A's there was a stream of water just at hand, I determined to 'pour water into, the hole until it would bo full, and force the little animal up, so that I might kill 'it.

Forty years ago my father's family settled in ono of the counties of central New York.— All was a wilderness, wild, grand, beautiful. We located fifteen miles from the furthest pio neer. The woods were around us, the tall trees and the , picturesque mousztains. ". We had opened a space in the forest, and a cabin of the good old time afforded us shelter. It looked new and comfortable, and its chim ney-smoke curled gracefully op and vanished with the shadows of the forest. . The black ened heaps smoked and crackled, and deep in those wildwoed solitude 6 the wilderness blos somed and smiled in the presence of yellow harvests. A happy home was there. The birds sang at the, earliest morn, Mill the deep ricer near the door murmured sweetly at nightfall. There were gentle whisperings a mong the trees. As they bowed their heads in the winds,,a holy anthem fleeted up from . the vast temples where nature breathes fresh and pure from the hand of God. The wild flowers bloomed even by the door sill, and the deer,stopped in the forest to gaze upon the smoke of this chimney top. T'was a beautiful borne in the wilder ness." The spring brought us neighbors. 'Twos a groat day when a settler came and purchased land across the river. Ile received a warm welcome from pioneer hearts, and by the ready agency of pioneer hands, a comfortable log cabin peeped out from the dense wood-land of the opposite bank. I watched'the smoke from the open roof i'l3 the sun went down, and ea gerly looked for it in • the morning. But it was not the smoke I cared so much-about. I only knew that it curled up from the fireside where dwelled as beautiful a creature as ever bloomed away from the busy world. And so 1 watched tha - emoke,-aricl dreamed as I watched the river until the moon threw down its beautiful pathway of shining silver, and listened for the sound of familiar footsteps. - "Across tlie rive• was the home of Curry Mason. Before the mellow haze of Autumn had dropped its dreary hue on leaf or stream, I had learned to love her, and tell tier so in the still moonlight of that hidden home. The leaves faded and the winter winds swept through the forest. But We cared little for that.• Tho•snow fell thick and : fast, but our -cabin homes were bright, and our hearts were alive 'with hfippiness and hope. When the spring opened and the birds returned we were to be marriett . - A Winter evening party-in' a new country.— Did you' ever attend one, reader? There' ,are large hearths nod open hearte there to be` ' , found. , Carry and I were invited to attend the par ty ; and a rude 'jumper' bad been built, and in this we started. Ten miles were soon pas sed, and we found ourselves in as merry and happy a throng as ever gathered on a frontier. The huge 'fire cracked on the wide hearth, and the old fashioned fun and: frolic rang out until a late hour. The moon had gone down when we started for home, and the snow began to fall ; but we heeded it not, for we talked as fast as the stout horse sped on tba, forest path. Carry grasped my arm rind whispered, " bist I'The wind shrieked over the tops of the dm k pines, and I laughs at her -fears.— But she nestled closer to my side, and talked , with loss glee. In spite 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 irom our path. The old pines swayed and moaned in the inorensing storm, and the snow fell fast and thickly. I touched the licrito with the whip itind ho moved' briskly through the woods. Again Carry grasped my arm. I beard nothing save the storm, and yet I started as the hOrse gave a quick snort and struck into a gallop. With a heart full of happiness I had not yet dreamed of danger. Again the horse snorted in alarm. There was a sound above the storm. I felt my checks grow 'white and-cold, and the bloodA rush quickly to my heart. Clear, wild, terrible, it burst out in .nn earthly 'howl like a wail from the world of fiends. I beard it. Its dismal, heart chilling echoes had not died away on the.storm, when it was answered from a score of throats. Merciful God! a peek of wolves were around us. • In thoim dprk woods at night, and the storm howling over head, a score of hungry throats wore fiercely yelling at each other on the feast. For a moment my senses reeled. But I felt Carry loaning heavily,on my shoulder, and I aroused. But whet hope was there? 'I had no weap on, and the maddened devils wore in the path before and behind- us. There was but one chance, and 'that was to push ahead. This was a slim whanco, and I grow sick as Lthouglit of Clrry. The quiet 'cabin and the happy hearth at home flashed swiftly through . my brain. . • , ; At that moment a ‘ dark shadow glided up by the sido of our sleigh; and so wild and "dov,el- • ish I have never heard since. Ali flesh crawled on my hones. A acid shiver ran to' my heart and crept to my. head as 'though the hairs were standing on owl. Tw orbs glared: , out like demon lightS, and I could hear the panting of the heart.' Finally grasping the lines and shouting sharply to the horse, we shot.aivsy, _._The horse needed nosUrgit , P._,.i:At the net that infernal chorus again her,'seoht in tinniest, mid : their dark; fortis ; leaped . t,in lengthened strides . en Olthei;' side. of us r speed was, fealdnl, and the Yelling kept pane:' Turning to' Speak to Carry thaw a dark forin lehp the path, and as' we 'sp9d ahOad, his teeth shut:' with' n vice-liliQ' snap, Carry,-and stylpping .

Hero i was a new danger It was a difficult pined, and there was not only danger of upsetting, bat ,of being hurled into 'the river. -,, There was a path across this angle of land where logs 1141'1:leen drawn out It vae', a mile nearer this way to a death*, than by the river. But I durst not attempt it with a sleigh. I On WO sped. That infornal)paoli, nook and neck with us, , and now and then, jaws shutting like steel-traps, close to our persons. Once around that angle, and I should hope. How madly I shouted to the noble brute.- -We neared the turn in-that-race for life. Heavensl the infernal devils•-had crossed ahead and hung in deep masses, A demon instinct seemed to positess them. ." A few rods more: The ivolvm; seemed to .feel that we had a chance, for they howled more devilish time ever. With a sweep the horse turned in spite of me. The left runner struok high on the roots of a pine, and the sleigh -swung over like a flash, burying us in the new • snow, Away sped the horse, and my heart sank as I heard his quick footsteps, flying out towards home. Thu-maddened pack had followed the horse; and shot by us as we 'were threwn out upon the bank for a number of rods. A shriek from Carry arrested them in their career; in en instant they wero upon us. I gave one long, desperate shout, in the hope of arousing the folks in the (lbino. I had no time to-shout again. Their hot bronth burned° upon me, and , ; their dark masses gathered around like the shadows of doom. • With a broken limb, I wildly kept them nt bay for a moment, but fiercer and closer surged the gnashing teeth. Carry lay imionsible on the ground before me. There was one more chance. A stunted pine grow upon the_ outer edge of the bank, and shot out nearly hori zontally over the river below, fulra hundred foot from the surface.' Dashing madly in their teeth with my cud gel, I yelled with the waning: - eMergy of de- Spair; grasped Carry with one arils, and dash ed recklessly out upon the pine; I thought not of the danget.—l cared.not—Lbraved ono danger to escaper a greater. I reached the the branches ; I breathed freer tee I hoard tho' fierce howl of the baffled party. I turned my head, and Clod of mercy !' long shadow was gliding along on the trunk of last refuge. Carry wee helpless, told it requi red alt the strength of Intense despair to hold her and remain upon tlte•slippery trunk, I turned to face the wolf—he was within reach of my arm. I struck with my fist; and again those fearful jaws shut with wa snap, as my hand brushed his. head. With a demoniac growl ho fastened on the shoulder of Carry, Oh! for help, for a weapon—foot hold on earth, where I could have grappled with the monster. I heard .the long fangs crunch into the flesh, and the smothered breathing, ne the wolf con tinued to make sure his hold! Oh, it wee horrible ! I beat him, over the head, but ho only deigned a munching growl. I yelled, wept, cursed, and pVityed, but the. hungry devil oared not for CUII3OB or prayers. llie cotnpanionswere' still hOwling and whining,- and venturing out upon the piuo. I almost wished the tree would gi'o way. The wolf still kept his hold upon 'Carry. None can dream how the blood hissed\ and swept thro' my knotted veins. At . last brute, hungry for hie prey, - gave a - wrenoh,' and nearly throw mo,from the Ono.' Carry was . helpless and insensible. Even the crunolung teeth of the monster did not awaken her from the deathly swoon into which she had fallen. Another wrench waSmade by the wolf, and Carry's waist slipped froMmy aching grasp, leaving me but tlip hold upon the skirt of her dress. The incarnate devil-had \released his hold, but as if aware of the danger beneath, retained hid griPo on the shoulder \ of Carry. The end had come I My'brain reeled !'

CONSTITUTIONAL TALENT There 113 nothing that floats a man sooner into thelide'of reptitation, or oftenei passes current for genius, than what might be called constitutional talent." A man without this, whatever May Ito his worth or real powers, will no more get on in this world than a leaden Mercury will fly into the air; as any preten der with it, and with no ono quality beside to venom - mew/Aim, will be sure either - told - under upon success, or will sot- failure at defiance. By constitutional talent I mean, in general, the vigor and warmth given to a man's ideas and pursuits by his bodily stamina, by mere physical organization. A weak mind in sound body is better, or at least more profita ble than a sound mind in a weak and crazy constitution. How many instances I might quote I Let a man have a quick circulation, a good digestion, the bulk and thewn,and sin ews of aman, and the alacrity, the unthinking confidence inspired by these; - and without an atom, a shadow of the menu divisor, ho shall strut and swaggei and vapor and jostle his way through life, and have the upper hand of those who aro his bettors in every thing but health and'strength.

JOHN RANDOLPH, OUTDONE. Of tho ninny 'amusing anecdotes of this no contrio man of Roanoke, we do not believe the following woe ever imprint: Ho was travelling through a part of Vir ginia in which ho was unacquainted. During the mean time, ho stopped ono night at an inn near the forks of the road. The inn kooper was a fine old gentleman, and no doubt one of the first families of the Old Dominion. Know ing who his distinguished guest was, ho en deavored during the evening to draw him into conversation, but failed in all his efforts. But in the morning when Mr. Randolph was ready to start, ho called for his bill, which on being presented was paid. The landlord still aux.- \ ions to have some conversation with hinibe gan as follows: " Which way aro you travelling, Mr. Ran dolph ?" \" Sir I" said. Mr. Randolph, 'w , l_th a look of displeasure... tolled," said the landlord, "which way you, aro travelling?" , "'Haim paid my bill ?" " Yes." e. ~ Do I owe' you' anything more ?" ..No." IVell, I'm gang just where I please—do you understand?" • I , Yes." The landlord by this time got somewhat ex- Cited, and Mr. Randolph drove off. But to the landlord's surprise, in a few• minutes the servant 'returned to Inquire for hie master, whiellof the forks of the road' to take. Mr. Randolph not being out, of hearing distance, the landlord spoke at the top of hie breath,, IMr. Randolph, you .don't owe mo ono oenti jest take which, road you please." . — - It is Bald that tho air turned Ulu° with the eerßos of Randolph. per."

Well I have seen ypur friend, and find higi robe exaetly what you .derdorbed him as be ing—a humorist.• • He seems to. have imparted much Of that cliaraoterlo everything around him.... His' servants are all, admirably disci plined to second his whims; and his very fin , . nituro is, for the' most . part; ailaPted to the mane purpose. This put mo upon my guard; and theTre was hardly' anything in the room that I did not touch with apprehension. No, trick, however, was practised upon me; and,' as I found subsequently, I was indebted for such indulgence to one which was reserved for mo at night, and which was- Ouch as perhaps all my English phlegm would not have enabled me to bear with patience. I escaped, however, being But to tho proof by the merest accident—the arrival of a poor Scotch survey- Or, who was thought a fitter subject for ; the often repeated experiment. The 'Scotchman was treated with extreme hospitality; ho was helped to everything to excess'; his glass was never allowed to stand full or empty for one minute. The potatioes were suspended. not until, and only while the cloth was laying for supper, during and after which they were resumed with renovated en ergy. Our entertainer was like .thelandlord described by Addison: the liquor seemed to have no other effect upon him than upon any other vessel in the house. It was not . so with this Scotch guest, who was, by thIS time, much father advanced upon the cruise of intoxica tion than half seas over. • In this state lie was 'conducted to hie cham ber—a fine lofty Gothio apartment, with a bedstead that seemed coeval with the building. I say seemed; for that was by no moans the case, it being in realitY:a modern_ piece of struature. ' was of dark mahogany, with its four posts extending completely to the oellirig of the chamber. The bed however was not more than two feet from the floor, the bettor to enable the•party to get into it. The Scotch man with a good deal of assistance, was soon undressed and had his body - deposited in this place of repose. All the party then retired, wishing him a good night, and removing the candle for fear of accidents. When the door was closed, I was, for the first time; made acquainted with the • structure of the bedstead, which our hoSt considered as, his masterpiece. I.Jiiiialie7teuehing of a spring outside the door, the bed was so acted' upon by a pully, that ascended slowly and smoothly through the four posts, until it came within two or three feet o[ the ceiling. The snoring of the Scotchman was the signal for touching the spring, and he was soon at the proper attitude: The servants required no instructions how td act. In a moment the boom was in an uproar cries of "fire! fire !" were heard in different directions. A pile of shavings was set in a blaze opposite the windoW where poor Sawney slept. The landlord's voice was cotinually heard, exclaiming, "Good heavens ! save the y_oor Scotch gentleman, if possible ; the flames have got into the room just under him At this moment we heard him fall and bil low out. A sudden silence took place : every light was ex!inguished, and the whole house seemed to be buried in the most profound repose. The Scotchman's voice could alone -be heard, roaring out in the high dialect of his country, for assistance. At length, two of the men servants, inr , their , shirts, with a candle just lit, and yawning, Ds if, just aroused from their sleep, criterod the room. They found him spratvlini on the floor. ".Qll, dear sir, what is the matter with you ?', "Matter !" says he; "why, isn't the house on fire ?" " , Not at all, sir." "What was the reason of the . cries of fire, then ?" "Bless you, sir, you must have been dream ing ; why, there's not so much as a mouse stir ring, and his honor and the whole family have been asleep this three hotits." The Scotchman now gave up all credit in the testimony of his own senses. "I must ha' been dreaming, indeed, and ha' hurt myself by falling out of the bed." "Hurl yourself, siri—not much, I hope, the bed is so low;" and by this tithe it had been made to descend to its first level. The poor Scott was 'quite confused; quite ashamed at, disturbing the family; begged a thousand pardons, accompanied the servants to the door,°closed it after them, and was once more left in the dark. • But the Mit act of the pantomime was not performed. The spring had been • immediately touched upon closing the door; and the bed was soon beyend the reach of our guest. We could hear him groping about, and uttering frequent • ejaculations of astonishment. Ho easily found the bed-post, but it was in vain he could en deavor to get in. He moved his hands up and down His - legs were often lifted by way of stepping in, but always encountered the floor upon its descent. He uttered exclamations of surprise, not loud, but, deep, for fear of again disturbing the family. Ho concluded himself to be in the possession of some evil spiiit.• In short, when it was found by his', Silence, that he had given Witte teak as hopeless, and had disposed of himself upon one of the elmirs, 4 the bed was allowed in slide downagain;andin the morning,Sawney could not but pxpress his astonishment at not being able to find it ' the dark. -Extract of a letter torjainlit 1792.
