' Game ceased to be plenty in Maine not that the State was becoming much more thickly settled, but strangers would come from far and near to hunt it. The timber business, too, got bad, for timber fell to one half its former price ; and as I had no folks remaining of my own blood, I made up my mind to come out West, where I had heard that deer, and even buffalo, were to be had for the seeking. 'The rich often think that, in comparison with themselves, the poor and unlettered have no delicacy FOR...T LEAVENWORTH. 139 of feelings, that poverty blunts the finer sentiments, and that ignorance produces selfish and narrow preju- dices. I have had opportunities of forming a dif- ferent judgment. The morning I bid adieu to the old shanty the common slab-shed in which I was born, where my mother lived, and where the old man had taught me to handle the axe and rifle I felt like a villain that had no right to live for deserting the old homestead. When I looked up at the fa- miliar little cedar-bird singing his morning song from the top of a spruce that grew against our gable, the tears ran down my cheeks ; but I knew it was for the best, and, with the exception of a parting glance as I commenced to dip beneath the brow of a hill that would soon hide all from sight, I never turned round till many a long mile lay between me and my birth- place.
