I stood .and watched my ships go out, Each/ono by, one, unmooring free, What time the quiet harbor lilted, With Hood tide from the sea, The first that sailed, her name was Joy She spread a smooth, white, shining-snjl. And eastward drove with bending spars Before the sighing gale. Another sailed—herunmer was Hope No cargo In her hold she boro, Thinking to find In western lands OPmcrchamll.se a,store. The next that sailed, her name was Love She showed a red flag at her mast, A flag as red as blond sho showed, And sho sped south right fast. The Inst that sailed, her name was Faith Slowly sho took her passage forth, Tracked and lay ton; at last she steered A sjtvalghtcourso for the north. My gallant ships, they sailed away. Over the shimmering Summer sea J stood at watch for many a day— But one came back to me, For Joy was canght by Plrato I’ulu ; Hope rim upon a bidden veef. And Lovo took fire and foundered fast, - In whelming sens of grief.

The “gray boast of Hu* forest.’ as f ho old Russian peasants used to coll him, has a sadly restricted reign now-a-days. In France and Fpnln he appears hut rarely, ami then, for the most part, 111 thoneigh horhood of the Pyreuee-; and the roman tic tourist, who Ims long yearned for a chance of stuffing into Ids forthcoming hook of travels an appropriate quotation from Macaulay : “Thopnsswns sloopnml rncsorl; The wolves they howled and whined”— is too often doomed to lie grievously dis appointed. In Switzerland, again ebs briamids dc loupa are almost tit known; except in the wilder parts of the Orisons; and even there, the enterprising sports man, who hna * begun to congratulate himself on having met with ‘a’ real live wolf* at last, frequently discovers, with mingled relief and mortification, that the huge gray beast which.comes slouching toward him through the rising mist is merely a stray dog from name outlaying chalet. But the boundless forests of Rus sia afford to this outcast from society a safe and commodious lodging, rent free, leaving him'only his food to think about; which latter lie, provides by midnight raids into the scattered villages, in quest of a stray sucking pig ; or, better still, a homeless dog (for hla civilized )»alf broth er is always a tit-bit with ‘GafTer Ise grimm /) or occasionally even hy stop ping belated travelers, brig and fashion, on the Czar’s highway. Nor is he by any means so difficult of access as many im agine; for hunger is a powerful pleader, aide to vanquish the ingrained unsoeia bility of ibis hereditary outlaw. Even here, In the largest and most populous city, but one In Russia ; one need only take a walk of three miles Into the envi rons after dark, to ' see clusters of pale spots of light, like the flame of a .half extinguished coal, moving swiftly among the trees, and hear a long dreary wail, like the moan of the'wind on' a gusty winter night, going up through the still, frosty air. Only the other day, I fell in with a peasant who-bad acquired, some renown hv killing one of these chcvelicrs ou brouillard barely a mile beyond'the Sale. Iniki Barrier, which hounds Moscow to the north ; nor is such.a case by any means exceptional. Last December, I happened to be un expectedly detained at a small outlaying hamlet in the Vilna district (the name of which I do not remember,} and al most the first man T lidded upon there was a German engineer whom T had formerly known at Konigsberg, and who now Insisted upon making me his guest till I could get forward toward Smo lensk. We sat late over, a very primitive supper, and my host (who is a keen sportsman) was just hinting at the pos sibility of getting up a hunt for the de struction of a wolf of uncommon size and strength, which had lately haunted the neighborhood, ami committed great rava ges, when a terrible noise from tlie upper end of the village, like a score of voices nil -shrieking at once, broke in upon our dint. , , • Anh Holier Gutt ! was Ist dns ?’ cried my companion, rushing to the door, and throwing it open. The whole place seemed In the height of confusion ; men were running wildly hither and U» it her, women screaming, children crying, lights glancing to and fro. I seized the arm of a man who.was rushing past, and hastily asked what was the matter. ‘Wolfagain! grasped the febow, who could hardly speak ; ‘up yonder— Nyoman devoured—rnn for the watchman and away he flew. The next moment, my comrade nml I were running at full speed toward the scene of the catastrophe, on reaching which, we came suddenly upon a spec tncle which I shall not easily forget.- The fitful glimmer of the. rising moon, and the dying glare of a lire kindled over night, in the vain hopeojf scaring away the wolves, sit np a circle of .wild figures and grim-bearded faces, Convulsed, with cwrv varying form, of passion—dumb horror, blank astonishment, panic fear., the spasm of hitter sorrow, the stern calmness of concentrated wrath. In the background, the gaunt whltearms of the leafless forest stood out against tho sur rounding blackness like giant skeletons ; while, iu the centre of the group, half burled In the trampled and blood-be smeared snow, lay a motionless, shape less something, from which all involun tarily averted their eyes—the lifeless wreck, mangled out of all semblance of humanity, of what had been but a few hours before the pride of a happy house hold and the beauty of the village.. There are certain catastrophes iu the -presence of which every one is instinc tively slleiit. For several moments not a word Is spoken ; ami in that dead pause of expectation, I have leisure to remark the‘face of a peasant who stands oppo site me. He is a young man of twenty five or twenty-six. though Ijis- broad chest and powerful limbs, as well as the runiinitlcent brown beanl tbnt waved over tbe bo«om of bis sheepskin frocks miijht make him appear much older.— Ilia foee la coarse nml weather-beaten enough ; but tlieie is something In. that broad-low forehead, and aqiiare. rutlite-a jaw, and amall, deep set, glitterinK eye. wbteh tolls you at a Rianee. I nut, wiint-j ever danger might confront him, that man would bo very bard to turn. >ylilld I am still looking at him, lie suddenly steps forward and speaks; ‘lt’s lime to (iitisti this,’ soys tie, in a tone winch there is no mistaking. ‘Who will come with mo into the forest, and moke an end of that brute, once for all!’ Tbe summons does not remain long unanswered. There is no braver mafi living than the Russian peasant, when Ills naturally sluggish blood is once fair ly up. Three men Instantly volunteer to join him ; while my German friend and I (already suflloi-ntly excited by oil that we have seen anti beard.) hasten to follow their example. Our preparations are soon made, and about two In tbe morning, under the full splendor of the winter moonlight, we set forth on tbe trail of tbe destroyer. There Is but one gun among the six of us, tbe rest being armed with clubs and hatchets; but tbo German has likewise a short hunting- I Uuifo, which has done him service be t fore now. Tramp, tramp it hits boon Tor miles, without night nr sound of mir lurking enemy; and Iho Russians,'unused to such severe marching, h'gin to fall be hind. The* German, myself, ami one of the at- length find ourselves alone, and halt, in order lo glvetheotirer three time to- come up. Already their steps are heard cru'nehlng over the snow, nnd, a few moments Inter (he dark flg*. urea come gliding toward us through the floating shadow; but, to nur astonish-. meat, Instead of three men, only two make* (heir appearance. Our leader is still missing. ‘Wliero is .Michael ?* s\sks Iho German. 'J’bo men look at each other wMmut an swering, and every iace reflect the same look of dismay; for.we all know what going n«drav In a Russian forest in win ter really means. In the dead hush that follows, we suddenly hear.a distant cry. not the deep manly shout ot a hunter calling to his mates, hut the sin til ago nized yell-of a mini in his oxljvmest need, —theory of the climber who feels his hold relaxing, of the swimmer who finds his limbs falling him- Tho next, moment, we are all fleeing in the diroe-s tion of the sound. Michael, while quickening his nace to catch with up us, had been brought loa halt hy the bursting of his sh nest rap. and must stoop to adjust, it. But tnere is one watching him who fully appreciates that defenceless posture. Poor Michael does not. hear the rustlc of that stealthy tread, do«s not sc • I lie gleam of Hint fierce yellow eyo ; hut lx* cannot fail to hear the sharp. crackle. of >he rh'-ifi branches ms a huge gravlsh mii'G shoof-t from tin* dark thicket, and falls rk-hf up on him as he rises, fiercely at his unprotected side " it h its sharp white ‘fangs. Yet even in this deadly p»*ril the brave fellow does not bne Ids heart. One 'moment’s-grace is .allowed him, while the Ms-utiant’s teeth fall !<• pmree his tough sheepskin froek; aml that mo ment snffiees. The wolf's Inaid is major hi* left armpit—in an instant his'power fu 1 arm is round its neck, jamming tin* beast's !hrout in an iron clasp between his side- ami dhow.; while with his right hand he seizes, its forepaw, ami holds the brute as In .a' vice, lifting his voice* at Hie same moment in a wild cry for ho’p. Ami now begins a t**rril» ( o struggle. >'(t lime to spjdeh up the trusty axe which has fallen just in front of him' — i I G a lug of sheer strength now. The wolf, er-’ct An his hind lees, strains dVery nerve to tear hinneM'fVe«* ; oneo fieo, one ■ strangling gilp of Michael’s throat, will pay for alb Hold on, ms yon love your life! t hough your Jninls.eraek h* and your sinews start, and your head swims dizzily—hold on still—tighter, tighter, tighter! And .so. anjid the tomb like shadows of thovlnnely fared, with the cold moon looking pililesslV down upon It, d es the deathpripple proceed. That iron procure Is begin ning to toll at last—t’e fierce yellow eyes are growing dim, the’hngh jaws writ lie convulsively, and from their edges the hot flakes of blood and foam spurt ove.r Michael’s face. But how -long can (hat hold be maintained ? Are not the strain ,ed muscles already yielding? The'Stitl ened fingers already rehxingtheircldtch? Ami the five staunch comrades who would rush to the rescue If they hut knew —where are they? One last des pairing cry for aid, which the echoes of the lonely forest.give back ns If In mock ery—and then everything swims around him—shmlows dance before his ryes, a rushing, roaring sound sweeps past him, there is a dull crash close to his ear—ami he falls exhausted fo the earth. • ‘Was fur oift Their?’ says the Gorman, admiringly, tearing his reeking knife from the throat of the monster, whose chi: ll io )if»rulJy thivorod by (bo /oriJii.i ■ able hatchets. When we lifted Michael, we found him. ,ro our astonishment, completely unwounded, (hough utterly spent with his superhuman exertions. His first neb on coming to. himself was sufficiently •characteristic. After crossing hi in self devontediy, and imirmuri.ng'a few words of prayer, he staggered up to the spot, where the wolf lay dead, and bending over it, said with a taunting grin, ‘Xoo, brat, ya vlgral.shlo li?’ (‘Well brother, I'vo won, haven't I .*’) We rewarded the hravo fellow ns he deserved; but in the hope of obtaining him a further reward £rom the govern ment, we thought it best to publish the whole story in one of (he local Russian papers, whence it soon after found its way Into the journals of (he metropolis, exciting thereby an interest in behalf of the hereo, which is now (t am glad to learn,) likely to hear abundant fruit.

Germany, and aged ill yen re. She came lo this' country in search of a slsfer, who, shesavs, lives somewhere within Mm Umiu of Grant county. On her am v.d In Xew York she was besieged hy runners’’ami taken to a hold, her baggage being left at Cas tle Garden. When getting ready to leave the city, the pretended landlord of tin* hotel volunteered to lake her cheek ami procure her baggage.. Not feeling dis posed to trust to strangers, she proposed to accompany tin* man, hut was told that “it was not light for a man and wo man to lie seen walking together in the city,” and was aeeo.dingly persuaded to deliver the check - lo the man. Tin* con requence was ,that neither the man nor baggage Ims been heard from. . The trunk contained all the girls clot bing, be sides money, and other - valuables de signed as presents to her sMer. Be’ng unused to the, way* of tin* world, tin* girl made an appeal to some person who represented himself to be a detective, hut who. undoubtedly, was an accomplice of Hie landlord. Tills individual after sev eral attempts to recover the trunk, told the girl Unit there was no use trying anv longer, ns it had evidently been h»- ken ofi hy Homo other person. Having, purchased « ticket through t*» Dnnleilh. the girl proceeded on’ her journey, ar riving in the latter place some time af terwards. There sin* made known her dost ination, and was recommended hy (he holed keeper with whom she ate break fast to a man who. he said, lived, in Beetown and would accompany her lo her sister’s- The man spoke . German, but said ho was horn in Ireland. Re posing confidence in iter guide, she paid her hotel hill, and the-two started across the country, on font, for Beetown. After crossing the bridge at Boise creek, the man made some indecent proposals h> the girl, which was indignantly repelled. Whereupon the villain robbed her of Hhall hood and money. Of the latter ahehnd ohmit‘3oo fiuniM In hard money and 100 in paper. Then throwing his victim into a mineral hole, and after wandoting through the fields found ref ugc in the house of a farmer, who, the day following, brought her to Lancaster And now comes another misfortune to this unfortunate.
