)The soaruls that round about mo rit.
Are what none other hears;
I eeo what meets no other eves
Though mine were dim with tears.
The breaking of the summer's morn
The tinge on houto and tree
Tho billowy clouds the beauty born
Of that celestial sea.
The freshness of the fairy land
Lit by the golden gleam
It is my youth that where I stand
Comes back as in a dream.
Alas I tho real never lent
Those tints too bright to last;
They lado gnd bid me rest content,
And let the past bo past.
In every change of man's Cstato
Are lights nnd guides nllow'd;
The fiery pillar will not wait,
But, parting, sends the cloud.
Nor mourn I tho less the manly part
Of life to leave behind;
My loss is but tho lighter heart,
My gain tho graver mind.
The Night in the Forest.

"How far is It through the forest?"
"Fifteen Vcrsts, my lord."
"Ah I"
Tlie speaker, a young man of fiyo-and-
twenty, and with an air of distinction
justifying tho rank assigned to liltn, shrug-
cert his shoulders as he spoke, nnd looked
ilp at the wintry sky, that frowned down,
gray and gloomy, on tho wnstcaofinow that
covered lie landscape.
"Hadn't j ou better wait till morning, my
lord?" said tho postmaster. "It will be
quite dark in an hour."
But we can find our way, can't wo? it

"Oil I tho Mou) lie obeys orders, and asks
no questions. Ho dare not."
Well, then, ws will goon. I ought tn
hava been at my destination early this
morning, nnd would have been but for an
accident, a station back."
Ho, lit n cigar, with these words, and
Jprang briskly into tho sledge, which dis
appeared, at once, in the forest.
"I know, now who he is," said the other,
as he wont bock to his warm room. "It Is
the young Baron Von Berg, who is to marry
pretty Countess Olga. Tho wedding comes
oU'lo-tnnriuw.nnd he was duo this morning.
I don't envy him Ilia cold ride," spreading
put his hands beforo the sUive, "or the risks
he runs. Iliad a mind to epoak of them

Jbem.': .
Travelers liy post, In Russin,chango horses
about every ten miles. For this purpose
thero are slallons on all tho main roads.
tfsunlly, tha same sledge is used for tho
hole journey ; but tho driver is changed
with the horses.
Fur some time, tho baron smoked on In
6ilcnce. The air, in the meontlnic, became
Rceucr, tho rising wind whirled the snow
into litis face; tho darkness gathered denser
and mnro dense.
"You know tho road ?" ho said, at last,
addressing the driver.
"Yes) my lord. I have traveled It, day
and night for twenty years."
But not often on n night like this?"
No 1 But I can't mistake it. It runs
straight through the forest, as yon see."
"But I don't see. This fine, drifting snow
almost blinds me. If it should come on lo
storm, we couldn't see an Inch before us."
"In that event," said the Moujik, "wo'll
liayo to trust to tlie horses. They'd know
the road, even if I didn't."
Ah 1" said the voting man, and again
relapsed into silence.
How the wind howled. How the branches
of tho leafless trees wiihed and groaned.
How ghost-)iko tho sombre fire looked In
the gloom. The traveler's cigar had gone
out, and he now took another. By its light
he looked at his walch. "Twenty minutes
since we left the post-house," he murmured.
"A quarter of the jnnrnev completed. So
far so good."
Ho smoked on, after this, in silence The
jinglo of tho horses' bells, the rattle of the
harness, tho whiz of the runners over the
snow, and tho crack of the Mnujlk's whip,
became so monotonous, at last, that he be
gan to bo drowsy; am) no wonder, for he
had not been in bed for two nights, having
been traveling all that time.
He thought of his betrothed. The Coun
lesi Olga was not only as lovely as h dream;
she was as witty and charming also. Tho
marriage was one of pure love, on both
sides. Tho baron hid met her first, at
Baden-Baden, the year before. An engago
ment had soon followed, and the wedding
fixed for the winter. He was now on his
way to claim his bride. The delay, he felt
sure, was making heranxlous. "Pear girl,"
he said, "I can See her now, with her eager
eyes and pale fare, going to tho window,
every few minutes, to look if my sledge ia
coming; oh 1 how happy we shall both be,
when I arrive, an hour hence."
Suddenly ho was awnko fiom his reverie,
by the furious swish of the Moujlk's whip
The horses seemed to bo wiM with terror.
They wore going at full gallop, snorting
llercely.
"What's the matter ?" he asked, rousing
himself.
"Don't you hear?" cried tb Moujik, in
a frightened voice. "The wolves I There
ate a score of 'cm Saint Izaak protect us!"
vThe young man bad often heard of this
peril to the traveler, during winter, In Rus
sia; but had regarded there narratives as
more or less exaggerated. Even now he
could hardly understand the Moujlk's ter
ror. It was not till he became aware of a
peculiar sound, that apjieared to be coming
nearer eyery instant, that he awoke to full
consciousness of Ihedanger. It was a sound
compounded of a bark and a snarl; and with
it came the patter of scores of rapid feet on
the hard crust of snow; a sound that rose
over the tinkle of the bells, the snort of the
horses, (he swish of the Moujlk's whip, and
eyen the moaning of the wintry wind. His
very blood ran cold as he beard it. There
was Iq t something indescribably fearful.
Shading hlseycs with bis band, he peered
inra toe twilight, behind, from oat of which
tke sounds proed4. We say twilight, for
$1.00
though night had actually set in, the glare
Irom the snow throw a ghastly half-light
over everything. In this dim radiance, he
saw, or thought bo saw, what seemed a wild
torrent of black forms, tumbling madly
over each other, like aomeblack flood sboot
Ing down rapids. But now it was gone.
Only tho dark shadows of tho far-off firs
were seen, and above these shadows the
spectral firs themselves, shivering, now and
then, as it were, in the icy atmosphere;
white high over all, swept past tho leaden
colored, ominous storm clouds. No. Thern
it was again, resolving itself, as it camo
nearer, Into a mass of dusky forms, mixed
altogether and careering down upon the
ledge. Ho could see, even at Unit distance,
the gleam of a hundred hungry eyes, and
hear every momenl,more and more distinct,
the snarling and yelping.
"We aro lost," cried the Moujik, glancing
over his shoulder. "Oh 1 my lord baron,
how they gain on us."
But the baron camo of a long lino of
knightly ancestors, many of whom had lod
forlorn hopes, or fallen in hopeless sallies,
nnd he was not one todio without a struggle,
or even loso his presence of mind, although
in face of the greatest and most unexpected
of dangers.
"Courage, courage," he said. "I have
my riflo hero. I novcr travel without it.
Only keep your horses up to their work."
Meantime, the wolves came on swiftly,
and it wns plain that in five minutes they
would bo on him. He cocked his rifle cool
ly, nnd waited.
The whole forest is alive with them,"
he said to himself. "In this half-light,
they look like hundreds. I doubt if a doz
en rifles would turn them bock. The very
momentum of those behind will impel the
mass onward, no matter how many fall in
front. Hero goes 1"
He fired, as he spoke, at the foremost of
the gong, a great, gaunt giant, famished
with a long winter, who wos coming on,
with head erect, teeth glittering, and hairs
on cud, while, at his heels, tho hungry
pack followed tumultously, u dark, swoy-
ng mass, yelping and snntling.
The mighty beast rolled over, stono dead,
so sure bad been the aim, nnd for a second
of time, the pack appeured checked in its
career. But the next instant the body dis
appeared under tho advancing maes that
poured down on the sledge liko the Vistula
in flood.
'IFostcr, faster," cried tho young man, fit
ting another bullet Into bis breech-loader.
Tlie frightened steeds required no whip,
however; instinct niado them fully aware
of their peril; and tboy were thundering
on now, with wildly heaving flanks and
strained, outstretched necks.
"Hn I ho has it," tho baron cried, as ho
brottghtdown anotherwolf.thoonothat hail
taken tho placoof thodead leader, "and you
and you great heavens, will nothing stop
them ?"
For though no less than six had now fal
Ten,TdlTei?cVniepoutingon. If It bad been
a score be had slain it would have been the
same. They wera now within twentyyards
of the slerlge. Two gaunt wolves wcnT
down beforo his rifle. Now they were with
in fifteen yards. Tho foremost was so nigh,
indeed, that the traveler seemed actually to
feel his hot breath.
"Faster, faster," he cried.
Mad with terror, the Moujik applied his
lash. The horses sprang forward anew as if
concentrating all their strength in a last ef
fort, and, for a moment, tho wolves seemed
to be falling behind. But just us the baron
was congratulating himself on this theie
came a butst of howls from ahead; a new
troop dashed out of the forest there ; the
steeds recoiled on their haunches with a
wild snort; a huge, shaggy monster sprang
at the throat of the oil' horse ; tlie sledge
stopped with a jerk that nearly threw the
baron from his feet; and then tho wolves,
in what seemed to be one dense mass, pre
cipitated themselves from front and rear
upon their prey.
Meanwhile the Countess Olga had been
sufl'ering torments of anxiety and doubt.
Her lover bad been expected long ago, and
as the posts ran with great regularity, his
non-appearance began to' be alarming. As
hour after hour passed, and the darkness
approached, the poor girl, who had been
walking the floor, going to tlie wiudow to
look out every few minutes, could no longer
maintain silence.
"I am sure something terrible has hap
pened," she said, wringing ber bands. "1
am sura of it."
Her mother tried to cheer her though her
self lorn with doubt "Perhaps," she urged,
"the sledge has broken down between two
post stations; that would cause delay in
getting another"
"Do you think so?" cried tho daughter,
eagerly. "Do you really think so? But,
oh I mamma, that would compel them to
cross the forest after daik,and you know the
wolves have been so thick there tbis terrible
winter."
Alas 1 the mother for an hour past, had
been thinking of this very danger. What
could she say to comfort hor child ?
"Only last week," cried the girl, with a
shudder, slopping in her wulk again, "they
devoured a poor Moujik, as you know, who
bad been belated "
"Yes I I know, dear. But it's not likely
Carl would venture after night j they would
n't let him at the post station. Try to bo
quiet, my love. Bright and early, to-morrow,
he will be here." ,
"They couldn't stop him at the station.
You know that, mamma, as well as I do.
You tell me to be quiet," wringing her hands,
"to wait 1111 morning. I s!all die from
suspense before morning. Even now"
But she broke down, covering her face
with her hands, shuddering.
"At tho worst, be will be armed," inter
sed the mother, "He was the best shot
at Biden-Badcn, as Alexis has often told us.
Come, rest your head on me dear ; don't
give way so; I'm sure all will be right-
Abl here comes Alexis himse'.f. I have
been wondering where he was. He will tell
you there is no danger."
The brother, a tall, handsome man, with
that blonde German beauty that so many
of the Russian upper claisea possess, came
up to his sister with a quick step, and,
stooping down, kissed her, speaking in a
voice of assured confidence that carried com
fort In its very tone:
"Look up, Olga, dear, look up," he said,

ing through the forest us far as the post
station on the other side. We shall be sure
lo get news there; oven If we don't meet
Carl halfway."
The girl threw her arms about ber broth
er's neck and burst into a leropsst of tears
and sobs.
"Oh I thank you, thank you," she cried,
In broken words. "You always were brave,
you nlwiys were goal. But there," surlug
ing suddenly awny from him, "go, go, every
minute is ptecious."
A moment after the sledges were heard
driving swiftly away, the bells of the horses
ringing out and the torches, of which cacli
slcdgo carried two, lighting uptbe scene till
it was almost like day
Alexis,like his mother, was mnro alarmed
than ho would admit. The nlghthad now
fallen, but the forest was lit up by the many
torches, and was eminently picturesque : fir
trees heavily laden with snow ; dark clouds
overhead; the whole appearing for a mo
ment in the red glaro and then fading into
darkness behind. Suddenly Alexis started
and turned to n brother officer who sat at
his side, one of the guests who had been bid
den to tho wedding, and who bad vulun
teered to accompany him.
"Hark 1" he said. "What Is that? Great
heavens! not the wolves?"
For that terrible sound, which startled
Carl was now heard by tho others. It was,
however, still fur distant.
"I hope the baron has not ventured into
tho foiest," said tho officer. "If so"
"II so," Interrupted Alexis, "they ere
pursuring him. I know that cry well, it is
their cry of the chase."
"Forward, then," answered tho other;
"not a minuto is to bo lost. Whip up, you
sluggard."
Tlie Moujik, thus addressed, lashed up
his horses, which brolio into a fierce gallop
"Listen," cried Alexis, a moment after,
that was surely a rifle shot. It is he."
But though they both listened now, in
tently, they heard no second shot.
"You must have been mistaken," said the
officer, drawing a deep breath of relief. "I
hear the lufernul howling, but nothing
clso 1
"No I there it is ugaln. Great God, we
shall be too late. Thero must be hundreds
ot them, from their noise. No single rillo
can keep them buck. Forward, forward."
And he rose lo his feet and, seizing tho
Moujik'a whip, himself lushed tha horses.
"Yos, thero it is again. How galloutly
he fights," cied the officer. "Oue, two,
three. He has a breech-loader'
But it lias no elfect. He wouldn't be
firing so often if it had. He must be miles
nway, the sound is ao remote. Oil I who
will break tho news to Olga?"
"Nothing," said the officer, "Is so decept
ivc as to distance than sound in an attnu.
phero like this, half laden with snow. It :'a
as misleading as sound in a fog."
At that instant their horses, which had
been tearing along at the maddest speed,
suddenly shied wildly almost upsetting the
sledge. At the same moment a dark, tu
imiltuous mass rushed out of tho forest just
ahead, and swept on like a black, tempest'
driven cloud.
"It is a neivipock," said tho officer, leap
ing also to his IccKand shading bis eyes as
ho peered into the gloom ahead, down the
long, straight, and seemingly 'endless forest
road. "No wonder the horses shied. Ha!
I see him by the flash of bis rifle shot, die
is alone. The snow is black with wolves
before and behind. Oh I for a minute more
of time.
He bad cocked bis own rifle as he spoke,
but waited to fire, for the light that had
been shed on the see no ahead by the flash
of Carl's riflo had faded and now all was
darkness in the distance there, the torches
as yet, foiling lo penetrate so far through
the gloom.
Alexis also stood erect, with cocked weop.
on, while the Moujik lashed tho horses,
again and again, furiously. Both the young
men held their' breath in the excitement.
All at onco the awful clamor ahead broke
into a wild crescendo, that curdled their
very blood. Then followed a moment of
death-like silence. This was succeeded by
a sudden breaking away of the gloom in
front, the darkness rolling off in what
seemed wave on wave of lurid mist as they
dashed up and their torches illuminated the
scene.
"The sledge is down," cried the officer,
in uncontrollable excitement. "The horses
are struggling under an avalanche of
wolves. I see nothing of tho baron 1
"Yes, there he is," interrupted Alex!)
with a shout of exultation, that ended with
a catch of the breath that was almost a sob.
"He was onlv for a moment borne down.
He is on bis feetagaln. How he swings hi
sabre, right and left. He has cut a circle
clear about hltn. It is but for an fnitant
only, however. Firo in God's name, fire.
We must take the risk.
But that instant had been enough. The
other sledges by this time bad come up and
were now seconding the rapid fire with
which Alexis and his brother officer bad ae
companied the words they bad spoken. The
fusilade was incessant, for there was a score
of rifles, and every rifle was a rejieating one.
In less than five minutes not a wolf was to
be teen on foot; but scores lay dead, or dy
ing around. The rest had fled
What an army of them," said Alexis,
kicking a dead monster out of his way,whcn
tbo first congratulation were over. "But the
winter has been unexampled for its severi
ty, and tbey are starving by thousands, and
mad xvith hunger. We have no time to
lose, however. Think of the suspense Olga
is suffering I Here, jump in, Carl. These

and they can go like the wind."
"I owe my life to them, in part," said the
bsron, as he sprang into the sledge, "I
could only have held the monsters nt bay
fur a few minutes longer." He wiped the
blade of his sabre, as be spoke, and returned
it to its sheath. "It was like fighting an
in-coming surf; you mastered one wave,
but another was on you the instant alter.
Nothing but the speed ofyour stallions saved
me. Ah! my poor Wounk, he and his
bones both." lie added this, as he glanced
at the corpses. "I must inquire if ho has a
family, and keep them from want for the
rest of their days."
"And are you not nuni

For many years a rhyme known as "Mo
ther Shlplon's Prophecy" has been quoted
by the superstitious with reverential awe,
nnd it has been so widely circulated us to
bo almost a household possession in all En
glish speaking lands. Eyen tbo least sup
erstitious experience something ekin to a
tremor of uppreheneiou when her lines slip
out from the recesses of memory and stand
in the practical lightof day. Theehronicles
of her time piacothe day of her birth during
the latter part of tho fifteenth century, and
fix ber biitb-pluco at a place called Nase
borough, near the Dripping Well, in York
shire. Her biographer gravely elates that
she was an own child of "one Agatha Ship
ton and Salan, the devil," and describes the
mother as a "simple glrle," who found that
"needs must lie go whom the devil drives,"
and who led a sorry life indeed.
Of the child it Is said : "Her strange and
unparalleled physiognomy was so misshap
en that it is altogether impossible to express
in words, or tho most Ingenious to limn her
in colors. She wos of ind liferent height.but
very morose and big-boned, her head longj
witli great goggling, but sharp and fiery
eye3j ber nose of incredible and unpropor
liouablo length, having on it many crook)
and turnings, with many strange pimples
of divers colors, as red, blue and mixed,
which like vapors of brimstone, gavq much
lustro to her afTrighted spectators In the
dead of the night. Her cheeks were of a
dark, swarthy complexion, much like a,
mixture ol black and yellow jaundice
wilnkled, shriveled, and very hollow. The
teeth stood out in her mouth like the tusks
of a wild boar. Her chin wos uf the satno
complexion as her fiico, turning up toward
her mouth, and shrieks being heard from
an unknown cause, as if thero had been
more than ordinary correspondence between
her teeth and it."
Such Is tho description given of Mother
Shipton's personal appearance in a curious
old book, reprinted in London about ten
years ogo 'fiom the original "Lifo and
Prophecies of Mother 3hiptnn," published,
in 1687. Mother 'Shipton lived to an ex
traordinary uge. A stone was erected to
her memory in the vlclnlly of tfifton and
about a mile from the city of-York. A
design representing an old, decrcpid wo
man reading to a young visitor from'tfie
Book of Fate, Is on the stono, and her epi
taph roads:
"Here lies she who never ly'd,
Whose skill olten has been tr'd.
Her prophecies shall still survive,
And ever keep her name alive."
Following aro the lines composing this
well-known piece:
Carriages without hones shall go.
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thoughts will By,
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonder) do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold bo found at the root of a tree.
Through hills men shall ride.
And no horse or ass be at their side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, (hall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, In blaok, In green.
Iron In the water shall float,
And carry as easy as a wood.n boat,
Oold shall be found, and found
In a land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
Inland shall at last admit a Jew,
The world unto an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
It will bo seen that several of the errntt
here described have been accomplished in
the invention of railroads, telegraphs, Iron'
clads, diving bells, and the discovery of the
power of steam; in fact all have come to.

and the impending end of all earthly things.
We may bo excused for giving such promi

and our only fear is that we will not be

and we are consoled. And now the ques
tion comes, did such a ron as Mother
Shipton exist and did sho make the prophe
cy? Pearsons claims to have an original
copy, printed in 1641, He seems inclined
to credit the rhymes to "one Master Willjiitr
Lilly," who flourished from the year 1602
to 1SS0. Lilly was au astrologer, who dipped
much and often into the curious and won
derful. Other authority says ft was origin

A later luvostlgator, and one lets likely to
bo influenced by sujierstltion, declares the
whole thing an imposition; that the lints

some of the events described bad transpired.
However that may be, the 1881, in which,
