Amoku tlio earliest settlors of Wood stock, a beautiful town In tho Green Mountain Stnto, was n man by tlio name of Sllaa Slooy, who hnd left bis cnrlv homo near tho sea, and following tho windings of tho now Connecticut, hnd at last pitched upon n placo In tho wilder ness, wbcro ho erected hlsjcabln, nndthen commonccd an onslaught upon tho giants of tho forest that reared their heads In sUitoly grandeur about him, but gavo way beneath his relentless strokes, and in a couplo of years ho hadqulto an openspaco encircling ills cabin. During this timu ho had lived alone, but when tho second au tumn camo another Journoy was under taken to that old homo by tho sea, mid when bo returned a young wife boro him company, to share with him tlio Joys and privations incident to a pioneer. Three yonrs camo and went, and tho clearing bud greatly enlarged lis borders, although no arm but his own labored within its bounds. Tho trees that at first had coma up close to the cabin, had now retreated to n respcctablo distance, and the ground they bud onco occupied was now usurped by flourishing crops that cheered tlio heart of tho settler, and encouraged him to still greater oxer tion. Tlio thrco years spent in tlio forest by tho young couple had been thoso of peace and contentment. A son was born to them at tlio commencement of tho second year of their married llfo, and who was, at tlio time tlio adventure wo are about to relate transpired, nearly two. years of ngo, and as bright n little follow as ever cheered tho hearts of parents, whoso very liTn seemed bound up- In that of their child. Tho nearest neighbors of tho Slocys wero moro than thrco miles away, through tho forest, so It was seldom thoy 6aw oth ers than themselves. Tho settler was too much occupied with his work to pay much attention to making visits, and tlio clistanco was so great that It was not safo for ids wife to go olono, as the forests swarmed with wild boasts, which render ed tlio night hideous with their cries. Hears anil panthers abounded, but tho wolves wero most to bo drcatled, and proved tlio greatest annoyance; for often they would gather around tho cabin nt oarly dusk and keep up their horrid cries until tho early gray of tlio dawn t.ont thorn howling into tlio dim nlsles of tho forest nnd up the dark ravines nmong tlio moun tains, whero shadows almost llko those of night lurked all through thu day. Ono day lato In Octobor business called tho settler to tho nearest scttlementof Im portance In that section, which chanced to bo somo'clght miles distant; ond ho sat out oarly In tho morning, telling his wifo ho need not look for him before night fall, us It was very uncertain what time ho would bo ablo to accomplish his busi ness, nnd It might bo that he would not bo homo till lato in tho night; but como ho would beforo ho slept, unless somo un foreseen event Interposed to prevent. Bunding over his child that was sleeping in tho bed, ho kissed It, and then having bestowed tho sanio mark of affection upon his wife, ho bado her bo careful not to stir from tho cabin or to allow tho child to wander from her sight, for fear that soma harm might come to them from tlio wild beasts. Willi this caution, which site promised readily to observe, ho throw his rlllo over his shoulder and took his way across tho- clearing, ond his wifo watched him from tho doorway until tho forest thicket hid lilm from her sight. Tlio morning had given promise of a beautiful day, which nssurnnco was well kept until ft llttlo past meridian, when tho wind changed to the eastward, and dark clouus uegan to oiwcuru uiu Buy in uiu south and wost, giving srrong iudica tlonsthat a storm was ulghot hand.

For a minute, Mrs. Slocy was so par nlyzod with horror that for her llfo or her child's sho could not have moved or ut tered a word, nnd tho wolf also remained stationary, Bidding tlio air, nnd then moved cautiously toward tho lire, to tho momentary relief of tho mother, ns sho saw Hint ho was farther from tho bed upon which her boy was sleeping, yet whom It seemed ns If no power on cartli could save.

Horror-stricken nt tho situation of nf fairs, Mrs. Slooy watched, with n sinking heart, tho movements of tho wolf, who, finding himself thus caged, began to movo anxiously nbout tho room, no longer seek ing so much for food ns for n chanco to exenpo; but nt Mils moment what was tho horror of tho mother to sco her bow nwakened, no doubt, by thonolso mado by ma siamming 01 tnc uoor, riso up in lien and call her to come to 1dm.

When half-way down tho ladder, tho wolf mado n spring nt her ; this was the moment for her to execute, her hastily formed plan, and throwing tho quilt, slio enveloped tho wolf In Its folds, who, not fancying this covering, commenced back Inn toward the other sldo of the cabin. striving to get rid of It, but In vain.

It will refrain from all discussion Intend ed to sustain its own position, and will limit Itself at present to submitting to the Judgment of tho Tribunal tho following eonsiilcratlons: As tho ships, whatever may bo the cir cumstances, wero procured In British ports for war purposes, and were employ ed ns belligerent cruisers ncalnst tho United States, whilo Gtent Britain her eelf remained neutral, these events have been tho rauso of displeasure and regret to the Government of Her Britannic Maj esty. Tlio rogrets exist despito tho fol lowing facts, which It must bo conceded nro Important to nrrlvo at ujust apprecia tion ot tho question. Tho vessels were procured by cunning nnd clandestine means, which ballled tho vigilance of tlio Government officers. Njt one had the leust armament. Somo had been con structed ns ordinary merchant vessels, having nothing whleli -to1iI miaiiiuiii'iii specially for war. In number they wero very small; and, Anally, the persons who obtained posscssslon nnd control of tlicm, nnd employed them for belligerent pur poses, wero themselves American citizens, which tlio United States Government has always admitted. Such facts should seri ously all'cnt. In tho mind of every Impar tial man, the question rclativo lo tho re sponsibility of a neutral government. Tho united Slates Government professes to lmvo tho right lo pecuniary Indemnity for claims which it says resulted from tho acts of theso vessels; that Is to say, war like operations carried on by means of thoso ships by persons who had them In their possession, It Is evident that n pre tension of tills nature Is such that Her Majesty's Government, animated as it Is with the most nmlcablo sentiment toward the United States, could not, In virtue of tho respect it owes lo its own rights and thoso of neutral nations In general, con sent to admit, slnco It believes that It Is not founded on Justice. It devolves on tho United Stales to es tablish tho propositions It has advanced, to state clearly tho International duty or duties on which they nro based, and to demonstrate tho violation of which It complains. A charge against n sovereign government of having evinced culpable negligence In tho exercise of ono of Its powers of sovereignty Is nn Imputation which should bo sustained by strong nnd solid reasons. A nation ought not to bo held responsible for n delay or omission which may bo duo simply to Occident, nnd not to want of foresight or reasonable euro. Finally. It docs not suffice to de monstrate that uu net lias been commit ted which tlio government should have foreseen. What must bo advanced and .proved Is, that tlio government failed to exercise tho same amount of caro ns It usually employs In Internal affairs, and which It may bo reasonably required to use In matters affecting international In terests and duties. If tho Tribunal decides that Great Britain has iVicurrcd nny responsibility whatovcr towrd tho United Stutos, tbo question will then ariso us tojvhat will bo tho Just measure ond extent of that ro uiiniiollillliv 11t ATiileslv's Government question, and rescues for J more ad vanced period of discussion fill observa tions that It shall determine to sulmrtt on this noliit In tho name of Great Britain. If claims of this kind wero admitted without roscrvo, a bellcrcnt could nskto bti Indemnified by uicutral for results which justly ought not ,tp bo laid to tho act of tho latter, but elf mid bo placed to ills own tncupnc v nnd dell clout initiative. Her XIalcbtv's Gov- eminent Is obliged to lilnt out that In regaril lo snips wincn 'jinn me omcci of tlio preceding stotemlit, tlio United States Government or itSjolllcers evinced extraordinary tardiness II employing tho naval force nt its commftid, and that, if ordinary activity woroiyxoiclsod to cap ture or lutcrccpt thoso vessels, tho losses of which tho United gjates complain to-day would lmvo been In great part averted. Whothor tho dcclsloryCttho Tribunal Is or Is not favorable toJrf-Grcat Britain is ready to yield to A(a decree,, She has only ono wish, that It bo Just.
