet made up my mind what course to pursue."
