Far away on our right are those pathless funeral grov es where the wolves congregate in hun dreds- To the left rises a ridge of hills sloping down to the river, which is locked up in the iron manacle of the Winter King. Ahead, and right before us—whither we are bound— over waste, and plain, and clearing—lies a snugly-sheltered village, the head-quarters of the "lumberer" and the voyageur. Our destination is not quite so far. ~ , •tid destination is a broadly-spread, low-1} ing larnistead, with its almost num berles “ut-houses, consisting of cattle sheds and dairies, corn stores, roofings for winter hyldei, wood stacks, and other con comitant- surrounding the dwelling, all palisaded by zig zag fences to protect the, cerufortable citadel.

The Canadi an mother and the French father were expressed in her name. Her playful lam bent eyes had exercised their sorcery upon the ere this ; and the modulations of a voice unequalled for its low, soft sweetness completed the young syren's triumph.— This by the way ; for we had exchanged no confidence as yet on a subject very near my heart. - We were bound to a merry sighing party at Windy-gap farm—ostensibly to hunt upon a vast scale, which accounts for my two rifles and amunition lying in the sleigh, and for the noble deer-bound, the third •individual," who had curled up his great body at our feet, and aided to keep them warm. I had known her brother— a young officer in the Canadian Rifles— had killed "bar" at the "Salt licks" with him ; had met Lota and her family on board a St. Lawrence steamer, and was now a guest at their house, enjoying their frank and bounteous hospitality.

But my attent was called away to the creepinf, ctert-ettlar inkiness of the sky. It was light. t et not daylight, butrelso light —to coin a word, the wintry hue of livid darkening steel, always the poreursor to a fierce change in the weather. This only made the long level plains of snow-gleam with a lustre the more daszling and internee. I remarked this, hut with a momentarily divided and wavering sense. I had never. familiar as we had grown (and I was "honest as the skin between your brows." as sA4 was, in fact}---I had never said "dear Lout" before, and the words were yet in my ears like a sweet old burthen.

I never understood. till that moment, what the concentrated essence of literal, deadly horror might mean.

To have lost the way was terrible enough ; but—the wolves:---and Lota: An instant I was numb and dumb. It was true. however. The severity of the weather, the migration or scarcity of tle animals on whom these unclean crea tures preyed had made their hunger a rag-__ ing, devouring madness. They were en croaching on civilized territory, and losing their usual characteristic and craven cow ardice, were approaching the habitation's of men, haunting village and settlement.- Woe to those in their path : As the infer nal howl rose lingeringly again the horses darted away with a shrill neigh of fear, and I guided them—begining torecover myself —in the opposite direction, while "Terror" my noble hound, stood up with every fang bare, and every hair on end, waiting for the enemy be had already scented. If my good hories hail gone on no ad mirably at first, they aped off now like ar rows from the bow r for the madness of fear added wings to their speed, as tfiat of hunger did to our panting pursuers.

I conveyed my intention to Lota. "Can you load these weapons with those - cart-- ridges?" I asked. "Yee," was the ate3wer ; and she loaded a "Fuller" and a "Manton" with true hunter's skill. I took one rifle—looked back—the pack was increasing. I fired, and Lota loaded • and one after another fell, to be devoured by their ravenous corn , rades; and still the horses sped on. - The accursed things were. for all this, gainin4 ground.

I thought. my ears would have split at their dreadful yells, for they were now upon us, opening out to surround us . and though the horses held bravely on, I dread ed every instant that- sbeer terror would paralyse them.

We tore saved; and as I bore her fainting form into the hospitable hall, and clasped her tenderly to my bosom, you may guess how sincere was the gratitude I breathed in silence to Heaven.

Colonel Pitchlynn, for many years the chief of the Choctaw Nation. He has long been in the habit of visiting the federal capital during the sessions of Congress.

It turns out now that the expose which gave such ofWice to the Order, was not written by Curtis,. but by his wife, who comes out with an avowal of the fact, and gives it as her opinion that the Sons are not to blame for his disap pearance. Mrs. Curtis writes a very amusing ac count of Mr. Curtis and a Mr. Smith be coming Sons of Malta, and the natural curiosity of herself and Mrs. Smith to_find out the secrets of tbi• order. The two la dies agreed to have themselves proposed as members, and got Mrs. Smith's cousin to attend to the matter. "Well." Mrs. Curtis goes on to say, "we were proposed and elected, and Joe came down into the store where we were and told us, so we hurried through with the dressing, and went up to the ante-chamber and sat down all in a row. We hadn't eat there long before two men came out to us, from the inside room, all mused up in gowns; and having a kind of tin hats on their heads which covered their faces. They asked us for $5 each ; and Joe handed aver the money for us and himself, as we had given him nearly our amounts, and promised him thereat soon." Then there came two more men like the other two, whb formed us in to a line, (they call it a single tile,) and told us to walk right along. They bad swords, and one of them walked before Joe, who •Nas in front, while the other walked behind me It was dark, or nearly so, when we paesed in.

Now hold up your right hand, sir !—take this life preserver and—." Here he gave me a push and I went over backward, and as soon as I alighted I went up again, flying—then down and up in the same way,, until I thought all my brains were flying out of the top of my head, and then everything swam round and round until I did 'not know anything at all, for I had fainted. The next place I found myself was in the ante-chamber, or rather, just being led into the ante-chamber by two men, and I was first conscious that I must have been sitting in a bath tub with my clothes on. I think that the cool air brought me to my senses. The two men looked very scared and sorry. I looked about for Mrs. Smith and Joe, but they hia gone as soon as they heard the noise made in inliVairtro me. 1 asked one of the men if Mr. Curtis was in the lodge. The man said he was. I said 1 would like to see him a minute. The man went into the lodge roclm, and pres ently out came my beautiful husband, all muffled up. I just whispered a word or two in his ear, and maybe he didn't pull off his gown and hood in short order, and walk home with me. He left rue that night in anger and mor tification, and I have not wen him since, But then he had no need to be angry, be cause he has always known that f have been in favor of "Women's Rights," and have always held that women are as capa ble as men. But when it comes to the - Sons of Malta" I think Women's Rights' is a failure ; they ram lot do it.
