My heart has yearned, like other hearts, With all the fervor Youth imparts; ._ ---And - all the warmth' that - Feelinilirida ---- Hes freely cherished '•troupe of friends." A change has passed over them and me, We are not as we used tobe; My heart, like many another heart, Sees old companions all depart. I mark the names of more than one, But read them on the cold white stone ; And steps that folloWed where mine led, Now on the far - offdesert tread ; The world has warped 'some souls away, That once were honest as the day ; Some dead—some wandering—some untrue— Oh I old companions are but few. Bat there are green trees on the bill, And blue flags sweeping o'er the rill, And there are daises peeping out, And dog-rose blossoms round about. Ye were my friends "long, long ago," The first bright friends I sought to know ; And yet ye come—rove where I will, My old companions, faithful still. And There are sunbeams, rich and fair, As cheering as they ever were ; And there are fresh winds playing nigh, As freely as in time gone by; The birds come singing as of yore, The waves yet ripple to the shore ; Howe'er! feel, where'er I range, , These 014, companions ;fever change.

But be we sad, or be we gay, With thick curls bright,or thin locks gray We never find the spring bloom meet Our presence with a smile less sweet.

Miscellaneous Selections, A Race for Life. Forty years ago, my father's family set tled in one of the counties of central New York. AII was a wilderness, wild and beau tiful. We located fifteen miles from the furthest pioneer. The woods were around .utiotte tall trees and tho picturesque !noun.. tams. We have opened a space in the forest: and a cabin of the good old time afTorded. us shelter. It looked new and comfortable, and its chimney . smoke curledgracefully up and vanished with The shadows of the forest. The blackened beape smoked and crackled, and deep in the . wildwood solitude the-wil derness blossomed in die presence of yellow harvest. A happy. home was there. The birds sang at earliest morn, and—the deep river near the door murmured sweetly at nightfall,' There WETU gentle whispering's in the old:trees. . As thetbowed their heard in: the svindso holy mahout floated up from the vast.tomples where nature breathes fresh I r•-!6Ju ALLENTOWN, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., MAY 18, 1853. and pure from the hands of God. The wild flowers, bloomed even .by the very door sill, and the deer stopped in the forest to gaze upon the smoke of the chimney top. .Twas a beautiful.home in the old wilderness. The Spring brought ,us neighbors.- ITwas-a-great-day-when -a-settler-came-in and purchased land across the river. He received a warm welcome from pioneer hands—a comfortable log cabin peeped.out from the - dense - woodland of the opposite bank. I watched the smoke from the open roof as the stm went donin, and eagerly look ed for the 'next morning. But it was not the smoke that I cared so much about. I only knew that it curled upwards from the fire-side where dwelt as beautiful a creature as ever bloomed away from the busy world. And so I watched the stroke, and dreamed as I watched by the river, until the moon threw down its beautiful pathway of shining silver, and listened to the sound of familiar footsteps. Across the river was the home of Carry Mason. Before the mellow haze of autumn had dropped its dreary. hue on leaf and stream, I had learned to love her, and to tell her so in the still moonlight of that hidden home. • The !eaves faded and the winter winds swept through the forest. But •we cared little for that. The snow fell thick and fast, but hour hearts were alive with happiness and hope. When -the spring opened the birds returned, we were to be married. A winter evening party in a new coun try. , Did you ever attend one, render ? There are large hearths and open hearts to be found. - . Carry .end I 'were invited to attend the party; a rude 'jumper" had been built and' in this we started. Ten ~,miles were' sbon passed, and. we found oursekekinzas merry, and ha ppy a throng as,.etter,, , ;gittlitire.di on a frontier., The:. hype :I/re-eraOkle . iltin: the: wide hearth, and the ufd fush!orx'fult and; ; frolic rang out until it late hour.- The moon had gone down , When we 4, started for home, and the snow began. to fall ; bet we heeded . it not, for we- talked fast as the stout horse speed on the forest I path. Carry grasped my arm and whispered, 'hilt.' The wind shrieked, over the top of the dark pines, and I laughed at her fears. But she nestled closerto my side and talked with less glee. En spirit of all my efforts, a shadow would creep over my own spirit. The road wound among a dense growth of pines which shot upwards, and veiled even the sky from our path. The Old pines swayed and moaned. in the increasing storm, and the snow fell fast and thick. I touched the horse with the whip and ho moved briskly through the woods. Again Carry grasped my arm. I heard nothing save the stormond yet I was startled as the horse gave'a quick snort and -struck into a gallop. With a heart fall of happiness, I had not yet dreamed of any danger. Again the horse snorted in alarm. There was a sound above the storm. I felt my cheeks grow white and cold, and the blood rushed quickly back to my heart. Clear, wild, terrible, it burst out in an unearthly howl like a wail (rorn the world of fiends. I herd it Its dismal, heartchilling echoes had not died away on the storm, when it was answered from a scorn of throats. Merciful God ! a pack of wolves were around us. In those dark woods at night and the storm howling overhead, a scorn of hungry throats were yelling at each other on the feast. For a moment my senses reeled. But I felt Carry leaning heavily on my shoulder, and I aroused. - But what hope was there ! I had no weapon, and the maddened devils were in the path before and behind us. There was but one chance, and that was to rush ahead, There was a slim chance, and.l grew sick at thought of Carry. The quiet cabin and the happy hearth at home flashed through my. brain. At that moment a dark shailow glided up by the side of our sleigh, and so wild and devilish a yell I have never heard since.— My flesh crawled on my bones. A cold shiver ran to my heart and crept to my head 83 though the hairs were standing on end. Two eyes glared out like denten lights, and I could hear the panting of the eager beast. Finally grasping the lines and shouting sharply to the horse we shot way. The horse needed ''no - urging. At the act the internal chorus again burst out in oar nest, and their dark forms leaped in length ened strides on either side of us. The /peed was fearful, and•yet 'the yelling kept pace. Turning to speak'to Carry I saw a dark form leap into the path, and as we sped ahead, his tecth shut with vice-like snap, missing Carry, and stripping her shawl from her shoulders. With a shriek she clung to me, and with my arm saved her from being dragged out of her seat. - I became maddened—reokleae.

Here was a. difficult place, and there. was not only danger of upsetting, but of being hurried into-the-river. • There was a path across this angle of land. _ Where-logs'imtl-been-drawn'outr----It-was-a mile nearer thfs way to a clearing than by the river. But I durst not attempt it with a sleigh. On we sped. That infernal pack neck and neck with us, and every now and then their jaws shutting like steel-traps close to our persons. Once around that angle, I should hopes: Heaven ! the infernal devils had Crossed ahead and hung in dark masses. A demon instinct seemed to possess them.—A few rods more ! The wolves seemed to feel that we had% chance, for they howled more dev ilish than ever. With it sweep, the horse turned in spite of mei , •The left runner struck high on the roots of a pine, and the sleigh swung over like a flash, burying us in deep snow.— Away sped the horse, and my heart sank as I herd his quick -- footsteps dying out to wards home. The mad‘lened pack had followed the horse, and • shot by us as we were thrown out upon the bank, for a number of rods,— A shriek from Carry arrested them in their career ; in an instant they were upon us. - I gave one long despemte•shout, in the hope of arousing the folks in the cabins.. I had no time to shout tiortiy. Their breath bur ned upon me, and e 'their dark masses gather ed around like the shadows of doom.

Carry with one arm, and dashed recklessly out upon the pine. I thought not of danger ; I cared not. I braved one danger. to escape a greater. I reached the branches. I breathed more free as I heard the fierce howl of the baffled pack. I turned my head, and, God of mercy ! a long shadow was gliding along on the trunk of our last refuge. • Curry was help less and it required all the strength of.des pair to hold her and remain upon the slip pery trunk. I turned to face the wolf— he was in reach of my arm. I struck with my fist, and again those fearful jaws shut with u snap, as my hand brushed his head. With a demoniac growl he fastened upon the shoulder of Carry. 0 ! for help—fora weapon—foothold on earth, where I could have grappled with'the monster. I }ward the long fangs cranch into the flesh, and the smothered breathing ns the wolt.• continued to make sure his hold ! ! it was horrible t . I beat him over the head, but he only deigned a munching growl. I yelled, wept, cursed, prayed, but the hungry devil cared not for curses or prayers. His companions were still howl ing and whining, and venturing out upon the pitto. I almost wished the tree would give way. The wolf still kept his hold upon Carry. Nono can dream how the blood hissed and swept.through my knotted veins. At last the brute, hungry for his prey, gave a rend] and nearly threw mu from the pine. Carry Was helpless and insensible. Even the cranehing teeth of the monster did not dwa ken her from the deadly swoon into which she had fallen. Another wrench was made by the wolf and Carry's waist slipping from my aching grasp,leaving me but the hold upon the skirt of her dross. The incarnate devil had re leasetrfils hold, but as if aware of the dan ger beneath, retained his grip on the shoul der of Carry. The end had coma ! My brain reeled ! The long body of the wolf hung downward lilce a darn shadow into the abyss, fast wea ring out my remaining strength. The blood gushed warmly from my nostrils and a light danced and flashed across my eyeballs.-- The-overtasked muscles of the hand would relax and us instantly' close convulsively upon the eluding skirt. I heard a tearing as if of stiches. The black mass wreathed and wrenched as if to deepen the hold. A sharp cracking mingled with the noises in mylead, and the dress parted at the waist. I shrieked as I heard the swooping fall of the black devil and his victim, as they shot down,• down, into the darkness. I heard something like the bay of the old house-dog and the firing of guns 7 -and heard no more. Weeks and months passed away before the fearful delirium of that night left me. I returned to consciousness in my fathers cab. in, an emaciated creature, es helpless as a child. My youth had, passed away, and I wear prematurely old: Thu raven locks of twenty years - had changed to the silver ones of eighty years Of age. Look at this arm that clung to Carry ! It is withered:- I hive never raised tt since that night.

The'empty and broken sleigh told a brief story. The howlin g of the wolves arose.cmfhe_blast,_and with_guns_and the old house dogoheTrushed towards.thesad scene. They found -me senseless 'upon the trunk, covered with blood, and a wolf feeling his way towards me. In turning at. the sound of their appoach, he slipped and went down upon the ico. I thank God for that. Our people looked long for Carry Mason but did not find her till next morning.— Then they went down on the ice and found her corpse. The wolves had not picked her crushed bones. The fall partially broke the ice, and the oozing water had frozen and fastened her long black hair as It had floated out. The wolf had not released his deathgrasp, and his teeth viers buried in her pure white shoulder. The spring sunshine and birds and green leaves had come 'again as I tottered out.— My sister led me to a grave'on the river's bank, the grave of all my youthful :hopes, and all that I loved. The wildflowers were already starting on the sacred mound.—l wept over them and blessed them, for they were blooming over the grave of Carry. Another Yankee Trick. 'The critter loves me !

But if I don't spite his fun, my name aint Jonathan. I'm goin down to the city by the railroad next week —and when I come back, wake snakes that's The above soliloquy may serve to give the reader some slight idea of the laid, in the pleasant rustic village where the spea ker resided. Mr Jonathan Doubikins was a young far mer well to do in the world,and looking out for a wife. and had been paying his ad aresses to Miss Susan Peabody, the only child of Deacon Elderberry Peabody, of that ilk, with a fair prospect of success, when a city acquaintance of the Peabody's one Mr. Cornelius Gusset, who kept a retail dry goods shop in Hanover Street, Boston, had suddenly made his appearance in the field, and had commenced the cutting out game. Dazzled with the prospect of becoming a gentleman's wife, and pestered by the rm• portunities of her aspiring mamma, the vil lage beauty had begun to waver, when her old lover determined• on a last and bold stroke to foil his rival. He went to the city and returned ; of his business, there he said nothing—not even to a pumping maiden aunt who kept house fur him. He went not near the Peabody's but labored in his dornfield patiently awaiting the result of his machinations. The next day, Mr. Gusset was seated with the old folks and their darter in the best room of the Peabody mansion. chatting as pleasantly as may be, when the door open ed, and in rushed a very dirty and,funota Irish woman. . . . .Is it there ye are, Mr. Cornelius Gusset!
