(From the Argosy.) I once saw the Ladder of Fame, It stood o’er a ditch full of slime, At its foot were the halt and the lame, And strong men were striving to climb, And all eyes were fixed upon one, Whose triumph shone out in his face i, And they spoke ofthe deeds he had done, And he still appeared rising apace. But his triumph soon changed into doubt, And he looked roundamazed and perplele For a. stave of the ladder was out, And he could’nt reach up to the next. So he sought inspiration from Love; I Scarecly could catch what he said, When “a brother,” who stood just above, Turned and struck him a blow on the At this there arose a loud cry, [head And two ill looking men.Jonq|s and Brown Who stood on the ladder close by, Endeavoured to hustle him dOWn. But-his grasp was so stubborn and tight, That his knuckles were Wrapped all in vain, And he sent out his feet left and, right | Till his enemies writhed With lheir péfin. Then one cried aloud, “It were base For the man to be driven to yieldl Let us succor his s )rrowful case.” But alas! all in vain he appealed“ For the people cried, “ Give it him Brown! And pelted ,th‘evpoor man .with stones, And scoffed at his hopes of renown, H And cheered 0n the efforts of Jones. And Brown seized him fasthy the feet, ‘ And Jones said, “ We'll teach him who‘s who!” i V- ‘ V _ And “ the brother ” proclaimed him a cheat, While the iittle boys shouted “ buzoo I” And the wisacros seeing him prest.

And thev said that the man for the time Was Robinsonâ€"(that was his name), A m'm who was certain to climh To the top of the Ladder of Fame 1 Then Robinson took off his hat. And bowed with his hand on his breast; And the people cheered loudly at that, And Brown and Jones cheered with the rest. Then lots of folks helped him along, And {wily he sped on his wav; And “the brother ” confessed him wron: While the little hoys shouted “ Hooray I” And the wisacres looked very wise.

After residing nearly a year in, one of the most distant posts of the No‘i‘th-wfe's't Company, and conduct- ing tlje fur trade there, I began to look forward to my return to Mon- treal.

Weie accompanied by a thicker shower of sleety rain, which gradtinlly be- game so dense that l could not dis- éern the share. I strained my eyes to catch a. glance of éotfie living object, but a. dreary arid motionless eranse strecned drouhd me on every side, and the appalling lsilence that prevailed was some- ttimcs interrupted by the receding cries of the wounded bird. All nature seemed to be awaiting some terrible event. I listgned id fearlnl §dspens€*, thoughl knew not what Onr post was situated upon the banks of a small lake. about sixteen miles broad. The lake discharged itself by means of a river into an- other ofmnch greater dimensions, and thick forests c‘évered every 1621“ ofthe neighboring country. One afternoon I took my gun, and strolled out in search of .game. Though it was now the beginlni‘n? of spring, the lake was still frozen Completely across, the cold of' pre- ceding winter having been vcr in- tense. I solén fell in with a flock of wild ducks, but before I could get a shot at them, they began to fly towards the middle of the lake; however, I followed them fearlessly, over the ice, in the expectation that they would soon alight. The weather was mild. though rather; blowy. Detached black clouds mov‘ed rapidly along“ the face ufthc Heat‘ven in imrr‘terise masses, and the sun blazed forth in un obscured splendour one moment ahd was completely shrouded from the eye the next.

It was evident that a thaw had ralv ready commenced, and as 1 Well knew with what rapidity the ice broke up when once affected by a change of temperature, I became alive to all the dangers of my situa- tion, and almost shuddered at the thought of moving from the spot on which ‘I stood. I expected to hear. I soon distin- guished a distant thundering notse,' which gradually becamé stronger, and appearedto amiroach the place Where I stood.

The trembled ti‘enetith my feet? and the next moment it was dis‘united by a vast chasm, which opened itself within a few yards of me.‘ The water of the lake ‘ rushed upwards through the gap with foaming fury. and began to floo’d the surlace all around. _ l V I started bacltwe‘rdstand ran, as l conceived, toward§ the shore. but my prowess was; soon, fst'opp’ed by one ofthose weak parts of ice called air-holes. While walla ing cautiously round it, my mind grew somewhat composed, and I resolved notto walk any [far- t'her untill had fixed 11an some way oi regulating my course -; but- [‘found this to be itnpoesible.; l vainly endeavoured to discern land and the moaning ol the wind among the distant forests alone indicated The storm increasifii in violence and at intervals the sound ofthe ice b‘reakintz up rolled upon my ear like distant thunder, and seemed to mutter appalling threats. Alarm and fatigue made me dizzy, and I threw down my gun and rushed for- ward in the face of the drifting showers, which was now so thick as to eflect my respiration. I soon lost all sense ‘of fear,_ and began to feel a sort of frantic delight in strug- gling against the careering blasts. [ hurried on, sometimes running along the brink of acircular open- ing in the ice, and sometimes leap- ing across frightful chasmsâ€"all the while unconscious of having any object in view. The ice every- where creaked under thy feet, and I knew that death 'awaited me, whether I lied away or remained on the same spot. I felt as one would do, ifforced by some persecuting fiend to range over the surface of a black and shoreless ocean; and aware. that whenever his tormentor withdrew his sustaining b'o'weifhhe would sink down and he suffocated among the billows that struggled beneath hiui., ; " Pa- We .17 . t ‘ At last night came on, and, ex- hausted by fatigue and mental ex- citement,l wrapped mvself in my cloak, and lay down upon the ice. lt was. so dark that I could not have moved one step without runâ€" ning the risk of falling into the lake. I almost wished that the drowsiness produced. byv intense cold would begin to affect me ; but I did not feel in the slightest degree chilled, and the temperature of the air was in reality above freezing. I had lain only a few minutes when I heard the howl ofa wolf. The sound was indescribany delightful to my ear, and I started up with the intention ofhastening to the spot from whence it seemed to proceed ; hut, hopeless as my situation then was, my Ileart shrunk within me when I contemplated the dangers l wouldenbouhter in making such an attempt. ‘ ._ My courage failed, and l resdméd thyJ former p0siti0n, and listenEd to the undulations ,ol the water as they‘ undermined and beat against the lower part of the ice on which I lav. .w. l t . ,5Alégut midnight, the storm ceased arid iiiost the of clouds gradually forsook the sky, whi'e the rising moon dispelled the darkness that had previovsly prevailed.
