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.

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.
