A NI HT WTJI WOLVES.
It was aUouC tfifiy-fivo ( years ago tlmt
ay father , then a noted civil t'ngineer ,
vas chosen to survey n load between
Detroit nnd Landing. It waa literally
work in the wilderness. My futher , who
wus a domestic man , became tired nfte *
i few months of his loneliness , nnd re
solved to hnvo his wife mid childrea
with him.
He took a furlough , cnmo on to Balti
more , and started back with us in two
lays , giving my mother but little time
or preparation. But ho was a , driving ,
lot-tempered , ns well as an nflectionnto
man , and never felt tlmt any obstacle
\nsof sufficient importance to aland in
he way of any whim or wish of his own.
.Such iieiy energy is a useful quality ,
jo doubt , but when carried to the ex-
reme , us in my father's case , is likely to
jring discomfort , and possibly misery ,
nto business relations nnd the homo
circle.
It was curly in December when wo np-
jroached the end of cur journey , having
nit Unity miles to make before i caching
The weatherwas bitterly cold , and the
311 o\v lay deep upon the ground. A ; the
'ast village in which we stopped my
nether desired to remain a day or two.
hat the children might rest. There was
.hreo of us , Mury , nged nine , myself a
) ig boy of six , and the baby , ecaiccly
vvo mouths old.
But my fattier conscious of no fatigue
.liinself , could not enter into the feelings
of weak children.
Nonsense , Jane ! ho said ; after thjp

) rjj , | . dres and a good supper to wel-
oiuo you.
My mother made no further objection ,
; nd we continued our journey. The
tago lumbered heavily through the
now , nnd it was nealy dark when wo
topped for supper nt au inn , still nearly
ifteen milesdistant from Lansing.
When supper was over , my mother
erself with the children nt the
blazing fire , when my father's voice was
Heard outside blustering angrily.
Why hnvo the horses been put nwny *
10 shoaled .o the landlord.
I did no * suppose it possible for you to

_ i. .o our anger for your slaves , Col
onel , fin id the landlord , coolly. ThcM
s nothing to hinder you , but thcr.js
nueli to hinder n delicate woman r. 'd
hildron. It's not likely you'll reach
rinsing nntil morning , the snow is BO

My mother went out and called , softly ,
'liarlcs , lot me speak to you n moment1.

Jharles , c.innot we stay hero n1 ! iiihtV ;
am so tilednnd the childion let UH

You always wcioaluzy little thing ,
Milling her playfully by the car. Go ;
Diindle up I We'll bo oU in ten minutes ,

Colonel ! The landlord beckoned him
side. I did not wish to apeak of it be-
ore Mrs. McLurc.but the roads between
lero nnd Ionising Imvo beeu infested
vilh wolves nil winter.
Bah ! wretched little cnyotcsi Yo-i
enow there's no moro danger in them
linn i BO many rats. It's only n poor
rick to bringcimtoin to your tavern , Joe.
Stop there , colonel j not another word ,
The landlord turned nwny. Ho was t\
man of much rectitude and good sense ,
and ho was justly offended.
J'nt the horses to the conch ? said the
lo.stlcr. Does the Colonel k.uow ?
lie docs not choose to lifitcn , raid Uio
.indlor' ; but he'll be wiser before morn-
Jig. Hitch up the horses.
You miiBt not think my father inton-
lionully hard or cruel : but ho wuBim
ild HI my ofllcer , used to having hia
own way , nnd to disciplining weaker
rtojilo than hlmbelf.
Wo drove on nlowly. The night wns
Inrk and cold , jut my mother u rapped
Mary und mu up in cloaks and huimio

who could not bear that hohhould blame

My father nOer Unit Boon went lo sleep
Ho did not waken for a couple of hours
and then only becuubo the etago coach

They made n start nnd then stopped ,

I know it ; they have been iu the
woods nil winter.
That's wlint Joe inonnt ?
Yes , when you wouldn't Helen.
But it was notlmofor recrimination ,
The horses , urged by terror , needed no
whipping. They dashed forward. The
: oni'li , racking (3 ( nnd fro , dashed vlo-
enlly nt times against the trees. The
cries of the wolves drew nearer. They

coach , hung upon the boot , tan y'elping
alongside.
My father had placed a pnir of pistols
nfb'am'a bunds. Doth men filed alter-
intely. But they hud to plop to load ,
or it was before the day of icvolvors.

scaping from my mother had thrift

'hey slopped n moment to tear him to

vns clear.
Then they came back with fresh fury.
Ono of the horses gave a yell , human in
gony.
It's Susy I cried 6am. They've torn
icr throat. The mare was one of the
eaders. My father drew his kuile , nnd
with gre ; > t risk , crept nlong the polo be-
ween the running * wheel-horses , andciii ,
lie traces nnd reins of the two leaders ,
'ho dying horse dropped pn ono fcide c > f
lioveiilclc , and the other lender broke
rein him and fled through the woods.
Tlicfco two'll not take us in , said Sam.
No. But we'll fight every men.
The wolves had gathered about the
alien mare. The moon began to rise ,
ml showed their number. My inothci
eclared there were thousands of them.
Jul the was not in a condition to count
cry accurately.
The two wheel-horses dragged the
onch about half a mile. Then the park
amonp again , Icared on their haunches ,
.ml tore the poor brutes so that the Hebh

That would bo to burn our ship .uth

would Tin do then ?
Bring the women and children to tl"1

Then we nro lost ! . . , ,
At that moment - / mot nor , who nnd

And now the black swarming beabts

But my mother , who had been pray-

The freed leader had fortunately out-

We were "nt two miles from the vil-

Ho Heard Too BIucli.
Lewis Gnyloul Chirk , the editor of the
Liiickcrbockcr Magazine used to tell the
illowing story with creat delight :

A door ajar near the dancing linll re

It ha'pened , howbcit , tlmt this was

booner had he closed his eyes than in

arranging their disordered ringlets , the

"About you ! Why Bnrtn. I heard

whereupon the dear things chuckled

There Is ono field of work which the
progressive American women do not
teem to BcrioiiHly think of entering , yet
it is ono in which they could accomplish
much more than in many they enter

cumstances , I menu the business of n
druggist. Dexterity , neatnuhH , order , and
indeed all the qualities Chwcntial in u
good druggist , are pre-eminently present

Farmer.
it pnyfc to lutvo n milt of
clothcH to wear or meal of victuals tc
cat , farming jxiys ; MU ! when I hear sr
many faniK-TH ( if tliuy de ervo the iiann
of fanners ) complain that it does no'
pay , I think there is something wrong
aomewhetc.
Not long since I called upon a gentle
man who claims to bo a farmer. Aa he
has lived ou the name farm for over a'or
ly years , he oujiht to bo ono If ho li not
On going into Jhis b.irn , I found ludf t
dozen native rows. I asked him now
his cows thrived.
"Oh 1 very well : they nro all I have
lo depend on , and if it was not for them ,
I could not get a cunt from my farm. "
I nuked him why bo did not keep moro
cows. HuHaidtliatvw all ho could
keep with what other stock ho hud. So ,
of course , I wauled to see his other stock ,
supposing ho had some voung stock ; instead -
stead of tliat I found three old l.orscu ,
md a joke of oxen. There waa evident
ly something wrong hero , u.id I could
lot help remarking to him that , ns his
fntm waa suitable for u horse team , if be
could dispose of the lot , and get two
good horhcs. they would do all of liiu
work , and ho would B.IVO enough
or four moiu cows than ho waa now
cceping , thereby adding over $ L'00 year-
y to his iniomu ,
Then wu looked into the barn cellar ,
where he kept his hogs. There were
two of them about fifteen months old ,
uul they would dret > s about tw ° 'lm'
dred nnd fifty pounds each. Wo snid it
did not pay to raise pork
"Confound hogs 1" a fd ho "they root
so they can't grow ' y , " d BO H.xying
10 threw n SUCK nt one of them that
was in the ne * of rooting up l rge
stouo from IJio bottom of the cellar. I
suggested 'o him lo put fifty loads of
nuck into the cellar , and the manureixa
ast a it accumulated , for the hops to
vork over ; but lie said ho had no time ,
aid could not get money to pay n hired
nan. That was enough to satisfy tno
hat it did not pay him to farm.
It is just such men as UiiH who always
complain tlmt farming does not pay.
But wliv don't they give up the farm
ana engage lnuomo otnor business , If U
lays so poorly ? The fact is they would
nake a failure of any thing they under-
ook , no matter what , fora man who
s successful in one business will bo in
another if ho understands it ; and a
man should never tnlto the management ,
of n farm unless he understands it in
all of ita branches ; and ono that
understands nud likes it , you will
icver licar say it does not pay. I Imvo
icuid men say , "I would not give my
arm for a whole city , if I hud to live
here , for you cannot breathe anything
nit coal giis , or see anything but brick
yalls. " Such men will always niako
arming pay ; nnd hnvu no dimculty in
aising steers that will dr 'HS from five to
seven hundred nt two years o.d , or pi ; !
hat will dress thice hiuuUe * } . at. bir
months old.
Curious Bibles.
Certain editions of the Bible , owing to
'ho errors they contained , have received
many odd names. What is known as
, ho "Biceches 1'ible" ( Geneva 1000) ) , was
BO called bccanso Genesis lii. , 7 , was
translated : "They sowed fig leaves lot -
t Ui r ; ' pmilo liwpi'hes , " instead of
r ar > rnnB" oin the Enghfih version now
used. In the Treacle Bible (1508) ( ) , Jere
miah Yili , , 22 , was made to read : "Is
liero no trcticlo in Gilcnd , " instead of
"halm , " nnd inlGOOthoword vuschnngd
to "rosin ; " "balm" was first used in 1101.
Iho "Vinegar Bible , " printed in Oxford
n 1717 by John Banket , derives its name
' 10in the Leading of Luke xx. , which wn
made to rend : ' "Hio parable of tha
vinegar. " The book had many olhci
errors from which it has also been called ,
after the printer's name , "A Basket of
irrora. " In 1031 a Bible was printed in
England , and in 1682 another appeared
n Germany , both of which made the
seventh commandment rend : "Thou
Bhult commit adultery , " the word "not"
) eing omitted. It has very appropriately
been called the "Wicked JUblc. "
Old Books and Ozone , ,
It is known tlmt ozone , when proper-
y applied , IB a most effective and con
venient agent for restoring books or
> rints which have become brown with
igp , or been smeared or boiled with col
oring matter only a abort time being
required to render them perfectly white ,
us if just from the press , and this with
out injuring in the least the blackness
of the ink. An example given of thera-
inlt produced in this way is that of a
jook of the sixteenth century , upon n
> ngo of which neveral sentences ) hud
jeen painted over , by the monks of
that day , with a blnck whining coloring
mutter , in order to make them illegible ,
uul of which no trace of a line could bo
detected. After thirty-six hours' treat
ment with ozone , the coloring matter
wua entirely destroyed , the most careful
scrutiny of the pugo failing to disclose
ho fact that any of the lines had once
iieen painted over. Writing ink may
readily be discharged with ozone , espec
ially if the paper be subsequently treat
ed with dilute chlorhydric acid to re
move the oxide of iron.
A STEI- TOWARD Fonujtu. About fbry
rears ago , a poor woman' living in Phil *
idelphm , managed to eke out a misera-
) lo existence by belling mohibscs candy ,
Duo day , her candy was'scorched. The
A'oimui was in despair. The loss was a
serious ono in a trade whoso profits
were counted by pennies. She was quick
witted , liowevur , and ronJjr willi fcsj > o-
dients. She clacked Homo walnuts ,
mixed the kernels with the candy , und
wrotoapmcuid , "The now nut candy ,
one cent a cake. " The children dropped
in on their way to school. The candy
ivaa liked. They cnmo back for moro
: io next day. The fume of the theap
ctqfoction spread from one school to
nnoUicr. The maker shrewdly confined
lorstlf to making that. Presently she
ook a larger shop in the alley. Inn
year or two ho moved ngain , but tins
line it was into ono of the principal
streets. New , her walnut candy is cold
all over the country. Boine years ago , she
Bold out her business , nud retired with a
handsome fortune. Now ehe. lives in a
stately houho which stands in a grove
of walnut trees ; carved putiels representing -
senting walnut bougha decorate Iho din
ing room ; nud on her carriage , instead
of a coat of arms , is a bunch of walnuta
tiiat bursting from the husks.
