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? that he might stnmhle am. 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 from Ned’s pistol, now aimed at the black mass, n red another tempo ral y slacken' hWipf -their pace, an 1 two or three rq-? bilious widened the 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 appointment, . y scattered in all di rections. It was a feaifat experience for Ned, and he speaks now almost in a whis per of his terrible ride for life. 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 agaiuat the windoA. tin. aiul 1;. The i the glass, express 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 : “ I’d rather be a boy than be Pres ident.”—Detroit Free Press. 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, had it not been lor advertising.” -til tit* „„ 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 ces, which, pasted iu a serap-book, are a source of never-endiag pleasure, not only for thbse who do not care for richer intellectual food, but to those who have only odd minutes for reading. 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 and Society," Scribner's for March. 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.
