imports The lake live on Our road for the irly part of the day led thro so thick and that an I were obliged to go in advance pioneers with their axes to cut away the obstructing shrubs and branches It was slow work at times quite discouraging but wo wore through with it last and then wo came into a country of altogether a different description Low prairies intersected with deep narrow streams like canals tho passage ol which cither by horn's or carriage was often a matter of delay and oven difficulty Several times in course of the forenoon the horses were to be tak from the carriage ard the latter pulled and pu across the deep narrow channels is host it might The banks of the Koshkonong were never welcomed with greater delight than by us when al length I upon our sight A ride of fiva or six miles through the beautiful oak ings brought us to M village a of neat bark wigwam with extensive fields on each of corn benns and quashes recently planted but already giving pri mise of a fine crop In front was the broad blue the shores of which to the south were open and marshy hut near the village and stretching far aw iy to the north were bordered bv tine lofty trees Tiie village was built but a short distance below tho point where the Rock river into the lake and d urine a conversation between our party and the tins at the village an made with them to take us across at a spot about halt a mile above After a short halt we again took up our line of march through the along the banks of the river A number of thj we had been among our own since leaving the pied out for the appointed place by water paddling their canoes of which they had selected the largest and strongest Arrived at the spot indicated we and the men commenced the task of and i unloading were soon placed in the and paddled across to the opposite bank Ncx the horses were swum them to -ome the carriage Two long wooden canees were see irely lashed together side by side and being of stiff width to admit tho carriage standing within t icm the passage was commenced Again and agai i the tottering barks would sway from side to side nd a cry or a shout would rise from our parry on s tore as the whole mass seemed about to plunge side vays in the water but it would presently recover i self and at length alter varions deviations the it finally reached tiie shore in now hoped that our troubles were u end and that we had nothing to do but to m and trot as fast us possible to Fort But no Haifa mile on was u formidable swamp c no great width it is true but with a depth of from two to three leet of mud and water It was a whether with the carriage we get throng i it at Several of the Indians accompanied u to this place partly to give us their aid and cou isel ami partly to enjoy the tail ol the spectacle a On reaching the swamp we were dispose i ti laugh at the formidable that aw only a of v ha covered tall dry made to tin We seemed rather hind rushes It is the ground looked a little but ti i seemed nothing to justify all tho hal had been excited Great was my surprise thei to see my husband who had been a few minutes nt return to our circle attired in his duck trousers intl without shoes

What is a Prairie We have frequently been requested by friends a distance to tell them what a prairie is H the best description we can give of it That which specially distinguishes Illinois am which has furnished her nom tic plume is her mag prairies She is appropriately called th State And what is a prairie The bes way and in fact the only way for strangers to forn any correct idea of tho prairies is to come and si them Perhaps a person of a distinct and imagination may gain some notion of a bj what follows Suppose while riding leisurely along in an space you observe a small elevation which thou rising gradually at every step appears higher than any beautiful swells that greet the cy on every side Yon reach the summit and look south Far away as the eye can reach not a tree or a shrub of any kind meets the For the first lew miles tho land lies in gentle undulations like the waves ol the ocean the waves becoming less and less distinct till far down on the southern horizon it meets and mingles with the deep sky You look north and precisely the same features form the landscape On either side to cast and west at the distance perhaps of a miles is a dark fringe bordering the landscape and lying in graceful folds along the horizon and by carefully scanning some of those nearest the eye you say at once that is a forest And now if it were this month of June and you could imagine spread all over these unshorn a carpet ot richest green embroidered with flowers ol every possible form and rarest and brightest gems in the vegetable kingdom waving and sparkling in the you would have the best idea we can give in guage of a prairie just as it came from the hand of Him whose wisdom and whose power can alone create a scene combining so many elements of the beautiful and
