Boy reader, you have heard of the Hudson's Bay Company? Ten to one, you have worn a piece of fur, which it has provided for you; if not, your pretty little sister has-in her muff, or her boa, or as a trimming for her winter dress. Would you like to know something of the country whence come these furs?-of the animals whose backs have been stripped to obtain them? As I feel certain that you and I are old friends, I make bold to answer for you-yes. Come, then let us journey together to the "Fur Countries;" let us cross them from south to north.
