Five years pasted tram the time George Went
worth becerhe a member .of his benefacior's family.
In tae mean time Judge S-- had been detested
by his political opponent, and George had been ini
dated into the mysteries-of the " Art preservative
of the Arts." He became a general favorite with the
citizens, and was Ibuked upon as the adopted son
of the Judge. -It was even whispered in private
circles that he was to be the envied husband of the
beautiful Ida, the Judges only child. gut this
George had not dared to dream of ; •tie true he nev•
er felt so happy as when in her presence, and it did
make his muscles twitch to see the foppish students
from the College, swarm around the unacknow leJg•
ed idol of his heart. Poor you it I hail he known
he nue state of Idal. feellngs, the thought wpnld
have almost turned his brain ; and could he . have
interpreted the gleam of jtiy that flashed frem her
eves whenever he uttered a noble sentiment or sally
of wit, it would have tilled hit soul with euatuey
and delignt.

came to tier relief. In a few moments they were
palely in the hoist is sin, and Ida snort recovered
Irom the effects of her unexpected bath. The old
Judge embraced Getirge, and exclaimed with teary
atailmg from his eyea—
" God bless you, my dear boy, you have saved
my daughter'. life, how can I ever repay you 1”
By saying notWrig about it," replied George ;
" I owe you now a htIORIP/ tal fold mo r e than I can
ever repay, and I am too - "happy in being able to
render you even this slight service."
The lovely Ida could say nothing, her heart was
ovetfloering, but she gazed upon her preserver with
an expression :bat told volumns. Her father ob
served her earnest, loving glance, and began to
guess the true state of affairs. He was not prepar
ed for it and in silence turned the boat towards the
shore. They soon reached home, with feelings. tat
difletent from those with which they started. •
The following morning George reeelved a notice
to receive the Judge in hie library. His heart beat
wildly—what could it mean I
The Judge had deletmined in pat him io &severe
test. As soon u George entered the library, he
commenced—

George was completely bewildered, and stam
mered forth a request to be allowed a few hours for
consideration. This being wanted, he retired to
his room and threw himself on a bed in a paroxysm
of grief Could the Judge have guessed what he

Often at night was the farmer's family aroused
from sleep by the noi.e without, which told that
bruin wasstot m ing the sheep pen or the pig sty, or
laying violent paws upon some unlucky call; and
otters, on a cold winter-night, did they roll a large
lag against the door; and with beating hearts draw

wolf echoed throcgh the eoods.
The wolf is the most ferocious, blood thirsty, but
ciwardly, of all, rarely attacking man, notes& Jilt,.

the utmost pertmacy. The incident which I am
about to relate occurred in the eatly history of
Biddeford.
A man who Olen lived on the farm now occupied
by Mr. H—, was one autumn engaged in felling
trees at some distance from his house. His little
son, eight years old, was in the habit, while his
mother was busy with household cares, of running
out into the fields and woods around the house,
and often going where the father was at work....
One day of er the frost bail robbed the trees of their
foliage, the father left his work sooner than usual
and started for hortie. Just by the eridri of the tor

among the nearest bushes, there to watch the
result.
After waiting a short time, he hoard a roll's
distant bow I, quickly followed by another and an.
other, till the whole woods seemed alive with the
tearful sounds.
The howls came nearer and nearer, and in a
few 'ohm es ii large, gaunt, savage looking wolf
leaped into the opening, closely followed by the
whole pack. The leader amen directly upon the
pile of leaves and in an instant scattered them in
every direction. Soon as he saw the deception,
his look of fierceness and confidence changed to
that of the most abject fear. Ile shrank backieow

for the rest enraged by the supposed cheat, fell up
on him, to:e him in pieces, and devoured him on
the spot.
When they bad finished their comrade, they

A few months since, one el the traveling agents

the agent arrived at the inn, the tandtdrd'is daughter,
Nelly, a blooming country lass 'of 'envenieen, on
the invitation of one of her neighbors, Mrs: Dot
bear, living a copple.of miles distant, had gone to
a quilting ; and on leaving home she 'told het
parents that if she was not at home by eleved o'.
clock that night, 'she would stay with her friend,
Say Dolbear, until the next morning.
AcJoidingly, as the hour was Oat, Nally's par.
ems concluded that she would May all night with
her Wend Sul, as ahe had promised, so -without
any hesitation the agent Wits pot Into possession of
Nolly's rant (her bed inoluded,) which adjoined

undressed himself, taking ore, however, to place alt
the money (about Imo which he had belonging to
his employer, in the pucka% of his pantaloon~, and
put them under his head fur safety ; Cleo as a pro
leaden against robbers, he put a loaded revolver,
ready capped for service under his pillow. Aim,
these arrangements were completed, w i h strong
assurances of safety, lie rented, little dreaming that
he should be disturbed that night.
The quilling.peny at w' ich Nelly wea a guest did
not break up until considerable past midnight,
WllOll somewhat to her disappointment, site fuund
many young ladies who had cattle a much greater

Mar offshould have to go home. So she arranged
With Sissy, who was one of her most Intimate ft tends
that she should go home with her, for company,
and that she should stay at Nelly,s all night.
Under this arrangethent they started in the direc
tion of Nally's home, which they reached other a
walk of about an hour, bringing the time up to
about two o'clock in the morning. Without mak
ing the least noise they effected their entrance by
the back door of the house, and Nelly leading die
way, betook themselies up the back stairs in the
dark to Nell; 's own room without having the
toast suspicion of finding an intruder. As they had
arranged between thematic; to keep from the old i
folks the lateness of the boor at which they arrived

se!ves to retire", wits carried on in a whisper.
The agent's ear, frum lung habit and riches',
possessed nice properties of hearing ; and the win,. I
!faring and light treading awoke him from sleep,
Cud supposing it to be occasioned by robbers, he I
listened to their convoniaticif„ holding his breath I
lest he Cheek' give thorn notici of his being awoke, ,
The girls themselves were a little Brushed et the
Isterfia of Oa lOW, and extremely ensigns that it
ihould be kept Iritrn parent., the(' cones,.
within was upon the beet method of catesialing it
from them, etc. ; the agent caught this pan of
and a put, too, ,itched as his imagination was at
the time, a little startling.
Sally rays to Nelly.-0 1 it is much later than we
should have bfim' ;" to which Nelly replied—
" Yes, it is, but we here got in without disturb.
nig anybody. So. far is all right ; but we must be
quick, or we shalt be discovered, and all will go
Wr1.1114 with us."
The agent was now certain they were robbers ;
and in the dark as he now was, saw nothing before
him but robbery and murder. He grasped his p:s.
tot, mechanically and firmly ; cautiously cocking
it, he prepared for his assailants; directly, he felt a
hand on the bedclothes passing in the direction of
his pillow, under which his money and pantaloons
were laid ; he held his breath, and put himself
1 in a position to reduce the liability of injuring him
self on discharging his pistol, &Id to insure its ef.
feet upon his assailants, supposing lie meted at a
vital tart ; the band continued to pass round the
upper part of the bed, but dal not seem to hit the
particular pillow.
This gave the agent time for reflection. " Shall
11," thought tie, shed blood m protection of this to
fie of my employes', or shall I permit it to be 'Wi
en, and bear the brunt of unjust (as they would be)
suspicions against myself!" This was well—u
Was noble-4er had he fired, endless would have
been his remorse, though the act would have been
legally jus.ificable. But imagine his surprise, when
lie beard a soft sweet voice, %hien ippeared to be
no more than two feet (tom him, say—
" Sae, I can't find my night-cap "
The truth flashed upon him. He had been poi
i Ito Nally's bed during her absence, and the night.
cap fur which she had been searching for in the
(link had been removed by her mothe!'. The eb--
: tot dropped from his tian.l as hisanctively as it hail
been grasped before and it appeared there was a
bit of fun instead if a robbery std murder al-er his
Itarsl day's travel. So, with as Intie noise as pos
sible, he drew titmeell towards that.part of the bed
usually denominated g• backside," where be lay
quietly awaiting the result.
Ship mil soon disroted and ready for bed, but in
getting in she accidentatly put her hand upon the
agent's h - ad.
s. Why, Nelly !” she exclaimed, there's somebody
in the bid, as auto as I am alive."
Qur hero (liar such he ought to be called) was
almost convulsed with laughter.
" It's only little sic, replied' Nally, " she always
