That was in times past. The fur bearing animals are still found near it, but not in such numbers as of yore; and the trade has sought other centres of activity, and other depots, further off in the great wilderness of Prince Rupert's Land. Still the town of P— has not been deserted. A considerable population yet remains in it, chiefly descendants of the ancient trappers, voyageurs and eourcurs du bois; while the axo of the colonist, echoing in woods where once was heard only the crack of the rifle, has brought a new era of prosperity to the place. Above and below it, on the river’s honk, large cleaaiiigs have been made, and hand some houses are seen, reflecting their images iu the water. 1 A mile below the town, and just be fore the stream mingles its waters with those of the Ottawa, it makes a leap over a bar of rock that runs transverse ly to its course—forming a beautiful waterfall of some forty or fifty feet' fa* height. Although the stream itself is of inconsiderable size- 1 that is, for Can ada—the rocky ridge, thus damming it up, gives it a breadth of two or three hundred yards, which is continued up to the town, and for some distance be yond.

The two skaters who tad ttas unex pectedly mudotheir appearance, at once became the object of universal atten tion, and an admiring crowd soon col lected around them. Observing this, and not-appearing to like such a public exhibition, the young lady whispered some wotds in the ear of her companion; who, suddenly wheeling, so as to face down the river, and carrying, her along with him, by a few forcible strikes shot clear of tbe crowd, and skated rapidly away. A murmur of disappointment fol lowed their departure; while glances of something like disapproval were cast after them, as they glided off under the gleaming firelight. The villagers ap peared to think they bad been unfairly dealt with, to be thus cheated of a spectacle. They, are vexed at our leaving them,” remarked the young gentleman, ns he swept along by tbe side of his beautiful companion, her band held in his. “ For What reason?” she innocently asked. “ They don’t often see such an compli8hed skater as yoo, Kate.” “ As yourself, yon mean, Frank. It was your performances they so much admired; and now I think of it, it wasn’t very graceful in me to have been smooth as a sleeping lake; so that dur ing the long Canadian winter the ice formed upon it is of the very best qual ity for skating. ! As a large proportion of the inhab itants of ? are of French origin— habitant, in short,—it need not be told that they are fond of cheerful amuse ments, and take full advantage of the pastime thus ofibred them.

Frank knew to he a rival—like himself a suitor for the hand of Miss Mackenzie. This man had made his appearance in the neighborhood, some three months before; coming no one knew whence. In fiict, there was nothing kndwnof Ma except his nanie; and this might have been an assumed one. -He put npi at the principal hotel of tho village; appeared to have money, and to be a person of good education. Was it he who had joined Miss Mackenzie npon the ice, and carried her away with him ? It could be no other; for Scott now remembered having heard the ring of his skates behind, m»- they were coming op the river from the place where fit Chur tad been aeon, and where shortly after they had,passed him. The first thought of the lover was one of a most painful nature. It was, in fiict, the bitterest pang of jealousy. The whole thing had been pre-arrang ed, and she had willingly gone away with St. Clair, who, though a stranger to others, might be better known to tanridfmiliT isfj ai ki-tstai Scott-did not need to ask thia quea- tiod.

Contests are often carried on between them as to who can perform the most difficult feats, ami cut the most compli cated figures; and excellence in the pastime—in Canada truly national—is held in high estimation. About Christmas times these contests arc especially common, and full of ex citing interest; for in Canada, as in all Christian lands, this is the season 6f most merfimeiit. Fortunate it is for the villagers of I’ when the ice dur ing the last days of December is in good condition; that is, free from snow. If not, however, they will not be baulk ed of their sport. A band of volunteer sweepers, armed with birchen brooms, will soon clear up space enough for this; and if the white mantle be too deep and heavy for brooms, horses and the snow-plough will be employed in its removal. ' i • ■« j On a Christmas eye some few years ago, the villagers of P were out in' force upon the. ice. This was in pert feet condition—dear as plate glass.— Not a smirch of snow could be seen,an the long reach of river extending bdow the town; although a white mantle covered the earth on either bank, and even the dark leaves ot tho hemlocks, aud the sprawling fronds of the sprue®, types, were loaded with enow flake. On this Christmas eve King Winter seemed to have taken esspedal delight ip spreading a table, so attractive-as-to draw from out their houses nearly the whole population of P ■« Men, women and children had assembled .the river ice to participate in the do- lightful sport of stating, W to the evolutions of the skaters. . It was, in truth 0 a grand sight to ob serve hundreds of both sexes dressed in various costumes, and gliding rapid ly over the smooth trausluscent surface; while shouts aud peals of laughter rang mellow and merry on the still evening air. The low winter sun had already sunk behind the hemlock clad hills, and a bonfire, kindled on the ice, sent up the flames, that cast their red glare far along the river. From the quiet vil lage nestled near its Bank tho light glistened away to the frosted forest on pose yon go bock, and show them 4 lit tle more of-your skill. Do, Frank! I can atny hero till yon return.” ; v , Anything to please you, my deftr *0hm| d*» c* j ai And so saying, tho young: mail ife, leased tho tiny*gkncd hand e£ his ctanning partner; and, aftera few long shots, was once more in the midst of the villagers, gratifying dm with the display so much desired. Mto*-' thta fve utaotee wa* thus spent, daring whieft tune tko—lrwn- plished stater was repeatedly ebeered, and greeted with complimentary re marks. Then, bethinking hjmsdf of the fair creature he had left waiting alone in the oold, he was about to break Off, when the pleased spectators en treated him to remain a moment long er, and once more show them a figure that had specially-elicited applause. He consented; repeated the figure called for; and then resisting all fur ther appeals, with one grand stroke he glided out from among the people, and off toward the spot where he had left the young lady on the ice. On nearing the place, he saw that she was not there, or anywhere in sight! Where could she have gone? It occurred to him that, while be was entertaining tbe villagers, she might also have rejoined them, .and be come one of the spectators. With all speed he stated hade again, and quartered tbe crowd—in every di rection scanning the faces and figures by the red firelight. But among them be saw neither fea tures nor form bearing the slightest resemblance to those of the beautiful Kate Mackenzie. So,” soliloquised ho, '* $he’s play ing a little trick, to surprise me. Sbe has slipped in under the river-bank and while I am rushiag to and fro in search of her, she is no doubt standing in the shadow of a hemlock, aud quiet ly laughing at me.” Yielding to this conjeoturg, b&S 1 ? 0 * more plied bis skates, and shot rapidly back down the river—keeping doee alongside the bank, and scanning every spot overshadowed by the dark fronds of the hemlocks. But he saw no one thore, either, in the moqnlight or shadow j nor there any mark made by skates upon tho inshore ice. . It now occurred to him, that he might discover where she ^ _ upon the track of her skates and fol lowing it up. With this intent he hastened back to the spotwliere he had Baite* mmd . v?.£ On reach in^ it^ col through his frame, as ifthebloodhad suddenly become frozen in his veins. In addition to the sets of skate tracks made b^himsetf i lady in their passage up *pd,dqwn, be now saw a third, whose deep scores ber.'

It passed like a spasm; another n«trly as paipflil tak ing its place. He reralled a rumour, that had been for some the neighborhood—of a strangeness ob* sepred'in' the behaviour of St. Clair, that bad caused doubts of hts sanity. And more forcibly came back to Frank Scott’s mind, what he had heard that very morning; how Hie Frenchman had presented himself at the house of Miss Mackenzie’s father, ’ proposed marriage to her; and, when refused, tad acted in such a strange uttering wild speeches and threats against the lifo of the yui’ng lady:— that it had been necessary to nse force in removing him from the premises. Could this be the explanation of her disappearance ? Was the man in real ity a maniac ? Was he now in the act of carrying out the menace he had made—some terrible deed of vengeance —under the wild promptings of insan ity? -'i .:«frwz „ a The thoughts came quick—for this wftk aqries of; corpse turn a did not oe- copy tea seconds of time—ynd with tbe tat of them "Frank Scott threw all his. strength into a propulsive effort, byteriinChirtch.and'at the ageoftix Wi the son- uhiteff with : the sSfme <&dkh;'‘ajtf'*m4 4bspec^ 4'of Ihat'bbd^iit thff'tirne of hw flthfeFs death.
