The fierce but sagacious brutes would have discovered us one by one, and de, stroyed us in detail. “They must be met and fought!” that was the word ; and we resolved to carry it into execution. There weie about a dozen ol us who “stood up to it”—all the the Delawares and Shawneis, wit 1 Garey and the mountain men. We kept firing at the bears as thev ran along the ledges in thei>- ‘zig'zag descent, but our rifies were out of order, our fingers were numb ed with cold, and our nerves weak ened with hunger. Our bullets drew blood from the hideous brutes, yet not a shot proved deadly. It only stung them into fiercer rage. It was a fearful moment when the last shot was fired, and still not an enemy the less. Wy flung an ay the o-uns, and, clutching the hatch ets and hunting knives, silentlv awaited our grizzly foes. We had taken our stand close to the rock. It was our design to have the first blow, as the animals, for the most part, came stern foremost down the ciirf. In this we were disappointed. On reaching a ledge some ten feet from the* platform, the foremost bear halted, and see ing onr position, hesitated to de* scend. The next moment, his com panions, maddened with wounds, came tumbling down upon the same ledge, and with fierce growls, the five huge bodies were precipi tated Into our midst. Then came the desperate struggle, which I cannot describe the shouts of the hunters, the wilder yells of our Indian allies, the hoarse wor rying of the bears, the ringing toma hawks from skulls like flint, the deep dull “thud” of the stabbing- knife, and now and then a groan, as the crescent claw tore up the clinging muscle. 0 God ! it was a fearful scene ! Over the platform bears and men went rolling and struggling in the wild battle of life and death— through the trees, and into the deep drift, staining the snow with their mingled blood! llcrc, two or three men were engaged with a single foe—there, some brave hun- terstood battling alone. Several were sprawling upon the ground. Every moment the bears were .les sening the number of their assail ants • i I had been struck down at the commencement of the struggle. On regaining my feet, I saw the animal that had felled me hugging the prostrate body of a man ! It was Gode. I leaned over- the bear, clutching its shaggy skin. I did this to steady myself. I was weak and dizzy—so were we fill. I struck with all my force, stabbing the animal on the ribs. Letting go the Frenchman, the bear turned suddenly, and reared upon me. I endeavored to avoid the encounter, and ran backward, fending him of with my knife. All at once I came against a snow-drift, and fell over on my back. Next moment the heavy body was precipitated upon, me, the sharp clays pierced deep into my shoulder. I inhaled the mon ster’s foetid breath ; and striking wildly with my right arm, still - free, we rolled over and over in the snow. I \vas blinded by the dry drift.

On one occasion, a bear was seen to swim cautiously to a rough piece of ice, on which two female wal ruses were lying asleep with then- cubs. The wily animal crept up some hummocks behind the party ond with the help of his lore feet loosened a large block of ice ; this, with the help of his uose and paws, he rolled and carried till immedi ately over the heads of the sleepers, when lie let it fall on one of the old animals, which was instantly The other walrus, with its cubs, rolled into the water,, but the vounger one ol the stricken fe males remained .in its dam ; upon these helpless creatures the bear leaped down, and thus completed the destruction of the two animals which it would not have ventured to attack openly. The s tratagems practised, in tak- in°- large seals aie much less to be admired. These creatures are re markably timid, and for that reason always lie to bask or sleep on the verv edge cf the pieces ot floating ice, so that on the slightest alarm they cau, by one roll, tumble them selves into* their favorite element; They are exceedingly restless, con stantly moving their heads from -side to side, aiid sleeping by werv short naps. As-with all wild crea tures, they turn their attention to the direction ot the wind, as if ex pecting danger from that quarter.— The bear, on seeing his intended pre.v, gets quietly into' the water, and-swims till he is leeward of him, from whence, by frequent short dives, he silently makes his op tion for him, begins to regard her as the one who is destined to be the mistress of his desires Finally he prays his father .And mother to per mit him to espouse her.

I rose to my feet, and rubbing the snow out of my eyes, looked around, I could see no one. I was in a deep hollow made by our struggles, but I was alone! The snow all around me was dyed to a crimson ; but what had become of my terrible antagonist ? Who had rescued me from his dead ly embiace? I staggered forward to the open ground. Here a new scene met my gaze—a strange looking man was running across the" platform with a huge firebrand, the bole of «, burning pine tree, which he wav ed in the air. He was chasing one of the bears, that, growling with rage and pain, was making every effort to reach the cliffs.

A Jealous Wife. An anecdote is related of a wife who was very jealous of her hus band, who was a worthy member of the masons. One evening a bun dle came to the house for him, and labled “Private.” Of course this was sufficient for female curiosity, and therefore she indulged in an inspection—horrors of horrors blankets, baby’s linen, birds eye, &e., greeted her astonished eyesight, and dreams of two families fl ated through her brain. The husband soon came in, and after tea, when his wife discovered in his eye the treachery of "his conduct, as she supposed, he took the bundle and went out—but not alone for the jealous wife was on his track. I he faithless husband little imagined that she, who supposed herself so foully wronged, was hovering after him. He stopped at the house of a friend, who also joined him, carry ing a similar bundle. The wife became doubly excited, for the prospect of having a companion in misery did not impress ner with the idea of a division .of her grief, but only an addition to it. She followed closely, and soon they halted befor# a small tenement pU loir made proposals of marriage. M. Beauplan says:— Here then, contrary to the cus tom of all other countries, may be seen young girls making love to young men, and a superstition, very prevalent among them and careful ly-observed, causes them scarcely ever to miss their Object, and in deed, renders them more sure of success than the men would - be, should the latter attempt the woo ing. They proceed somewhat atte*r the following maimer:— The maiden-goes to the house of the-father of the young man whom slie loves, when she thinks the fam ilyare all together, and says, cfn entering, yiornu'gabcg, which means, God bless you Sue pays her com pliments to him who has made so great an impression upon her heort, and tells him she things lie will know how to govern and love his wife. “Thy noble qualities, f ” she continues, “have led me to pray thee very humbly to accept me. for thy wife.” She then asks the fath er and mother to consent to the marriage,. .If she receives a refusal or gome, excuse, as that he is too young and not yet ready to marry, she answers that she will not depart until he has espoused her.
