"God have mercy upon us I" Thies ex
clamation was not more medals than start
ingly uttered, and sent tb4e chills creeping
from the 1. -4 ng heart in-pricking nause
a over in.
- Mystery about him which none ever pene
trated, and an eccentricity of manner
which gave his movegients a peculiar inter
est to his rough bul true-hearted comrades..
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

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

The old man sobbed convulsively, and

"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

*."
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

I after. *anis learned, was not twenty code

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

the others tore him down. They were lit

A stranger in the city would hare been
puzzled to account for the furious• eager
ness displayed last nigh t b' the crowd
struggling to et into iLcOture's auction
room. 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.
The auctioneer said he wotild warrant
nothing ea they wanted to claw the thing
up finally, tut if he knew anything to be
worthless ha would intimate the fact when
•
it was put up. -
A very large portion—perhsps three
%garters—of the articles were pieces of
jeirelry. Of these again a large portion
were finger rings there being no less than
dye hundred and four many of them heavy
plain.;gold melding rings. Then there
werreartingn in say quantity gold pencils
bracelets. gold awl silver wat., chains,

One of the lockets put up for sale, on be
tug opened was found to contain a mina- -
tore. and was immediately withdrawn, as
the Department reserves sill portraits, not
being allowed by the law to them.
There was quite's sprinkling of books.
