A STOKY OF CUIUVOY.V.NCrl.
It w:i a race lor life. Following lianl
iijioii the fleet ol Intr were a troojt of
wolves :i fleet. Charles Vanee lieanl
their hreathiii, the short, impatient
jfiiifTs, the regular patter of sharp feet
upon the ice like n cliek. The .-i-eite lay
in Canaihu The moon ailel ihrouirli
Irirtinir clouds, now partially obscured,
then bursting forth in a flood of silverv
;ht. At one bide was the den-.e pine
foivst, broken by clumps of leatlii oak
or Inekory, aim whkIiii"; hi and out as it
followed the course of the river; on the
other the wide, snow-covered plain. A
mile yet before a hour.o could be reach
ed, and in that time
ltr.ivc as he wa.-, Mv. ante liinlilcr-
ed. At twenty-eight there was mi much
of life before dim. Jle had reached a
a point where fortune began to mile
upon him; and for the lust -i.v montlis
liisneiMitv hours had been bright with
glowing air i-.itles, hiih all had Ito-e
Anlley for their day dream. For her it
wa-i lie nal ilmJei taken this perilous
journey.
Faster ! faster ! This turn .showed him
the tierce gleaming eyes that repeated
themselves until there seemed to lie htiu
dreds. I.'ays of lurM light lla-liuii out ;
lolling, M-arlet tongue:-, that thirsted for
a draught of blood ami dainty morsel of
llesh. A mis-slep, a half-hiddeu hillotk
of ice to trip the unwary traveler, a mo
ment lost, and he would be in the power
of these ravenous animals. Xo wonder
that his pulses quivered, or that he
shrank from .so horrible a fate.
More than once he had gone down the
ri er for pleasure. .More than once thei e
had been a gay party; girls in their
pretty skating costumes; but sweetest ol
all was l!ose, her golden curls blown
about by the wind, her cheeks brilliant,
her purple eves dilating with enjovment.
(.right and coqueti-h was she, fund of
teasing him until his patience was almost
exhausted; but a sweet, loving girl in
the midst of it. At midsummer she wa
to be his wife. He had extorted that
promise from her, though he would have
feign taken her long before. And yet
only the other morning the- had tallen
into a trilling dispute about this ery
visit. She wanted him to go up this
Thursday evening; he did not see his
.vay tlear to do it conveniently.
"Thursday is pay day," he had said,
alluding to his work auil workmen. " 1
never can get away on Thursday nights
until uarK. jiy uorse nas laiieu lame,
too, Kosc, I cannot ride him after to
day." " Von once thought skating up the riv-
era mere pastime," replied Miss Ardlcy ;
and her tone was a trifle sharp and
hau-rhtv.
1. " In the day time and with company,
that makes a ilitlerence.
"Oh, very well ; if you care so little
to come, there's no more to be said ; "
and she turned away with an air of su
premo milifferencc
"Hose, it is not that. I can come up
Friday, and stay until Monday."
" Rut Thursday night is Eleanor's
birth-night. I thought of the pleasure to
her. to have vou among her guests.
Don t nut voursell out. however.
Charles Vance was not a man likely to
le canonised for either meekness or pa
tience ; ana sue was purposely trying mm.
He felt vexed.
"I'll tome if ;l can," concluded Mr.
Vance, shortly. His tone was cold, and
his eves wandered over the waste of
snow.
" Von- well," she gaily saM. " I shall

him the tips of her dainty fingers.
He strode down the path, wnhitched
his horse with a jerk, and wcut riding
over the road, never once glancing back.
Perverse Kose Ardley was privately
peeping after him, rather enjoyin than
not the scnii-jptarrcl.
" I'll not go ; she shall not get me there
on Thursday evening," he answered to
himself, in "his annoyance. But ere
Thursday evening came his resolve was
broken, after the maaaer of lovers, d
he meant to go. '
"I must skate up," he said. "Tho
night is clear and IrostyT'
"Hopo there be no wolves abroad,
Master Vance," said tho brawny Ebs
lishman, Hugh, one of his workaeB aad
warm admirers. "Stauwley shot oae
over by tie bridge the ether morning.
You'd bettei-tak a psteL"
"I'll trast to lack Md ay reed akatea."
answered Mr. Vance, iMgfciBgly, rather
ridiculing the notioa of welre."

uouier, as in aWaSwercjuiu one at a
distance. J- or a moment his blood curd
led in his veins. What were these cries ?
All, what! what but wolves ?
.Xcar came the cry ; and nearer; as if
the dreadful aniraah fcentixf tr.rirvictiia.
He glfded over'tlic ice like lightning,
his strides iiuickcned by the first click
he heard from his pursuers. On. tirst.

during his sojourn in these Canadian
wilds.
Faster! faster,! Turns that frigh'tfnlly

with painful distinctness; herca kuarh-il

security. And now the river widened.
Handy a week before he ami Hose Anl
ley had enjoyed a rav frolic of skatinir
on this very snot. W'as she still vexed

In imagination, their red tongues

One of them
seemeii to liurt nun in
some way, lor
un-rv came a snarp iiowi oi pat 11. J lie
pursuit was sIojijksI for an instant, then
I hey came on the faster. Charles Vance's
limbs were weak, his pulses throbbing
from exhaustion, his very brain reeled.
The liery eyes seemed to scorch him with
their lnr.dg.aiv, and now lie could hear
the rapid, expectant breath. So near
safety, and yet A despairing cry
broke trom his lips. Hose, IJose! Fare
well to bur, to happiness, to all.
IJoe Anlley, the teiiterof ag.iy group
of cousins and friends, was this self-same
evening doing her utmost to be attract
ive. She was fascinating at all times
and seasons, but when she used a little
effort could make herself doubly so.
.She had forgiven Charles Vanco a i.ozcti
times since that last angry morning. He
.i .. .. . .. .
- -
uould be sure to come early, she com
placently told herself, and he duly peni
tent. Alter all, I liarles Vance was a
lirave, noble fellow. She thought she
would not flirt one bit that night with
any one else. The guests all arrived.
All but Mr. Vance. JJosc wondered.
Had he been really vexed, and was stay
icg away to punish her? Well, let him
stay. She should not mope or wear the
willow. Lovelorn girls were always
absurd.
So l.'nse Ardley was the gayest of the
gay. iiiey nail a quadrille, .some ol
the elder ones sat down' to cards. l)r.
Call wn, a deeply scientific man and great
mesmerist, and three or four others, went
into a discussion on that wonderful sub
j eel clam oyauce. 1 he doctor had been
mating several remarkable incidents,
when it uas proposed that a test should
be given them. Who would become a
siibjct t .'
Xo one appearc'i inclined at first, but
Miss ( 'alt ran finally acquiesced, and took
her seat in a small room they adjourned
to. The dot tor had succeeded in sending
her to sleep, when dose looked in ; her
attention was immediately arrested, ami
she watched the experiment with much
eagerness.
" Would any one like to put any ques
tions?" asked Dr. Call ran. .
There seemed a silence. "Eleanor Anl
ley broke it.
" Kose will. Rose is always ready for
anything." And Miss Rose acquiesced at
" I don't know what to ask; or what
I wonld most like to hear," she said, with
a gay laugh.
"Askaliout Charley. Ask what keeps
him away. You can tease him well,
when you know that."
" Rut is thero really any truth in it,
I)r. Caltran ? " and Rose'sdeen eyes were
luminous with some feeling akin to curi
osity. "It is true iliat the medium can in
many cases seem to enter, a person's mind
and answer in a remarkable fashion,"
was the reply. "Many failures arc re
conled, and mistakes made, but I think
they are due to our imperfect knowledge
of the science. Suppose you try, Miss
Rose ; no one can suspect'you ot collu
sion." Quite a circle began to gather round.
Mis Caltran appeared to bo in a tran
quil slumber; her lips were just parted,
suggesting her whito even teeth, which
were very handsome.
" Well,"" said Rose, daringly.
'-' Place your hands in her'"," directed
the doctor" " Now think intently of the
subject in which you wish her to feel
interested, and then ask yonr qaestion."
A thousand thoughts tailed Kose Ard-
ley's brain in an instant, bat that of
Charles Vance was the Most prominent.
What should she say ? for delicacy seem
ed to hold her back" on this subject
" Make haste," cried Eleanor. " What
is Charles Vaace doing? Has he rone
to sleep and forgotten to come here? or
has he gone visiting elsewhere ? "
IJose colored. "I think I will. not
-ask" bat a chores of eager voices
iatcrrapted her.
"Flay fair now, Hose. Xo backing
oat. Arc you afraid 1 "
It was her consin Kate who asked this,
aad the Mrceetietonewoeid hwvgeaMMt I
Rose to an j efbrL lanefcaagi letter
of nerve and brain she hecaa.
" Don't getexrited' said Dr. Caltran,
snulinKeheeringlj.
ito.ye nteed was too em w lain nttrss
to sway Mies Caltran, (at tenet, so the
Doctor said;) she .amoved nanmily, and
vainly jawy it to ! JlCt tffnmkr
ed to traenOLsc her. Kwas sease tkne

with apprehension. As if translating the
yonng girl's emotion, 3lis Caltran begttn
slowly i.
" our friend is in great danger great
danger. He is tying as if for his life,
first this way, then that," making a tor
tuous motion with her hand. " Ho is on
the' river the ice and .something fol
lows him fast, idoii't vou hear a sharp
cry?"
" IJose turned deathly white, in spite
of lier strongest efforts.
"Is he coming here?" she asked,
scarcely knowing what she said.
"Oh, heaven! they are gaining upon
him last ; he goes like the wind, but tliev
loo are feet.
As Miss Caltran said this md it must
bo remarked that her words throughout
were labored and nlow she sighed dcci
ly and evinced great agitatTon. Her
breath was long and painful.
"Xow they are up with him now!
Oh, save him ! save him! hark to their
cries f"
"Oh, by heaven, what fools we are ; "
suddenly exclaimed (,'corge Anlleva
light breaking on him. "I seC it all.
Vance has skated up the river, and been
followed by a pack of wolves ! One was
killed a day or two ago, :,n, several have
been seen prowling round, dun for your
lives, lriends. (Set something and come
to his assistance."
1 Jose stood spell-hound. For a moment
the room swam round; stars appeared to
till every space.
fieorge thrust on iiisc.tjiand en.it, ami
slung his rifle over his shoulder. Two or
three followed suit, and the rooms were
in a whirl of contusion.
"Let me go," Rose almost shrieked.
" My child, there may lie some mis
take," said Dr. Caltran, soothingly,
alarmed at the consequences of his lis
ter's vision. " Ho pray be calm."
" Xo; there's no mistake," shcanswer
ed, hysterically. " I told him to skate
up his horse is lame I dared him to
come. O merciful heavens, forgive me '. "
She was in a perfect agony ofde-patr.
The horrible vision be cousin tleon-e's
wonls conjured up made a more vivid
ono in her bmin. Her face, that hi.ul
been so brilliant but a short time before,
was now the picture of anguish. She
could not help thinking that if any evil
had befallen him it was clearly herf.tult.
How many times she had tormented him
almost beyond endurance; been cool,
capricious, laughed at his tenderness and
his Iovu. Arraigning her heart for judg
ment, she found that it had been bitleriv
cruel to him, to the one man for whom
she would have given hur life, if occasion
required. Ill the confusion and crowd
she passed quietly up stairs, got her
shawl and hood, and stole out unso.-u.
Aloi.g she sped like a shadowy wraith,
and was at the river as soon as the men
with their rifles.
Hark! what was that? A sickening
despairing cry; a wail-of mortal agony.
IJose recognised it for Aw voice for they
were close upon him now.
Yes, the cry came from Charles Vance.
With that one desp.iiiiug hurst, ho gave
up hoe, and turned upon his horrible
pursuers. In the moonlight, his eyes
glared back to those fien e balN, and th'ere
was a deathly pause. The suddenness
iuta7.ed the unreasoning brutes, but the
fon'iuost crouched to spring.
A ball went whirling by, so closely
that Mr. Vance felt the hot air upon his
cheek. Then a yell ensued, ending in a
howl of maddening pain. Another re
pot I, another; loot steps, voices; yet he
did not stir.
Oh, Charles! ( "harles ? " and the next
instant Hose lay senseless at his feet.
At first he could not think, could not
speak; the utter surprise and sense id
deliverance overwhelmed h:in. He knelt
down on the ice, trembling in every
limb,and the rest came thronging annind.
The discomtitted cuemv were retiring
with savage cries, leaving two of their
number dead behind them.
"What is it all?" began Mr. Vance.
" I 1 cannot imagine "
t " Ho not try," interrupted fieorge Anl
ley. " It is the stmngest thing that ever
hapjicncd. Can you walk home? I'll
sec to Rose." And he nicked her up as
though she had lieen a baby.
The3' went home slowly ; Mr. Vance's
strength was all but exhausted. Augry
muttcrings followed them from afar; but
there was no real danger now. Rose, re
viving to consciousness, straggled away
from her cousin's protection.
"Let me walk I am quite well now,"
she said, with a touch of her old inipcri
ousneas. And she got to Mr. Vance's
side.
"Ob, Charles! I have been so selfish
and cruel ! Will you forgive mc ? "
Charles' answer was to take her arm
within his and pros it to bis side. She
broke down with a sob.
" Hash, my darling ! God ha inter
posed to save me. Rut still I do not un
derstand how or why you should all have

"Oh, Charles, it is the strangest tale.

George Ardley, from behind. "We'll have

At the foot of Livingston street, in
tho year 1825, was an important spot of
high ground, known as "Manhattan Isl
and" apkec where were located the
hip-yards, among them the large one
belonging to Henry Eckfurd. The pro
prietors of these yanis had an extensive
correspondeiiee with the South, csjiecial
ly with Georgia ami Florida, fmm which
they obtained their fat pine and live oak
used in shiii-building. Mr. Charles For
rester, more than forty years an em
ployee of the jMistofTice, and who still
ierfbnns his daily and anluous duties,
then u Imiv, lived in the suburbs, and he
would bring up the letters directed to
these ship-builders, carry them across
the wet meadows that iined the eastcrni
shore of the istsnd, and deliver them to
their owners.
The year was matle memorable by the
flit that Colonel Ueeside obtained the
contract to carry the mails from Boston
to Xew York, the route being over the
old post road. Rcesidc's stages were
very showy, drawn by four blooded Vir
ginian horses, and driven by the most
accomplished "Jehus."
On pleasant summer afternoons, the
people confined to the lower part of the
island would purposely walk np to the
Bowery to see the " Boston mail " come
in. Some time befon' the vehicle reached
the old hap.scalcs,jut where the Cooper
Institute now stands, the driver would
herald his approach by a melodious
winding of his horn ; then laying aside
tho vulgar instrument he would assume
his legitimate scepter, the whip, which
he would harmlessly crack over the
heads cf his spirited steeds with a noise
that, on a clear day, could lie "heard a
mile."
On Saturdays, the jolly school-bovs
and girls would gather together under
the tall poplars ami buttonwood trees,
and, as a stage dashed along, they uould
wave their hands as a welcome, and the
most venturesome would catth hold of
the straps, and thus have the glory of
riding a few yanis under the overhang
ing ' boot." The characteristic gamins
of that period would evinie their enthu
siasm by following the coach and rollii Ic
ing in the dust of its revolving wheels;
would cheer it anil its passengers to the
end of the route; and especially was
this the case when the driver would pur
posely make abortive attempts to drive
these, human llies away with his whip,
ir a jocose passenger would bandy w
with the boys, and make them crass v
with delight by the scattering ot a few
pennies in the road.
In the winter those gay coaches were
tint aside, and in their place was a huge
liox on wheels, the combjpiatioii not un
like a hearse, in the heart of which was
deposited the load. The practice then
was to aflandon passengers, when the
mads were heavy fnun mud and rain,
and carry the mails; but now-a-days, it
the reports from the many stage routes
be true, under unfavorable cinumstauces
the drivers abandon the mails to carry
the passengers. Afnos Kendall, the in
defatigable 1'ostmastcr-Gcucral, "by his
industry anil good management, reduced
the carrying time between Xew York
and Xew Orleans fnim sixteen to seven
davs. The event was celebrated at the
Merchants' Exchange and the postotlice
by the raising of the national staudanl,
and there was a general rejoicing on
Wall street. Jimmy Mower liad his
joke by gravely asserting that all news-
papors delivered at the office from .New
Orleans Icsstliai sixteen, days old were
printed at the Adcrrtirc'r oilicc. Viir

BruUM Ireland.
We know, of course, that Ireland is
called the "Emerald Isle," and that
tho color of the emerald is green, bat
never had it entered into oar im
agination that there was anywhere ia
this world to be seen such verdure as it
charmed our evc to look uikiii in the
rural districts of Ireland. Tho slopes,
the knolls, the dells, fields of young
grain, over whieh the breezes creep like
playful spirits of the beautiful; tho
pastures, dotted over with sheep of the
purest wool ; the hillsides, rising up into
mist-shrouded mountains, are all cover
ed with thick carpets of smooth, velvet
green. Rut Ireland should also bo call

siMit in Indaud, I lielicve, where blessed
nature can find an excuse for putting a
flower, but she has put one not only
in the ganlena and in the meadows, but

sea, from the great blooming rhododen
drons down to tho smallest flowret that
modestly peep forth from its grassy
cover. "Tlie Irish fiirae, so richly yellow,
covers all places that might otherwise

The rumor reached us of an amusing
incident that happened in a up town
church last Sunday. It appears that the
house was rrowdod to an unusual extent
that day, and one of tho deacons was no
ticablv'happy over the thought that the
collection would be very large. The
thought worried him very much, and
faint visions of a heaping platoengrnessd
his mind to such an extent that he heard
hut little of the sermon, and moved hie
tvonderuus form alout in the seal with
nervous anxiety for tho tinm of taking
np tho collection to approach. At last
tho warning came :ho orgsn jwsled
forth its rich notes, and tho building
trembled with tho sound. Kv cry deacon
rose to his feet promptly, with bright,
shining silver plates, and among them
was the obese church official before allud
ed to. He thought to effect a deeej, and
with great difficulty ran bis hand down
into his breeches pocket, abstracting
therefrom what he thought was a silver
half dollar, which ho placed in Ihe plain,
and commenced his rounds of collecting.
He noticed that every oao he passed the
plate to laughed, and he was at a Jons to
know what it meant. Finally, an old
brother in the corner noticed the cause
of merriment, and bringing their heads
very close together, ho whtK-rcd to the
deacon: Urother , I think yo
made u mistake as to the decoy you pat
into the plate," The deacon glanced at
the plate, and turned red and pale alter
nately, for ho saw there a large white
faro cheek, which his embarassment
magnified into the sise of a saucer. It
is needless to say that the obnoxious
thing was nut out of sight in a hurry, and
tlie prevailing opinion Is that Brother
had been caressing the tiger Ihe
Satunlsy night previous. Ertfuin-jf.
