Country Life In Canada Fifty Years Agopersonal Recollections And Reminiscences Of A Sexagenarian PDF Download

Excerpt from Life in Canada: Fifty Years Ago; Personal Recollections and Reminiscences of a Sexagenarian I have very little to say respecting the volume here with presented to the public. The principal contents appeared a short time ago in the Canadian Monthly and the Canadian Methodist Magazine. They were written at a time when my way seemed hedged around with insurmountable difficulties, and when almost any thing that could afford me a temporary respite from the mental anxieties that weighed me down, not only dur ing the day, but into the long hours of the night, would have been welcomed. Like most unfortunates, I met Mr. Worldly Wiseman from day to day. I always found him ready to point out the way I should go and what I should do, but I have no recollection that he ever got the breadth of a hair beyond that. One even ing I took up my pen and began jotting down a few memories of my boyhood. I think we are all fond of taking retrospective glances, and more particularly when life's pathway trends towards the end. The re lief I found while thus engaged was very soothing, and for the time I got altogether away from the present.
