A NIGHT WITH THE WOLVES.
" A nuniiicr <>f years ago," said an old
wilier, whom 1 met on mv Western
travels, " I took my family to Wisconsin,
and located myself in the wood*, aixiut
ten miles frion the inarrst settlement,
and at least live from the neareat neigh
bor. Th" country round was mostly
forest; and wild beasts and Indians
were so numerous, that my friends nt
the Kast, to whom I gave a ih-scriptionof
nty locality. < xprcssed great fi-ars for our
safety, am! -aid they should he less sur
prised to learn of our having all la-en cut
off than to litar* of our still being alive
out there at the end of a couple of years.
"However, I did not fee] mad)
alarmed on my own account—and my
wife was as brave as a hunter; but then
we had three children—the oldest only
ten —and sometime*, when I was away
front home, the sudden growl of a bear,
the howl of a wolf, or the scream of a
panther would make me think of them,
and feel quite uneasy.
"For a while, at fir-t. the night
screeching and howling of these wild
animals alarmed the children a good
deal —and sometimes my wife and me—
especially wlien w> mistook t lie ery of the
panilu-r for an Indian yell; but we soon
got used to the different sounds, ami
then did not mind them so much; ami
after I hail got a few acres cleared
around the dwelling, they generally
kept more distant at night—just its t'f
they comprehended that th" place, now
in the possession of their enemies, was
no longer to he an abode for them. Be
side*. I now and then shot one, which
thinned them a little, and probably
frightened the other-, for they gradually
bet ■amc les* hold and annoying.
" During the first year I had two
rather narrow escapes—once from a
benr, and once from a panther; hut the
most remarkable adventure of ali was
the one whi.-li happened during the
second winter, and which I have always
designated :is a ' Night with the Wolvi s.'
, " One bitter oold morning—the ground
being deeply covered with snow, so
enisled and ftozen that no feet could
sink into it—l brought out the horse for
my wife to ride to C . the nearest
settlement, where she had some pur
chases to make, which she wished to
attend to herself. Ik -ides being well
muffled up in lit own clothing, I
wrapped a large buffalo robe around
her; and admonishing her that the
woods were full of danger after dark, I
urged her to he -un- and get back before
suns< t. which she promised to do.
"All day long, after her departure,
from some cause for which I could not
account, I felt very much depressed and
uneasy, as if something evil were going
to hapnen; and when I saw the snn
alsuit half an hour high, and no signs of
mv wife returning. I got out my pistols,
rifle, ammunition and hunting-knife,
■addled a young and rat Iter skittish eolt,
and bidding the children k<-ep within
doors, and the house safely lea ked. I
mounted and rode off to meet her, which
I expected to do at every turn of the
horse-path, But at every turn I was
doomed to disappointment ; and when I
had put mile after mile behind me, with
out seeing any signs of her, I became
more and more alarmed, aud dashed on
■till faster.
" It was just about dark when I saw
the lights of (! gleaming In the dis
tance; hut before I reached the town I
met my wife hastening homeward she
having been unexpectedly detained hy
meeting an old acquaintance, who had
rsrently come on from the Kastwnrd, and
witli whom she had remained to gnflicr
Mm? news and take -upper—the time
Casing away so quickly a* to render Iter
luted lie fore she wn- aware of it.
"I was greatly rejoiced to find her
safe ami unharmed—but not a little
pu/.xled to nocoftnt fot my presentiment
of evil, which it, appeared to me hod
taken place without cause—though in
this respect I was greatly mistaken, as
the sequel will show.
" We now set off at a brisk trot home- j
i ward through a dense, dnrk. gloomy
wood, which lined our way on either
j side—and had safely proceeded about 1
; live miles, when we were somewhat,
startled by a series of long, plaintive
howls, at a coitsidi iable distance, and In
different directions, and which our ex
' perimce told us wore wolves, set min '
calling and answering l n h other thmuglt
the great forest.
I "The wolves of this region were of
| the larger and fiercer species; and though
ordinarily and singly they might not ut
| lack a human being, yet in numbers and
j pressed by hunger, as they generally were
' nt this season of the year. 1 hy no means
S felt certain that we should not be
| molested.
"Aeeordingly we quickened the puce
of our horses and as we hurried on 1 grew
j every moment more uneasy and alarmed
as I noticed that many of the sounds
gradually approached us. We had just
entered a deep hollow, where a few large
trees stretched their huge branches over
a dense thicket, when suddenly there
| arose several loud, harsh, having and
snarling soundselosoat hand. JTienext
I moment there was a quick rustling and
j thrashing among the hushes: and then
j some six or eight large wolves—lean,
1 gaunt and maddened with hunger—
! sprung into the path close liesiitu us.
"This happened so suddenly and un
expectedly that my wife gave a slight
scream and dropped her rein; and the
horse, rearing ami plunging at the same
moment, unseated Iter; and site fell to
the ground, right in the very midst of
the savage beasts, whose glaring eyes
shone in the darkness like so many coals
of fire.
" Fortunately her sudden fall startled
the wild animals a little; and a* they
momentarily drew hack, she. with rare
presence of mind, at once gathered li'T
liutl'alo rolic, which site bad drugged with
her, in such a manner about her person
as to protect herself front the first onset
of their fangs. The next moment tin
ferocious animals, with the most savage
growls, sprung at her, at inc. and at the
two horses simultaneously. Hers at
once shook himself clear of his foes and
tb-d; and mine began to rear and plunge
in such a manner that I could not make
use of a single weapon, and only hy main
strength kept him from running away
with me.
" It was a terrible moment "I exciting
agony; and the instant that I could r<-
leasc my feet from the stirrups 1 leaped
to the ground with a yell—my rifle -lip
ping from my 1 Minds, and discharging it
self by th" concussion, and my stc-d
rushing like lightning after hi* flying
companion over the frozen snow.
"Luckily, I had my loaded pistols and
my knife convenient tt> mv grasp; and
scarcely conscious of what 1 was doing,
but thinking only that the dear mother
of my little ones lay fairly beneath three
or four of the furioti-fv lighting and
snarling wild beasts, 1 grasped tin
weapon*, one in each hand, cocked them
at the same instant, and fairly jumping
Bit ix midst of my enemies, placed the
' muzzle* ngain-t til" head* of two that
had turned to rend ill", and Hn-d tie in
both together.
I " Itoth shots, thank <lod! took effect—
i it could not 1"' otherwim—and a- tie
two wolves rolled howling back in tle ir
death agoni'-s, tle ir-tarvingcompan'ons,
smelling and getting a tat" of tie ir
blood, and instinctively comprehending
that they were now fairly in tle ir pow< r.
fell upon them with tie- nuMt ravcnou
t fury, aud literally tore them to piece*,
t ami devoured them ln-fore my very • ye*,
almost over the body of my wife, and in
less, I -h"uid say. than a minute of time,
i "Ascertaining hy af- w anxious in
• quiri'-s that my wire was -till alive and
unharmed, i had" In r remain quiet, and.
, pi'-king tip my rifle. I pro i-cih-d to load
, all my weapon* with the greatest dis
, patch.
r i "As -wirt a* I had rammed tin fir-t
c hail home I felt tempted to-ho<>t nnotln r
, of the animals; hut at that moment I
, heard a distant howling, and fearing we
should soon be Iw-scj by another pack.
I reserved my fire for the next extreme
. dang'-r and hurriedly loaded the others.
I "By tin- time I had fairly completed
j thi- operation our )irt assailants, having
. nearly gorged themselves upon tleir
. more unfortunate companions. Iwgan to
, slink away; hut the cries of tlie other*
I at the same time growing nearer, wanted
I nic to tie main my guard.
I " I had just succeeded in getting my
• wife more securely rolled in le r prof'* t
f ing robe—a* the safest thing I could do
r iii that extremity—and myself, pistol* in
, hand, in a defensive attitude over her
. liody, when some eight or ten more of
, the savage and desperate creatures made
their appearance upon the scene.
,■ , " There was a momentary pause as
! they came into view and discovered me
, —during which tle-ir eyes glared and
i shone like living coals—and then, with
terrific growl* and snarls, they la gan to
, circle round me, each moment narrow
, ing the spare between us.
, Suddenly one more daring or hungry
- than the others bounded forward and
I received a shot from one of my pistols
, directly between the eyes, and as he
I rolled dm k ti|win the snow a of the
r ottiers sprang upon him, as in the case
l of the fir-t.
"But I had no time to congratulate
, myself that 1 had di*|>os<<d of him; for
| almost al the same instant I felt the lac
j crating fangs of another in my thigh.
I which caused nie to shriek with pain;
and my j*or wife, with an answering
I shriek, believing it was all over with
~ inc. was alxiut to get up and face the
worst, when, shouting to her not to
stir, that I was still safe. I placed my
t pistol against the head of mv assailant.
I and stretched him quivering on the
g | snow also.
, "I -till had my rifle in reserve; ami
j pointing that at the fighting pack, I
poured its content* among tlieni. How
' many were wounded I do not know:
hut almost immediately the space around
, u* lax-ante once more cleared of our
| howling enemies—some limping as they
, Ib-d an<l appearing to be harrassed by
i the others.
4 " Again it appeared to me we had
I met with a wonderful deliverance; and
. though the wound In my thigh was
. somewhat painful, a brief examination
i satisfied me that it would ii"t prove
■serious; and I hastily proceeded to rc
r load iny weapons—my wife meantime
getting upon her feet, embracing nic

In addition to the old-time favorite

a very cheap fabric that has come into

Blue and green, and rose-color and Idue, |
and yellow and reil are combination*
constantly tuft with lim verv sliaile and
tone imaginable. The millinery, too,
partakes of this mingling of colors and
tones. Not only are lion nets and hats

ehapeait, hut the -trau themselves are
hrotlgi't out in fiure tone- of red. liluc.

the shapes of hats and bonnet-, the
variety defies description.
Strange to say, after all this profusion

millinery, nine out of every ten women
that you meet ill tie- streets, at the thea
ter*, receotions, and in the churchi *. are
dressed hi black—not mourning, hut
black—the dress, wrap, l-mnet and veil,
all black. Moreover, there are more
black lace- seen on bonnets in the streets
and In public places than white, and jet
ornaments and black plumes or tips take
the lead on Broadway, Fifth avenue and
in the park. American women show
good taste in this respect. They wear
black when in public, but that to mark
it is not mourning, the black pluute
sluule bright flowers placed in the hack
of '.lie bonnet, and not close to the face,
and their ornament* and jewelry, and a
hit of lace made up into a j'ahotor* .iseade,
show that the wearer is " in color-.
