cies of tVe%olf ttjbc, which, when
sorely pressed by hunger, anv
thing but pleasant acquaintancesMl
meet in solitary places. The gray
wolf of the West sometimes attains
an enormous size, and has on some
occasions proved a formidable antag
onist, even alien (logs and men were
pitted against him.
During long and violent snow
storms on the plains, the wolves are
sometimes cut off from their usual
resources of food; and in their fam
ished condition have been known to
-4?and together in large packs, and at
tack small parties of emigrants.
The winter of 1861-2 was unusu
..ally severe on the plains, and all du
ring the season the snow lay heavy
a'tid deep on the rolling uplands be
tweep the Big Blue and Fort Kear
ney. '"The wolves and coyotes of this
region,, unable to find food on the
prairies, prowled around the ranches
and, emboldened' by hunger, pounced
down upon corrals, and actually kill
ed and carried off email cattle, mules,
and other animals.
It was about the middle of a bright
tut cold afternoon iu February, when
an old Colorado miner, named Ned
Prentirs, started from a ranche op the
Blue, bound for Fort Kearney. lie
was mounted on a large and power
ful stallion, noted for his great endu
rance all through the mountain region.
The road was well tracked by the
numerous wagons which had passed
over it during the day, and Ned,
knowing that he had but thirty miles
to ride, confidently expected to go
through to the Fort in five or six
hours.
His progresdHtaMrapi'l and unin
terrupted,
1;.?
hills which fifteen miles east
of Kearney. He bad passed ami met
numerous teams until now, when they
began to lessen in number?, and final
ly he was alone. The trains had
gone into camp for the night, while
lie had yet over a dozen miles before
him. Towards dark it commenced
snowing, and soon after a blinding
storm was raging. In half an hour
the road track began to become ob
scure, but Ned had often travelled
the route and rode forward without
apprehension.
As the gloom of night thickened
around him, the long howl of a wolf
in the distance answered by the sharp
bark of the coyote, occasionally fell
upon his ear. But Ned galloped on
in good spirits, whistling and singiug
as he rode.
Suddenly the sharp yelp of a wolf
was heard so distinctly as to awaken
unpleasant reflections of his close
proximity, and looking across Lis
shoulder, Ned saw three or four dark
objects only a hundred yards away,
bounding after him over the snow.
But, he was well armed; and with a
full knowledge of the cowardly in
stincts of the prairie wolf, he appre
hended no danger. II s horse was
still fresh and active, and with a light
icyieh of the spur, Ned increased his
| git.
| The snow now ceased to fall, this
! clouds broke away, and the moon and
j stars came out with more than usual
| brilliancy and splendor. The dark
I spits iu Ned’s wake had steadily in
creased in numbers and iu size, until
they seemed to merge into one black,
living, moving mass. The long-con
tinued howls of the hungry pack be
gan to be answered from euber side,
and hero and there an additional dark
objwt would dait forward and join
the iying column.
Nad began to feel serious. A look
overhis shoulder showed the wolves
to fce gaining, and with a gentle pres
sure >f his spur ho urged his horse
forwsrd- But now the continued cry
ofth; pack had aroused the wolves
in frtnt and on either side, and before
fted was aware of it, one or two
gaun'. and hungry fellows of large
size vers close upon his flanks. Tak
ing cat his revolver he let go right
and ljt, and had the satisfaction of
; seem? them both rolling in the snow.
Tbejrounding of these two served
■ as a takporary check to the onset of
'he mdn body, for they halted jupt
long eSbogh to tear iu pieces and de
vour i.lfeir carcasses. But the taste
of blood only made them more des
perate: anu they came leaping on with
increased speed, a.
howls. The horse wi.
.strode exhibited a little e\,
ifutgite, but the greatest dan?

an accident which would have sc
►the fate of both horse and rider a
once. Fortunately the instinct of the
noble animal enabled him.to keep in
the road : as the track was hard* and
ismooth, bis for. t big was secure.
Still the pash pressed on, gradually
closing the g" - between the pursu
ers and (be pc sued. Another shot

black mass, n red another tempo

distance still mere. Then ho threw
off his cap, next 1 is coat, and finally
kicked off his boots, one after the
other.
lie had finally exhausted all his
means for keeping the wolves in check
and still they were hotly in pursuit.
Pool 4 Ned’s heart sank within him as
he became conscious that his horse’s
wind was rapidly 'ailing, and that ho
could not nyicli longer maintain the
stride ho was making. The hungry
brutes were gaining rapidly, and en
couraged by the improving prospect
of a good meal, they redoubled their
cries and howls. Two or three of the
fastest of the wolves had approached
near<4nongh to si ap at the heels and
flanks of the Ned momen
tarily expected to bo dragged from
his seat..
But hark ! Ci rtainly that was the
neighing of t horse 1 Ned’s gallant
steed heard the sound, and with an
answering neigh dashed forward at
greatly accelerated speed. Suddenly
a bright light appeared a little way
ahead, and five minutes later Ned fell
from his horse into the anus of a few
emigrants who had encamped by the
wayside, and lied' gathered about a
brilliant camp fire. The wolves gave
up the chase hen they saw the
sparks and *>V-that bivouac fire,
aed. *?;’• . j'ls of rage and dis

rections.
It was a feaifat experience for Ned,
and he speaks now almost in a whis

Brasser’s Burglar!
Mr. Brasser, who lives on Ninth
avenue, has a son-about twelve years
old named Claudius, and the other
evening this boy received permission
to allow a neighbor’s boy to stay all
night with him. r lhe old people sleep
down stairs in the sitting room, and
the boys were put in a room directly
above. When they went up to the
bed Claudius had the clothes line un
der his coat, and the neighbor’s boy
had a mask in his pocket. They
didn’t kneel dov.ji arid say their
prayers like good boys and then jump
into bed and tell hear stories, but ns
soon as the door was locked the
Brasser boy remarked:
“ You’ll see more fun here to night
than would lie oa a ten acre lot!”
From a closet they brought, out a
cast-oflF suit of Brasser’s clothes,
stuffed them with whatever came
handy, ti-id the mask and an old
straw hat on for a head, and while
one boy was carefully raising the
window the otbtr was tying the
clothes-line around the “ inan.” The
image was lowered down in front of
the sitting roonj 1 window, lifted up
and dowu once or twice, and old
Brasser was heard to leap out of lied
with a great jar. He was beginning
to doze when he heard sounds under
his window; and Lis wife suggested
that it was a cow in the yard. He
got up, pulled the curtain away and
aa he beheld a man standing there
he shouted out:
“ Great, bottles! hut it is a robber!”
and ho jumped into bed.
“Theodorius Biasser, you are a
fool !” screamed the wife as he mo
nopolized all the bed clothes to cover
up his head.
“Be quiet, you old jade you! ” he
whispered; “perhaps he will go
away! ”
“Don’t you call me a jade!” sho
replied, reaching over and trying to
find his hair.
“ Git up), and git the gun, and blow
his Lead off.”
“ Ob, you do it,’ 1
“Git up, you coward,” she snapped.
“ I will never live with you another
day if you do not do it.”
Brasser turned kip the lamp, and
sat up in bed, audferied out:
“ Is that you, bpr. s ? ”
“ Mercy on me] git up! ” yelled
the wife as the straw man knocked

Brasser jumped back with a cry of
alarm.
“Kill him! Shoot him down, Win
1 ” screamed the wife. 4
“T will—by thunder! I will!” re
plied Brasser, and he blazed away
and tore out nearly all the lower
sash.
The boys un-stairs ut’ered a yell
and groan, and Brasser jumped for
the window to see if the man was
down. lie wasn’t. Ife stood right
there, end made a leap at Brasser.
“He’s coming in—petlice—boys—
hoi perlice!” roared the old man.
The tattered curtain permitted
Mrs. Brasser to catch sight of a man
jumping up and down, and she yelled :
“Theodorius, I’m going to faint!”
“ Faint and be darned—boys—per
lice!” lie replied, wallowing on the
sheet-iron stove with the poker.
“Don’t yon dare talk that way to
me!” shrieked the old woman, recov
ering from lior desire to faint.
“ Po-leee 1 Po-lece! ” now came
from the boys up-stab*; while one
continued shouting, the other drew
the man up, tore him limb from limb,
and secreted the pieces.
Several neighbors were aroused,
an officer came up from the station,
and a search of the premises was
made. Not so much as a track in
the snow was found, and the officer
put on an iujnred look, and said to
Mr. Brasser:
“ A guilty conscience needs no
accuser.”
“That’s so ! " ehoruseed the indig
nant neignboi'B as tn*y departed.
As Mr. Brasser hung a quilt be
fore the shattered window, he re
marked to his wife.
“Now what an old cundurango
you made of yourself.”
“Don’t fling any insult at me, or
I’ll choke the attenuated life out of
you,” she replied.
And the boys kicked aronnd on
the bed, chucked each other in the
ribs, and cried :

Sayings of Spurgeon.
Spurgeon sentcntiously expresses
a number of thought s “ worthy of re
membering ” in the following appro
priate sentences, which lie published
as “ advice gratis: ”
Nobody is more like an hornet
man than a thorough rogne.
When you see a man with a
deal of religion displayed in his shop
window, you may depend upon it,
he keeps a very small stock of it
within.
Do not choose your friend by his
jocks; handsome shoes often pinch
the feet.
Do not be fond of compliments;
remember “ thank you, pussy, and
thank you pussy,” killed the cat.
Don’t believe the man who talks
the most, for mewing cats arc very
seldom rnousers.
By no means put yourself in an
other parson’s power; if you put your
thumb between two grinders, they
are very apt to bite.
Drink nothing without seeing it;
sign nothing without reading it; and
make sure it means no more than it
says.
Put no dependence on the label of
a bag, and count money after yonr
own kind.
In any business, never wade into
water where you can’t see the bot
tom.
See the sack open before you buy
what is in it, for he who trades in
the dark asks to he cheated.
Keep clear of a man who docs not
value his own character.
Advertising. —That was a pro
found philosopher w bo compared ad
vertising to the growing of a crop.
He said :
'•‘The farmer plants his seed, and
while he is sleeping the corn is grow
ing. .So with ad verti-ing. While
yuu are sleeping or eating your ad
vertisrnent is being read by thous
ands who never saw you, aor heard"
of your business, nor never would,

„„ v,.0 first place, there are the
household recipes, to be found in stray
corners, often excellent and deserving
a refuge on the fly leaf of the family
cook-book. Then (Him# the pretty
verses, the strange and droll stories,
Aheiirief biographies and reminiscen

Notwithstanding the squibs joouiar
journalists have penned on the use of
newspapers for bed-clothing, we know
from experience that these are not to
ho despised. They may not be as
comfortable as your blankets, but cer
tainly they keep out the cold. Two
thicknesses of papers are better than
a pair of blankets, and in the oase of"
persons who dislike the weight of
many bed-clothes, they are invaluable.
A spread made of a double layer of
papers between a covering of calico
or chintz is desirable in, every house
hold. The papers should be tacked
together with thread, and also basted
to the covering to keep them from
slipping. An objection has been
made on account of the rustling, but
if soft papers be chosen the noise will
not be annoying, especially should the
spread belaid between a blanket and
the counterpane.
Asa protection to plants against
cold, both in and out of doors, noth
ing is better. If newspaper# be pill*
ned up overnight at a window be
tween pots and glass, the Cowers will
not only not he frozen, but will not
even get chilled, as they are so liable
to be at this season. In the same
way, if taken to cover garden hods,
on the frosty nights of early autumn,
they will allow tho plants to remain
safely outdoors some timo later than
is common.
One of Lite oddest services to put
our journals to is tho keeping of ice
in summer. An ingenious house
keeper recently discovered that her
daily lump of ice would last nearly
twicas long when wrapped in news
papers, and placed in any kind of a
covered box, as when trussed solely
to a refrigerator. Thin is very con.
venient, since it is possible to have the
best and cheapest refrigerator con
stantly at hand.
To polish all kinds of glass after
washing, except table glass, no cloth
or flannel is half so good as a news
paper ; ana Tor baker’s dozen of
other uses, quite foreign to its primal
purpose, it is without a rival. —“ Home

ESKT’ Girls, in treating dissipated
young men as equals, do a wrong
that they scarcely realize. Such men
should be made to fee! that until they
redeem themselves, until they walk
with correctness and honor in the
path of right, good people will stand
aloof from them. Girls who respect
themselves will not be seen with such
young men, and will decline to re
ceive them on the familiar footing of
friendship. It is a mistaken kindness
to poultice when a caustic is needed,
and I am inclined to think that a lit
tle sharp* and firm decision on the
part of t ho young girls, would go far
to correct the general looseness of
morality among young men.— "Worn
