AN: AFFRAY. WITH WOLVES.
One or the most muscular, power
ful full-limbed
.settlers 6,1 the New
York frontier, a century since, was
Heinrich Kaupmann. His arms were
like Piston-rods and he could drive
his huge mallet fists with such tre
mendous momentum as to fell an oz
self struck by a thunderbolt.
It is, said that once he was caught
hi two iron-muscled Mohawks, each
armed with knives, while. Heinrich
had wither ; yet at the first onset he
fractured the skull of the foremost
Indian, and -bore the second to the
earth as if he was nothing but an
infant. That Indian. never resumed
his perpendicular again.
All 9f this is by , way of introduc
tion to au adventure that Kaupiqann
once had with a pack of wolves, and
which came fearfully nigh having a
fatal result for him. i!
The winter of 17— was unusually
severe one throughout thei Northern
States, and many , deaths .fro p expo
sure and. starvation occurred before
the opening of spring. The wolves,
bears and wild. animals became near
ly famished from hunger, and hi con
sequence, were unusually fierce and
courageous. They came down from
the mountain, and woe to the sheep
fold that- was left unprotected during
the night. They were sure to be-in
vaded by the starving animal, - and
not a sheep would live to tell , the
tale. ,
There were tracks around the barns
where the
,wolves had trotted all
night in their search for hoine means
of entrance ; their "howls could be
heard through the still, cold hours,
and more than one housewife had
been chased to her verY door by im
prudently venturing forth at night
fall. .
Many of the settlers sat ia the up
per-story of their houses, and amused
themselves, hy
.shooting the wolves,
for whose scalps the Government had
a Mending bounty of several, shif
Bags. °
Heinrich' Kaupmann remained at
home; only venturing
,forth to attend,
to his dumb , iinimab3, and to see that!
they were properly protected daring
the night. But after a while, his
stock of groceries became briv, and
finally gave out faltogether.- True,
he and his family 'could live on the
poultry, sheep, and animals they
owned ; but it was rather unpleas
ant to be without tea, coffee, sugar,
Balk/And many other articles that
were more necessities than-they were
luxuries. •
By this: time, too, the roads had
ben travreed so muchi„ that- tkey.
were ,thoroughly, broken, and Hein-,
rich concluded to harness up the
mare to-his sled and' go 'to the vit
lege, about four miles distant, and
procure the articles .he so dwell`
needed.
With a Want of foiesight which
he never "could explain, he started
upon his journey without any weap
on • except a keen edged hatchet,
which he carried in case the sled
would give out, In the house hung
his trusty rifle, but neither he nor his
wife seeme d to imagine that there
would he any call for it, and he drove
cheerily away, bidding his wife a
merry good-by, as his mare went at
a spanking gait down the , road to
w;ritkiic th e village. •
e latter place--which 'might
More _ roperly be termed a settle
ment,—reached in due time, the
Fkioce v
.ries l bought, and everything
vi ists
Iliflll in remit to Askmew hoard.
'Heinrich h •- , . storm-bound so
long in his house that he found the
companionship of . ' Mends at the
Village titian *my a 1 ...: able. There
Was so , much to - talk a' 'tit, so much
news to listpn to, such a , uantity of
giiesip regarding the &fat - alb)
neighborhood, that the time lipped
unconsciously by, until, `'wliithe
.aree to go, he found it ?Jewet t ,.
! Still he had no fears, as his wife
"'mild understand that• he had te
unified at the village, - and there was
no necessity .of his :"immediate., re=
he turned homeward it l ed left
the yibehind him, and noticed
'thi . it Wed light- by„which he Was

what stupid *Cary; Was beguiled •
into drowsiness by 'the. easy gliding.
motion of the sled.
Re was hilt Wei,: and;udt . con
scions, when`- he became .sensible,of
the rapid 'increase of the motion of
the sled. He fit it jerk several
times beneath lam anti all at once a
fiercer jerk than usual accompanied
by a neigh - of terror, effectoSly.
'aroused him, and he sat bolt upr ight
and !Coked around. Ha 'looked in
front ; all 'wore its wonted appear:
ance ; a wild: straggling rece of
wood, Standing two feet deep ip
snow, the narrow track twisank
through it ; the heavens cold 'land
clear, the earth white ;r: but close he
'hid,the -sled were three sauntiani
malt,. cantering . headily, while a
fourth was fast gaining behind. •
The jaws of the leading wolf, ow.
int to the lowness- of the sled, were
within reach of Heinrieles,shouldor.
But the latter cared little for this.
The brutes were after the Mare, arid
upon her, courage •• and fortitude de
peeded- the escape of herself and
master.
.. If the alarmed creature could have
the nerve to keep steadily onward in
the track she had a good-chance of
eluding her pursuers ;for the me
meat the welves sprang outside the
road to pass the sleigh; the depth bf
the snow so diminished their speed
that they fell behind.'
But
But should the mare, in her terror,
spring aside and plunge into the
snow, Bauman knew it , was all up
with both of them!' Such a.proceea
ing would disentangle her from the
sled, and before she could , flounder , a
dozen rods through the snow,' the
Wolves would •be tearing her to
shreds.
Heinrich leaned forwald and,spoke
kindly to his animal, which raised
her ears that were flat with terror,
and felt into a more even pace. He
then turned, and braudishiug his
keen-edged hatchet shouted to the
brutes, but he did not' discomfit them
in the least. •
Reaching forward, he patted his
mare with the hand that belt -the
reins, while he 'held the hatchet in
the other, and kept his eye' upon the
ferocious bruteit However, he ;
.ns the weapap'; the -closer' the
wolves kept tellies sled, the less they
were 'seen by the horse; :and as-a
consequence, there, wits the less pro- .
-bability of the terror becoming un,
controllable,\and her; breaking-aside
from the path. -
So long matters retained their
!relative position, Heinrich felt that
!all was. going well. •
I ' It' was not long before. the; wolves
:discovered that i there was-littlef•ros
nect of success so long as they re
mained in the track, , and they now
began,springing aside and attempt

The diStance from home was rapid

to carry the sled at full speed,. until
the fear of overturning became again

THE PYEAUUDS OF. EGYPT.
! BY . azy. W. a. ..4Dwza,x,
We went to the Pyramids. We
had long wished to 'Beet:teen-massive
definitions . of 'colpssal „magnitude.
Ma 4 travelers have been there be
fore us. But it was an eventful , day
n. ofil - Personal history from its vast
'storic associations. It was early
morning when we left Cairo. We
took a carriage for' our party of five
to the 'Nile; and then our. five don
keys went over with us in the same
boat. Our donkey ,Fide to the Pyra
mids was about .half , way' between
the sublime and iridiculeua. Our
stalwart little dmikek• galloped over
the Nile plains and -aincing the lux
uriant wheat fields s tearing rate,
with a good load of , humanily on his
back The Pyramids seemed toles- ;
sen in - their magnitude AB' we ap
proach them ;,and, we
,began to feel 1
half vexed that, we hd , come so far
to nee them. But, when , Vie. came to
stand at their mighty base, they .rose
up before us in all the Impiesetfe
nese of
. Alpine.grandeur and magni-.
ficence. Wei felt awe-stricken in
their presence. They - vindicated "
their own • claim -to.' Colossal magni
tude; .
At length we girded our loins for
the upward -march. The - air was
:cool, and a delightful' canopy of
elotids, spread over the sky , 'providen
tially, shielded Ili 'from the rays of
an Egyptian sun Three nimble
Arabs aided our hpatanity, and we
beached the lofty summit, of. the Pyr
amid- with comparative ease and
high mental excitement. NVe stood
on this highponument of the Mighty
past. Forty centuries, have looked
down from this height upon the ant-.
Founding,- world and upon passing
generations. •And we, looked down
also and felt how frail a thing is man.
It is a gOodilace to learn himility.
In full view, a little way off, was the
fierce Battle grennd- of "the Pyra
mids," where the oldNapoleOn fought
the Egyptians in a k vain attempt at
the conquest of Egypt.' We ran our
best pair of eyes far , up and
,' - down ,
the Nile, and ever its broad, luxuri
ant'wheat ,fields on either bank.
Yonder is old Memphis, or where she ,
had her home in her early Jaye( of
primeval splendor, in NI view. But
now her glory has long since depart
ed., She sleeps in her lonely grave,
amid the dust of bygone ages.l We
looked far out upon the Lybitui des
ert-,--desolate, barren, silent as the
grave-of 'centuries, treelesi, leafless,
as if the angel of desolation • had_
chosenit for his perpetual home.
We' turned our eyes • southward
over the great Sahara of Africa, and
felt its sad, full meaning in Our in;
most Soul; grateful to God that we
were not left to wand er alone, with
out chart'or compass,' over its wide,
desolate wastes. Welooked down --
at our. feet, around, the base of this
mighty %tructure, sod found we were
standing amid the grand mausoleum
of past generattopt The. tombs Of
ages met- one solemn, a
mighty city of thei. dead. This vast
pyramid is the city place of a dead
monarch, where',.he sleeps, or did
sleep, but where . he- needs no com
mon council to= execute' his edicts of
high behest. Death is new the Mighty
monarch of these realms. But yon
der, nine miles away -over the Nile,
is old Cairo, old and new,.with teem
fag multitudes of living, restless
humanity traveling along life's ...jour
ney in the same track after the Ceunt
less. generations that have gone be
fore theta tot the Slumbering cities of
the dead.. lintWe must not linger,
nor moralize; even here.
This Pyramid has the- form of a
truncated cone, diced. off at the
height, of four:hundred: and eighty
feet, leaving an area of - thirty feet
'square on the - summit, which . wel
-thought a good place tebuild a house,
in which to read and write history.
But we could -not tarry„ and so
..we
descended with ease and 'comfort to .
'the ground, while our mind had gone
off on a long. journey among ancieut .
centuries. We- were invited to en
