THE BOY AND THE WOLF
About forty years ago, when I wrs a little
boy of seven years, my father lived in the
provine , of Clanada, when the c matey wa
new, and the wolves were very nutut.rous,—
Dly had heuaht a new farm. -cleared
up -.one of the land and planted smile c•trn
on the new , r.osil, which had ju't been
cleared, some 6stariCe from the Itou-. In
side of the fiel l a large roantity of rail , : had
t we p my lather wanted to draw
to another pi ce. a tit r tance of more than a
quarter of a mile It was in the middle of
th, -.mower, the cattle were tManing to the
woods and the min who was drawtrig the
raik with the oxen and sled, over the ‘ leaves
thronoir The w reds, got . rne to watch the gap
of the fence, to keep the cattle out of the
growing corn. While the man was gone
with the load of rails, I sat down by a large
stump on the side of ,the fence toward•the
woods. It had got to be ahout the middle
of the afternoon, and the son shone warmly
and beautifully into the side of the woods
where I was sitting partly in the shade I
had nearly fallen asleep when I thought I
heard something walking near me in the
leaves; its walk was not that of cattle, crack
log the brush under their hoofs, but it was
sc.ft, cautious, creeping step. I immediate
ly thought of some wild beast, and sprung
upon my feet ;on turning my-elf around to
see what I could discover, 1 perceived a lit
tle m ire than a Ted fvolll We, a very lat go
welt, close beside the log which had been
felled from the very sturnp4 here I was stand
ing The wolf was looking directly at me,
and had evidently been watching me, and
endeavoring to spring upon me before I could
discover him; but the sly fellow had not
quite succeeded. I was nearly half a mile
from home,. andmost of the way was through
the woods, and the man drawing the Tails
was nearly as far off; L knew that an at
tempt to run would only be an evidence of
cowardice to the sagacious prowler, an d
would not enable me to escape the murder
ous cruelty of the famishing wo'f, but I
found deliverance and safety in the following
extraordinary manner : A few days before,
my father had brought home for the chil•
dren two or three small primers, one of which
he gave to me. It contained an account of
a Hottentot and a lion, in which the Hotten
tot was pursued by the lion till it was near
ly dark, and the lion was nearly upon him
The matt perceived that his escape by run
ning was impossible, so he turned and faced
the lion till the beast turned and ran back
Remembering this, I thought that it I looked
the wolf steadily in the eye I should best be
safe. I stood, and placing my bands upon
the stump chat was before me, I fixed a
steady, piercing gaze upon the fierce flash
ing .ayes of my antagonist; and there we
stood. The wolf, howe,ver, soon sprung upon
the log with his head towards me, advancing
severaladow steps; but I fixity believed that
if I did not turn my eyes from his I would
be safel yet the struggle was a tearful one
Far half an hour we stood face to face and
eye to eye, with only about six feet to sop-

crate us. The bright sun shone in upon us,
with its dazzling light on the one side, and
the dark, dense, deep Wilderness upon the
other side. I saw no living object but my
deadly foe, and, beard no sound but the. aint
and distant reverberations of the ox-man's
careless voice. But now this kept growing
louder and louder; and at last I beard the
driver turn around after unloading his rails.
My heart beat violently, and a prayer to God
trembled on my lips, but my eye was fixed,
and the wild beast remained motionless. At
last my deliverance came. I was set free,
and the wolf was shot ! I can never be grate
ful enough-ro-my-A-lmighty—Preserver-for

peril.

Be pointed. Don't write all around a sub•

the subject like a swimmer into eAd water.
If I•ou have written a sentence which you
think particularly fine, draw your pen across
it. A pet child is the worst in the Wilily.
6. Condense. Make sure that you realty
have an idea, and then record it in the short

their quintessence. 7. When the article is

A QUAKER'S HousE. —When the Second

Quaker gentleman was applied to among
others, to furnish a horse for the good of. a•
cause to which it was known Le was in heart

A man whose name need not be mentioned;
attended divine service, not long since, in one
of the middle counties of Virginia. He was.
wicked and profane. The minister preached
a solemn sermon, full of warning to the im
penitent. At the close of the service, this
man got into a quarrel with another young
man. The preacher gently rebuked them,
and warned the profane man, that if he were
to die in the state in which he then was, he
must perish, and that he was in danger of
dying suddenly, and being lost. 'Before to
morrow's sun goes down,' said the man of
(hod; 'you mi — tyche de — ad and — in perdition.'
To all this the man replied, that, 'if he went
to hell, the minister lied nothing to do with
it, that it was none of his business. With
some other words of warning and admonition
the minister left him.
The neat morning, the profane man was at
a railroad station, hut a mile or two from the
church where he had received the solemn

made an 'effort to jump on the steps of the

A Wish and a Want
There is a
_rest d_eaLif_sviz:
and prudent management embodied in' the
proper application of a wish and a want.—
We heard a gentleman say the other day
that he made it a study constantly to teach
his children the difference Between a
wteli
and a want— Frequently those little ones
were earnest in the appeal, .Papa, I want
this or that.' But it was not a want—not
a need, not a necessity to be supplied It.
was a wish, a whim of the moment, a caprice
overlying the, seed of dangerous impulses,
which, it is imperatively demanded_ for the
future peace and happiness of those indulg
ing such feeling should at once be crushed
out. Nor is it only children who make a
wish serve to show -a want where none in
reality exists Men and women indulge thi3
practice until it has become the source of
many vicious habits the medium of crushing
misery, and the creator of loathsome degrade-
tion The petty debts by which many it
poor man is borne down to ruin grow out of
this propensity to make a wish serve the
uses of' a false want. Families are indulged
in their wishes until extravagance assumes
the phase of necessity, and want, grim and
gaunt, enters where peace and. plenty once
abode Women and men wish for indulgen
cien which are alike dangerous to health and
true morality, and in the meanwhile flatter
themselves it is want they supply. If war
simple wants were all that we supplied, there
is not a man or woman in the land but would
have more than they could consume. That
which is necessary to promote health and
iusure happiness is within the grasp of every
one—aed our wants, that is our actual needs,
require of us all the least effort of tiur lives
to rain Every man and everywoman can
profitably study the difference between a wthit
and a wish, Parents can do no better for
their children than teach 'them the same
lesson. Good will surely come from such
studies and the practice • they encourage.—

cannot be put on paper. Here we passed

some lying on their sides, some bottom up

but by sunset we had left them far astern
I lingered long upon the scene upon which
we had gazed in delightful wonder 'L'he
