Bow a few days since, my eye fell upon a thrilling description of a contest With wolves. The details stirred some bitter memories of the past. The very name of wolf causes a shudder to creep over me, and brings back a train of most bit- ter associations A dark, horrible vision falls upon the inward soul, its freezing incidents being as vi- vidly portrayed as wtien enacted long ye‘i‘s ago. Forty-eight years ago, as I said. my father’s family settled in anal of the counties of central New York. All was a wilderness, wild. grand, beautiful. We located fif- teen miles from the farthest plan-1 our ‘clcaring.’ The shadows were around us, the tall trees and the picturesque mountains. The axe had opened a space in the forest, and a cabin of that good old time, afforded us shelter. lti looked new and comfortable, and' its chimney-smoke curled gracefully, up and vanished with the shadows of the forest. The blackened heaps smocked and crackled, and deep in these wild wood solitudcs, the wil- derness blossomed and smiled in the presence of yellow harvests.â€" A happy home was there. The birds sang at earliest mom, and the deep river near the door mur- mured sweetly at nightfall. There were gentle whisperings in the old trees. As they bowed their heads1 in the winds, a holy anthem flootedl up from the vast temples where Nature breathed fresh and pure from the hand of God. ’Twas a beautiful home in the old wilderness! The spring brought us neighbors. ’Twas agreat day when a settler came in and purchased land across the river. He received a warm welcome from pioneer hearts. andl by the ready agency of pioneer hands, a comfortable log-cabin, pooped out from the dense wood- lanl of the Opposite bank. I watched the smoke from its open roof as the sun went down, and eagerly looked for it the next morning. But it was not the smoke that I cared so much about. I only knew that it curled upward from the fire-side where dwelt as beauti- ful a creature as ever bloomed away from the busy world. And so I watched the smoke and dreamed as I watchedâ€"until the moon threw down its beautiful pathway of shimmering silver, and listened for the sound of familiar footsteps. Across the river was the home I of Carry Mason. Before the mel- doc. &c. &c. The Monthly Fair-held on the Premises first Residenceâ€"Nearly opposite the Post Office, Wednesday in each month.

But I durst not attempt it with the sleigh. 011 we spedl that infernal pack Curry and I were llWIlCd I0 at- neck and neck with us, and every tend the party. lzad. been built, and in this we started. Ten miles were soon passed, and we found ourselves in as merry and'happy a throng as ever gatherd on a frontier. The huge fire crackled on the wide hearth, and 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 tade fast as the stout horse sped on the forest path. Carry grasped my arm and whispered first! The wind shriekâ€" ed over the teps of the dark pines, and I laughed other fcars. talked with loss glee. Iii spite of all my efforts, a shadow would creep over my own spirits. The road wound among a dense growth of pines, which shot up wards and veiled VCVGti the sky from our path. The old pines swayed and moved in the increas- ing storm, and the snow fell fast and thickly. 1 repaired the horse with the whip, and he moved briskly through the Woods. ' ,, Again Carrv grasped my arm.â€" I heard nothing save ‘the‘ storm, and yet I was startled as‘thc horse gave a quick snort and struck into With a’heart full of hhppiii’é'ss, I liad’not yet dreamed of any danger. '. Again the horse snoried in alarm. There was a sound above the storm. I felt my check grow white and cold, and the blood rush quickly back to my heart. Clear, wild, terrific, it burst out iii an unearthly howl like awail from the world of fiends. I heard it. Its dismal, heart-chiling echoes had not died away on the storm, when it was answered from a score of throats, Merciful God! A pack of wolves were around us! In those dark woods at night, and the storm howling overhead, a score of hun- gry throats were fiercely yelling each other on to the feast. For a moment my senses reeled. But I felt Carry leaning heavily on my shoulder, and I aroused. But what hope was there'l I had no weapon, and the maddcned devils were in the path before and behind us. There was but one chance, and that was to push ahead. That was a slim chance, and] grew sick as I thought of Carry.â€" The quiet cabin and the happy hearth at home, flushed swiftly a galloi). through my brain. At that moment, a dark shadow glided up by the side of our sleigh, and so wild and dcvelish a yell, I never heard since. My flesh craw- led on my bones. A cold shiver ran to the heart and crept over my head as though the hairs were standing on end. Two orbs glared out like demon lights, and I could hear the panting of the eager beast. Firmly grasping the lines and shouting sharply to the horse, we shot away. The horse needed no urgingâ€"â€" At the act, the infernal chorus again burst out in earnest, and their dark forms leaped in lengthened strides on either side of us. The speed was fearful, and yet the yelling devils kept pace. Turning to speak to Curry, 1 saw a dark form leap into the path, and as we sped ahead, his teeth shut with a vice-like snap, missing Carry, but stripping her shawl from her shoulders. With a shriek she clung to me, and with my arm I saved her from being dragged out of the seat. God! It was horrible! were to be eaten alive! Ibecamc rnaddenedâ€"tecklcss.â€"- I shouted to the horse, now reek- ing with foatn. We went at a fearful rate. The stumps, and roots and uneven places in the road, threatened every instant to wreck our sleigh. We But she nestled closer to my side, and l A rude ‘jumpor’ now and then, jaws strutting like steeltraps close to our persons-â€" Once around that angle, and I hoped! How madly I shouted to the noble brute! We neared the turn in that race for life. ‘ Heavens! the infernal devils had crossed ahead and hung in dark masses ahead. A demon instinct seemed to possess them. A few rods more! The wolves seemed to feel that we had a chance, for they howled more do- vilishly than ever. With a sv‘voop the horse turned in spite of me. The left runner struck 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 sunk as I heard his quick foot- steps dying out towards home! ButI had no time to think. In truth, 1 can remember nothing dis- tinctly. It all seems a nightmare which I can never forget. Tire maddencd pack had fol- lowed the horse, and shot by us as we were thrown out upon the bank, for a number of rods. A shriek from. Carrv arrested them iii their career. In an instant, they were upon us. I gave one long, despe- rate shout, in the hope of arousing the folks 'at‘ the cabins. I had not time to shout. again. Their hot breath burned upon me, and their dark masses gathered around like the shadows of doom. With a broken limb, I wildly kept them at bay for a moment; but fierce and closer surged the gnashing teeth.â€" Carry lay insensible on the ground before me. There was one more chance. A stunted pine grew upon the outer edge of the batik, and shot out nearly horizontally over the river below, full a hundred feet from the surface. Dashing madly in the teeth of ihe pack with my cridgcl, I yelled with the waneing energy of de- spair. grasped Carry with one arm, and dashed recklessly out upon the pine. I thought not of dangerâ€"I cared not. I braved one danger to escape a greater. I reached the branches, and breathed freer, as I heard the fierce howl of the baffled pack. , . I turned mv'hcad, and God of mercy ! a long shadow was gliding along. the trunk to our last refuge. Carry Was helpless, and it required all the strength of intense despair to hold her and remain open the 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 a snap as my hand brushed his head, With a demoniac growl he fastened upon the shoulder. of Carry! O for helpâ€"ofor a weapon , -â€"â€"for a foothold upon earth, where I could have grappled with the monster. I heard the long fangs crunch into the flesh, and the smothered breathing. as the wolf continued to make sure of his IIOtd. 0 it was horrible. I beat him over the head, but he only deigned a munch- ing growl. I yelled, cursed, wept, prayed: but the hungry devil cared not for curses or prayers.â€" His companions were still whining, and venturing out upon the pine.â€" 1 almost wished the tree would give way. , The wolf still kept his hold upon Carry. None can dream how the blood hissed and swept through my knotted veins. At last the brute, hungry for his prey, gave a wrench and nearly threw me from the pine, Carry was helpless and insensible. Even the crunching teeth of the monster did not awaken her from the deathly‘swoon into which she had fallen. lsince that night. Another wrench was made by the Wolf. and Carry’s waist slipped from my aching grasp, leaving me but the hold upon the skirt of her dress. The incarnate devil had not released his bold, but as if aware of dow into the abyss, fast wearing out my remaining strength. The blood gushed warmly from my nos- trils. and lights danced and flashed across my eye-balls. The over- taxed muscles of the band would re- lax and as instantly close convul- sivcly upon the eluding skirt, I heard a tearing of stitches! The black mass bencathed writhed and wrenchcd, as if to deepen the hold. A sharp cracking mingled with the humming noises .in my head, and the dress parted at the waist! I shriekod, asI heard the sweeping sound of the fall of the black devil and his victim, as they shot down, down into the darkness. I heard something like the bay of the old house dog and the tiringof guns-â€" and heard no more =11: =1: :1: are =11: Weeks and months passed away - before the fearful delirium of that night left me. I returned to con- sciousness in my father’s cabin, an emaciated creature, as helpless as’ a child. My youth had passed away, and I was prematurely old. The raven black locks of twenty, had changed to the silvery ones of eighty years of age. Look at this arm that clung to Carry! It is wi- thered. I never have raised it In my dreams I feel again that fearful night, and awake, covered with the cold, clammy sweat that gathered upon me while on that pine. The neighing of the horse, as he dashed into the clearing, had aroused the people at borne. The empty and broken sleigh told a brief story. The howling of the wolves arose on the blast, and with guns and the old lieuse dog, they rushed to the scene. They found me senseless upon thetrunk, covered with blood, and a welf feeling his way towards me. In turning at the sound of their approach, he slipped and went down upon the ice. Our people looked long . for Curry Mason, but did not find her until next morning. They then went down on the ice, and found her corpse, The wolves had not picked her crushed bonesâ€"I thank- cd God for that. The fall had partially broken the ice, and the oozing water had frozen and fas- tened her long black hair as it had floated out. The wolfhad not re- leased his death grasp, and his teeth were buried in her pure, white shoulder. The spring sunshine, and birds, and green leaves had come again, asI tottered out. My sisters led me to a grave on the river’s bank-â€" the grave of all my youthful hopes, and of all thatI loved. The wild~ flowers were already starting on the sacredftndund. I wept over and blessed them, for they were bloom- ing upon the grave of Carry. Such was [the fate of my first and only love. There never was but one Carry Mason !
