He spent his timenn the woods, and never brought in anything but wolves' scalps.— There was a fierce burning look in his eye' as he flung them upon the ground. and he would sit for hours after one of his excur sions with his head bowed between his hands. As unsonial im was the squatter, he was respected tot all who had come in contact with him., He was brave to madness, and yet as coot in danger as in his camp. Nor wua there anything rough in his manners; on the contrary, there was an easy beat ing--almost elegance—which bespoke day of education and refinement. And when he dui speak his language was well chosen. Blair had other qualifications which won the respect of the hardy spirits around him. He was six feet high, broad shouldered, full chested, and form erect, and his limbs were models of symmetry and strength ; his hair and board had grown unshorn since we had known him, and were thickly s 'tinkled with gray. But the forehead, though darkly bronzed and deeply seamed, was almost massive, and the head of fault lees mould. The eye was dark, lustrous, and in excitement, of peculiar and fascin ating power. Around his neck wassome sa cred token, which no eye had seen, and which ho guarded with a jealous care. There was something about the old man —his commanding presence, hie bravery, .inci his lonely habits and sad manner— which won my / young heart, and I watched (eery opportunity of manifesting my re gard. I had engaged him to guide me to the Mississippi, by the way of Prairie. For several days we threaded the dense forests which intervened, and under great difficulties. The snow had fallen to an unusual depth, the cold was intense, and rendered more intolerable by the fierce wind from the prairie waste. We were warmly dressed, but there were times the weary frame began to feel the dreary influ ence of the sleep which steals so fatally over the senses. On the night in question we had turned aside to seek the shelter of a grove of small umber, and to find fuel for our fire. We had faced the blinding storm all day, and could hardly keep sufficiently awake to kindle the fire and secure wood for the night. We had just acZomplished this when the hunter made the exclamation at the head of our story. 1 was awake at once, and the blood tingled through my vein, for I knew that Luke Bleir would not so speak without cause. Hark 7" The word was but a whisper, but had a terrible distinctness. His hand had in voluntarily sought his ride, and his head turned towards the woods I heard nothing but the wild roar of the storm as it, swept by. "There 'tie again ! The devils are on our track !" and he clutched his knife handle with a steady grap, and breathed hardly through his thin nostrils. I heard the noise this time, which had attracted his attention before, swelling; as the storm lulled an instant, into a wild, protracted howl, as from a thousand fam ished throats, clear, dismal, and wading with that fearful tone which startles- the boldest, even at. their firesides. Blair turned, and as our eyes .met he shady whispered-- "A pack of hungry velvet I God have mercy hpon us I" A sickening smut* event like flash to the heart, and duo aaMet bl thoughts ips of home, and again the e • ,sa I I thought of the shelterless prairie land blinding snow. "Again the black devils are OR our tracks 1" As NW' spoke he laid his band upon my arm, and with an expression of sadness which I never shall forget looked me staladft in the eye.

Ido not fear death, -but it is horrible to be hunted down in such a spot as this, and be torn by infernal dev ils." His breath wane thick and hissing thro' his clenched teeth, and his chest heaved with intense emotion. "Here," said he, lifting the soiled string over his head ; and taking a locket attach ed to it in his hand, "is the shadow of one you never knew, but the original wag; once -the light of my young lite, and oome with me to this territory when the world. was bright with hope.

She had not been gone but a little time, when there burst up between me =crone cabin that, long, free zing sound, the howl of a wolf. , It was an swered as if from a thousand throats, up and down the valley, until one wild, start ling, unearthly ho' rl swelled on the still evening air.

The old man sobbed convulsively, and wrung his hands ahtil it seemed that the blood ld wou start from his fingers. "Coming t" Agin, and nearer than before, the dis mal howl rose above the storm. The camp fire burned dizilly in the blinding storm of snow, and a sense of loneliness and terror came over the spirit darker than the;, sky overhead. "Here take this," said Blair, M' he hand ed me the locket, "and Upon survive, ear 'rjr. it to-, New York, and ,I will thank you. Boy, lam not afraid to die. Death will be rest, and I shall see Maria. We must take to the tree. It is freeze, or death by the wolves. Quick, boy I Good. *." We had need to be quick, for we had hardly reached the branches when a score of long, gloogly shadows shot out of the surrounding darkness, and sent up a yell which went to the heart colder than the breath of the wintry blast. They paid but little attention to the dim fire, and scent ing their prey gathered in a shadowy circle beneath us. "Lash yourself fast, boy, and commend your soul to God, for you will freeze, and better to rot on the oak than to be torn by the devils." "It's of no use," he continued, as I sug suggested that the sound of our guns might reach the inmates of the cabin, "they would not hear 'em in the storm and besides, I swear by the living God, that I will send some of them to 13-11 be fore I die." Blair commenced •his deadly work, and SA one of the wolves fell the others-fought and snarled, and gnashed their teeth over the horrid feast. Their teeth sounded, like the smiting of steel upon steel. Still they howled more fiercely a.• the slaughter went on.. "My gun is wet, and will not go," I heard Blair mutter with a curse. -Damn 'ern I'll try them with the axe." My wildly uttered warning was too late, for, as it swelled above the bounds below, with unnatural strength Blair leaped down with a shout of rage and defiance, and with his axe and knife fought thn pack face to face. I grew sick at heart as I watched with burning eye-balls the struggle through - the darkness. I could see the black forms swarming around the trunk, where Blair had backed up. After the first howl of joy, as it seemed to me. When Blair jump ed down, the wolves were less tv,isy, and apparently more wan•, for they seemed to realize that they had an enemy to deal with. I madly called to him, and mut tered curses as I tried to untie the thongs with which I had lashed myself to the trunk. "Ha, ha! glorious sp ort here, toy ; an other dev il the less ! "and his maniac laugh and shout came up scarcely less startling than those of the wolves around him. I knew that he was mad. I could hear the vioe-like jaws close con stantly around Blair, and now and 'then his axe sink with a heavy, crunching sound into scene skull, and then all grew more dim ; a, delicious feelingbf happiness crept over me ; the sounds of the strife below died out, and sweet dreams stole over me. like the Summer's breath. The reports of our rifles had reached the cabin, which, as I after. *anis learned, was not twenty code from Whetre we camped. The inmates, numbering some fourteen, by the addition of emigrants who had stopped in the storm, mine out with dogs and guns, and reached the spot but a moment too late. Blair had lodged his axe so deeply in the head of wolf that the corners remained fast, and the others tore him down. They were lit erally shot down with their fangs holding to the torn Mesh, and his warm blood jet ting over their shaggy skins. The mang led body was snatched from them, and I cut down from the tree and carried to the cabin. was all Winter reoovering from my in juries. The awakening from that dream of death was a terrible awakening, and I suffered more than pen can describe. Blair was buried on the edge of the prairie,. and when I left in the Spring the early Bowers were already springing upon his grave. The old man rests sweetly un der the wide shadow of the old oak. I carried the lookiet to ihrdesiination.— The sister clutched it eagerly, and thanked me, though her heart almost broke under the stroke.

The fair sex was just as crazy as the men, and not a few ladies braved the mud and rain, and jostled at the door for ad mission in right good earnest. The attrac tion was the great "Dead Letter Office Sale," advertised for some weeks to take place on this night. It was announced that the catalogue con sisted of articles aocumulsted in the Dead Letter office tame 1.8.57, (the Department having used effort to find the proper own er4eind being unable to do so,) and they would now be sold for the postage ; the proceeds, if any, after paying the charges to be deposited in the United States Treas ury, subject to order should the proper owners hereafter be found. The articles came from the post aloe in sealed pack ages and no opportunity having, thus been obtained of getting a peep of examination, the bidding was somewhat in the dark, but generally spirited. The buyers naturally supposed that the shit:ilea thus seas by mail as pledges of affection must be about the correct thing in point of value.

She looked tired and weary, but 'there was no vacant place. to be sure, Chailotim might have condensed her Boun ces, but she did not. Beside her however, sat a very lovely and elegant young woman. who seemed trying by moving down closer to others, to make space enough for the stranger between herself and Miss -.
